Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

I assume you can see the building from the ride however, and that’s my concern.

In that leaked concept art it appears a tree mural is going on it. Hopefully that and real trees help mask it.

 

[Mike S]

You seriouslay can’t see the building unless you lean out from the right area to look.

Well I haven’t been there myself in ages so all I have is the picture and memories of how DC’s track was just as visible from the station.

It’s really hard to notice the building from HE platform. You really have to know it’s there. I had to crouch down near the exit stairs to even get that shot.

Really though? I disagree. To me it's right in your face, like how DC track was visible. I think in these immersive environments, your eyes are constantly wandering and taking in every detail and then, BAM, show building. But they did it with Hogwarts......I still believe they should have lined that area behind the entire wall with trees AGES ago, like the surrounding area. But that's me.

They could just add more brick to the wall behind the tram platform to be a bit talker if they really felt it was an issue.

I think trees, maybe on a raised platform if they aren’t tall enough, between train station and the building would be nice.

This. Just some elevated planters and call it a day.

And about that post..... you left some details out. Practicing some restraint again? Hahaha

I think once the mural goes up it'll be fine, especially if it's as good as the mural on Kong.

1) Alicia took photos and told you how she did it and said it's not an issue.
2) I was there last week and without craning my neck I couldn't see it

But no, that can't be IT MUST BE WRONG.

I disagree and have seen it in person. But it could also depend on which “corral” you are in. A mural would be nice. A straight line of trees would be heaven.

If the concept art is anything we're getting both. The ride still has three months or so of construction left.

My only issue with a mural will be if the roof line is still flat. Some tree cut outs at the top would be nice.

 

[JoeCamel]

Paint it green camo and make a wall of succulents. Or brick it like Alicia suggested. Either way they can make it go away.
Personally I am not bothered by a building view out of place, I don't even see the FJ building any longer. I don't look for it either.

That would be nice, and it’s what they did on Kong

I'm pretty sure I've complained about this viewpoint before, but I'll do it again and again and again.

There has been ZERO precedent set for total immersion with literally anything Universal has built. Not once, not ever. Whether it be a little bit of coaster track or a showbuilding, they aren't gonna hide it completely. The concept art showed a mural, so that's most likely what we're getting. If that's a problem for anyone, I advise accepting that and moving on. Otherwise, don't even queue up for the ride. I'll gladly take your spot, unthemed showbuildings and all. :grin:

What about the immersion that it only takes 5 mins by train to get from HM to DA?

From inside Hogsmeade, the train never even leaves. Just stays nicely parked for a photo-op. Illusion=shattered.

Um, inside Diagon Alley? And who said they weren’t going to ride because of the building?

 

[tielo]

Disney never does that, they have so much space to work with that they can make it look perfect.
