Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Caretaker D.]

So, are those things hanging from branches supposed to be pixie nests? There are similar nests to be found at Animal Kingdom constructed by some African bird.

I don't see anything hanging...where at?

This looks great and I think it will be awesome! That being said... I will say I could spot all of the maintenance huts/buildings painted "go away" green in the POV... like, clear as day they stick out like sore thumbs (the drop building mural as well). Still cant understand the placement and lack of theming on those parts, but besides that it really does look great. Just find it frustrating that Universals tactic a lot of the time is to really knock it out of the park and then have things like FJ's visible show building right next to truly masterpiece work.

I feel the exact same way and think this 100% should’ve been indoors. I still have hope that the foliage will grow in nicely and make everything look better. Night rides are definitely going to be where this thing shines though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any of the area that is suppose to be the forbidden forest on any of the POVs posted on this thread? Only the final part is the forbidden forest. How else would you expect them to take care of a building that is needed other than a mural?
Also I can't think of another outdoors coaster with animatronics. Those animatronics need to be powered and you cant have big trees blocking the access to those power units. I can live with painted green boxes along the coaster for a chance of having a different coaster experience. There are enough themed indoor coasters, and not too many themed outdoor coasters where the coaster is not mostly in a mountain.
This is something new and different and I can't wait to ride it!

Starting to think that warehouse to the left of the entrance is going to be used for something.



*edit*

I saw a video (OI I believe) where one of the trains had '13' on it in painters tape. So they have at least 13 trains on site, probably 14. Lends credence to 12 trains at once but I still think they might only run 11 to optimize capacity.

No way there are 12 blocks on this track. I would think 4 to 5 trains max.

There are 7 launches, but 1 is doubled (reverse). That's 6 blocks right there. Two drop shafts adds another two blocks. Two trains in load. One in unload. Two in final brake run.

13 blocks. Leave a block clear and you've got 12 trains.

When are walls supposed to be down?

Also 11 trains on a coaster track for a multi-car coaster has to be some sort of record right?

Not sure anyone has mentioned the purple button on the bikes in these pictures?

At first I thought it was something to do with testing, but in the books there’s modifications on the bike one of which being a purple button which is a dragon fire boost.

What’s the betting hagrid tells us to push this after we drop which is what helps us escape for the final launch.

There’s only one thing left to do...push the purple button.

If you know...you know.

Good catch.

 

[BBPH]

Is this not more likely to be how we escape the Devils Snare?

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah after the drop, the final launch which I assume will be the most powerful

 

[Scott W.]

Coming out the Devil's Snare like:

 

[Riler]

I was surprised they didnt include a clip of that final launch through the forest yesterday. Think that will be the part of the forest that will feel like were swamped by trees the most.

Even that sneak pic of Fluffy gives me chills. This ride just looks incredible. Man when that Jurassic Coaster is ready, is there really a better park in Orlando right now, maybe minus MK? Maybe?
