Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Andysol]

Well, based on the official artwork; there is a unicorn and a mural w/ trees.

It seems like Tom Felton is always doing the promotion for these things.

I don't know why, he's so dull and it's nice for Alan Gilmore to have a presence in the promotion but he's incredibly monotone.

I also can't believe they used that artwork. It doesn't give a good representation of what they're doing by showing something so amateurish.

Question for coaster buffs, how many “family” coasters go 50mph?

 

[Riler]

Maybe he isn't as busy as his fellow former cast members, or more willing to show up and promote.

Probably a bit of both, he seems genuinely interested and excited whenever hes involved with these things.

Love the new details and especially the commercial, I think this is going to be huge for them.

I'm assuming the 50mph is the final launch, but I'd say that would be probably the extent of the "family" variety of coasters.

Here's the full artwork from the video:

So 48 inch ride height. Pretty tall for a family coaster I assume.

Wow that crappy concept art was real. Again I eat my words and will judge the next concept art about how amateur it looks. But I guess it's smart to lower the expectation in the artwork and over deliver in the end result.
I liked the announcement although I have no idea why Tom Felton was there, he's not in the ride, right?
Also 50mph (or a bit more than 80kmh in real world speed notification) that is quicker than I thought it would be. This one will pack a punch. And 1200 trees, that is a lot. Now I don't have to try to count them.
Very excited.

Yeah I have a feeling all the trees would make 50mph feel pretty darn fast

It was visible

No, theres a few extra additions and minor changes. Im still surprised they've gone with this as an official release though.

Thank goodness it ain’t just me!

Not like that it wasn't.

 

[JungleSkip]

Nah, I was wrong, it wasn't in there before

 

[Scott W.]

Nah, I was wrong, it wasn't in there before

Here are the differences I've spotted so far.

1. Unicorn near the end
2. train on the track at the ruins
3. fluffy added
4. car added before the spike
5. the spike

I think the art is good to represent the size of the ride. But strangely the official art looks more like concept art than the actual concept art. Zoomed out it has more color and looks fine, but when you zoom in to look at the details it looks really rough. The painted over style didn't work.

About the centaur, considering I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm guessing they will appear in the first(enclosed) show scene telling is what happened(not the same, but similar to Hermione on FJ).

I think people are way too hung up on concept art, something that will never be thought of again after June 13

The new commercial is awesome. Would have been neat to get Coltrane's voice into the commercial.....maybe backside of Hagrid talking to little wizards and then hopping on the motorbike and taking off into the forest.

Sure after it opens people won't see it, but at the moment it will be used in printed publications and at a ton of websites. It's there to hype the ride. Showing the maintenance building and ugly roofs of the drop and queue building is just strange as they will never be seen by the public. A perspective from ground level would be so much more impressive than this and would hype a ton more people to come to Orlando.

If we had this perspective for concept art for Galaxy Edge (as we see it from Bio) it wouldn't look as impressive with all the ugly roofs and missing bottoms of the spires as it would look from the guest's view. Disney does a much better job with their concept art.
