Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Sad... not much has changed in the last week it would seem.

Universal is waiting for the cost savings when Sindbad closes in Sept. so they can meet payroll for the contractors. ...They've also left some tin cups at the Port of Entry admission gates so tourists can contribute to the 'needy Coaster construction cause'.

I believe what bio is calling scrim is actually the rebar rock panels. Time will tell.

Yep. lots of bar in that panel.

I think these are the rock forms in Bio's pic.

Spotted this heading toward Universal today. I can't think of any other project this could be for right now on property except this one.

What is Tron out of interest?

To actually answer your question, the answer is 48" for TRON.

I was thinking about the ride vehicles and this being about Hagrid.
Disney's Dombo ride are cloned and gutted Dombo's. At Slinky they took the dog and slammed seats inside his springy body so he can't slink anymore. What if this ride got a gutted Hagrid with his head as the front and feet as the back of the train, wouldn't that be...magical/disturbing (choose one).

I am left assuming that the reason for the custom concrete forms was because of the proximity to the coaster track. Interesting.

Hagrids motorbike has been there for a long time probably since opening

Technically, it's Sirius Black's, but yeah; the motorbike with side car has been at Diagon since opening.

Wow how did I miss that! I'm a bad APH, lol It was nice sitting in it, imagining what the new ride would be like if they actually used something similar.

Correct. Sirius' bike. But ya know what I meant haha

Doesn’t mean there can’t be more than one.

One thought I've always had if it were to be that, is as if the attraction will have seating from different heights.

One height would be similar to a normal sit-down, whilst the other side has a more toboggan seating like Matterhorn/Space.

Doesn’t mean they’re can’t be more than one.

Yup! And that, I don't think it'd be a stretch to have the motorcycle at both USF and IOA in different capacities.

What's the magic word to clone/duplicate?

Ah yes, technicalities!

Someone should tell them they have a giant pile of cash sitting around from Butterbeer sales
