EE=Expedition everest??

Yes.

I think its great a lot of the big parks are giving other companies other than B&M a chance but...well, I guess i'll give this about a year to really come to a conclusion. By then a lot more should be known.

The ride system on this is a massive joint venture. It will make the FJ's ride system look easy.

And to refresh everyone's memory, here is the layout from Lee (at wdwmagic)

Joint venture a la hulk? (multi companies providing key elements vs just providing thematic and scene props)

And that layout confuses me. Anyone care to say whats going on in it?

To quote Whylightbulb, "This will make FJ look like Small World."

Much more intense interworking than Hulk

^Wasn't Premier only rumored due to how similar people think Gringotts would be compared to Mummy, which Premier did?

My hunch was that the RV rendering that was leaked look very Premierish.

Don't forget Teebin's incredible layout!! Still makes me laugh!

yeah... well I have secret info. Here is the real coaster.

 

[Swiminn6]

I feel like that track layout would make a really short ride!

 

[jarmor]

Where's the drop track! Where's the backwards section! I want my mummy part 2!!!

Again, both of you are looking at this as a coaster. Start thinking outside the box.

 

[jarmor]

I looked outside the box...All I saw was dirt and construction walls...but inside the box, I saw coaster track :rofl: ...

Seriously, im very curious about what is going on with this ride. I dont ever remember being as curious about a ride before, not even forbidden journey. I kinda forgot its more going on with this section as of lately...

 

[Hatetofly]

Here is our update from earlier today including the first ever shots of Gringotts coaster track INSTALLED!!!

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

HTF, how long will the ride be?

 

[Hatetofly]

HTF, how long will the ride be?

We're looking at something around 4 mins from dispatch to unload.

 

[maxairmike]

I'm having a hard time determining if that's Intamin track or not. The plastic is obscuring the view of where the vertical bars from the running rails connect to the center bar and other tell-tale signs it would be Intamin. The supports in the left corner of the first track piece picture look like the kind of support connections Intamin uses for flat two-rail track, but I'd really need a look either closer or without that darn plastic.

Thanks for the great update, HTF, I've not been this excited since I was watching Maverick be built!

Pretty good length compared to how short Mummy is.

 

[DisneyFanKevin]

Forgive me for being late to the party, but is Gringotts supposed to be another Mummy-style coaster or is it going to be geared as a family variant?

 

[Superior62]

Don't know if anyone else noticed or not but the local Orlando channel 6 news at 11:00 had a brief story about the track being installed. They even showed HateToFly's picture and gave credit to OrlandoUnited as well! They also eluded to the fact that the area will be Wizarding World Part2. I thought that was particularly interesting because I haven't heard any other local news source dare to say that before.

 

[Felipe]

HTF, you are the MAN! I see the the track!! I see it!! Nice catch! :happy:

Universal is blowing me away with all these new projects and improvements! And HP 2.0 has me the most excited! I cannot wait!!! :happy:
