Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Cedar point is the best bang for one's buck.

Cedar Point is a great park for coaster lovers, and there's lot's of coasters for the admission price. However, for those that don't ride coasters, the park is just another park, nothing special.

I am aware...

My bad. Must've misread your post.

I watched the video posted by @AliciaStella , this sounds really great! The lack of Dragon Challenge in the park leaves a big void this year. But next year and the year after with the JP coaster, IOA is going to be without a doubt best theme park on the planet (if it’s not already, which I think it is)

In Orlando, yes. But I agree that Disneyland is still best anywhere.

Orlando is Magic Kingdom for me :look:

This could change to whatever park has Nintendo, though.

Yes, the inferior Disneyland is up there as well. :ears:

I’ve never been to Disneyland so I can’t say it is or isn’t. But with it adding Star Wars, I think you can make a case. Really want to go there one day

The one thing that doesn’t make IOA the clear runaway favorite is probably the water rides. I only come down in the summer so it’s always a good time for them. But I can’t imagine what it’s like in the colder months. That’s a good chunk of the park that would have to be skipped over

To keep this on topic, I feel like this will finally make Hogsmeade a complete area. It always didn’t feel right with it just having Dueling Dragons renamed. Now it’ll finally have its own unique attraction. I loved the ride but I feel like this was a long time coming

Ehh, I love IOA, but it still needs more indoor, relaxing rides before it can be considered world’s best. And a full nighttime show would help too.

Just wait for Zelda. It should help things quite a bit when it comes to that regard.

I'm really happy with the whole loading and two drop tracks thingies. I salute a theme park that takes their guest experience serious. I have the feeling Disney is building photo genetic rides that purposely have low capacity to up sell "solutions" instead of investing in high capacity rides.

Almost all forthcoming Disney rides have similar duplications (or quadrupled). Only major exception is Slinky, but really the other 8 have dual loads, elevators, show scenes, etc.

The problem is in the Orlando market sometimes duplication isn't enough. Occasionally quadrupled isn't even enough.

Gatorland is the best, end of story.

I had a ball the last time I went. The zipline trail is fun.

Ok guys, really, back on topic. This is the second time I've had to recently mention it. If you wish to discuss more direct comparisons of Disney and Universal then start a new thread. Please keep this to the Potter coaster.

Bio put up some really nice aerials of the coaster. Fair amount of track has been added and starting to see the layout as described by Alicia..

Never mind. I'm a day late on posting this. Still, the aerials really show the beginnings of an interesting layout. The last brake run is fairly elevated as well.

 

[glocon]

Has anyone mentioned what the ride capacity may be? I’ve only looked at the last few pages which got me wondering what the guest turnover would be?

 

[orlandoiloveyou]

I'm not going to even pretend to know anything about construction but it does seem like the drop building had a foundation before the supports and track went in, the first circle building has no foundation yet. How do they go about building that?

Just a tidbit, but the general public seems to be very interested about this ride. Alicia’s video is nearing almost 100k views on YouTube. Wow!
