So..they're at a form of verifying stage for parts of the attraction? Interesting..

Honestly, I'm having to think June/July at the earliest, so it can be at the kick start of the summer season.

What it sounds like. Crew from the various vendors to come in and install and set up their equipment per contract. Likely Intamin mostly right now but as more effects and A/V components are added they will be commissioning too.

Commissioning is essentially getting the ride certified to operate by running a certain amount of test runs to make sure it all runs well (I think)

I didn’t notice this before... what are the loud speakers for? I cannot recall seeing them on a work site ever.



To announce tea time? Coaster coming through?

It could be something as simple as announcing weather shutdowns with all of the storms in the area since it's a pretty big worksite

Would bet Harry Potter is not in the name as he isn’t in the ride. Not a good idea to say Harry Potter and the ... if he’s not actually there.

9EAA779F-98C4-435D-AEBE-E8F9F1569EE3.jpeg Some new pics of this new dueling Intamin sitdown/invert have been posted, and this one shows that it has a similar LSM setup to Potter, with a gap between each set of magnets. Main difference is that Potter has retractable brakes between each set and this doesn’t.

seams Intamin is going for short forceful bursts of strong LSM rather than a full line of weaker LSM might be for power efficiency?
With the retractable brakes on the HP attraction but not in the dueling invert not having its prob due to roll back distance.
The new hp coaster will have lots of block sections with multiple trains on the track, while the dueling will prob only have 1 train on the main running block at once so stopping has more distance

with the switch track and drop track and multiple trains. when this ride needs to stop in a emergency/ block error (which causes auto e-stop) the ride will need to stop quickly. the lims can do it partly
I think universal wasted the retractable brakes as a extra saftey mesure, plus it stops the train alot quicker when needed

Man, visual progress has really slowed down on this one. Hoping things whip into high gear after the new year.

This is the boring stage.

It's the equivalent of finding a great tv show, binge watching 7 seasons, getting to the last episode and then having to wait 18 months for the next season. Looking at you Game of Thrones.

On the plus side, we should only have, what, 6 months before we have some teaser trailers? (For the ride, not GoT)

I would hope that there'd be some soft openings in 6 months!

Please please please. If push it, I might hit a soft open mid May...

I am not holding my breath though.
