Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Also, it looks like there may be flying butresses between the new castle portion and the queue building where the first launch is. And the castle turret near the entrance of the queue will not be getting a Hogwarts like cone added to the top.

Is anybody else getting the feeling that something else is happening just outside this picture to the right?

I Googled "Sex pixies" and "Sex fairies" to try to come up with something witty.

Certainly not what I was expecting. NSFW. I repeat... Not Safe For Work.

I only got pictures of alternative punk bands

Magical stuff apparently...I think it's just to make it interesting

Also, the Pixies are a great idea to have in the ride, they tend to cause mischief

Won’t everyone be sad if just before we see the pixies, we here someone say “Immobulus” and it turns out they are just hanging in the air on strings.

Yes.

So we have gone full circle and we're back on the speculation this is a Forbidden Forest coaster?

In Goblet of Fire, Hermione explains that Muggles cannot see Hogwarts:

‘[Hogwarts is] bewitched,’ said Hermione. ‘If a Muggle looks at it, all they see is a mouldering old ruin with a sign over the entrance saying DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE.’

Goblet of Fire — page 148 — Bloomsbury — chapter 11, Aboard the Hogwarts Express

Edit: This may help explain the presence of "ruins" around Hogsmeade. Also, we've had ruins in Hogsmeade for 8 years now in the form of the Dragon Challenge queue. No?

I can wrap my head around the fact that we didn't explore every area of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books

I actually love when there are cannon things specific to the parks

Not gonna lie, that was one of the first rumors anyone ever told me... And I didn't believe them. Still not really sure of it, seeing as how they have done such a good job keeping the time periods accurate between the Hogmseade land and Forbidden Journey, and Diagon Alley and Escape from Gringotts... But, I guess it's always possible they could start mixing time periods.

Not to get all nit picky (timeline really doesn’t matter in theme parks) but during Deathly Hallows, half the shops in Diagon Alley were shuttered including Ollivanders. Can’t really sell merch like that though.:usa:

only in the Six Flags or Cedar Fair version of Potter.

Throughout this whole process, my eye keeps finding this structure. Does anyone have another angle of this building? Maybe from FOH?

It’s a “water tower” behind Hagrid’s Hut near Hippogriff. And it houses projectors for Hogwarts castle shows.

That is for the projection show, it's a tower with lighting effects and projections to display on the castle at night.

It would make sense if these Pixies are the antagonist ofthe ride, and with all the trees found in this new poster, it's possible this could be a Forbidden Forest coaster.

Interesting point by Bio

They keep making it harder and harder to get good pictures of the construction Soon we’ll need to rely only on Bio’s aerials for updates

Once the buildings are up, we’ll only be able to see the outer construction while all the fun stuff happens behind locked doors until it opens.
