Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Writing Rides]

The entrance looks to be manageable, it's the lockers that are completely blocked...I think...

Still, for opening day when they host the ceremony & then people ride, they have to have an alternate way into the lockers

I assume the stage won’t be up on opening day. This will likely be used for the media opening event.

Definitely no softs with that stage up. They must be gearing towards the media dedication/opening moment very soon.

Good riddance.

Good riddance.

I learned so much about theming from him, though.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

Good riddance.

Out of the loop here. :?:

To think, this ride is about to open soon. I remember we all were speculating what was going to go here, after DD’s closed. Time flies by and I’m really excited to be able to ride this when I come for HHN.

 

[Imperius]

Yeah I am waiting until the first September day when schools are all back in session.

And everybody is at Galaxy's Edge.

And everybody is at Galaxy's Edge.

To drink badly reviewed blue milk, and ride a perplexing Smugglers Run.

 

[ChrisFL]

Even with this opening here and currently Galaxy's Edge only open in DL, does anyone think that the media and social media attention has been completely sucked out of this ride opening? Besides our great people on here of course

 

[Alicia]

Here's some different angles of the temporary theming in video form if you're interested. The little dolls all chewed up from creatures is soo cute!

Gonna be honest i dont know if its because its on the west coast, but at least on social media it feels like its died down a lot already. I feel like enough people haven't seen it yet hence why i might feel that way. But i believe when those on ride and queue pov's start popping up of hagrid's it'll be just fine plus media day is a no brainier spotlight grab. So no, i don't think swge even came close to "completely" stealing the spotlight. If anything some people are looking forward to Hagrid's so they can compare and contrast it to SR after its mixed reviews even though its apples and oranges.

Hearing Team Member previews maybe starting tomorrow at the earliest.

Whoa cool. Fingers crossed.

Whoa cool. Fingers crossed.

Interested to hear if the ride truly has roughed itself up already. If this ends up riding like RRR, that's going to REALLY suck. Surely Universal will adjust speeds and unltimatley replace the worst track parts if that happened. This ride has to be an absolute headline, not headshaker.

Rumors of the roughness have been greatly misinterpreted, namely in the recent Orlando Weekly article. I feel like he took what we were discussing here, and some of the things I've mentioned on social media and conflated them, and then jumped to the wrong conclusions. The ride isn't rough. It's actually quite smooth and I can't wait to experience it for myself.

TPU makes some good points on the subject today:

Good one! Since today has pretty much passed.
