Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Nah, it doesn’t go upside down and is much less intense than the coaster it’s replacing. It’ll be either 42” or 44”.

Cheetah Hunt is 48". Yes, it has an inversion, but this goes backwards, has a drop track, and insanely banked turns. It's gotta be 48", maybe 46".

That inversion makes all the difference though. Seriously.

I agree, 48" 13 over at AT has a drop track and its 48" as well.

 

[Scott W.]

I don't see what the drop has to do with anything. Tower of Terror only has a seat belt and a 40" height limit.

 

[rhino4evr]

If it's anything less than 54 then it's a failure!!!......just kidding.

I don't think it really matters. My guess is 44, based on the "family" wording in the original press release. They want almost everyone to be able to ride this.

Lapbar versus either OTSR/significant lapbar.

Well, Verboten is 48" as well. Just comparing apples to apples man.

Edit: I'm not saying that it HAS to be 48" because of the drop track, there are far more elements that come into play. Just using those family coasters as a reference point.

I don’t see this coaster having OTSR.

So probably a lap restraint like Mummy? (i’ve crushed at least two pair of sunglasses with that thing)

Just crushed mine in May on Mummy too. That was the first pair destroyed since the Typhoon Lagoon Wave Pool ate mine.

I usually crush other things on that ride but I love it.

Universal doesn’t decide what the height requirements are for their rides, the manufacturer does. The manufacturer is responsible for determining what height is too small that it would be unsafe to ride. Since it’s Intamin, I expect it to be a notch above Gringotts.

 

[JungleSkip]

Gringotts is 42 inches. I'm thinking this will be 44-46.

 

[Viator]

Gringotts is 42 inches. I'm thinking this will be 44-46.

yeah, I'm thinking this should be somewhere around Mummy's 48 inches and Everest's 44 inches. Not exactly one or the other, but something in-between.

That leaves 46...

I wonder why manufacturers don't use odd numbers? 43 just sounds weird I guess.

 

[Teebin]

Well, I guess we have talked that subject out... now we wait and see.

What else...

What’s in the queue?

 

[JungleSkip]

What’s in the queue?

What's in the box?

 

[Alicia]

People waiting to ride. Duh.
