General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

[Alicia]

I think you want front for spike thrill, and further back for better scene viewing.

Backwards stuff was great from the back too!

Looking at another POV that is just ride from leaving station to just passing the unicorn, ride looks to be about 2:45 of actual ride time.

Also, in the POV the car doesn't move but @Brian G. said it does. Was it just not functioning or did I miss something?

When I rode I missed some of it but noticed the door open/close. Was right after “technical difficulties.”

Its 3:26 of actual ride time 5 minutes from load to load

Looks like the left drop track is being used. During our previews, I believe the right drop track was the only one used - so it’s either they switched up, or both are in operation. I think it’s the latter.

If you watch the POV video, you can clearly see that the skrewt is sitting on some kind of "pole" to move back and forth.

You can kinda see the pole that rotates the Skrewt.

I appreciate the clarification. Bit of a bummer, but hopefully it doesn't distract too badly.

How many trains are they running today?

Has anyone's ride experience been ruined due to seeing all the maintenance paths and concrete? Asking for a friend.

I saw exactly one path and said a swear word

I mean, I personally consider ride time to be from when the action begins and ends, not as you slowly make your way through load. So that's what I was highlighting. Actual outside, on the track time is roughly 2:45-2:50.

No

Imagine having waited in line for 7,8 hours only to get rained on and have the ride close?

 

[DMA]

Well I lasted four years without watching a Gringotts POV but I caved and gave this one a look just to be part of the opening hype Looks like incredible fun!

I hear you. I can't help it and always watch the POV. I will avoid it for like 6 mos or more before I actally go and forget all the details and even the main parts.

Oof

“The ride has been postponed indefinitely due to inclement weather. will will be back with you shortly with more updates” British PA lady, com’mon! I wanna get a real shock! :yikes: Florida style!!

looks like it’ll just be something for another day. :spit:

 

[Evan]

Oof

Oh my... :wow:

Edit to add:

This must have been a last second addition... I didn't realize from people posting the images on the screen it was literally on a plain old TV mounted to the wall... They must have something themed coming. Right guys?

Y’all remember that POV videos are a poor judge of a ride. Even if things look great it’s not a substitute for riding it.

 

[Stryker]

Oof

You just gave away the place to charge your phones.

For sure. One thing a POV certainly can't capture is how it FEELS. Plus your locked in to the view it has as opposed to being able to look around at things on your own.

Can't wait to ride this.

Does the skrewt scene spray anything or does it smell like anything that they said it would when they announced it?
