I wonder if they're planning on doing something to the noise wall...i.e. theming it a bit

TRRREEEEES!!

Real trees. Big ones. My hope anyway.

A similar wall near T-Rex Cafe is covered with so many real trees that you don't even notice the fake wall cutout behind them.

Thanks gabe! It’s great to finally see people standing next to the actual track... it shows how substantial this whole thing is!

IOA isn't even the best park at Universal Orlando Resort let alone Orlando!

Exactly. Volcano Bay ftw!

 

[ChrisFL]

I can imagine Disney fans soon.... "OMG, Universal is building another Harry Potter attraction?" as Disney builds more Toy Story themed attractions.

And as USF gets nothing special.

I think this argument can be made, even if I disagree with it, same as I think the argument can be made that the water parks are the best WDW parks

:bolt:

So glad Dragon Challenge went down for a real Potter coaster. ‘‘Twas a good death.

Dueling Dragons will always hold a special place in my heart as the very first attraction I rode at the park, many, many years ago.

However, I'm very much looking forward to what UOR has in store.

Yeah, but the coaster thrill levels might be similar.

 

[Imperius]

Between this and slinky? No

Disney fans? That’s universal fans, fam.

1. UOR fans and DISNEY fans both complain about Potter taking over the parks.
2. Uh..this is going to blow Slinky Coaster away in terms of thrills.

This isn’t really claiming more area though. This area has been Potter since 2010.

Very true! I like this point. It's not as if something un-potter was gonna go there lol

But if they where to paint a forest on that wall it would even look more foresty, right.
Also isn't that wall quite high, would trees block them?
Maybe they sell it to Trump?

And in theming and in AAs and in show scenes and in capacity.

Something like on the Kong facade would be nice...Most of the time I forget that it is painted mountains and trees

 

[UK-Trigg]

I bet we get an announcement in mid to late June. Along with more info on the nighttime show at USF.

My monies on late June, around the time TSL opens

 

[LJGonz]

Idk if it was just me or not but why did I think the banked and faster track portion of the ride would look like this.

Idk I thought it would go from slow flat track, then after the launch to the thicker track like an LSM launch.

Maybe rockwork (painted) Then trees in front
