Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

For us, no. But it does let the casual fans know enough.

A ride vehicle concept would have been nice...........

Cheetah Hunt plus Gringotts?

Just saw this too, I hadnt even looked at it this way but it looks like hes right. Were kinda seeing just the top of the ruins and the load station facade behind it, which is of the same style by the looks of it.

I cant get over how much better this is going to look without red and blue steel loops and construction cranes. It will finally feel "complete"

I love it. Wonderful air of mystery in the artwork. So is pottermore hinting that this image represents something known from the books?

official ride name confirmed:
Harry Potter and the suspense is f***killing me.

I think the overgrown feel of the site also says to me that this isn't ruins after the Battle of Hogwarts. Even in the art, it looks like this is a lost land that time forgot, with lots of growth on all sides of the ruins. Maybe there is an old castle place near the forest we never explored in the stories, and that could be exciting. It does say it's a magical new adventure on the poster after all.

Even the style of trees that were just planted match up to the concept art. Love the attention to detail.

I was going to point that out and say that the angle in the concept art has taken creative license and the castle ruins are reversed. To see the castle ruins with the queue building behind it (as we see in the art work) Hogwarts would not be behind it.

This isn’t a crazy idea. Scotland is filled with ruins like this.

The new adventure alone makes for a ton of new merchandise that will pay this thing off in a heat.

That's from those Brits constantly wasting the countryside during wars, raids etc. .

Based on the concept art, I'm betting the word "forest" or something alluding to it, is in the ride title.

 

[Joseph]

It seems like a amazing ride I can’t wait to check it out

Just with respect to the time period, I would actually be surprised if the "story" of the ride explicitly commits to a particular moment in Potter canon.

We (meaning theme park enthusiasts) may know when it's supposed to be taking place, but to the average guest I would expect it's going to be presented as just another adventure at/near Hogwarts.

So, far the only one that doesn't is Flight of the Hippogriff, which is one I compare this to most often, (just as a more grown-up version,) so I could see that being the case.

Any idea to what those little purple flying guys are? (Coming from a non-potter enthusiast/reader)

Nasty little buggers.

I Googled "Sex pixies" and "Sex fairies" to try to come up with something witty.

Certainly not what I was expecting. NSFW. I repeat... Not Safe For Work.
