My understanding is that only one of the tanks held the bio-diesel.

Also since back there was called the propane farm, and you could fill propane tanks for grilling it seems a little odd if there was only diesel.

Does anybody have details on the in-queue photo op? Do they make everyone do it, is there going to be a separate line for it within the queue somehow?

Personally I think this is a brilliant idea. The in-ride photos are so gimmicky and overused, and nobody seems to buy them. I'd rather have a special photo op where you can pose for a good picture instead of risking having a weird face on a ride photo that you won't want to keep. Plus hopefully this means they won't have to have any strobe lights on the ride to disguise the camera flashes.

Didn't they do something similar at ioa in spiderman? They had a separate room on the side of the queue where you could take the picture and they'd give you a slip with the number for the picture. It was in queue but in a side room and then after you toon he pic you rejoined the queue in the same location. I suppose it could be very similar to that

Was it a photo-op with Spiderman? I've heard something about that, but whenever I've been on Spiderman I never noticed that part of the queue. I'm just curious what the photo-op will be--in front of a vault with guards? Will the photo have a cool souvenir frame? Cant' wait.

Yeah the spiderman photo op was in a small "office" right on the side of the queue. If assume that the gringotts photo op will be a gringotts id badge more like a security pass than in front of a vault.

Listening to a podcast, there are rumors that the Gringott's bank tellers are not the most impressive AA's in the new ride....somehow I missed hearing about this earlier!

I think this is an overstatement. AA's are physical pieces; the other animation in the ride isn't so. There were plans that leaked out that showed the tight quarters in the ride. Videos and 3D images shouldn't be considered AAs. Now, there are more possibilities of greatness out in the land however I can't see how it would be said in the ride. I'm hoping for some great pieces in the Magical Minagerie or however it's spelled.

The podcast with the British voices. I think they cited Parkscope in the discussion. Would be exciting if true, but I don't believe anything until I see it. Too many self-proclaimed "experts" out there :)

Edit: HTF I appreciate you and you are one of the best sources of info :) I listen to yours too.

More than a souvenir. Actual currency. And many will line up just to see the interaction.

Uhoh, italics are coming out. Bank tellers interacting with people in the line? Or maybe an interactive experience with a goblin bank teller to get your own wizard currency similar to Olivanders?

Will I have to wait in an uncovered extended queue to exchange my currency? *looks nervously from side to side, ready to run*
