General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

News to me. Still no announcement.

We’ve got the base playing but nothing’s moving. In line beyond the lockers. TM says 2+ hours from this point

[Alicia]

Actually just cycling. Not getting on yet.

 

[Wes]

Anyone have an idea of trains yet? How many are running?

I need a few more rides before I write a full review but this coaster was a blast. More forceful that I would have expected with stellar show scenes. I almost want to get back into line.

Got to property at 5. Though parking at 5.30. Let into park at 6 and line up just outside hogsmeade. Was the 3rd group let into lockers and got off the ride around 10ish. Had a fun time and Warwick Davis was waving to everyone as we went into the lockers.

Just watched one roll back.... to the station.... from the middle of the first crest...

Five or six.

Apparently that happened at least once during the TM Preview as well.

O:... At first all I saw was someone posting about it rolling back and I just thought they must've been suprised by the spike, but nope...

Waiting in hall before load. I ain’t going nowhere till I ride this thing.

Wish I would of seen you earlier, I would of rode with you, since the hubby is sick.
But enjoy your ride & I prefer the sidecar, you can see more of the AA's. Oh btw have you looked or found all of the Cornish Piixies? I have found like 6. Enjoy your ride damn inclement weather, but you are close to boarding the train. Have fun and fill me in what you think. I have heard a lot of great reviews so far from people, plus myself riding.

I've been told the ride has been designed to recover from these rollbacks very easily. Sounds like they've learned quite a bit since Rockit

 

[Captain Tragedy]

The rollbacks sound like a surprise ride element if it can recover like that without shutting down lolol

 

[allaboutthatchase]

Rollbacks shouldn’t happen with a launch, right? Or at least it’s an easy fix. You increase the speed of that particular launch.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

The thrust is calculated in real time by determining the weight of a vehicle. It’s about figuring out how much power is needed to get a train to a certain speed so that it completes the block. Miscalculations and external factors like wind can throw these things off and cause rollbacks like this. Glad they’ve factored the recovery sequence into the general operation of the ride.

I mean, it's pretty damn common on launch rides like Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster. Wind and other things play a factor.

MCO got the jokes today on Twitter

Thanks for the clarification!

Guys it was amazing. Got off a couple of hours ago and all I can think about is getting back on tomorrow
