Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[UniversalRBLX]

I think there's more Magical Creatures to this attraction then even I realized, so I don't blame them for going with "Hagrid's Magical Creatures."

If they did decide on that name, I hope they add Adventure at the end or something else to signify that this is a "thrilling" ride, and not something else.

Yea, anyone that had to write a book for 2019's was left with the hard decision of what to call this thing, since it will be open this year. I have also seen "Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures" and "Hagrid's Motorbike Coaster" a few times.

I've been meaning to bring this up in the lack of announcements thread but if I was a ticket reseller in the UK, I'd be beyond pissed off with the lack of information.

This coaster is almost going to be a ticket to print money but officially, the ticket resellers can't say a thing about it besides a leaked bit of concept art and that it's being built. Zero details and no opening date.

My apologies, when I first typed that out, I actually mentioned not wanting to go off topic.

We sure could use some aerials soon.

I was thinking Bio's frequent flier miles might expire soon if he doesn't get back up there, but I'd guess he does have a Disney marathon this week...

Rix Flix just posted a video where he says the coaster is supposed to open in April.

April? no way.

But this queue, I can't wrap my head around. From what I've pieced together, the outside means essentially nothing. Even @Alicia saying "gatehouse"- I need to get the exterior gatehouse out of my head. The outside clearly isn't. But the *Inside* will be.

I assume the bottom line is:
Outside = nondescript ruins
Inside = recognizable areas/rooms that we've gotten to via tunnels

@Alicia - It can now be said with authority that it is not the Gatehouse from the outside. Are you still thinking it will be on the inside?

That would probably take a miracle, even if he's talking about soft openings.

Any time before the end of May is super unlikely.

I'm no construction expert but it sounds as if the final tower crane might be coming down today. Anyone going to be at the parks that can post photos?

Sounds like I got a sour tip. False alarm.

Yea, not the Gatehouse, but a gatehouse... Give me a couple days to sort through my rumor bin and get back to you. Lots of new questions and intriguing concepts to rummage through now. :surprised:

Love it when @Alicia has intriguing concepts and new questions to rummage through. A Leak A the Stellar One, we wait for your posts.

Just passed by and they had a larger crane taking down the last one. Looks like they only had the tower itself left standing. I'll try to get a picture when I go by later.

It was never to open in April.

 

[Alicia]

April "soft" opening maybe... MAAAYYBBBBEEEE. May opening (Memorial Day weekend) was always the internal target for the grand opening.

Just because the big construction crews will be done by April, doesn't mean crews like scenic, AA installers and effects programmers will be ready... or more importantly, that the coaster itself would have cleared the X amount of hours running successfully needed before allowing the public to ride. There's more left to do than just build.

Having said that, if they could actually get this open before Star Wars in CA, I'm sure Universal would be very pleased.

 

[Andysol]

"You know I coach a soccer team... I made a few inside universal contacts who share some information with me"

Sounds credible.

 

[JoeCamel]

Spot on info. @Quint Buy your source a drink

April ends in 9 weeks and as quick as Universal builds, I just can't see it. It still seems like they're is a lot of small things to get completed plus full testing and training.
