Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Is it possible that the train shape resembles brooms?

Although it has been determined that this is a motorcycle/sidecar duo, brooms would have been fun. As long as there were legit seating a la how the movies completed their shooting, and not just straddling a broom for a four minute ride.

But with back and head rests, so your head doesn’t roll off during the spike portion.

I don't know. My head might still roll of exhilaration on this one.

Correct.


This section is going to be isolated and I’m sure themed prefab pieces will be installed along the inside of the wall. They already started on the wall against drop building. Hopefully they get a lot of tall trees in the middle to make the area feel dark right before you enter the building. But I don’t believe it’ll be enclosed fully with a roof.

Plus, I believe this will be one of two sections with a prominent fog effect, to help disguise the transition into a building, and the walls may help keep the effect isolated.

I’m trying to figure out that show building... are guests not able to see it? Or are they going to hide it somehow? I see a low stone wall... but that’s it?

Still more to come.

I envision more rock work and possibly a mural that blends in with the surrounding forest. I think the most interesting visual construction is yet to come. Somebody get a gofundme going for biocopter updates. Specifically for January and February.

I wish they would plant a few large oak trees in this setup... the conifers are beginning to look a bit redundant. Deciduous trees grow in the forest too!

The sound walls are getting a Forrest mural for sure.

I really wouldn't have wanted to straddle a broom on a coaster ride. Wouldn't have been able to walk normally for a couple weeks afterward. Come to think about, riding a broom like they did in the HP movies seems more than a little impossible.

I'm not sure about the first two movies, but I know they actually made molds of the cast's rear ends to make a custom fitting seat that was edited out in post. Women would probably be fine on a broom for the most part, but men...

Things I wasn't planning on realizing today - why only witches are traditionally shown to ride broomsticks.

It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure the brooms in Harry Potter are not only enchanted to fly but also enchanted with an invisible cushion/seat. As described in quidditch through the ages.

Magic for the win!!

Thank you Alicia. Keeping smoke in an enclosed area will be smart.
In this photo from bioreconstruct (@bioreconstruct) | Twitter there are some more of those black poles visible as is a hollow concrete column and some other bits and bobs. It's strange because they are all on the outside of the helix and won't be very visible. Whoa this amazing ride is driving me insane.

I hope they rework where this enters/exits. It will be a very popular ride.

Great point, I feel like this ride definitely needs to exit closer to the Ollivanders shop/Live performance stage area. It's going to be a cluster if they don't rework some of that traffic flow.

But, that is where Dragon Challenge exited.

Ooops, I remember it exiting into an alley full of stroller hell. Time for another coffee lol.

I just now realized that this ride won't have any screens. Holy hell.

I'll take the odds against that

Maybe 1 musion effect. Either preshow or first scene. Could explain why that first turn is enclosed.

I think we can all live with this!
