Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

Looks like a tech demo for the various track switches we could see in Gringotts, but is not the layout for the ride.

Yeah I was wondering if Gringotts was going to have corkscrews like that. I wish

Nope. Nor should it.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!
Okay, so the last time I have been on the thread was Feb, 2013. I have been MIA trying to live me life. ANY-WHO!!! Can someone catch me up on the Harry Potter Expansion. Last thing I remember is The Mayor of Florida accidentally announced that Universal Is planning to have a huge announcement come next year. You can Direct Message Me, if you want. Just to keep the thread from going - OT to much.

Going to cross post this, found by Yeti over on WDW Magic. Colour me excited!

I love the ideas in that video. They look just like what has been hinted for sure!

 

[UNIrd]

Holy track switches! That would be awesome.

 

[NikkiS]

Very good find yeti. Thumbs up.

Looks like you have alot to catch up on....i would start reading!!

Well a ride that is true to the film could theoretically use a corkscrew type maneuver or track layout. But the actual ride SHOULD be ridable for a much larger demographic that a corkscrewing ride would allow, so yes.

Agreed. And I am happy to sacrifice a bit of kinetic 'thrill' aspect so that we get more dark ride show scenes.

This is exactly how you need to approach this attraction

Hello all! New here, just posted on WDWmagic about this and thought I'd duplicate-- I came across this while sniffing around on the Dynamic Attractions Youtube page:

EDIT: Whoops, looks like you're all one step ahead of me on this one!

Thanks Yeti! It was a great find :thumbs:

If Gringotts is anything close to this, wow....just wow.

Has anyone else heard of this place? http://www.whimsicalley.com/ They have a Great hall and everything. Very Cool!

Wow surprised they haven't got a court case against them yet lol.

So is Gringotts getting a real fire effect then?

Only I was under the impression these were a no no under the "green is universal" policy... Hence why we got the inferior smoke and a light effect in transformers instead of real fire....

I'll be pleased if we get real fire but also pissed TF didn't... Green is universal unless JK says so!

 

[Teebin]

So is Gringotts getting a real fire effect then?

I would 100% doubt it. They have been very consistent since Mummy in not using real fire/propane/LNG.

 

[Ash]

Isn't there a patent going around for a fire effect?

 

[floridakid]

So there's a rather large crane in place next to the trains that wasn't there a few days ago, also saw some guys working on the doors of the trains and got a teensy little look inside but all I could see was another door. A sexy door it was, though! Hopefully these trains get put on the track soon.

Does anyone know if there's security by the trains 24/7 or just during the day?

Earlier today I had a request for a shot showing a particular phase of construction. Sorry, but this is the clearest shot I have.
