Future of Dragon Challenge?

[Teebin]

Whooooo. That doesn't sound like the Teebin we know. Stand up, shake out the cobwebs, and remember, "THE TOUGH GET GOING". Onward. Get out there fighting. :box:

I am all tuckered out and fulfilled mr man. I always wanted to know the how, why and when of themed park mega attractions and how UC and its big vendors operate. As of the past two years, I know. I guess I got used to info being served to me on fine china with silver plate and a nice starched cotton napkin.

Sadly, coasters are not on the menu...

You're never to old to test & enjoy new items on the menu that you never tried before. Think of this as a big juicy Krusty Burger at a Springfield counter service restaurant. No linen, No China. Just paper napkins and atmosphere ....Never say never...Get crackin. :box:

 

[Galaxy Defender]

I am a wee bit frustrated that I don't know what the plans are, nor do I have a clue of where to turn for a dark secret.

Turn for a dark secret? Clue perhaps?

 

[Mad Dog]

Do we even know if this is happening? :cautious:

Apparently sources have indicated that Dragon's could be removed, but for right now I think it's speculation - I could be wrong though!

Yep, that's what I was alluding to. We've been operating under a few very non specific speculations.

If it's a dark secret I would go for Malfoy Manor trackless dark ride on 2 levels. Think Mystic Manor but with evil characters from the Potter universe in there. I can dream, right?

 

[quinnmac000]

If it was me, I would take it and create two attractions...One involving Durmstrang Institute Ship which is an extreme dark ride based on the dark school from Romania and then the other ride a light and lovely dark ride through Beauxbatons Academy of Magic Carriage. For the queue with Durmstrang being a ship having rocking and lightly swaying floors like an actual boat until you reach the ride platform and for Beauxbations just make it colorful and light with pretty girls everywhere.

I tend to favor ideas such as these two because it would be much easier to get these secondary actors back to film roles for the rides.

The plans are still to close Dragon Challenge, but the replacement(s) are in flux (or were recently.)

I remain excited about the possibilities.

Looks like we know where @Teebin can turn.

If your replacementS ends up being true I too will be excited. There is so much valuable real estate there that could be utilized to ease some of the congestion around Hogsmeade.

Unless someone is unobjectively attached to Dueling Dragons, I cannot fathom why they wouldn't be excited. Likely should appease most Universal guests.

As long as they don't waste 8 acres on an outdoor barely themed coaster, I will be satisfied. I can ride those at any run of the mill regional park.

 

[Galaxy Defender]

Got in another "just in case it's my last ride" rides. No wait. Reride line open.

I believe this is likely true based on general things that I know and the way UC operates.

This is why I'm hoping if it is a coaster, it's indoor and highly themed. I would hope for it to be an attraction unlikely to be found at your local 6 flags. That's my hope.

Personally, my dream for the area is a Haunted Mansion-esque Forbidden Forest dark ride and the long awaited Great Hall dining area. I feel like both Wizard Worlds could use more things for families to do. My little siblings who like Harry Potter and my mom who gets motion sickness can do barely anything at Universal in general, so at least one ride they can do at the spotlight land (that doesn't require a ticket upcharge to ride) would be nice.

Any new ride in IoA from now on absolutely needs to be indoors. Too much closes in rain/thunder.

Great Hall not happening but I agree with the first bit.

If it means more Bella then I'm in!
