Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

To me, this ride resembles Dollywood's Fire Chaser Express. It is considered a family coaster, dual launch and it even goes backwards.

I'd be okay with that. That ride looks fun.

For what it's worth, Kanonen uses it's thickest track at it's fastest section, the climb immediately after the launch.

It does, but I was just using it as an example to show that coasters don't always need 3-4 tube track to be a more intense and thrilling ride.

I get what you're saying.
However, one can logically infer that if they're using a thicker track for a section, they're using it for reasons that probably include

1. It's going faster there
2. It's pulling more G-Forces through that section of track which in turn puts more stress on the track
3. The trains are heavy.

The only debate there could be is which one of those is the case, and I don't think it's the trains. They'll be moderately heavy as I'm sure it'll have onboard audio, but it's not heavy enough to necessitate heavier track the whole time.

Good comparison (I loved that ride) though this one will hug the ground more and be faster.

I loved Fire Chaser too. Not intense, lengthy, just pure fun and good theming.

The only thing is Fire Chaser Express is Gerstlaurer. It's hard to keep Mack, them, and Intamin straight these days. Haha

And that's all we really want

This track is going to look great in the dense cover of foliage. But it is surprisingly lightweight track, barely a step above Hippo.

Makes me question how complex the RV will be..?

The complexity will come in track switches, forward-backward launches, and drop tracks

This attraction has finally peaked my interest...

Heck, I just got back from Kings Island (went there for the evening) and rode Backlot Stunt Coaster (formerly The Italian Job). It's a fun but short coaster. I kept thinking, "Wow, this is like a smaller and less well-themed version of what might be going into IOA. A couple launches (albeit a weak second launch) and low to the ground with some curvy bits. I am already excited to see how the HP coaster turns out.

This thread has felt very slow the past few days. We need some new info ASAP. :thud:

I know. Alicia posted some new pictures but I wouldn't mind some aerial photos or something.

God no, I hate that ride.

So? Get out, see a national park, do something. When there's more info it'll be here. They're still working on it.

To concur with Joe, it'll be here when it get's here. We don't need to know every little spec of information regarding the attraction, as some secrets should stay hidden. Go out, do something fun, and discuss other exciting topics. I just spent a rather large amount of my time this past weekend coordinating, recording, and publishing live content, and I enjoyed every moment of it. And why, is because it's something I can have fun knowing that I do great with it.

Patience, is something that can be a nice thing to have.

17. Intense!

... I dunno, probably 2. It’s the scenes leading into this scene that’ll likely have 3, and they haven’t tracked those yet.
