Ill be happy if we get a real loud train horn and big trail of smoke like at MK. I enjoy hearing that while at the park
^ The three service entrances, Mummy, Beetle, and Disaster are the only locations I can imagine seeing it from. I hope they have a fix for that.
I really don't see the problem with anything Universal is doing. Call me crazy but all I see is great things coming to both parks. Most of the attractions being visible adds to it for me.

Random thought just occurred to me, I honestly cannot remember if this has been addressed... So since the train is not actually doing a circuit but just has a switch track, you have to travel backwards at some point. Are the seats opposing (ie like the train compartment)? Do you not actually see the engine (probably hogs mead) at one end as to maintain the illusion you are still traveling forwards when boarding?
that's what I was referring to

we know you don't. However, this is a discussion board, if we were all here loving everything and not questioning anything then this would become a pretty boring place lol. I'm not complaining, just pointing out how it'll most likely be visible. Sounds like the train is fully-themed so it'll actually be pretty cool looking. No worries.

By that same reasoning, it would make sense that the coal car at the back of the train will also be obscured at Hogsmeade station (by walls or, perhaps, another small tunnel). This way, passengers will be unaware the train is faced the wrong way at Hogsmeade station.
After my request and satisfaction yesterday, I must say that the backstage track engineering seems to defy physics. It will amount to 1 1/2 trains being cantilevered over the service road! The first thing that came to mind is the Yeti's problems... :blank:
The coal tender is at the back of the engine: HS --> Engine - Coal Tender - Passenger Car - Passenger Car - Passenger Car <-- KCS
Also, how in the world are people going to exit the ride now? Are people from both domes going to be directed to the other side exits?

I thought the same thing Teebs, that's a lot of over hang.
