Ok, sorry, google track switches and you can see them in action

I think I wondered past this area not long after @JoeCamel was there, so nothing new I imagine, just different views

Nice! I sometimes wish I had a real camera but kudos for carrying it to the parks

I haven't been on the computer recently until now to check out some of the details in these new pictures. The 2 right cones point out a bunch of rockwork that I couldn't notice from the phone. The left two look like they're continuing this building and continuing the tall wall all the way back to the queue building. You won't even be able to see any other track than what is right in front of you by the time they're done with all of this themeing

Still doesn't embed... here's a direct link

That is so flawless!

I’m not sure why so many people are assuming any of these buildings are ones we’ve seen or mentioned before. Jo and WB can approve expanded areas not yet expanded on in the films or books. Carkitt Market was never seen in the films, nor mentioned in the novels. The Three Broomsticks was designed for Universal before it was ever seen on screen.

looks like it could be

I dont know if this was speculated yet..

I noticed the stonework on the load building yesterday, so exciting.

The cone on far left is pointing at an area that as far as I know will be rockwork, and probably/hopefully some character or creature we see right before turning back into unload, like one last goodbye moment. So, like a cavern-like area where those slanted steel beams are, and then rockwork would continue to right, lining the queue area running all the way to the opening in building, and blocking some of this track from the people waiting in line.

God! This coaster looks beyond magnificent. I’m just stunned.

Here, just got a chance to upload to Twitter instead:

Bio mentioned screens in a long piece of covered track. Could that be the part of the vertical stop? I could see dementors chase you and take over and sucking your soul out of you but loose grip and the riders drop backwards. That would give them space to redo the dementors part in Hogwarts that never worked that well into a different scene.

Maybe it's because I'm missing the rest of the ride, but it doesn't seem that the track switch does anything here. Is it necessary for it to switch because the train is coming in backwards?

Yes. It comes in backwards from the break run than launches back out forwards onto a different section.

Oh now I see it! I thought they were coming in on that same track on the right hand side of the frame but now I see they're coming in on an angle from somewhere else.

I don't know if dementors would fit with the other beasts we're seeing in the ride: Fluffy, fairies, Devil's Snare, skrewt... They're all "true neutral" creatures. Dementors are always presented as pretty lawful evil.

Yea, I think he was just riffing on what types of experiences *could* be in there.

I'm still not convinced you'll be held on the vertical section of track. There's nothing built into the ride mechanics that would indicate that. Looks more like you will stop on level ground (while the transfer track switches), launch up into the spike and then free fall back down into the reverse launch. Intamin has done this maneuver on other coasters so I'm going to bet that this will be the sequence.
