If that were the case, wouldn't he be covered up now before the attraction opens?
i would think that anything that's outdoors would be bolted down for potential windstorms.

Fluffy was probably built with something strong and durable. Uni does keep their animatronics (aside from JPRA) in a good state.
Those fake thatched roof material used at Volcano bay could do a great job as fur for Fluffy when it's the right length and color.
I think CGI promotes lazy film making. Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 still looks pretty good considering their age but that was when CGI was the last option compared to now where CGI is the first option.
Practical almost always looks better and this applies to theme parks as well. I'm so pumped to see Universal getting back to practical rides.

While I do agree I wanted to make the distinction that the overuse or misuse of computer effects does not mean they are all bad. The peak was when the go to was to use the computer to enhance practical effects. We know the old saying necessity is the mother of invention. Back when they actually had to make something happen in front of a camera that brought in the creativity and problem solving skills of how to get it to work. That would often yield better results than if they can do whatever they want in a computer. I do believe there is a place for computer effects, just used in a way that you wouldn't notice how it was done.
Transformers would have been so much better if the robots were practical

Really just the final Optimus being practical would take that ride to a different level.

It's been a while since Universal Orlando debuted a major attraction that primarily used practical effects. Hagrid will satisfy that thirst.

Call her Medieval but Where's umbridge when u need her tho.
It's there somewhere from last year. That's been around for a while.
It's in that thread 4 times now actually lol.
I'm so thirsty
Also, lets remember that bad pacing and story can also take a toll on a ride's enjoyability...Practical effects are great, but a ride can still be awful with them (ex: everything at Motiongate Dubai)
Yes, that's true. But this surely looks like a winner from what we can see. This is certainly no Madagascar attraction, practical but boring.
I feel like this is way more interesting than Everest
