There's no way they're gonna build a lift hill right behind Hogwarts.
That whole area is an eyesore anyways. They could give it the Wickerman treatment and put the lift hill inside a tunnel.

Here's my map... This was only a guess, but considering where the walls are going up today, I may have been on to something.

More like, I would not expect it to go any further than that.

That's definitely something some folks have speculated, but from what I have heard, the Discovery Center may see a small makeover downstairs, but not have the ride or queue go through it.Surprised that DC and the general area to the east of that isn’t included.
I see the coaster starting out on the Triceratops plot, some twists and turns, then out over the water to the area where the Hogsmeade bypass is, then back into the DC to unload and reload.
I’ll try and make a layout later, but knowing my editing skills...... enough said.
I thought that it was rumored to go over paths and current infrastructure?

Also, there is not much space inside that building. Behind the hands-on exhibits is less than 2 feet of backstage walkway, so what you see in the rotunda is pretty much it. Not enough for a coaster load/unload and a queue, so not sure how that would work.
Now, raptor encounter... that I could see moving in there. Or other animal exhibits, instead of just dated 1990s era exhibits. We shall see.
What's sad? The makeover? Or not having the coaster track smashed through the walls?This saddens me
If White Lightning at Fun Spot Orlando and Mine Blower at Fun Spot Kissimmee have taught me anything, it's that good, long, fun wooden coasters can be squeezed into the tiniest of spots, and still work out perfectly fine.Is it really possible to fit an entire coaster, boarding station, and queue line into that area? Unless the coaster also goes elsewhere in the land, I don’t see the queue being able to fit in that spot.
Not to mention that, unless it’s themed extremely well, that spot would look... less than stellar with it being that crowded.
Yup! I belive this is the new walls! They're using green to blend in with foliage. Nice.
Just had a quick look around the area. Is this the wall? I don’t recall ever seeing it there before.

These may be more for keeping debris inside the area during demolition, than from blocking out the view like regular work walls.Man, those look weird. But at least Universal is moving along with their projects now.

Similar canvas fencing went up long before Kongstruction started, when they were clearing the land. Then real walls went up along the path as the building started.

If the area changes to "World," I think a makeover is inevitable.
Just don’t let this be too intrusive and I’m good. I’m more excited for the JPRA update honestly.
