Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Is the thinking that this ride will be open next summer?

Yep, Universal said it’ll open Summer 2019.

Edit: Whoops, I was a bit late

Then I’m thinking we’ll upgrade our tickets to ap’s this August!

Catching up with all the info, this is looking to be a very fun coaster.
I also didn't realize they're incorporating two drop tracks, a very smart move since it not only boosts the capacity, but the whole attraction won't be gimped if one of the drop tracks runs into technical issues.

Mission accomplished!
Mee too - this secured my renewal.

This might make me get a new annual pass.

Multiplier effect.....I wonder how many will get new AP's, or renew, once the word gets out.....................Anyone know if there was a dip in AP's last year. It seems like Universal TM's were extra extra nice in comments on thanking us for being AP holders every time we came through the gates this past vacation. Must be a company extra emphasis on thanking AP's.

There is a lot of "I'm not renewing my AP" on the Facebook group....I'm not sure if that is measurable or not

I'll PM Matt Korn

What was the most common reason for such declarations?

It started with Fallon, and after F&F, its become much louder

I keep reminding myself that people on the page aren't as informed as we are about what's to come

And most are the worst.

Yes, that Facebook group seems to be a pretty mean spirited, largely negative, group as a whole. I've not seen much positive posting over there.

Fecebook comments have become the new Youtube comments. Its nothing but nasty people saying nasty things.

That wasn’t a bad video.

Alicia's insider info, drawings & renderings seem to have created a cottage industry of videos.

I like that he’s gonna keep updating it as we get more construction updates. His description says he’s gonna add more banking next time, now that we’re seeing track installed.

Not so sure about those spiders of course, but it’s fun to see how the ride may look like this.

Yea, he says my article was a big help, but hadn’t yet watched my video.

I hope it's faster than what is shown. Just feels like a gringotts 2.0 with all of the stop and go sections.

I thought you said it was going into a cave...That seems more like a well themed building at 2:05
