It looks CG? Maybe they haven't been installed yet or maybe they'll be on screenz?

Gotcha! Makes sense to me. Having to deal with scorpions every summer, I’m sure these things will end up in my nightmares.Read above
Known as the “Blast-Ended Skrewt,” this unique creature will be one of the most life-like animated figures Universal Orlando has ever created and was brought to life for the first time ever
Looks like that's the concept art for it. They're holding out for the actual encounter.
I've mentioned it before, but part of the queue will take us through a lab where Hagrid creates these hybrid creatures. In addition to the giant one on the ride, we may see more in the queue... Maybe babies? Or even a musion effect to make it look like a big cage full of them or something?Might just be poor wording, but the blog makes it seem like there will be multiple Skrewts
"you’ll encounter Blast-Ended Skrewts up to 8 feet long with tails up to ten-feet high and topped with a massive stinger."
- Keep your ears tuned for the voices of gnomes- they’re known to scurry about the grounds
Testing /w Audio! You can hear Hagrid!
Roll through with no stop seems to be the perfect fit for this whole ride. We don't need any "scene setup"- the queue will handle that. So having a continuing ride will make this flow much better IMO.Yea, seems lot a roll through, no stop. I was wrong about that. And that does mean the only full stop is drop track, which is crazy (especially compared to things like Gringotts).
I wouldn't worry at all about this. While it would be short for a dark ride, it's longer than most roller coasters. Remember that it's not a dark ride, it's a coaster. We can't forget that. With that in mind, I can't see how anyone could leave this wanting more; unless they wanted an intense coaster. People will be smiling ear to ear hopping off this.Hope it doesn’t feel too quick if you know what I mean.
I don’t want to have the “that’s it?” feeling when getting off that some rides give me.
This will be interesting. Curious as to what the smell will be.Produces a very powerful and signature odor created specifically for this distinctive creature
100%So I'm guessing a fire effect when we enter the hut?

Seems like around 15-17 seconds, give or take a sec, in the hut. That's plenty of time to catch a scene.Yea, seems lot a roll through, no stop. I was wrong about that. And that does mean the only full stop is drop track, which is crazy (especially compared to things like Gringotts).
