Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Anyone have any info on whether they're encountering any issues with the coaster trains during the recent testing period? I recall the last rumored report, about a month ago, was that everything was running pretty smoothly at that point in time.

Everything is going smoothly.

Everything is going smoothly.

:thumbsup: Thanks. Great news.

They will lose either way. It will be interesting to see them try. Although a new park focused on family friendly rides doesn’t sound too exciting in 2023

"Family" is such a marketing buzzword...I never take it to mean anything

Family is certainly not a buzzword.

nvm

Please do not sully the greatness of this new Hagrid ride with anything from the dark side, namely the F&F attraction. It's bad mojo to do so.

Where this from? Google? Nearmap?

Is this a dated shot? It looks less complete than recent photos from Bio.

Looks like a Nearmap

Tis the nature of satellite imagery.

@Joe dates it about January and I think he's pretty much spot on. The JP water front still has trees in the surrounding aerials.

From Feb 1st. Train on the tracks still wrapped similar to the nearmap shot. The pic would have been taken late January.

I feel like this might be important to note, from Bio.

Still wouldn't get my hope on that leaving. More structure is being added, and then it will be re-bricked... If what I heard is true, it's going to end up being fairly similar to what it started out as in the end.

If it’s the same person that told you what you said below, then they’re already wrong. Clearly way more than “just part of the top” got removed. The entirety is gutted down to the frame.

*Partially* demo’d.

Just part of the top should be removed. Then new stuff added.

I don’t have Alicia’s inside connections so I totally trust her. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole structure is removed. In the first leaked concept art, all that was there was the half wall with a hole in the middle.

Hey, what I’ve been told could be old news and maybe they’ve changed the plans.

Just cause I don’t understand how construction works doesn’t change the fact that the plans were calling for the arch to remain but with an additional section added to it, with another green man face added at very top. Maybe they needed to strip it to its bones to attach the new section, and then rebrick, I dunno... but i still think it’s still going to be an arch at the end of the day, and still match the brick work of the wall and locker area.
