I think it would work perfectly. Couple of trees here and there...

Then i'll say this,

they are fun attractions; but the repair cost's may be a little..too much for those.

Plus, I believe that they don't make 4D Coasters like that anymore. Only stuff like Zacspins or S&S 4D Freestyles.

Zacspins and Screamin' Squirrels' have terrible capacity from my memory. The 4D coasters all seem to have a lot of hiccups. My confidence in S&S isn't all that high.

Well I guess this is a good a time as ever to say that the re-ride line is now open permanently. Well, if the line backs up past it then it closes, but otherwise ya...

I'd be shocked if they don't end up building the Great Hall restaurant using some of the DC land. There's been way too much talk about it over the years.

X2 (a 4D coaster) is amazing... but I don't think anything like that would work in a Universal park at all. Too intense and hard to theme.

I'd be pretty disappointed if they tear down an entire ride (2 if you are feeling generous) for just a restaurant... They'd lose a ton of capacity. I never really felt any problem with DC but if its getting demo'd, shouldn't they at least replace it with a new ride?

Once this is done... does this mean something might finally happen to the 3rd exposed coaster at the resort? :saw: (BTW, I actually think the HRRR is okay, but I wouldn't care too much if it was replaced by something else and I would love it if it got some sort of huge Comcast era upgrade.)

A few here are pointing to and hoping for a wind rider to replace dragons.

as much add I like wing riders I can't see this happening here. Great rides sure but they take up a massivefoot print, yes the space for one would be there but I can't see it being long enough ride to give a decent enough through put.

Either way I'm excited to see how this new rumoured project takes shape.

Yeah I can't see a 4D coaster being built. It's much too intense. A B&M wing rider makes sense, although a small part of me would love to see an insane RMC just cause RMC.

...hey, insiders, let a guy dream! :lol:

I honestly don't know what it'll be. Wing rider was just a guess. All I ever heard was "a coaster"

Hopefully it's at least something different than what we already have in the Orlando/Tampa area.

You have something similar in size to Kong. They could start work on this at the same time or save this for a phase 4. The obvious choice would be to create a Forbidden Forest dark ride. I don't really know enough about HP to really comment on a story or event for this attraction.

If they're doing a Quiddich field, I would hope it's trackless Kuka Arms spinning and swerving around each other...

Although that won't happen. The Forbidden Forest really only has Bane (the Centaur), Aragog, and Grawp. Maybe the Thestrals could be there and a dragon. It would be perfect for a Kong style ride... But it's another Kong style ride.

That's the "problem" with the Hogsmeade area. Nothing of consequence happens there, really. The Forbidden Forest has moments but nothing huge. And absolutely NOTHING happens in the Shrieking Shack aside from Pettigrew and a meeting for Dumbledor's Army.

The only good options (story/experience) for that area are Quiddich, Chamber of Secrets (which is still a slight stretch), or...

The Battle of Hogwarts. And it would allow the ride entrance to be in Hogsmeade without changing canon. Harry, Hermione, and Ron meet with Aberforth in Hogsmeade and go through the painting to reach Hogwarts. This allows the entrance to go through Hogsmeade directly, get a magical queue experience to get back into Hogwarts for the load, and then experience the most important element of the entire series.

I believe the only option left for these expansion plots should be based off these non-consequential areas with characters such as Bane, Aragog and Grawp. We all know Emma Watson wouldn't even come back for Gringotts, who knows if anyone would come back for the Battle of Hogwarts (besides the twins and the blonde girl who's always at celebration of HP). I really think an "original" story using non-human or secondary human HP characters is the only option.

He's already in Forbidden Journey.

Like my earlier suggestion they could always bring in Newt Scamander for a Forest dark ride. I'm sure Eddie Redmayne would be on board for a theme park ride.

Eddie Redmayne is in the middle of his current contract with WB. If they wanted him to act for a theme park ride, I have a feeling they could convince him more than they could convince any of the trio to come back.
