image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg Just a few concept drawings I did a few years back. This would replace the whomping willow scene, and would kinda interfier with the dementors scene that also takes place in the chamber of secrets. (Begin chamber of secrets scene) You would find yourself in the small, round, and tunneled area of the chamber of secrets when, the car swings to the basilisk slithering through one of the tunnels and you catch a glimpse of its eye. Harry warns you not to look at it in the eye (a medley of "Fawkes is reborn" and "dueling the basilisk" is playing in the background) these are two songs that you can find in the Harry Potter chamber of secrets soundtrack. (Back to topic) after you fly off to get away from the basilisks deadly eyes, you come face to face with it, right in front of Salazar Slytherins statue. The basilisk swings it's head, rotates it's body, moves it's head, and lunges at you, as Harry directs you to the next scene. (Over) this is the idea I had. I think it's pretty good and fits way better than the badly spray painted whomping willow. The basilisk animatronic would look similar, if not identical to the one used in the actual movie which I will also put a picture of

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
I would like the basilisk to be true to its size ( that's around 60 ft)



I kinda lied when I said I hadn't thought about it too much. Tell is what you think

That would be a really cool addition, although construction would mean long down-time therefore making it not possible.

i found it. My idea would require a little more space tho, and also the basilisk wouldn't be coming out of the mouth. My idea was to lead up to the basilisk, and the track would do a U around the basilisk. IMO i like my idea better.

I mean the basilisk is dead. Unless Hogwarts has a huge basilisk infestation.

i was thinking about this, but then i remembered that the whole ride is about Harrys greatest adventures. Also, a basilisk was thought out by UC to be apart of the ride. Even though the idea was cut, since it was an idea that UC had, it would have had to make sense for them to even acknowledge it.

Hogsmeade takes place during Goblet of Fire. Basilisk dead, Dumbledore no.

Diagon Alley is clearly before the end of the 7th when Harry goes to Gringotts.

the whole basis of the ride is still about Harrys adventures. UC thought about putting a basilisk scene which means i had to have made sense. Why couldn't their have been a second basilisk ? its Harry who has to deal with it, not us.

I think your issue is with the lighting and not the tree. The tree looked fine in its original lighting.

if you look up pictures of the whomping willow without it being pitch black, it looks like the person just got a spray paint bottle and drew some lines on it.

Every dark ride looks terrible with the lights on. It doesn't mean anything as long as it looks like how it's meant to when everything is working like it should.

Yeah well it's not what they did. Maybe talk to your uncle that works at UC.
