Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

It's funny how people can go on the same day around the same time and capture totally different things.

Case in point, HTF saw that 66B has gone vertical, and Amusement Pics got some very impressive shots of Kings Cross that magically grew and evolved from columns.

More great shots,

This project is really starting to take shape with more and more raising from the ground

Thanks for the update:thumbs:

Those pictures are really cool hatetofly!

Imagine if Spider-Man, The Mummy, and the FJ had an offspring.

If you think about FJ is basically the offspring of Spiderman and Mummy

Not really. There's not much about Mummy that is comparable to FJ. The ride system just isn't all that comparable.

However, Gringott's is supposedly using a coaster portion similar to Mummy and a motion base similar to Spiderman.

I meant it more like it's very rough-ish and in your face like Mummy is during the non coaster scenes. And really Gringotts was always going to be a coaster, but I'm glad they're also adding aspects of Mummy to it as well.

Well this is vague. We know that ride vehicles will be on a coaster style track. Has someone stated that the cars will be on a 6-point actuated gimbal? Will the actuated gimbal be on a 360 degree rotating platform? Will the ride be mostly horizontal with the cars being propelled by linear induction motors? Will any drop that takes place be using the Transformers elevator tech?

Let me know, if you know. :wave:

I was just stating what the rumors have pointed to. Unfortunately, I have no clue if the cars are using the same 6-point system that Spiderman is or if it's on a rotating platform. I was just more or less stating what HTF meant by his comment regarding that Gringott's would be a combination of Spiderman, Mummy and FJ.

^ Actually, I was just trying to shake-down HTF for more info. :wave:

Ok, thanks... removed that question but I repost the rest once again.

I have heard that there will be "sim" motion. But I am unclear if the actual ride vehicle will have it or the track will have it, (UniCreative did patent "sim" track). I do know that the track will have a lot of tech. Some used else where, some unique. There will also be a lot of effects. I will just say that they are throwing everything in the high tech arsenal at this beast.

This is the Rhosgobal Rabbits of theme park attractions. I'd like to see Disney try and keep up!

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

(UniCreative did patent "sim" track).

So a Test Track style ride then?

 

[Accio Butterbeer]

I believe that Mugglenet may have some of their facts crossed. I don't know for sure, but
I bet there is filming going on for BOTH attractions.

yeah i thought that too when i was reading it disneyhead..Im pretty sure there is going to be filming for Hogwarts Express and Gringotts..but it was really cool to hear about the queue for Hogwarts Express. That was the first time ive heard about it as far as the queue goes. Hopefully its true because it sounds amazing!

I really hope JK changes her "no Voldemort" policy. He is the "Darth Vader" of the HP franchise and it would be a shame if he didn't make an appearance even if it was just a cameo or something.

I honsestly feel like he should have been apart of the Forbidden Journey. It would've given the ride more of a story. Like he was so angry that muggles were allowed inside Hogwarts that he sent Dementors to suck our souls and then made an appearance at the end where Harry fights him. It would definitely clash with the stories and movies (simply because it doesn't happen) but it would've been awesome. Oh well, FJ is still my favorite ride.

Also, I remember in the books it said that Dementors weren't visible to Muggles. I think it was in the fifth book where Dementors attack Harry and his cousin when he's at the Dursley's. But yet we are able to see them in the ride.

I wouldn't mind if Voldemort was in the interactive game.

you could argue that Voldemort sent the Dementors to attack the muggles specifically.

also, since you're able to visit Hogwarts in the first place i think it's safe to say you can also see Dementors lol

I have always thought that the "screens" on the HE would be showing a bustling platform full of students and parents. I believe that Belllatrix is for Gringott's. And don't be surprised if a Molly Weasley Musion effect is in the King's Cross queue. Just a guess on my part. As I am just lowly fanboi.

some Harry Potter fans dont want to see him in any of the rides for some reasons. Not me though im a HUGGEE Potter fan and i agree i would like to see him somewhere in the attractions. Or i was thinking maybe they are saving him for a standalone attraction in the future or somewhere where you least expect him! Maybe possibly he is indeed in gringotts like the original artwork for the ride showed..
