Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[jtsalien]

I wouldn't hold my breath...

(That said, I would love any news from Universal Orlando, about literally any of their ongoing projects.)

Yeah I'm not at all confident about this weekend. Extremely confident we get some news on this before HHN though.

 

[SkiBum]

Yea, agreed. That’s just what I’d like to see happen this weekend.

And while we’re not that excited for Toy Story Land, there’s no denying that Disney is pushing it hard, and nationally even.

Just saw this at Publix tonight.

Hey!!! Two things. 1) Alicia, don't post TSL crap in the HP Coaster thread. I got all excited that you had something really cool to share with us only to be bitterly disappointed. 2) For her transgressions, Alicia must now rent a helicopter and obtain pictures of the current HP coaster status.

>:O

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Banked turns :drool:

Overbanked turns to boot

 

[tielo]

Yep, Disney markets anything new everywhere.

Yeah, I remember the opening of the Tangled toilets, I bought my tickets immediately after the great advertising and I still have an amazing photo doing a number one.
But magical memories aside, Universal still has a ton to announce before they are gone use the P word. I expect the T2 3D replacement announcement been dropped before the new theme park and Potter.

Universal has so many announcements backed up in the pipeline it's hillarious

They really need to do what they did years ago during the "year to be here" and announce a bunch of things at once

The argument that making announcements early puts people off visiting is clearly in effect here as Universal isn't offering anything this year to base a trip around. This coaster makes a trip worthwhile if you've been to the resort before.

TSL makes people want to visit and once they see the magnitude of what's going on next door with Star Wars, they'll be sure to return next year so we're looking at two different marketing approaches in work just now.

They have PTSD from the Potter days

What was that long ricketty bridge walkway called in the films?... they have part of it on display at the WB tour.

I don't believe it has a proper name. Just referred to as The Wooden Bridge as far I know. Unless you're referring to something else, of course.

Ha! Well that was simple.

Aerial updates from Bioreconstruct incoming!





Some of those curves look intense!

[Viator]

Just to add on from that, from Bio,

Seriously though. Those turns are insane for the supposed cart.

 

[Magic-Man]

Seriously, Bioreconstruct is the best

 

[ReelJustice]

I love this project more and more with each passing day

 

[shiekra38]

Any chance of softs this week?

 

[Steptwice]

If you notice, the switch in the drop track building is still curved, so there is still going to be a whole back section of that building added. That is where the actual straight drop track portion will take place

 

[GAcoaster]

The more I look at this the more concerned I become. This seems very complicated with track switches and other things that have been known to be problematic for Intamin in the past. I see a long process of getting this running properly and lots of downtime when it does open.

 

[LJGonz]

What was the supposed vehicle type for this ride? This coaster is starting to grow bigger and bigger with each element looking faster and more intense. I’m very excited.
