Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

:huh:

One post is about now. One is about 12 years ago.* Also I was talking about 2 different points in the ride.

*Holy crap Everest opened *12 years ago*.

(Hopefully) last bit about Pathway-gate 2019: Do not bet against UC/WBC/JKR. They are undefeated.

I'll bet any visible path ends up looking like this:

Side note: Holy F that rock work and moss work is beautiful.

That was one of my favorite shots.

Btw, I have the full res zoomed out pics in case anyone has requests to see something closer. I did best I could to pick out obvious cool stuff in the article of course.

IDK, I was speculating on the color of concrete. The responses were along the lines of it's impossible to change it (incorrect), and it still isn't done yet (so open for speculation). Ironically these objections are actually in conflict with each other. IDK why people are getting upset about the discussion, but twisting around what was said doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Now a firetruck isn't going to squeeze around under the tracks. For this their insurance carrier may actually have sterner rules then the local codes, like trip hazards and they may need to be able to get a stretcher in there. So I do not see covering it with mulch or another loose material as a viable option.

Again IDK why they didn't just use a color in the concrete (super simple). One possible option is if they wanted to do something more involved after (still not super complex, concrete is acid washed or stained everyday).

I also enjoyed seeing some of the new props and details that are popping up now, like this cart full of barrels and things...

Also down here you can see a little greenhouse (right under the pumpkins, behind the arch), maybe filled with Mandrakes or even Venomous Tentacula?! Fun, fun!!

See? It’s not that hard to make this look good.

That color is fine if they do all paths like that but as of now, no bro im sorry.

I mean seriously, that tower crane, construction equipment, and all that dirt is going to totally ruin the immersion of the ride.

The dirt looked better than the pathways :whistle:

 

[devinp267]

The dirt looked better than the pathways :whistle:

So that backfired because the dirt does look better

 

[fryoj]

Boy you'll love the pathways in SWGE then cause those are dirt.

Kinda a sidebar, but I'm loving this software that Reverse Imagineering used for the 3D model. If only it weren't prohibitively expensive.

Sorry if it was already answered but what it that thing in the water at the lower part of the photo?

The wooden thing? It's a temporary bridge/pier for workers to cross the stream easily without having to walk all the way around.

From Bio,

 

[Miketheboss]

I’m sure they are going to color the walkways, they have to.

If they look like slinky’s it’ll look fine.

No matter how great this ride is, it’s still going to get a lot of crap for these sightlines. The drop track show building will eventually be blocked by tree growth, but not so sure about the sound barrier. Does anyone know if Universal could take it down?

[rhino4evr]

Looking again at that Fluffy photo, it does remind me of a zoo exhibit.

 

[Dhdhddh]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the sound barrier have a mural similar to the drop trap building painted on it in the concept art?

The black clump near the bottom of the water feature? I believe you are referring to the the tree stump with part of the trunk sticking out of the water
