Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Creeping Fig and some of the other covers they use grow back quickly. That's what they have trained on the entrance sign:

Nothing of worth to add, but Port of Entry is gorgeous.

Those are for sensors that keep track where each train in along the course. That way the system knows if a train stops in the middle of a block.

Do they really need a sensor on every support? That seems like overkill. I know safety comes first but yeesh.

From Bio,

Great angle and look into the drop track building. Seems the actual drop track section is coming together now too.

Framing for the covered bridge area coming along quickly! Love how that upper swirl part from earlier in the ride passes right over the end of the ride, right through the bridge!

 

[Viator]

A little more..

 

[Alicia]

Check out the wall over the opening in the building is already concrete... and there appears to be what looks like a window on the wall (arrow in pic) as seen in first scene of the ride.



EDIT: Bio addressed the wall! Better views:

Lol! When someone tries to compare this new coaster and Flight of the Hippogriff, just show them this picture of the two maintenance buildings.

Is the end brake section going to be indoors?

Could it be possible for windows to be added to the station and the new outside concrete walls to have some kind of screen or projection mapping?

Open air covered bridge is leading rumor.

No screens. Maybe just holes for maintenance/access to effects used in first scenes. What is evident is that these new walls will be themed, and they will cover up the unthemed old station walls hidden underneath.

That's a pretty big damn bridge.

I'm imagining something similar to the windows in Be Our Guest. A beautiful landscape outside the windows just as you board the train and given that it's a flat wall, it can be themed completely different on the opposite side. The gap between the station and the wall will give that fake illusion of depth.

Yea, that would be neat. If we see the interior walls get sledgehammered by load we'll know why!

 

[Bulldog45]

Wow!! Those are some great new aerials!! Why did they build a new concrete wall in between the track and the main building? Seems unnecessary unless I'm missing something?

Also, the size of some of these new buildings (maintenance bay, drop track) are massive!!

I would just like to have the money involved in wrapping and rewrapping and covering that track to protect it. That’s a whole lot of product!

You couldn't do that down the street. They are getting rid of plastics :look::look:

I think that may be grounding cable as part of the lightning protection. With all the electrical and electronic components for this ride, they need all the protection they can get.

After taking a closer look, I do believe you are correct.

If the bridge it going to be this bridge

then how would that other track piece that goes over it being incorporated? The whole idea doesn't make much sense.
