Hmmmmm......
Why would Cait know?
Who? So someone just told her the limited info we know?
If she actually had inside info and details we don’t have would she be posting about it on Twitter?
Hmmmmm......
Why would Cait know?
Cait has been around for a while. I met her several years ago at HHN. I don't know what she knows but it is unlike her to post something like this. I was surprised to see the post today and nothing here so maybe it is something - maybe nothing. Worth watching for a whileWho? So someone just told her the limited info we know?
If she actually had inside info and details we don’t have would she be posting about it on Twitter?
I don't think so, she is a theme park junky and lives for HHN. Been going for years and makes lots of friends. Maybe she has the "right" friend for this one.Who is this Cait? Is she a member on here?
This article covers everything I know (and think I know)Please don't rip my head off on this. Instead of reading all 77 pages of this thread can someone give me the cliff notes of what is already known and what is rumored? I know a lot of the veterans on these boards are very informed at universal. Thanks in advance!
What are the chances this will be a dual-track roller coaster with two levels of intensity? It seems like a lot of you are hoping for an intense thrill ride, while wimps like me can barely handle the 30-foot drop in Escape from Gringotts. I rode the blue track on Dragon Challenge once, became exttemely ill afterwards and never rode it again. I did still occasionally walk through the first part of the queue to get a look ar Hagrid's Hut and the Ford Anglia, however.
It seems like a rather large contingency of Potter fans (e.g. children who don't meet the height restriction and those who are terrified of heights, like myself) would be quite disappointed if a new, highly themed Potter attraction covering such a large area were basically inaccessible to them. There are already accessibility problems with Forbidden Journey as it is. (Luckily, FJ does not affect me adversely, but I know many with motion sickness have problems with it.) While many Potter fans may want a highly themed ride with a great story and a few low-intensity thrills, Dragon Challenge fans want another high intensity coaster with big drops. Is there any way to please them both? After all, what's the point of alienating half your audience, especially when such a big piece of land is at stake?
This will be less intense than Dragon Challenge and more intense than Gringott's. But it is classified as a family coaster, so you should be ok.What are the chances this will be a dual-track roller coaster with two levels of intensity?

0% because that's just not done or because you have inside information that it's not the case? Lol
I think even something like Everest and Gringotts do that.A coaster can be a family coaster plus thrilling. IMO Space Mountain and BTM do both that.
Those too. If it’s Gringotta thrill with AAs it should fit both criteria.I think even something like Everest and Gringotts do that.

But not much is really known or verified on this one yet. Universal’s done a good job of keeping the details under wraps.
This is what I think will come judging from future successes:
Don't expect Kraken or Montue, it's not what Universal does anymore.
Don't expect 7DMT or Goofy coaster.
Coaster buffs and snowflakes have Bush Gardens and WDW. It's going to appeal to the whole family who are expected to fit in the higher level of excitement in their range.
Universal reaches a huge demographic with this kind of rides when you look at the attendance numbers and they are able to keep the strollers density low.
I think Universal will offer more story then those 2 rides and a bit more intense, not by movement but due to the story elements.So what, a Space Mountain/BTMM would be the best one to guess?
