Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[anihilnation]

Was there yesterday, lots of suits walking around, and people with a visitor badge with them.

 

[Teebin]

Alan G. & Co. onsite this morning.

What does the G stand for? I cannot find when searching.

Alan Gilmore. Art director on the Potter films and lands.

Goodness, is he still around? This has become a little industry for him.

 

[Disneyhead]

That is a LOT of room for more Potter. Especially if they are building even more Potter at USF.

What in the Potter Universe could they possibly replace Mythos with? The Great Hall would make no sense in that location. And what about Poseidon's AND Sindbad's? In addition to the 8 acres where Dragons is.

What is the chance of one project number/set of permits covering 2 IPs if they were building things simultaneously? They could sneak something in under the radar that way. Just a thought.

How about some How To Train Your Dragon in lost continent?

:shrug:

It's just....that is suspiciously huge chunk of land. Big enough for 4 E Tickets and more F&B/Merch.

Wait, why are we talking about Lost Continent?

The area inside the black outline is the permitted project 942 construction zone.

Thanks @Magistra for the image.

When it was posted people were talking about an out and back hyper running down Turkey Lake. I believe it is more likely a new sound barrier.

That's not the construction zone. That's the impermeable ground surface area in which the construction is happening. It's the area of land serviced by the Dragons retention pond

 

[NJBrandon]

Project 942 also deals with relocating some trailers to behind Seuss Landing.

I thought that it was indicating the area of the barrier that construction would be impacting. Not simply a map of the entire basin emptying into the dragons pond.

Nah. It's just the outline of the water basin for the Dragons retention pond

I Can't see that damned overhead of DC without my mind blowing up. If they don't put in the Great Hall, they're beyond dumb. There, I said it

Say it with me:

Zel-da

 

[Teebin]

Gosh, Disneyhead's and NJBrandon's pictures aren't showing up for me at all. Just says IMG.

Lots they could do. Just a quick thought- you're in a thestral carriage on a nice little tour of all physical sets. Get to a screen- Hagrid tells you xyz is coming and you need to get out immediately and the thestrals are spooked and won't go any further. All done on a screen scene- he takes them off the carriages, grawp comes and ties a long rope to it to drag you out of there and as he goes off screen pulling the rope he starts dragging your around super fast. All physical sets with some screens mixed in background so you can see the occasional grawp hand pulling or foot running, etc.


That's just an off the cuff idea from someone who doesn't create rides- I mean, it could literally be anything. . In JK/UC we trust.

Oh I agree that it could be anything, my point is that it's going to have to be something they make up, because there's nothing in the existing canon that really fits. I'm definitely excited about it though, and expect it to be great.

Hogsmeade Ent. & (potentially) R&S.

Random, but Andysol I really like your idea for having Grawp/a giant creature AA during the "faster" portions of this ride. When going fast, the larger the AA the more it sticks out and the less UC would need to articulate it's movements. IDK, something about having a huge AA thrills and chills me.

Does anyone think that JK will create any new characters for this ride so UC can practice their AA game pre-Nintendo?
