Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Stone theming? More like "foam" theming....
You don't think they will stick a clockface like door the train shoots through on this do you? Ala Gringotts?
I hope not! I want to ride it in the spring.

Ah! The old broken gothic window trick... I cannot wait to see this finished off. (note the jagged bottom edge)

On another note, what is this strange material that it is made from that it is bluish.

Figure of speech implying/joking that it has been used by pranksters for centuries...

So it’s a new technique for theming

I can hear the glass smashing sound already:

too bad we wouldn't be going back to the Ice Age.

Meanwhile, in a interesting question..how are they going to do on-board audio? If it's a modified version of the Motorbike Coaster type, it would be a first for that ride system, wouldn't it?

I just hope that the speakers are by your ears like HRRR and not like Hulk.

I believe the only on board audio systems that Intamin has done before are Gringotts, California Screamin, and Bizarro SFNE, so almost any train design will be a first with on board audio for them.

Can the hardcore HP fans match this facade to a building from the movies?

In the movie Chamber of Secrets, it is very much like the large window at the far end of the great hall. At the end of the movie, the camera pulls back and through the window and flies high above the school. That said, it is hard for me to believe that this is supposed to be the great hall... but who knows!

It almost looks like the back of hogwarts near the greenhouses but I guess that wouldn't have much continuity with the queueline for Forbidden Journey?

Edit: See this image taken from the huge Hogwarts model at the WB studio tour.

 

[Teebin]

This larger image has a similar window on lower right. I am not sure what section of the building interior it represents.

That whole section to the right doesn't actually feature in the Orlando Hogwarts castle either. Could be some forced perspective/magic hijynx at work to make it look like its connected?

 

[Collin]

This section of the castle looks to be old and ruined. I don't think this is meant to be a specific location.

I suspect you are correct. Still, it’s fun peeking around for specific inspirations.

So, I assume this gothic work was created by Nassal which begs the question, how did Disneyhead miss it?

They have a new lot. They aren't doing this at the downtown plant. I've checked my go to places and it's a Ghost town. Some help from the county records guys would help.

Mark talked to one of their guys last year who said they were moving most everything to a new location.
