Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

I like how colorful it is but I have never seen this kind of glass or the nonsensical design of the glass in buildings.
The glass looks Tiffany like, church windows are more translucent and Gothic churches have always a clear design. But again, it looks colorful and I hope it's lit behind.

The stained glass reminds me of the post war modernism that sprung up in rebuilt cathedrals. I believe Coventry Cathedral has such abstract patterns. I personally do not care for the choice they made here.

This is the wizarding world though remember, which generally means it’s real life made a bit more “whacky.”

It is definitely more modern than the examples in the films. These are the two colored representations we saw on screen.

I don’t see why they would. Kong is easily a top three figure in Orlando.

Could you imagine a Hagrid AA on the level of Kong? Or the Shaman in Pandora? AGGGHHH

It should be a done deal. He’s probably the most perfect character for an AA you can imagine.

Huge frame for all the mechanics and plenty of hair with little face for a more authentic appearance.

Edit: just make a copy of Kong and shave the face a little.

Isn’t it interesting that JKR said no actual characters in the parks but went ahead with this addition. Perhaps she was convinced that Hagrid is a more timeless character?

Let's hope so. Ive always felt when it comes to human face AAs small inconsistencies are a little less forgiving, its different than an animal imo. Fyi I want it to be the best one in Orlando(to date), just a lil nervous.

If I am correct, there's a deliberate reason for the randomness of the glass here. If you look at the window panes in Hagrid's hut in the 3rd film onward, he has taken seemingly recyled broken pieces of gothic stained glass and combined them at random to create windows for his hut. I will say the Tiffany-look of the glass here doesn't work, but the film setwork does tell a story that he recycled old glass and installed it clumsily at random. Because this is his ride, I think it's fitting.

 

[Scott W.]

This has far exceeded all expectations.

Oh boy. Just when you think you’ve seen it all.

Universal posted it too: Universal Orlando Close Up | A First-Look at Hagrid in Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure - Close Up

Jk, he looks pretty cool, but I do think it was an...odd choice for them not to capture his eyes better in the video, especially given you've got so little face to begin with

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Looks good, but I want to see this in motion.

Only 38 more days left!
It feels so close, but still so far.

I believe she said no face characters in the park. After all, characters are already present in the rides in films.

Have they even tested with more than one train yet? We don't want a Gringotts opening repeat.
