Is it rude to wish this new ride is one giant ugly ass show building with neon green tracks coming in and out of it, just so Mike S can be sad about his "sight lines"?

I'm working on a new video and wanted to get everyone's thoughts one more time. See if anyone's opinions have changed in the last few weeks.

What type of ride system do you think they'll be using for this ride?

A. Inverted Powered Coaster (Like Arthur)
B. Dynamic SFX Coaster (Example)
C. Hagrid's Sidecar Mortorbike style coaster
D. Universal's entirely original design
E. None of the Above (Explain)
Click to expand...

I'm starting to lean towards something like choice D. Dynamic has been far too active on twitter about the project, making me think it's not an SFX coaster. I don't think the motorbike coaster lends itself to the level of theming they're allegedly going for. Inverted Power coaster also doesn't seem like a choice for this one.

My guess is Uni and a coaster company end up working together to put out something new.

Most certainly C, I'd suspect with a healthy dose of animatronics.

I just don't see how a Motorbike coaster can work for show scenes and the like, which is why I can't see it being the rid system here

I'm starting to get iffy on it myself... Would look totally weird to see a line of them all in a row at load too.

Right. IMO it just doesn't fit with the WWOHP MO up until this point. There's only one flying motorbike in the fiction. Having everyone board a big old line of them just doesn't seem like something JKR would go for

They're a theme park, not Six Flags. It's about time one of their premier areas fully looked the part.

I don't want to get into this very far, but there are plenty of theme parks with exposed steel. There's nothing wrong with it.

When it fits the environment, sure. Hulk fits Marvel like a glove due to the industrial look of the area.

Dragon Challenge fit Hogsmeade like a loud rock band at a funeral.

I think we will be riding spiders and centaurs that will have big poles through them that we hang on to while we go up and down and up and down through the Forbidden Forest. Put that in your video Alicia.

That's the impression I'm starting to get from Dynamic. Any time Universal make an announcement, they seem to pounce on it. It's actually kind of clever as you have people like us jumping on that bandwagon saying how good it could be and they go to Universal with the feedback.

Doesn't really matter since the ultimate decider of what fits the environment of Hogsmeade would be J.K. Rowling and since the whole rumor of DC's removal is that she never liked it and always wanted it eventually removed...

Like the rumor that she stormed out of Disney and went straight to Universal.
