Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Parkscope Joe]

You know an incredible updated inside queue (hopefully with some creature AA figures) and an exciting well themed outside coaster would be a great addition to Hogsmeade. AAs or not, the lack of theming for Dragon Challenge was kinda bringing the area down.

This is what I’m expecting too.

 

[Imperius]

There will be AAs though. I just don't think it'll be like replacing all the cutouts and screens in Mummy with figures

Yeah hoping so. Just know the issue with the JP AAs and weather and these will be far more advanced hopefully.

That has to do with the types of figures used, and that fact that a lot of the tech uses for JP isn't designed to be operated outside or underwater anyway. Universal has come a long way since then

 

[Imperius]

Hoping so. I need Gwarp and centaurs.

I just can't see a world where this gets too tall. Even a tall show building there would be hard to fully theme as a forest.

I'm also curious if this will beat Guardians' at Epcot's claim of being the world's longest enclosed coaster.

If they plant enough trees, they can hide pretty much anything, even if they have to build a hill up the side of the show building. It might actually add some varying heights of terrain, something that Orlando has a distinct lack of.

Purely Blue Sky, but it'd be awesome to have a section with centaurs running around next to the car like the figures do on Radiator Springs in Carsland.

I know it's CG out a "window," but we do have exactly that on the Hogwart's Express.

Yeah. Lame. I want the real thing

It's a lot easier to do that with Cars than with things on 4 legs.

True, but Disney does a pretty good job creating the illusion of running with this guy, just hide the legs with bushes:

Universal is supposed to build things 4 times quicker, cheaper, and better so I fail to see your point :ears:

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. I like that effect, but it’s really short, and doesn’t go to the “following alongside” route like RSRs does.

 

[Alicia]

It's all moot, because we all know unicorns in the forest are way cooler than centaurs anyway.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Hearing we’ve gone vertical.

 

[Scott W.]

:clap:

 

[devinp267]

If this is lie :box:

The last aerial was right at a month ago and there were no signs of footers being poured. Even if they started digging them the next day, 30 days isn't enough cure time to start hanging steel. I'm thinking this is going to be like when we heard there were footers and Supports on site. Someone is confusing whats going on. With all the cranes and piledriving going on, it wouldn't be hard to do.

Well I know Joe wouldn't be reporting a rumor on here so idk it may be?

I report rumors all the time. Hey the dude who I said he saw stuff might not know what he’s seeing. Or maybe another part of it went vertical. I don’t know.

Massive two cranes in HP area!?
