No problem. And I’m not entirely sure on everything myself. Just giving my best guesses.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.

Woof. Brian went hard.Attractions is suggesting that everyone in the world is wrong on the direction and we'll actually be starting off by riding an elevator up instead of ending with the drop track :crazy:O:

Anyone remember awhile back when that was my original theory also? Eventually I realized we had it backwards though.Attractions is suggesting that everyone in the world is wrong on the direction and we'll actually be starting off by riding an elevator up instead of ending with the drop track :crazy:O:

If that were the case, then we wouldnt have drop track, it would be a "Elevator ride up". I doubt they went through the lengths of that whole buidling to have it be an elevator ride up. I do not believe this direction theory.Attractions is suggesting that everyone in the world is wrong on the direction and we'll actually be starting off by riding an elevator up instead of ending with the drop track :crazy:O:

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.
Similar to how Disney decided to add a booster seat option to Mission: Space Green Team after last Summer's refurb. That technically could be done to accommodate someone like Warwick Davis on FJ, but Universal doesn't break the pre-set protocol as you said.Unlike Disney, Universal follows any and all manufacturer specs as gospel. Disney will take a ride, say thank you very much, and develop their own standards and operational procedures. But Universal leaves any and all liability with the vendor. So operational procedures, maintenance plans, safety guidelines, etc all come from the 3rd party documentation.

Oh I know it's not just about height, I was just giving an example of something that is semi-plausible that could be done if they did indeed want to specially accommodate a celebrity guest.It’s not just about height but average body size based on that height. This is especially true with OTSRs.
Not sure if anyone posted Yukon Quad, one of Intamins newer family launch coasters that opened in April. It looks like a nice preview of what we may see here (but this would be 100x even more themed) They still have the same style seating as the older family launch coasters. Do you think they'll stick with those half seats with lap/leg restraints? I know there has been some debate with the angle of that spike being taken into account
I doubt it'll have those trains because of the spike and drop track. They would also have to change the entire underside of the train to accommodate the LSMs which, as far as I know, isn't offered as a launch system on that model.

Universal’s finally building their “Big Thunder,” maybe next we’ll get their “Haunted Mansion?”I don’t see why not. Works with the Haunted Mansion.

I’m only expecting what’s been said. This far into it it can’t really change much.While I’m very excited for this ride and think it will be fantastic, I’m also keeping my expectations and hype in check.
