Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Verbolten is a different manufacturer, so I imagine this one will be (at least somewhat) different.

I don’t think it will be very tall though. It’s about the surprise of the sudden drop, less about the length of the thrill.

A sudden drop is a sudden drop haha

One think I'm a bit worried for is how well they'll be able to make the transition from the drop track to the final launch. Thirteen goes directly from the drop to the launch and that works very well, but this has to go through the track switch which might cause a bit of a dead spot if they don't hide it well.

Riders won’t notice there’s a track switch. It’ll just seem like one path to us. It only switches between trains, after we pass; A/B style.

You’ll be going through the first track switch backwards so I don’t think you’ll notice and you’ll be launching out the building and you’ll be past the track switch before you know it.

Theoretically, it can't launch until after it clears the switch track unlike Thirteen and Verbolten. At least not at full speed, you would hit the turn on the switch to hard. So it would be drop-> awkward slow bit-> launch. There may be a clever way around that issue, however.

Just needed some info to make sure this whole ride is accurate and exact. I made the this first section a slanted steady speed section.


I didn’t know how many drive tires there were in this section so I just put three, with the third set of tires being the launch out of the hut. I didnt know what speed the car would go in this section, so I thought 5 -6 mph was a good guess??


I don’t know if the launch sections was really fast or even in this part but I chose to make it 14mph and before the right turn. Another thing, I don’t know if drive tires should be on a slanted piece of track but it’s how this worked best.
I didn’t know how big the drop was or even if there was a significant dip before the second launch but the track before the hut section is at higher level than the second major launch. I made the dip around 3ft. Anyone know if there even is a dip?


If anyone thinks or even knows this section is wrong please lmk and if you could give some insight on speed or accuracy that would be amazing.

I could be wrong but I think the left turn through the hut is completely flat, and banking doesn't start until the right turn, and there is no dip from what I can tell from the aerials. I think you could make the turns a bit tighter, and as for speeds, I just threw in some random values (around 5-8mph) since we have no real way of knowing until the ride opens.

You do launch out of the hut on the right turnt, and that’s why it banks during that section right ?

I think it'll speed up a bit as you're still turning left like a mini launch

Sorry about all the questions (last one) I had never seen anything about the hill over the end brake run. How did u figure that one out?

That was just a guess I made based on a few supports and footers.

wow some real dedication here. Where is my Slinky Dog Simulation?

I think there is a leaked POV somewhere haha

 

[gabe3235]

Quick POV of my current progress

 

[gabe3235]

3 tube is being installed.

Looks pretty accurate 2 me so far

Damn. What are we supposed to be doing in there?

 

[Teebin]

So the 3-tube suggests more speed and/or torque and is therefore more substantial?

Probably more force applied towards the track yea.

but then again Slinky coaster is 3 tubed the whole way

I guess Slink put on a few lbs since the last film.
