To be honest they don’t have a lot of land to work with considering it was a supplemented attraction added into an already designed space.

I think some of the layout definitely could have been implemented over top the empty area in the that’s currently enclosed my track, which I’m assuming will be queue space.

This looks way too short? Or am I missing the scale here.

If this is it, it is one pathetic coaster with a terrible throughput. Also have 2 launch tracks so short after each other is kind of weird. I expect it to be larger.

Yeah, seems like only half a coaster to me.

Tommy also did a layout based on the footers. Wonder how this compares?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

How does it compare to Hippogriff?

Pretty comparable.

 

[Magic-Man]

Launching into a helix and immediately into another launch doesn't make sense. Maybe flip the start and end? That way the second launch is an extra booster to add another block zone to the layout.

I wonder if the Monsters coaster was added to make the land more family friendly?

It was and I think it was the right decision.

This land is basically Hogsmeade to some degree.

A kiddie coaster well themed, lead up to the castle/E ticket, and while rumored to be a different ride experience, it’s the same ride vehicle of FJ.

It’s more complicated than a simple copy and paste, but the roots are there.

This is exactly how this land was described to me from my sources, too.

I don’t have any sources so if they’re saying that, that’s what it feels like it’ll be. Sounds great to me.

Sorry, I mean I'm hearing it from my sources so you're on the right track lol

Gotcha, it makes sense to me. Both are villages, they’ve designed a significantly popular one, may as well use it as inspiration!

 

[Magic-Man]

Yeah, this definitely feels like Hogsmeade remix. Can't wait for the Invisible Man motorbike coaster in the back!

 

[mainejeff]

Agreed. As long as they don't sacrifice atmosphere and theming....I think making these franchises more accessible makes a ton of sense....and cents.

We don't know the extent of that, yet.

I'd like something more themed than Flight of the Hippogriff, especially since it appears it's going to be highly visible from much of the land and guests may be walking around it/under it at multiple points.

I think it was the right decision.

From a business standpoint, almost certainly.

For my personal enjoyment of the land? We'll see!

But will it have butterbeer?

Blooderbeer.

The coaster I bet is highly themed, this park is going high level. Idk what that means, but I bet it is more themed.

I am definitely not expecting an intense coaster, but do you think it will be a family coaster, or more tame like a kids coaster?
