Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Mad Dog]

I like the look of the rockwork with the moss. And I like the look of the rockwork with the snow. But the two set so close together not so much. I hope they can somehow blend the new ride into Hogwarts.

I believe the angle of the photo shot makes it seems the two are much closer than they actually are.

Also, they haven't even seemingly begun work on exterior queue, which will likely plant tree's to block the ruin's from Hogsmeade in some form.

I love how perfectly they can blend those green construction things into looking like the rock work.

I wish they’d add bits of snow here and there to make it cohesive with the rest of Hogsmeade. :afraid:

Hogwarts hasn’t got any snow on it, no one notices.

Only with the lights at night.

Hello guys,

Do you think universal is planning to themed the rooftop I’ve encircle in blue ? Like what they did for the “green” one ?

Just wondering

Maybe a wood slats floor?

Yeah that can work, anything that look old, with moss, green-ish can beautify complete this ruins setting.

Because that white Las Vegas casino rooftop really broke the immersion from this coaster section !

Maybe something like this

I don't think so, the ruin is just that without the roof. I also would be a shame because I think it will be very imposing when you go trough it and you can look up at it.

In the movies Hogsmeade is always in the show (except once) even when at the castle is spring time.
There is no real explanation in the books but the filmmakers liked how it looked. I think the wizards and witches living there are just cool and love to make snow angles. So in regards to the movies this is perfect.

We only see Hogsmeade four times in the movies - and, to be fair to the village, it's always winter when we see it. Allegedly the filmmakers made the creative decision to put the village above the snow line so it's always snowing, those cheap folks.

Hearing the bits of info this morning from the two GESWL attractions (both sound real good but seem to be screen reliant), it's looking like Universal will again out AA Disney on a new attraction.

Screens or not, there's still a lot of AAs at the Star Wars attractions, starting in the queue, and for Rise, they're an important part of the actual ride, so people will remember them (even if there's not that many).

Which is fine. Lot's of queue AA's like Universal has been doing. Myself, I prefer an intricate AA in the queue more than the ride itself since you get longer look at it and have time to appreciate the AA, "AA Appreciation Day "...So now that I succeeded in baiting you:sneaky:, please tell us how many AA's are in the queue and ride for Hagrid. .Pretty please......I just love this Forum.

I have absolutely no idea. But, if you listen to my new podcast, releasing later today, I do say every single rumor I have heard for the queue thus far.

Ha! Turned your baiting into a shameless plug.

A revamped version of a No limits 2 recreation of the Hagrid coaster that was posted a few months back. It looks really nice but it may be hauling a little too fast.

Actually the speed is spot on with this one. That’s the best recreation I’ve seen yet! Nice find!

Even if this Universal does "out-AA Disney", both Universal and Disney are improving upon their weaknesses with these new attractions. Hagrid will give them a much more themed environment and have pretty much NO SCREENS - something that will be refreshing for Universal. On the Disney side of things, many of their rides actually do have AAs or are reliant on a more physical environment as it is (and both Star Wars rides seem to be very immersive in the queue and ride portions for the most part with a themed practical environment). They are also giving Disney some "Universal rides", as I think of them, since Disney has lagged so far behind Uni on these types of rides.

For both Universal and Disney, these attractions will be big wins and improve weaknesses as I stated.
