Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

I have this sneaking suspicion that there’s something onsite we haven’t seen yet and the people at Universal are just counting down the days until it’s uncovered.

A look from Hogwart's Express entrance today:

Like what, a potted palm?

I report rumors all the time. Hey the dude who I said he saw stuff might not know what he’s seeing. Or maybe another part of it went vertical. I don’t know.

well recently you just seem to be anti jibberjabber that's the only reason I say that, But I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Massive two cranes in HP area!?

Pretty sure that crane on the right is just being used to put the tower crane together.

Things aren't being covered well, if that's the case.

 

[Teebin]

But seriously, I would think that the only creative thing that would be on site at this point would be for the queue building. I would imagine that everything is gutted by now…

I hope the design changes include putting the pretty stuff near the end instead of at the beginning. As I recall, the end was just long straight passageways with no adornment prior to the large load room.

Yeah. Maybe a few interesting things are hidden in the Dragons queue that remains. But everything else is pretty barren. There's also basically no storage space behind the lot to hide anything.

Yes you are correct and I stand by my statement from earlier, with them still working on pounding steel into the ground we are a ways away from vertical. They still have to pour footers for the showbuilding and any outdoor portions (assuming they haven’t done so already).

With the arrival of the tower crane we should expect this project to pick up the pace rather quickly and vertical by spring. I have no inside knowledge just my observations.

 

[Teebin]

Well, they certainly had time to pour the footer for the tower crane!

 

[Frank Drackman]

I feel like I've been saying 'cranes are Universal' for over four years now. Aren't they done yet?

:bolt:

 

[LJGonz]

When does anyone think we’ll be seeing track pieces come in? Maybe June or July...

 

[UniversalRBLX]

If this becomes Uni's Expedition Everest... oh boy. That'a a big win

What makes you say that?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

What makes you say that?

The way they reference "family" and "thrill" coaster, outdoor/indoor scenes, animatronics (hopefully working). I can imagine this ride having Everest like scenes with some stops and possibly go backwards if Uni wants it to or not.

 

[Imperius]

Don’t think this is having that much height.

Ok. Just making sure no one is expecting a mountain here...

 

[Disneyhead]

I fully expect this to be a launched terrain coaster.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I meant Everest as in the type of ride we are getting, not a mountain. Can't have a mountain because it will ruin the castle's force perspective.
