Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

I wonder if Robbie Coltrane will get a cut of them using his likeness?

That’s an interesting point. I’d imagine things like this are in their contracts for the movies. If he provides the voice, I’m sure he’ll get a cut. Did he do the scenes for Hogwarts Express?

What if instead of being a drop track, the track goes up fast? Leviosa!

I hope not. Stomach in your throat is a better feeling than your stomach in your arse.

The only stops are the switch to backwards and the drop track right?

the more appropriate term would have been pacing

 

[ReelJustice]

Robbie Coltrane is a cool dude and will show up and do it for a pint.

So if Fluffy is at the oval right before the backwards spike, is he inside or outside (cause we enter a cave for the spike)?

Outside. With rockwork hiding him from view.

 

[Andysol]

Outside. With rockwork hiding him from view.

Damn- was hoping inside. A safe assumption that he won’t be as complex as something like Kong, unfortunately.
Maybe something more in line with JP. Still cool, but was hoping for 3 headed Kong.

If Fluffy is outside and not even under some type of canopy that definitely speaks to where our expectations should sit for the AA..

but at least we know Fluffy will be fitted with water sprayers of course

I get the feeling we know the Life Formations AA already, but don't want to acknowledge that it's Fluffy (and yes, they are involved, as per permits).

3 indoor scenes, so probably 3 stops, unless one of them is just slow moving?

I’m guessing their previous work is Buckbeak.

Nope, but they did lend a hand in some of the static figures for PiB from Singapore (and to Spaghetti Space Chase from same location).

I’m not hyped for Fluffy anymore. They basically makes statues.

I’m guessing the sheer size of Fluffy will be impressive. It will definitely be limited movement, similar to Flight of the Hippogriff’s figure. When it’s outside, there’s not much you can do I guess.

It helps that I think we will be moving past it, (albeit slowly,) and not stopping, similar to Hippogriff. So intricate motion would be lost anyway. I’m still excited to see a memorable creature brought to life though.

It has to be a slow pass, we don't want to rile the sweet thing with sudden movements

Buckbeak is great for an outdoor AA. Anything close to that is good enough for me

 

[Blaw923]

Excited for Fluffy AA........gets Fluffy on a screen with mist squirting slobber :thud:

What they do looks less than Buckbeak though.

It looks pretty good though.

Except it...won't be a screen?

I would not be looking at Puss in Boots for inspiration on this ride. Totally different in scale/intent

Couple things...

Check the permits again....Life Formations may not be the only figure game in town on this one.

And I think it's wrong to assume Fluffy was going to be the "Kong" of this one. It's natural to assume cuz of his size, but ride placement means the more complex figures will be in other spots.

No stops. Slow moving from friction wheels.
