Here is another shot of the teaser sign:

I saw those signs yesterday but it didn't even register.

I will be posting some construction pics tonight. Hopefully that will make up for my oversight.

Those teasers are MUCH more generic than the MoM ones. As if acknowledging to those in the know that they aren't pretending that it doesn't exist... but not wanting to tip off the general public too much as to what is coming.

Yup, exactly. It's subtly hinting, but isn't overtly Potter.

Uh oh your slacking ound: Jk, you do a fantastic job with all the photo updates :thumbs:

I expect great things from you, Mr. Potter Phase II.

 

[Hatetofly]

Saw parts of Bobs update last night, it's going to be awesome as usual.

Sally Corp. - (10/24/12) NewsParcs caught up with John Wood of Sally Corp at EAS2012 and talked a bit about Sally’s achievements, current projects and even hints about future projects. For example, Sally is involved with two ride systems designed for Adlabs Entertainment attractions in Mumbai, India. The finale of one of these rides will include a freefall drop at the end as the floor plunges and drops the 6 passenger car 13 feet. Premier Rides is credited with helping design the elevator system for this effect.

So I guess that kinda puts another nail in the "premier is designing the coaster" coffin?

I don't know. I guess it could help, but any company could make their own version, it seems. Besides, we don't even know if there Will be a drop section. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that was just speculation from the get go.

Excellent update Bob! At least now I know how you do it

Do what ?!?! :inquisitive:

The whole "moving track sections" thing was started on Theme Park Insider with their article. The idea was that a track section would become sort of like a motion base or something. It seemed like legit info. Premier has already done stuff with switch tracks on Mummy. Now their credited with this elevator system on that dark ride mentioned above. And they did that oddball lift on that ride at Hard Rock Park. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they developed something new for Gringott's.

It would also make sense to go with the same manufacturer as Mummy for maintenance reasons. For example, Hulk and Dragons are made by B&M. They have many interchangeable parts that can be swapped out and whatnot between those rides. And cross training is easier as well. If Gringott's is made by Premier, they can just pull some of the maintenance staff from Mummy because there would no doubt be many similar components, and overall less training required than going with say, Intamin which would be a completely new thing. Ride control would probably be VERY similar also.

It just makes sense it would be Premier.

EDIT: The above is just an educated guess. What I really think is going to happen:

In the concept art, the vehicles appeared to sit a little high. High enough to have a small motion base under them. Is this even possible? I think so, the technology exists, it just has yet to be combined into one experience.

Spider-man + Mummy = Gringott's

Totally possible. Commence drooling.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Where has everyone seen concept art at?

Also looks like they are getting ready to start laying drainage over in London with all that RCP and structures laying around. They are just moving right along.

I cant believe I haven't seen this as much as I lurk. This, if it ends up actually being the ride we get, will be the sheesh. Also maybe its just me but if I wasnt a huge HP fan I would think that it was very "dragon heavy" based on the rides. Fj has a dragon, Dragons Challenge, and supposedly Gringotts will have a dragon. Im not complaining though

Just curious on peoples thoughts on what and if they'll try to re-create any food/beverages from the movies for WWOHP 2.0. I can't remember any other odd things the they don't already have, but then again I'm not a huge HP fan.
