Apart from it definitely *not* being the Mack inverted spinning coaster that was one of the leading rumors...

There's a foundation that implies there will be at least one indoor show scene near the train station.

Here is a pic from AliciaStella over at IU.
Apparently, we are going to go forward up, then roll backwards down. And it's going to be enclosed in the dark.

Wait, so Intamin Blitz is not yet confirmed?

Potential Spoilers if you click...beginning with the article's title...

Well, if this all turns out to be true, and it *is* indeed based on my favorite character from the Potterverse, then I'm all on board. Looks like it could be great fun!

That does sound fun, but would Universal and Disney both come out with motorcycle type coasters at the same time?

If Universal can beat Disney to the punch, then... yeah.
Mainly, though, this just perfectly fits the land, the theme, etc. It just sounds really appealing for a family ride, and I like the bit about a lower height requirement for the sidecars.

TRON started after and will open after this attraction.

You would have to ask Disney about that. Uni has been working on this project for over 5 years. We actually thought Dragon Challenge would close for this a full year before it actually did.

It's an interesting notion, but do we have enough visual indication from the track construction to determine whether this would be a Blitz, Bike, or even Megalite Intamin?
Hourly capacity on these bike coasters is total garbage, too, and given the calamitous reliability of Rockit, I can't see Universal opting for a moving platform boarding system for a coaster any time this century.

To be fair, Disney had Tron before construction started at Disney World.
It just seems odd to me that those two parks would share so many similarities on rides that are opened/announced within a similar time frame.

I'm also willing to bet that this is going to be a much better attraction than Tron.

Dueling dragons was perhaps the worst B&M inverted that I ever rode. Great bear at Hershey wasn’t great either.
Montu...aplengeist...raptor...heck, the Batmans.
Try those
