Just when you think most of the exterior concrete and building work is just about done, Bio shows us a load of new stuff thats popped up.
Im confused about the main 'Great Hall' type building that the tracks passes through at two levels. It looked like this would be the Clock Tower but to me now looks like the Great Hall. If it is, it feels a bit detached from where it should be, especially considering the track passes between it and the main queue building which will be an extension of Hogwarts too. Aslo, to be the Great Hall would mean the main window we can see is the top end of the hall, which doesnt really fit. Any ideas what this building actually is? Is it possible theres alot more concrete to go up to flesh these buildings out?
Im curious about the new structure where the ride ends and re-enters the main building too, wondering if this will connect the two buildings or look like it connects the area to FJ when viewed on the ride, like youre riding over some roof tops or something.

It definitely won't be the Great Hall. That makes no logistical sense. I think it's just going to be a building to make it look like Hogwarts stretches all the way to that area of Hogsmeade.

All Gringotts needed was another 100 feet of coaster track at the end....so close to being a perfect ride for me.

Yep! That trick with the false wall is so neat there just needed to be about 30 more seconds of coaster stuff with maybe a few glimpses of theming right before the end
What they’re doing with this coaster is what Gringotts should’ve been. The movies show a much crazier coaster type ride than what’s there.
This is so much more than I imagined!! Thank God for these aerials, they really build up the anticipation.

It's not, apart from highlighting various creatures. The whole ride should take place after the beginning of Deathly Hallows.
And, I'm starting to think it ride may called "Hagrid's Fantastic Beasts" or some other method that ties it to the FB movies.
I could see "Care of Magical Creatures" or Something something Magical Creatures, but not "Fantastic Beasts", so as to not create brand confusion.

Yea if FB ends up in Park 3 you don’t want that.

They won’t accept my calls
I was gonna post this but you beat me to it. It’s such a ridiculous name that I will be upset if it’s not something like this

They're screening me out now.
Especially if they can give the ride sign a magic effect where the word changes before your eyes.

I say there’s a zero percent chance it’s called a coaster in the name.
Maybe this has already been answered, but what do you think they will do with the existing Hagrid's hut that is located by the entrance to the queue building? Seems somewhat silly to see it as you walk up to the ride and then be in it during the actual ride...
I don't think the new hut is supposed to be the same hut... Here's my recent response:
I don't think the one on the ride will be "Hagrid's Hut", just one of his kennels or something
