On one hand though, if it's going to be a simpler system for Intamin that doesn't have any "gimmicks", then it might be a better option to continue with Intamin.
That said..Gestlauer is a nice thought.

Well the downside of launch coasters is that they generally have shorter ride times, however, the plans do clearly show the track passing through multiple buildings that probably include show scenes that which will make the ride longer.
I don't have anything to contribute to this debate besides my gut saying Intamin, but it would be really cool if someone could put together a list of which manufacturers are rumored to be building which rides in EU.
Funny enough..
Setpoint Inc. - Donkey Kong
Mack - Dueling Coaster within the entrance land (rumored to be the manufacturer), Viking boat ride within Dragons (the interactive boat attraction)
Gerstlauer - 2 Sky Fly's within Dragon's
And I believe @Disneyhead might've mentioned that Yoshi was an Oceaneering job, even if it's an omnimover system. I'm going to make an effort just for the time being, to have a list and update it more costantly; as the permits should be rolling in more and more.
There’s no way the HTTYD coaster would be Gerstlaur.
and the support system tells me it’s not inverted

Being a coaster it would be over in a flash unless the building was like many multiple times bigger. Unless they just rolled it along on tires the whole time, which would defeat the purpose of it being a coaster.
Yea. That concept looks cool, but it would not work for Universal given the space restraints in 3 of the 4 parks the ride will be going to

True true, so are we talking some sort of bus bar system? and if so, will the vehicles rock back and forth ala Spidey and be able to mimic drifting?

HTTYD will be a feast for the senses. Lots of movement throughout and of course UC will have a field day creating a visual wonderland.
I'm not sure about this, but I think the HTTYD coaster may be Mack. Also the hub coaster could be Premier.

I say, use that tech for a F&F redo...Just wasn't invented in time for ver 1.0
I think the HTTYD coaster will be Mack as they do a great job with family coasters in tight spaces.
HTTYD does have a spread out layout but it is weaving through tight spaced throughout the land
I hope Universal doesn't use Premiere as their coasters are too damn loud haha

When done right, Stage shows can be both amazing and people eaters. Disney excels at this -- look at the Frozen show at DCA, or Finding Nemo: The Musical at Animal Kingdom. Both are top-notch shows and are always full.
