Future of Dragon Challenge?

If it's a B&M Hyper, and if it's the once canceled Osaka attraction; It may be more extensive than some may think.

What's the canceled Osaka attraction?

 

[Imperius]

If, IF, this is true, it doesn't mean the ride will be "in" the Wizarding World. Could be in Lost Continent.

Lost on this one. DC is very much so in Hogsmeade and no way of it no being in it. Unless you mean the coaster goes into LC and then the DC replacement is something different.

What's the canceled Osaka attraction?

The Osaka attraction was a once planned B&M Hyper coaster, that would've been themed towards the Forbidden Forest.

There was concept art of the trains itself, and if one would assume; the reason why it closed was simply due to that it'd be too close too, and that the park already had a hyper coaster; that being Hollywood Dream.

That's exactly what it is . Also LC is being replaced entirely by a forbidden Forrest area, with a dark ride also. I told you guys, I'm not BS'ing. I said it back in 2012 and I'll say it again now.

 

[Viator]

Then it shouldn't need to replace Lost Continent.

Yea the LC replacement is a different HP are entirely, however from what I'm hearing the hyper coaster will fly over the hogsmeade station queue, into the new forbidden Forrest area. Also it could extend out that way because D.C. Was built on a sinkhole, and they may try to avoid that area when building the new ride.

I would ask someone else can confirm that in particular, as I still don't believe you.

So they are going to replace LC and DC with Forbidden Forest? And they are putting in a B&M Hyper, a high speed ride that would typically have an out and back layout, that doesn't fit that plot at all. To make it fit, it would pretty much have to run the perimeter of the current DC and LC areas that border backstage. And even then, it would be small for a B&M Hyper. That leaves most of LC and the DC plot left. Both of which, you could just about put another DA with Gringott's on. Not to mention it would mean the Forest would be split by the Hogsmede station and pathways. You can have the coaster cross it, but everything else would have to go around. This almost sounds like one of those false rumors they float to flush out leaks.

I see what you're getting at my source is pretty solid. It would have a pretty big layout, and it wouldn't be the only attraction in the land. I got this same kind of denial from people back in 2012 with Kong but look at what happened there. Honestly at this point, just wait and see for yourself when it's announced.

 

[Cheezbat]

This would be the dumbest move for Umiversal. While I love B&M hypers, we just got one at Sea World. So Universal is going to open one in 2019? The same year Busch Gardens most likely will be opening a Giga Coaster? I see nothing truly gained by a move like this. A wing rider or flyer and a dark ride to replace D.C. Makes more sense.

According to your profile, you are 17 years old. So are you saying you had Kong inside info when you were 12?

 

[k_peek_2000]

Sounds like a terrible idea.

 

[Tyc00n96]

2 questions.

1) Does anybody have the concept art for the trains? I could have sworn it was posted somewhere on here

2) What would the theming be for the coaster outside of trees if it's part of the Forbidden Forest

Your profile says you joined in 2016

Or he was someone who was banned and made another account would be my guess. Anyways regardless we will find out soon. There was a time on here back when it was OU where the insiders were saying Nintendo wasn't coming while few others were saying Nintendo was coming and then boom the announcement came out, so this will be interesting to see.

All I know is that if DC does get torn down I for one will NOT be disappointed in the slightest. The ride was great back in the day when the trains were synchronized, but that's never coming back. Also it's a very rough ride now, the last time I rode someone in my group threw up her butterbeer in the bushes just outside the station. Haha! It takes up so much space. I'd much rather see a dark ride there.

Guys, I love B&M hypers to death but there's one literally just down the road. Put me in the ambivalent on this for now.
