Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Teebin]

Do we know what full speed is yet?

I absolutely do not know, but I would think it will be right around 15mph. Any employees on here that want to do a fast jog backstage from the north to the south station and time it?

Some pics that arrived in my mailbox, courtesy of NikkiS.

 

[Teebin]

Are those cameras on top of the Gring show building? If so, perhaps corporate construction cams, like the one over frozen desserts a few years back?

Too, I count 10 individual AC ducts going into the building, and, what appears to be a nitro tank, a very large nitro tank (perhaps only half the size of Terminator's tank). Weeeeeeee!

 

[NikkiS]

Thank you Briman for posting those for me. I tried to get more photos with better detail but I didn't have my good camera on me.

Do we know what full speed is yet?

I would guess around 7 mph. It's a pretty short trip, but the ride time should probably be around 3-4 minutes. I'd think it's definitely not more than 10.

 

[Teebin]

Does anyone here know if there are motion effects built into the car bases? Can they convey old tracks and motion when or when not moving? Anyone?, Bueller?, Bueller?, Bueller? ...

I could be wrong but I don't believe so.

Knowing you, you probably think they are Bobwadd cams with tomahawk missile attachments. :sneaky:

I'm not the only one on this forum that was/is being watched. :shifty: Not paranoid, just cautious.

Roughly 5MPH

Lot of plumbing in this one...

Thanks for the Update Nikki!!

Around 5MPH

:nunchucks:

 

[Teebin]

5mph... hmmm.. that will look so silly from onstage. From DC alone ones will wonder if the train(s) has a flat tire. (harsh joke intended)

 

[UNIrd]

The slower, the better. Means the ride is longer.

 

[PourJudgment]

According to google map calculations, the track length is .4 miles. 8 minutes to walk at an average pace. If traveling at exactly 5mph the ride would be around 5 minutes. I'll give Google a few yards to be off so maybe 4 and a half minutes to 5 and a half. Has the ride length, in actual traveling time and not total experience, already be established?

Do 6PH with a sub 6 min cycle time

 

[USO92]

This train be chuggin!

 

[PourJudgment]

Hmmm, that puts it closer to 4 minutes flat of actual travel time

 

[turlte]

What's the official Gringotts attraction name? HateToFly?

 

[rhino4evr]

4 mins sounds about right for something like this. Do we have any idea the capacity levels on this yet? How many people will it move, and how often?

 

[bobwadd]

How many people will it move, and how often?

If I remember correctly each train will seat 168 people.

 

[TheLastAshen]

Maybe this makes sense to most people but 3 train cars with seating on one side of the car compartmentalized into cubbies that hold 4 people each like the films.... that doesn't sound like the Hogwarts express will cary a lot to me. Just sayin.
