Ok... hadn't thought of the choo choo effects being time-of-day specific. Will it be weather specific too? That would be interesting.

Yes. According to my sources, this special ride program will involve a wizard played by Bill Paxton.

It'd be just like the windows in the Ministry of Magic!
I don't think they'd go that far, but it would be great to at least coincide with the time of day so it is a seamless experience :thumbs:

:rofl:

 

[Spideyfreak]

Actually rethinking this, it could be fairly easy to implement four different shows: Morning, afternoon, evening, and rain.

Food for thought.

 

[Felipe]

If you ask me, all the shows should have rain, or at least one whole side should. What better than some ominous clouds and rain, and a few dementors :sneaky:

Oh! And how cool would it be if they had an AA dementor glide by the train's hallway? :died:

:died: :died: That would be so intense.

I feel like that will be a projection effect, as hiding a proper AA like that requires a decent bit of space.

 

[AK-Jake]

Not quite sure how they'd pull it off, but yes, that would be AMAZING!!! I'm still curious if the whole "sweets trolley" aboard the train rumor was dispelled or not. I don't recall reading anything about that being true or not.

Not happening. Too much hassle, too little time for it. :thumbs:

Yes that will be during the twister segment of the ride

I'd be concerned that NOT using an AA will make it unrealistic. At close-quarters, I doubt a projection effect will be nearly as effective as an AA would. In fact, I could see a projection effect being a bit cheesy and non-believable. I would love to be proven wrong.

http://twitter.com/OrlandoInformer/status/319510895392874496/photo/1. This is from the Orlando informer twitter. He said "do see the entrance to the gringotts bank attraction through the London facades.... You be the judge

 

[Hatetofly]

FYI,

You will not enter the actual attraction there. It will be off to the right of the massive Gringotts facade. Think teller windows

Is this side gonna be the exit, or basically just a photo-op?

Photo-op. it looked to be solid concrete when they were forming it. (No hole in rebar)

 

[Jymmymack]

Yes. According to my sources, this special ride program will involve a wizard played by Bill Paxton.

Do I need to post the video again?

 

[TheLastAshen]

HA! Which must explain why the bank entrance facade was so far from the actual ride building in the arial photos! FAKE!!!! Got it.

Cool :thumbs:

Because there is a good bit of space between this theming element and the showbuilding currently standing, maybe there's gonna be some part of the queue held there?

 

[aheying7]

So what do we think they'll call this Gringotts ride?
