Yea, if they did, I would imagine it being like Gringotts where there’s still some line afterwards. Just to break up the line, but not close enough to load as to mess up load times.

Maybe they go the FJ route and have cool stuff that’s good enough to be preshows in the queue, but the line keeps moving as needed. (Love when it snows in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.)

It was a requirement from DL that transferred to other builds. No other continuously loading rides have it. I just don’t see a need?

It breaks up the queue but I don’t really care either way. I find preshows to be frustrating for repeat rides.

I loved the Dragon challenge reride with express. Your head was still spinning when you got back on.

I will only be sold on this attraction if they redo the queue, outside and inside. If they don't it makes no sense in the storyline and I would be shocked if Warner Bros and jk would approve of the castle part not looking like Hogwarts at all. The queue will probably be similar to the room of requirement. A place where you see iconic props and things you see in the movies. Mainly focused on Hagrid.

I’ve heard it was gutted. Totally new inside. Really hoping for some type of preshow or at least a very detailed queue with AAs, but don’t know yet.

My apologies if you have answered this already. In the pictures above, the track coming toward the camera does a minor bunny-hop and turns right at a sharp angle. As it turns right, it goes around a concrete structure. Is that anything or just electronics? I may have misunderstood but I thought that Fluffy would come in as you hit the launch and left turn towards the spike.

The round structure will be an indoor show scene, but not Fluffy.

Sorry. This is hard to explain. Look at the fourth picture of the twitter feed. The track comes between two concrete structures as the track is severely angled to turn right.

Both of those little buildings will be support structures, filled with boring stuff like pipes, control panels, and other non-fun stuff that makes the ride work.

So, just something to avoid hitting. Still, it is always fun to have obstacles. This ride seems like it will do a good job of disorienting people due to all the curves and with it running low to the ground.

Warwick Davis is at UO. Not that it's anything substantial, probably just there for promotion.

I assume they will be hidden from riders behind trees/rocks/facades. They must be accessible to techs and firefighters though, in case of technical difficulties or nearby fires. So paths will likely lead to them.

So, does Universal have a solution for rides that otherwise wouldn’t allow his height? FJ at 48” comes to mind. A tough call for such a crucial celebrity.

Wouldn’t guess no different than anyone else. Can’t go against safety.

It’s a difficult one. No doubt some height requirements are there to gauge the maturity of a ride but I imagine eith FJ it’s a safety requirement. It’s not worth the risk to Universal.

Thank you for answering my questions. I realize that it must get repetitive but I couldn't remember if that small building had been mentioned.
