Wow they are cranking on this right now. Very impressive.

Nice to see the mulch landing in some areas, good overhead view of showing what areas they are pretty much wrapped up.

Which areas have mulch? I haven’t noticed.

The areas near, and across from, the large hut/barn. They also have small shrubs planted, in addition to the trees. Pretty much a finished landscape look in those areas.

It looks like it will be non stop from the hut to fluffy, thats a pretty good run. Gringotts I think suffers from a lack of coaster section after the final launch. You think this is where it gets crazy and then it’s over. But this seems to be a major improvement on that. Plus standout coaster elements would definitely be the giant spike ! Surprisingly steep.

Gringotts is a dark-ride that uses coaster tracks and some coaster element but is NOT a roller-coaster. It is never presented as that by Universal. Stop comparing apples and oranges.

The Goblin portrait in the queue specifically says roller coaster.

"Roller coaster-type ride" is the language used, because it's a legal safety spiel. The ride has coaster elements. It is not a roller coaster.

If it looks like a Dog and barks like a Dog...

I guess it’s a Cat.

But you're trying to say a dog (safety warning) is a cat (advertising/marketing)

Honestly...who cares how it’s labeled.
This ride will be much different from Gringotts.

It’s easily a roller coaster. Just not a good one. Rides that aren’t roller coasters wouldn’t have roller coaster parts at all. It’s simple logic.

Guys, seriously this is the Hagrid thread. I let this go for a bit but we're just in a loop now.

Spaceship Earth has Rollercoaster track

Right! Some of the things people say are mind blowing in here.

So that mskes it a coaster. A slow moving coaster but none the less.

This is a bad take.

And at no point does it ever move like a roller coaster does. Gringotts does.

So anyone else think Fluffy looks very plasticy? I hope it’s better up close.

He'll look like Buckbeak does at FotH. Don't expect him to be furry

I know very well what Gringotts is and isn’t, what I was saying is that gringotts has a very abrupt ending right after you “escape”. Whereas this ride has a bit more to it’s finale track which I think will make better sense from a narrative perspective.

I don’t appreciate the tone of “your an idiot for comparing the two” when they are both actually very similar, just with varying levels of thrill. Roller coasters with story telling elements. One indoor one outdoor.
