Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

Hey y'all, we have a Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge thread for discussions on the old coaster.

Dueling Dragons/ Dragon Challenge

Something that’s been bugging me... I said no bike and sidecar.

I didn’t say no multiple bikes and sidecars.

Maybe.

Ugh. I hope not.

That was my initial thought,
Im honestly having a hard time picturing this. In my mind bikes and sidecars lined up just looks plain daft and uncomfortable but maybe there is a more logical solution I haven't thought of.

 

[Felipe]

Maybe these carriages?

They even have them in the park already...

I was looking back, and that I would like to remind people that Intamin has done two coasters to where they should be more motobike style seating, but isn't.

Exhibit A:


and now, Exhibit B:

Even that doesn't look all that comfortable. If there's a backwards portion I at least want a headrest

My favorite part of my old video on the subject used this graphic to show how silly I think it would look:

Who's to say though that it has to be a fleet of Hagrid Side-cars? If anything, it could be a series of different, yet similar, versions of the side-car, modified to allow people to sit comfortably while riding.

Carriage-looking Cheetah Hunt-style trains minus one car, that's my final answer, Regis.

I love Cheetah Hunt so that works for me.

But with lap bars instead of shoulder harness, cause no upside-downs.

All the better. I like my ground below me instead of above me.

 

[La2kw]

I want to ride in Hagrid's bike and sidecar!

Regardless of what we are riding, I'm really looking forward to this ride. Never rode Dragon Challenge since I can't do that many inversions, but this one sounds like a lot of fun. If it's anything like Manta in San Diego or Cheetah Hunt, it will be great.

Is this the same crane from Aventura?

 

[Teebin]

Is this the same crane from Aventura?

Nope, different color.

These look vaguely carriage-looking: https://rcdb.com/4463.htm#p=36404

Maybe the "zero car" at the front of the train is being themed to a Threstral?

Maybe.

This has been my guess all along. Or at least my hope.

It would beat Tron to the punch at the whole bike thing in Orlando while also providing much more accommodating seating than Tron will.

Best of both worlds, really.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

i just don't see this being a bike and a side car.As i have a feeling uni is aiming for a 40 inch height limit and would prob be going for something more traditional.

Good guess.
