He missed a good laugh in that vid. "as long as it doesn't have a huge animatronic shark", he could have added "or Yeti"... that would have been a hoot.

^ Wait, you think the ride should be a dark coaster... but if it is like Mummy you will be disappointed?
Guess there will be the dragon and the fountain of some sorts. Would be nice if they had a freefall section in the track like thirteen in alton towers uk to replicate the films drop, but don't really know how that could be implemented with the rest of the ride unless it was towards the end? :shrug:
Oh my! WantI would say the drop in Verbolten is pretty close to what the ride designers could use to replicate the "Thief's Downfall" moment from the last film:

That's so awesome. If they did a freefall in the middle of the coaster, it would definitely be a ride more tailored for thrill seekers. That seems almost too thrilling for a Potter ride, but I guess anything is possible.
I'm from Virginia and I rode Verbolten the other day. It was an awesome coaster, but on the short side. The launches are pretty fun, but I think the Hulk's is more intense. As for a coaster like that for WWOHP II, I don't know that it really fits the Gringots theme. I would imagine a Mummy like system with the more or less same mine car design. But, from what the sources told us earlier on, the Gringots coaster will concentrate on theming more than the actual coaster portion.
I watched the POV, and it did seem pretty tame.
It's tamer than something like Hulk and Dragons, but it's a lot more intense than I was expecting. You pull some serious Gs in the event building. But it's plain old fun. It was something that was needed at BGW.
