Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Visit Orlando have just put this on their Facebook. Can we read anything into this? A secret press event to reveal the name and possibly opening date too haha?

They're simply stating that they're exited about the ride. There's not much to read into.

Wasn’t that concept art not officially released tho? It was pulled from Pottermore right?

Pottermore is the official website for Harry Potter.

That artwork has been provided to travel agencies by Universal.

Universal uses that artwork on their international websites themselves.

It is 100% official.

Edit: Example of Universal’s use: See What's New

That wrap at the crest of the hill is ready to be ripped off for a test.

End of the video has first movement tests caught on video as far as I know, right?

Holy crap, those shots look BEAUTIFUL. especially, the one that @Scott W. brought up.

Excellent job to @RollermanDan for the photo/video coverage.

Super jealous of you Orlando people! I wish Hollywood was able to build these massive outdoor coasters.

First I’ve seen. I thought it would have been faster

But seriously, that looked so smooth.

@RollermanDan i have to ask, are you going to be changing the name again? Something Jurassic themed?

 

[Magic-Man]

Does this mean that the drop track and backwards sections have been tested as well? I don't know how else it could get to where it is now, unless the take the train off the track and replace it everytime they need to test something.

Or get pulled backwards?

 

[Magic-Man]

Or get pulled backwards?

I guess that they could do that. But the first section of track has wear marks as well. Not to mention that there's still a lot of work going on in the ruins-area of the ride.

 

[Mad Dog]

Looks like a lot of progress has been occurring. Good signs.

Thanks for checking them out and the share!

Thank you!

They were doing incremental speed tests last night. First launch was slower than the second. Second went a decent way up the hill and rolled backwards like the first launch that I saw.

They've been "testing" for about a month now. Certain areas of the ride have been focused on and then moved on from. Water dummies are already in the train, just wrapped to keep us from getting views.

It's like the theme park military visual tactics squad.. Bio controls the air and you control the ground. :thumbsup:

Bio, Alicia, and Chip all do a fantastic job. Glad I can be considered apart of the crew.

About that air thing though...........:whistle:

Sounds like Midway Mayhem Air Command is in the works. .....and a possible WW 1 style Dogfight in the sky with Bio ?

It’s like a modern version of Thunderbirds.

 

[rhino4evr]

Do they test the ride with the ghost sheet still on the train?

Why do the ride vehicles have to be a secret too? It’s all so ridiculous.

Just tell us already!
