Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[rhino4evr]

Hopefully will do a new video in a couple weeks. Still waiting on a couple more details and clarifications.

For now, I will say there’ll be a few small bits inside, all in separate smaller show buildings scattered around the site. So it all won’t be outside.

One scene in particular looks to be in fairly large enclosed structure. A couple others are in smaller buildings. I get the feeling one or two will have some sort of projection in them. And the big one could have who knows what, but i think it’ll be towards the end of the ride so should be something good!

any idea on the "thrill" level? I would imagine if we have multiple buildings, than this ride with start and stop a bunch?

Actually doesn’t look like it has stopping. Maybe a couple slowdowns, but unlike Gringotts, this seems like it’ll be go go go the whole time. Maybe some slow moving scenes to start and in the middle, but never fully stopping.

Alicia: You can skip "Insiders Practice" this week. Good insider info contribution to the site. :thumbsup:...Have a drink on us.

Well that's good to hear. My main complaint with 7D, is that it stops just as it's getting good. The dark scene in the middle of the coaster actually makes it feel less thrilling.

Ok, you people grab her by the ankles and hold her upside down. I will get the keg...

 

[Alicia]

As far as thrill level, of course nothing upside-down or crazy like that... but there doesn't seem to be any drops either. The ride takes place mostly around ground level, so no room for dropping. Instead imagine lots of fast straightaways, curvy sections kinda like figure eights, and near misses with scenery.

Fun and exciting for people like us, but nowhere near as intense as dragons, so more families can ride. Plus, ya know, a tremendous amount of themed scenery and trees. Something Dueling Dragons never had.

Yes, a keg party would work for Alicia. Get a hold of Disneyhead, he can tap the keg. Don't invite UK Trigg, unless you get two kegs. He'll drink one by his self.

 

[Alicia]

Oh, and it looks like both Red and Blue dragon load stations will be used... or at least connected together to make one 90 degree track section inside the load building. Maybe one side is a show scene for the beginning or end of the ride? Or maybe they just split load and unload to two completely different platforms so you never see the guests unloading next to you while waiting to load. Not sure on which yet.

That sounds like Test Track.

That sounds like Test Track.

Without the awkward computer controlled braking system. And on a coaster track. And in a coaster train. Actually no it's nothing like Test Track...

More like that one part of Busch Gardens' Cheetah Hunt where you travel over the pond with the waterfall, low to the ground but still thrilling. Like that.

I'm getting a Big Thunder vibe from this

If that's what it will be like, I'll be very happy!

Okay, correction, there'll probably be a couple drops, but nothing major... One big curved one like Everest or Big Thunder does so well and one kinda traditional drop.. But none of the track is ever that high. Like nowhere near as high as dragon challenge; never more than two levels high. Track will overlap itself a couple times, but I don't think it'll ever go any higher than that.

Out of curiosity, will there be by chance some form of a Drop Track bit? Because I could see that for one location seen in Bio's aerials.

I either see that as drop track w/ reverse section or just reverse. But it seems that itll go reverse no matter what.

So a motorcycle themed multi launch low to the ground family coaster experience with a significant portion of the ride in the forbidden forest with another portion outside the forest. Potential encounters with forest dwellers include a stop underground (show scene) with Aragog (spiders) and maybe a lap around the great lake? Add in a Ford scene and a beginning and/or ending show scene. Does that seem close? If it is this could be really good and something IOA could use.

This is starting to finally pique my interest more... if they really do highly theme the landscape and have the coaster weave through it, passing by obstacles like this is saying, this could make for a really cool addition.

Reverse is a go.

Drop track I don't think so, unless it's hidden in the building, which is possible.

Not so sure about any forest anymore.

Big Thunder has drops.
