Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

If it was Disney, they'd already have turned it into an 8 acre Hermoine meet and greet. Uni isn't really for the 5 and under crowd. Roller coasters appeal to that teen(part of families with older kids) and young adult demo that Uni markets to. If you think that's one of their flaws, you really don't get Universal.

If it was Disney, they would have let it run seasonally and then let it rot for a few years before demolishing lol :ears:

Actually if it was Disney it probably would have been a coaster too.

Ya. Disney is known for opening complete expansions of new lands a mere 4 years after opening like Diagon and then beginning construction of 3rd and 4th expansions 3 years later at both properties- at least one of which being said coaster.
I look forward to Avatar 2.0 in 2021 and SW:GE 2.0 in 2024. I'll be over here holding my breath until then.

Pod-racing family launch coaster confirmed.

Not gonna lie- that could be badass.

Well, the concept art could be, that is... before the cuts.

'Gringotts needs way more thrill for me. After the intital drop, its just kind of blah. FJ IMHO is the best ride I have been on with Spidey a close second. I immersion of sets and seemless transition in FJ is unmatchable.

FJ would be my number one if I could handle the curved screen sections. I just can't avoid getting nauseous no matter how much I want to look at the screens.

Well can Universal hurry up and push Rip Ride Rockit harder? I'd love to see that piece of crap in a heaping pile of rubble. Least favorite Coaster at UOR.

While I don't like HRRR, I don't care as much about it getting the boot since it's really just squeezed into the smallest footprint possible. It takes people off the streets and out of other lines which makes me happy even though it's an eyesore.

This project is very secretive still but one thing I have heard makes me think it will not be a robocoaster or anything similar.

I like the sound of that, music to my ears for sure. I can’t wait to find out the nitty gritty details when the birds chirp in someone’s window.

There’s a video on the UOAP FB page I can’t share of the demolition from a news channel. They’re wasting zero time. This has to be some kind of a record with the speed they’re going at.

No time to waste,. As Homer Simpson keeps saying over in Springfield, "Must beat Star Wars opening. Must beat Star Wars opening. Must beat Star Wars opening. "

Screenshots should do the trick.

Must kill, Moe. WEEEEEEEE!!!

Wish they put some of the parts up for sale. I would have easily paid quite a bit for a wheel.

 

[Mad Dog]

I'd guess some of that stuff will end up for sale in the Studio's park memorabilia store.

I hope so but I don't recall anything from Hulk going up but this isn't a replacement so who knows and I remember a lot of people showing interest in buying parts from then so maybe Universal have taken it on board.

C'mon Universal, you know you want to see those pieces in the Prop Shop!!

The front of coaster dragon heads would fetch a few bucks, I'm sure.

 

[Scott W.]

Was there ever any substance to the rumour that the dragons that used to sit out front are now residing in the IOA lagoon?
