General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

Wow. The boxes moving out of the way was truly magical! Were those drones inside??

 

[shiekra38]

lmao
The boxes blocking the entrance wasn't such a big problem after all. Nothing a bit of magic(and TMs pushing stuff off the way after the cameras stopped recording) can't do.

That was super fun...I imagine they used drones

Also, I love how short and sweet that all was...Now I will envy everyone for the rest of the night haha

In the room before loading those are motorbikes moving around above you, not spiders.

Its both, and I think pixies? Couldn’t tell due to noise. But spiders definitely show up.

^Yeah just saw your video of the spiders. Kinda glad I didn’t witness that in person. Both times we only saw the bikes.

Bike or side-car? Which did you prefer?

 

[Imperius]

How does Fluffy look riding by? And do you slow down in front?

Favorite part of the attraction ie: specific section or overall and were you surprised by anything riding?

 

[Brian G.]

Bike or side-car? Which did you prefer?

Bike. The sensation of "driving" adds a level of thrill. The sidecar, since it sits a bit lower, adds a bit more oomph on the backward part.

How does Fluffy look riding by? And do you slow down in front?

Looks great. You slow down compared to the other parts - but it's still very quick. Looks great at night, too.

Favorite part of the attraction ie: specific section or overall and were you surprised by anything riding?

The last launch. I was surprised at the amount of movement certain AA's had. I expected a bit of a basic approach, but several figures have a lot more to it than a simple tilt or a slight movement.

 

[Imperius]

Well, I might have to suck it up and visit Universal in the summer. Gonna be a hard wait until September.

The queue has been the only area where i've heard complaints/negatives from TMs... what were your thoughts on it?

I think they might be overblown, IMO. It has some neat effects and cool looking rooms; and anyone who thinks is just Dragons queue 3.0 is nuts. There are maybe a couple of spots that are "familiar", specifically the first circular room (where the Cup was) and the cave hallways, but even that was touched up and redone.

It's A+ with theme, but I gotta think about its ranking in the UO catalog.

Second best launch? 3rd and 4th?

 

[Brian G.]

Second best launch? 3rd and 4th?

Um, I guess the initial launch?

 

[devinp267]

Um, I guess the initial launch?

Ok. The one after the "figure 8 if you will" looks a lil punchy. And how's the backwards launch?

 

[Ryan]

Do most of the launches feel like true acceleration or are some just keeping speed?
