Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Kinda got lost in this but the blast ended skrewt is tomorrow.

 

[violarum]

Yes.. has to be, Im in love. I dont know if the skrewt can top this. This is so sexy in a theme park way lol.

I think the centaur is handsome enough for people who aren’t even furries to feel a bit... smitten lmfao.

But yeah. Look at that fog... Those trunk textures... We have no choice but to stan...

Absolutely. "Might want to approach from the front" and not the blast end I assume

That teaser pic makes it look a lot bigger than I was expecting.

I guess I will be that guy:

Is the centaur definitely a moving animatronic?

 

[JungleSkip]

My guess: we drop and the centaur warns us “The Forest isn’t safe” like he does in Sorcerer’s Stone before we launch out of the building

At least it’s not me this time.


I had the same thought.

 

[Alicia]

Told you the bottom of the drop track building would feel the most like the dark forest! This looks great.

I'd be fine if he wasn't, but I think it goes without saying that would be everyone's preference. Even if it's minor.

I wonder how they will handle the transistion from indoor dark forest floor to bright and sunny final launch/turn lol. I can see this being a more immersive ride than it already is, at night

 

[truejonas]

I feel like they're going to not mention the unicorn. I mean, if the story is we have to go find a unicorn, it's anticlimactic to know it's waiting for us...right?

Yes this was my thought as well, i dont know how to justify dark to light without a cave which this is not. Interesting:_:

Yea, they're never gonna announce the unicorn... but it's at the end of the commercial, so cats out of the bag. But now technically they can still say "... and more" at the end of every description of the creatures in press releases.

that's a pretty cool looking AA...I wish we could see it in motion though...

So...seeing this makes me wish more of the ride was indoors...

I think that, but then I realize we already have Forbidden Journey with indoors stuff. I like how spread out and real this ride is going to be. I wanna feel real wind in my face, not fans blowing in the dark like Gringotts. Ya' know?

This gonna be good at night though. So good.

Yeah, I couldn’t tell from the pictures and the post made it sound like the centaur might be off in the distance a bit

Man, it looks cool, though

 

[tielo]

I probably played to much Red Dead Redemption 2 but now I'm wondering if the centaur has shrinking balls...
Whatever the case this is a great addition.

I have a feeling it'll be more confrontational. Outside of Hagrid, and to a lesser extent Harry (of which really only Firenze was nice to him), the Centaurs don't like it when outsiders tread on their territory.

With his bow drawn in the image I have a feeling it's going to be more of a "GTF out of my forrest!" type warning before we shoot out.

 

[TommyJK]

Now for a missed opportunity, wouldn't it have been awesome if there was a huge Gwarp AA in the forest that takes a swipe at you as the train whizzes by. That would have been awesome.

I hope we'll be seeing some sort of light blocker door that opens at the last second when we launch out of the drop track building, perhaps something similar to the sound barriers on Mummy that drop down between Imhotep and the treasure room.

There is a curve in the track up ahead after the drop that may act as a natural light barrier.
