Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

There’s still a pretty lengthy stint to the end from what is the fastest launch after the drop track too, don’t forget.

Good point!

I found Intamin’s reference list on their website today, which has all of their projects on it.

The very right column is year of contract. All of the highlighted ones could possibly be for IoA. I’m leaning against the LSM launch coasters since those usually have 2 rows per car, making 7 rows very unlikely, unless they get rid of one row for a themed front element.

For reference, here’s Gringotts.

Year of contract is 2012 and it opened in 2014.

Guessing it's "Family Launch Coaster" from 2016, as the original time of the rumor popping up was in the middle of the year.

On the queue end of things, I imagine some are going to be pleased with a bit of return to form of the creepy dark dankness with some touches.
Those tents within are going going gone.

Not knowing how Intamin defined their thrill levels, I could see "LSM Launched Coaster". Unless people are 100% certain that it will only use drive tires.

Fairly certain drive tires. 100% sure you'll see "family" sprinkled all over the marketing on this one.

They're going to market it as UOR's Everest, except not a boring layout and working AAs. *rim shot*

It’s quite a sharp turn out the station. Pacing is key to this coaster and from what @AliciaStella says, it sounds like Universal are getting very creative with it.


That makes sense and would explain a lot of the confusion about the vehicle. It would be very easy to have a standard train with a big bike facade on one side and a smaller side car facade on the other especially if you’re entering and exiting on the same side (Most likely the lower side car side)

You’ll be exiting and entering to the left of the vehicle so this checks out as well.

It would be amazing if in the load station a Hagrid AA -- on his motorbike -- connected to the first (side)car of a train of sidecars.

He would beckon you to hurry up and load and then the train with Hagrid would leave the station.

Then the Hagrid AA/motorbike would meet up with an empty train after unload and the next folks in line would see him drive in with the empty sidecars.

Never going to happen, but a guy can dream.

Also, my first post in this thread! I'm a long-time lurker.

Almost like how Mater works at Radiator Springs Racers.

Well played, sir. Well played.

Poor Disco Yeti, the Kim Kardashian of AAs.

...Because it’s famous for not doing anything?

 

[Galaxy Defender]

...Because it’s famous for not doing anything?

Precisely. And neither gets much respect in the process.

 

[hishedale]

...Because it’s famous for not doing anything?

No, because of its assets. That Yeti has a nice posterior.

 

[Mad Dog]

Kim's posterior is the size of Everest.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Ok guys back on topic and keep it respectful.

 

[Mike S]

Yeah guys, respect the Yeti. The comparison to uke: was uncalled for


Ok I’m done.

That’s fascinating. Does Disney market Everest as a family ride? I always thought they wanted Everest to be seen as a thrill ride, which is both strange and not what Universal wants?

I thought at first they did, but over the years, Disney went more on family thrill than "thrill coaster". Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought that's what Disney is marketing Everest as of now.
