Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[jtsalien]

One of the great sins of the films is negating the Skrewts, so this would make me very happy.

If we're correcting film sins on this attraction, will the queue be giving proper weight to the Marauder's map? Or the Longbottoms? :...:

Is there a reason you wouldn't enjoy it?

The reported multiple stops. But I enjoy Cheetah Hunt, Mummy, Gringotts so I may be thinking of it too hard.

The only stops are the switch to backwards and the drop track right?

Ride vehicle: Hargrid AA on motor in front of the "side cars" looking train...It's like ET in front of the bikes! I like that to be true but that would be crazy difficult to pull off.

Yup. The drop track segment also doubles for getting the train facing forward again.

The idea is solid but if he's appearing in the ride later on then it won't work unless we're bringing up the never dying rumour of an AA on the vehicle getting dragged off it.

I don't think we'll get a Hagrid AA.

 

[Scott W.]

I don't think we'll get a Hagrid AA.

The man is the perfect build to be an AA. Plenty of hair with a huge frame and nobody can understand a Scottish accent anyway so I could dub the voice over if needed and nobody would be none the wiser.

 

[Alicia]

I don't think we'll get a Hagrid AA.

Oh reeeeaallly?

 

[Teebin]

I wonder if Robbie Coltrane will get a cut of them using his likeness?

 

[jtsalien]

I don't think we'll get a Hagrid AA.

I think AA will mean very different things on this. It doesn't seem like Creaturetech is involved here. I think we could see one or two really cool figures. Then a butt-load of Spaghetti Space Chase.

With outdoor stuff involved, that makes sense

This ride has all the elements to be a groundbreaking ride. Everything 7D could've been and more.

The reverse into a drop track is incredible. Perfect use of Devil's snare. I'm envisioning something like this:
Hagrid "Lumos!"
*See a light from below* *Track Drops*
Look to your right and see Hagrid (on screen or AA) and he says "That was close. Time to get you back" Then you launch forward out of there.

I am also hoping for a Fluffy AA on the scale and quality of Kong. I believe that could be done.

3 Concerns:
1- First and foremost is Pacing. I really, really, really hope they have good pacing. It could make or break the ride.
2- Story. Almost as important as Pacing.
3- The dark incline. Just sitting in the dark before a drop seems under-utilized. They really have the opportunity to have something in there, even if a screen. Grawp pushing us back. Fluffy knocking us back. Anything except just dark... then go back.


This ride already sounds really good. If they can get pacing and story down, it will be one of the greatest attractions in Orlando. If they don't, they'll just have to settle with really good.

You're not going to have anything "push" an RV yet. They've tried to get things precise enough with Kong that they could prove that it was possible... But it's been a disaster. It can't stay in profile. The tech just isn't there yet.

Now you could have other effects. Projections, lighting, whatever... And I would guess we'd have something. Just nothing too elaborate.

Totally with you aside from the Story point. I just could not care less about theme park ride stories. As long as the ride is fun, I’m totally on board

For the most part I agree. There is something to be said to the details in a story that you notice after many rides.

Took me awhile to notice the details on Gringotts after battling Voldemort. Harry tells Hermione to cut them loose, she does a spell and we hear the chains snapping. Nice little details.

"Push" you in the same way the Trolls in Gringotts do.

 

[GAcoaster]

What if instead of being a drop track, the track goes up fast? Leviosa!

 

[quinnmac000]

What if the RV is next level as well....

 

[UniversalRBLX]

What if its a party train and we are traveling to a quidditch after party but the FBI invades...
