- This all-new thrill ride will take you deeper into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where you will encounter some of your favorite characters and creatures. It’ll be unlike anything we’ve ever done before and it will be fun for the entire family.
- This ride is going to redefine the category and transport you to thrilling places, drawing you into even more exciting adventures within the wizarding world. It’s going to be the perfect addition to Hogsmeade.
Also in the press release, it mentions thrilling places. Graveyard, maze, the lake. All of which are places that make sense in the setting of the ride and the other facts stated above. For a while now I had the idea that they could put a maze ride and have it end in the graveyard scene. A while ago they filed a patent for wands or some type of device to control a ride and the path you take, I doubt now knowing it's a coaster this will be part of it, but who knows.
Also, this type of story allows the viewer to view Harry and the characters from afar, and they would be able to use audio from the films. They might not want to repeat the dragon from the forbidden journey so they may show for the first time the other dragons. Also, we could see the ride from the other champions perceptive, until the end where we would see Voldemort in the graveyard. The only problem is why is the rider put into the story, who is telling us in the queue what is about to happen. Hagrid or Moody could be an option, or maybe a show scene reveals it more during the ride.
For effects, I would be surprised to see mermaid coming out of the water at the car, if that's even possible lol. All of this is my opinion, who knows it could be the forest but I think it would be harder to pull off being that it would require an entrance not located where the current is.

How that hasn't been fixed yet is beyond me.
Being chased by a clown with a chainsaw > chasing a clown with a chainsaw. Ditto with werewolves, acromantulas, and dementors.
This is a good guess, but technically, they don't have to follow any particular storyline from the series verbatim. Forbidden Journey certainly doesn't . As for magical creatures, there are so many to choose from: Aragog, the basilisk, Buckbeak, centaurs, dementors, dragons, Fawkes, Fluffy, Grawp, the giant squid, grindylows, mermaids, Nagini, thestrals, unicorns, werewolves, winged horses, and maybe even a nargle or two.
As for places, there's definitely the lake and the Forbidden Forest, but we could also see the Shrieking Shack, the boat house, Aragog's cave, the owlery, Hagrid's hut, the viaduct, the quidditch pitch, as well as any number of places we could apparate, portkey, or travel by floo powder to.
I do remember someone mentioning once that Hogsmeade is generally set in the earlier books, while Diagon Alley is set in the later ones. If that holds true, we're much more likely to see the Triwizard Tournament than Grawp. Anyone know if the early vs. later books distinction still applies?
Would be awesome if one of our gamers could recreate the layout in RCT or Planet coaster.
Where was the buck-fast? I missed it
Here's a thought... if the new coaster doesn't take place during the Triwizard Tournament, does that mean will they get ride of the Triwizard Spirit Rally show?
Triwizard Spirit Rally: Universal Orlando
EDIT: I see now that the show is performed in Hollywood as well, and they have no Triwizard Cup to speak of, so I withdraw my query.

Poseidon's pretty cheap to run; All of the fire effects are achieved with natural gas, and everything outside of the vortex is essentially just lighting. The real money pit is the show next door.
Yes, Oh The Stories You'll Hear is quite costly...Mostly spent on peppermints for the cast ironically
I really don't think we need Aragog in the new coaster...Personally I'd like to see Centaurs, Mermaids, Gwarp, and the Giant Squid
Perhaps even an encounter with some Death Eaters
Essentially stuff that hasn't been used yet

Someone was saying it will “plunge” into the black lake and see the squid. I know no actual water would be involved.
I think someone was theorizing that a trench running along the Black Lake could incorporate "underwater" special effects of some sort. Either that or a sort of Moses-style parting of the waters, perhaps. Even without special effects of that kind, a few of the giant squid's tentacles could extend up and out of the water towards us, theoretically.
Theoretically it could appear as if we are going underwater, like Diving Coaster in Japan:
It could then enter a showbuilding
I am not expecting this though, and nobody else should be

I agree with you but it does look pretty cool. I've watched this on Youtube before and it looks awesome.
Meanwhile in the Nintendo thread.....
