Yeah, it's supposed to be a family coaster.

My only hopes for it over Orlando and Japan is ours be a bit longer in length...but I doubt it'll happen.

If our park gets a coaster with an inversion, it'll be an indoor attraction.

Not going to happen unless its a rolling maneuver rather than a loop.

I would be more afraid of the Mummy coaster being kept and just rethemed over a new coaster coming any day.

I can definitely see them cheaping out and just retheming the Mummy eventually.

The theme of the Mummy and the concept is fantastic. It's just painfully short and has crappy effects that I wouldn't even call effects...

ANYWAY, with Potter though, it would've been cool if we would've gotten the proposed Dark Forest coaster. Problem with any large coaster, looping or not, is space space space...

Epiphany: They could have made the ride vehicles for the Dark Forest themed to Thestrals. I'm geeking out right now.

Ohhhh wow, that would be so cool and perfect...

Eh....actually, never mind. I wouldn't want it to be a thestral. That would make it seem that every park visitor has witnessed death...no thanks. Hahaha. Cool but...you know...not positive haha.

About 50% of guests would know what Thestrals even are, so I don't care.

Curious what they're going to do with the extra space below the show building, that's no small space...

I'm guessing they could use the space for storage or maintenance. The Simpsons Ride building is a good example at what Universal does with the extra clearance.

Oh you meant directory under. Yeah, probably maintenance and storage. The space under Simpsons is HUGE.

Wow.

Despite my obvious attachment to it, I always deeply knew Transformers was "Spidey-lite". Anyone who has been on that ride with lights on (especially on the upper ride track level) knows that it's largely a dusty concrete catacomb with very light theming, lots of lighting rigs and screens. When you enter the subway construction scene after exiting the tunnel, just on the other side of the wall is a cage containing coffee and various other items for the break room. And it's a very quick, brisk walk away. It's hidden very well, and nicely lit, but there's no doubt this isn't exactly a lavish attraction.

Forbidden Journey though... wow, we are finally getting something truly big, truly lavish. This is amazing.

Beyond the theme of Harry Potter, which I love, I hope Universal will realize that guests still love seeing physical props and sets and not just "space age projection screens" as they sometimes call it. FJ seems like such an amazing blend of real and virtual. I can't wait.
