Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Alicia]

So maybe this, is the area in question...?



With the old clock building, bridge, and Hagrid's Hut involved, as well as the edge of the forest, all on the ride?

I'm struck by the architectural style of the Clock building. Just throwing it out there.

So, they are currently laying out and pouring the evac paths and a foundation has been formed for the vertical ramp. I see scaffolding around that rectangular building in the middle of the whole thing which suggests theming is to commence very soon. Anything else?

I was looking at different buildings earlier and that was the one that really stood to me. It seems to match up with the skeleton we’re currently seeing but I know nothing about it. The buildings have some beautiful architecture.

I suspect that there could be a push through of a car if the track is complete soon enough. It should be obvious to see if a lot of the plastic coverings is removed or changes location.

Thinking about the trains, I think it will be something similar to the setup that Taron has:

They look like they could be easily styled to what it needs to be, the seats look perfect for a moving loading platform, Taron has a similar coaster experience to this with multiple launches and obviously this has 16 seats compared to the rumoured 14 but I could see something extra being added to the front car.

Wait, Hagrid has two huts? How did I not know this? I'm gagging

Also, the boathouse would be fun to go through/past

Maybe they moved it after the first movie, so he only has 1, but the film canon changed through the series? I’m not a big enough Potter fan to know if that correct or not. Anyone?

Of course 6&3 have to go where 5 is. 3 becomes a cave and 6, ???

With all of the track in place, the construction site has cleaned up nicely. We're almost to the boring part which is adding the theming (some is interesting but some is hidden from view) and then the testing. it will be interesting to see them putting in the trees or other placesetting components.

Hagrid's hut almost burns down in book 6, but it never changes location or shape in the books. In the movies the hut location and shape changes after the first 2 films, which I assume is what this image is referring to.

 

[shiekra38]

Holy crap, that's crazy how it fits perfectly

Also, as I understood it, Hagrid's was always at the edge of the forbidden forest...But there is no reason we can't have two, just like we have two HE's technically

 

[NotPennysBoat]

Looks like you nailed it Disneyhead!! Great job!

The problem with it being the clock tower section of the castle is that it would technically need to be behind the current castle they have. Honestly where this riding is being built is the worst location. Technically the castle we should see from Hogsmeade is the clock tower. Hogsmeade is located at the back of Hogwarts, not the front. However, the station is located across the lake. This ride is where both the forest and the shack should be. Which both don't go together. The theming for the Triwizard tournament was the only thing that actually works in this location and I still wish that was the direction they were going in. All three tasks in one ride would be cool. The only bits of the castle that would work somewhat okay in this area would be the Owlry and the grounds. The boat should be at the foot of the mountain where we enter Forbidden Journey. The structure they should put here is just a basic section of the castle and play it off as the outer parts of Hogwarts. have the other hagrid's hut be referenced as a storage hut or something else. I know a lot of people are excited about this ride but them not sticking to just the forest or just Triwizard stuff has me scared. I really hope they don't jack up the theming.

Do we know for a fact that the round structure will have a roof? Anyone have the elevation drawings handy? If you do but don’t know how to post pictures, just ask Brian and he will put them up for you.

This has made me even more excited now thanks to @Alicia and @Disneyhead How as they say I would love to be a fly on the wall as this progresses and goes into theme, show areas and testing. With this new coaster I have actually got myself more into the books then the movies.

The hut indoor scene? Yes roof.

I’m not at my computer right now, sorry no elevation pic, maybe later.

Don’t think any of this will be an issue.

I mean, @Alicia found the picture. All I did was scribble on it.
