To piggyback what gabe said these are definetly LSM launch fins. They look identical to the photo below

Aren't those fins closest to the camera for stopping the train in case of a rollback?

The gray/brown ones at the end of the launch are just brakes, yes.

Now this is weird, I've never seen launches like this? It's as if instead of a zoooooom in 1 launch, It will be zooom..zooom...zooom in 3. I'm in love:exclap:

Depending on what's happening at the time in the ride, a bumpy launch could be relevant.

Oh most definitely, there's no reason to space out launch sections like that, its definately intentional for whatever it is.

If the train is themed like Hagrid’s motorbike, keep in mind it’s always sputtering out before the engine goes full jet blast. Like on Hogwarts Express as we’re watching him fly by out the window.

Ok now.. theres 3 launches into the spike, has to be the bike starts puttering and then it gives out at the top of the spike. Makes sense to me anyway. I think this was said before

Theme Park University’s article a couple months ago suggested that.

is it weird to say i think i m more excited about this ride than any ride coming to Orlando over the next 3/4 years? am i over hyping this?

I think it's best to temper expectations because we tend to make things much bigger and grand in our head then they actually are (this is used to good effect in horror).

I think 2019 is a big year for Orlando. What’s best will probably boil down to personal preference unless Star Wars or this proves to be beyond exceptional.

I bet you anything, the biggest complaint is going to (once again) be, "it's too short."

People comment on my video saying it's going to be the longest ride ever! But, reality will be much faster than it takes me to explain each element.

Speaking of, what should we roughly be expecting the ride duration to be? Something in the 2 - 3 minute range?

3 minutes with no lift hills will be awesome and sounds great to me for a coaster. This ride along with the new nighttime offerings with the castle and new show coming at Sudios will have me planning another trip soon.

A good coaster should be packed with fun the entire time, so much so that you feel it is short and want to exit and get back in line.

I wonder if this new ride will offer Express Pass right away or if it will be offered once the ride has been open for a while?

I would guess after the official grand opening it offers Express. (I’m pretty sure an Express line will be included in the new queue configuration.)
