That is a great explanation.If I am correct, there's a deliberate reason for the randomness of the glass here. If you look at the window panes in Hagrid's hut in the 3rd film onward, he has taken seemingly recyled broken pieces of gothic stained glass and combined them at random to create windows for his hut. I will say the Tiffany-look of the glass here doesn't work, but the film setwork does tell a story that he recycled old glass and installed it clumsily at random. Because this is his ride, I think it's fitting.

I already answered on Twitter, but wanted to see what everyone else thinks here. I’m assuming “Motorbike Adventure” will be in that small line at the bottom still. Just really really small.I’m so happy they made the name simple for the sign.
So obviously no, it won’t be that level as we can now seeCould you imagine a Hagrid AA on the level of Kong? Or the Shaman in Pandora? AGGGHHH

Correct. I think the big triangle section with the title will probably be bronze or some other contrasting color when complete. And the brickwork will match the train station/locker area I've always assumed.I also think they’re going to end up spraying/painting the entirety of it.

I've been under the impression that they're going to pull a Forbidden Journey and have some of the text appear/disappear using fiber optics. Like maybe Motorbike Adventure appears like magic, but MAGICAL CREATURES is always visible.Agreed.
You know- in analyzing that pic more, I wouldn't be completely shocked to see them block the lettering in glass (possibly even stained glass).
The next step will be painting (prior to the cutting of the thin hardyboard)- then it's a matter of filling in the lettering with something transparent since it will be backlit.

RIP @Alicia 5/6/2019 No way she survives this level of excitement. Off to the In Memoriam thread.
I dunno, multiple launches, backwards and a drop track. Seems synching multiple vehicles is something that needs to be worked on to be up to capacity.The ride system for this ride is a lot more simpler than Gringotts. It's a new attraction so you should expect delays either way, but it won't be as bad as Gringotts was.
Anyone know the status of the back "Sound Wall" they started painting green a week ago?
