Could there possibly be a second helix in the backwards section? A lot of it is currently straight track.
Not based on Alicia's description.

Why can't we be the one's pursuing?
As soneone once said, "what's the fun in that".
Maybe the building by the train station that Alicia had as question marks in the track description is actually a helix?Heres an updated version. I went ahead and added the buildings and the show scene control boxes. I'm sure the layout still isn't right. I keep having trouble figuring out how to have 5 crossovers without doing the Figure 8. This has 4 and any other way I come up with adds 2 more to make 6 total. Any hints you can give? lol
Further, no one seems to have picked up on something else shown in those site plans, the two support buildings I mentioned that would likely be for outdoor effects controls or outside figures, marked below in pink. They've been there the whole time, staring everyone in the face!

A part of it may not be show scene, just support stuff like control room or power supply or something.
Probably more cool outdoor stuff too. Just forgot to highlight them.What about EER 1 and EER 4 on the left side?
And sorry for the incompetence here- but where are we starting the ride at on this map?
We start by exiting the south part of the castle (where Ice ended).What about EER 1 and EER 4 on the left side?

Do we know what the hexagons are on that map? Trees?
And if we're riding in an Anglia- how could the Anglia be next to us on EER 1? My head hurts.
Gotta be cart pulled by thestrals, right?

I don't think the ride vehicle is going to be anything famous from the books/movies, but that's just a guess.
Don't forget, we don't actually have confirmation on a backwards element... The ride could theoretically have turntables hidden in the buildings, so we're always shooting out going forward. Backwards would be my bet, but you never know, ya' know!So then I think Thestral- but going backwards with Thestral doesn't make much sense either. Unless were in a cart, our reigns get broken (i.e.- something goes wrong)- and then the thestrals come in to save us at the last moment.
I didn't actually realize that whole area was water.EER 1 is not Ford Anglia. It'll be on the other side of the track. It may be its support building with controls/power shed/etc. The support buildings may not be exactly where the effects they control are, just nearby.
EDIT: Yes the hexagons are the new water shape.
Have you listened to my description on the podcast? That's some of the concepts mentioned.I didn't actually realize that whole area was water.
I guess it "could" still be Snatcher Chase into the Battle of Hogwarts (large show building as Malfoy Manor at the Shell Cottage on the beach. With it being a lake, Tri-Wizard Trials makes a lot more sense (and back to speculated story way back when).
Initial Launch - Dragon Trial (EER 4 control crowds affect)
SB 1 - Dragon (Turntable to forward launch)
SB 2 - Dive into Black Lake (Turntable around with Mermaid/Grindylows). Launch
Bulk of Coaster - Hedgemaze
SB 3 - The actual Cup (maybe we see Harry/Cedric disappear when they grab it, but we don't go with them).
I'm calling Tri-Wizard Trials.

Thanks for all your work with this, really helps me see what is being discussed.Heres an updated version. I went ahead and added the buildings and the show scene control boxes.

What's a podcast? (I rarely listen to them, and when I do it's mostly soccer-focused).Have you listened to my description on the podcast? That's some of the concepts mentioned.
I'm telling you, with that exterior queue and entrance remaining much the same, it most certainly could be Tri-Wizard Cup again.
Of course, the ride will also feature hundreds of trees, so Forest makes sense too. :shrug:
