General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

No-go.

Opening a major outdoor attraction at the height of storm season in Central Florida? What could go wrong?

This is a weird flex.

 

[OLSinFLA]

No-go.

Weird since storms are passing and none behind them on radar

Likely out of an abundance of caution. They're certainly gonna put it's through it's paces after the rain passes. Can't imagine they'd give it that much downtime before grand opening.

Probably not with guests on it though.

Ops needs to do precheck stuff. Lots of tests and such.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

No-go.

How was the wind there? MCO was seeing gusts of 67 mph.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. It shows no rain or storms for the rest of the evening, and the park closes at 9pm. I would think that by 5pm or 6pm they'd be good to go. Maybe it's not all on weather and they're doing some final tinkering, so it's as smooth as possible tomorrow?

 

[Ryan]

Tomorrow doesn't sound any better.

TPR has a mixed review on the attraction. Loved some elements, still bitter about a top 10 coaster being removed for this. He mentioned that the inside drop track portion, the first chunk of it looks unfinished, you can look around and see you're inside a warehouse.

Anyone else notice this?

Sounds like sour grapes.

The warehouse bit is a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, you can see there is a roof and the trees do not have tops - but I wouldn't call it "unfinished".

I’ve heard “overlit”.

Apparently a certain Mr. Alvey wasn't allowed to film on the attraction which lost him YT revenue. So I can imagine there's some bitterness.

Either of the Dueling Dragon's experiences were not Top 10 coasters, those are an hour and a half away

That's more fair.

Boohoo

 

[SpatulaShack]

Yeah in what world was Dueling Dragons ever a "top 10 coaster"? Top 10 in Florida, maybe. Anyone complaining about the loss of Dueling Dragons when THIS is what we got as a replacement is on some serious nostalgia powder that is dangerous when snorted.

It had a gimmick that people liked, Montu is better than both combined

Also, TPR rides so many coasters around the world, I often wonder how jaded they have become

He did mention he's a jaded coaster rider haha.

That's more fair.

Is this due to outside light leaking in? Or could they still adjust this?

Almost nonexistent now. Hulk was cycling as I was leaving.

Could be. I didn't notice it as much during the night ride.
