I really hope it is the SFX. But, if it isn't that; and is this, I will be albeit as happy as I'd be for that.
Plz no. I want the sfx, or at least a real coaster
Outside of it being faster- why would you rather have the sfx? The one with Arthur and how to train your dragon in dubai is pretty flippin awesome. It can all be indoor with lots of screens and sets and animatronics (like HTTYD) and basically be a faster and upgraded ET/Peter Pan ride, or it can be a combination of indoor and outdoor with set elements in Both (Like Arthur).
But if they can make the speed faster- It can have the slow dramatic dark ride elements with background screens and animatronic/real sets at the foreground like an updated ET, and still have a Thrill element similar to Gringotts with fast launches and "chase" scenes. The main advantage over the sfx is we can have some nice prolonged looks at scenes and have it be much more like a dark ride hybrid coaster. I'm all for a decent thrill as certain points though.
The most important element is it would likely drop the height requirement from 54" to likely 48" if still thrilling or possibly even 42"- but I'd rather 48". Either way, it'll be one of the shortest height requirements for a suspended. HTTYD has no height requirement- but it's too slow. I want some speed with this.
To me, why I would want the SFX coaster more-so than the Mack InvertPow Coaster; is that it would keep a balance in the park of having something with a high thrill factor next to Potter, while also being heavily themed.
Although, I did mention that if it's not the SFX and is the Mack InvertPow; then I am actually happy about it for a few reasons more than one. One in which, being that it would bring more potential unique showscenes for the attraction in many way's more than one.
Both I would be perfectly happy, but I'd hope to see the SFX a bit more than the InvertPow.
Sfx looks badass. No doubt.
I just feel like it's a very similar system to Gringotts- whereas the Mack IP seems like it's have more control over dark rides and storytelling. Particularly for physical sets and not just screens.

How so? They both offs LMS launches, both offer 40 degree tilts and they both are basically turntables. Really, the only added element that I saw from sfx is it can do a vertical drop (not sure if Intamins could).To me, I don't compare the SFX coaster to the Gringott's ride system, as they are completely different beasts.

While yes, I agree they are different- I don't think they're that different. But I'm not an expert on the subject- just with my very limited knowledge they seem very similar whereas the Mack would be completely different.
Put me down under the Mack Power Coaster wishlist. Plenty of new opportunity for an SFX south of the property imo.
Ohhh, Screamscape...
And how would these RVs be themed story-wise? Another"enchanted bench"?
What forms of transportation exist in the fiction?
However for the SFX coasters, well there's Mission Ferrari at Ferrari World in Abu Daubi, however that has yet to open. In fact anytime it seems to be brought up in news, it's some sort of delay. (One earlier report said it would be open this Summer, but others feel 2018 is more likely.) I would wait for that to open and see what kinks (and updates) come out of it.
