New Harry Potter Coaster Confirmed for 2019 (Dragon's Challenge Closing Sept 4th)

[raven]

Maybe, but the dual drop house looks really cramped, to the point where there's not a whole lot of room for any themeing beyond projectors.

If it were up to me, ALL screen-based ride elements would display multiple effects sequences. They should at least account for time of day.

The actual drop track section is still just a giant hole in the ground directly west (behind the current structure). The structure you see is currently only covering the switch track section.

Looks like it will have a zig zag track section similar to Cheetah Hunt. Which is a cool element.

This section looks like a lot of fun.

This section looks like a lot of fun.

It's even more Cheetah Huntier than Cheetah Hunt!

Now, do you think we get turning cars like Cobra's Curse? - I wish but don't think so

Wouldn't think that likely given the layout, but some people are still speculating that a "Hagrid" bike and sidecar setup might be possible for the cars.

Spinning doesn’t make much sense more a motorcycle.

Very doubtful with the launches.

Haha, that could be fun. Also can you imagine the banked s-turn/u-turn/s-turn move at speed in a spinning car? Talk about Project Vomit.

A launched spinning coaster opened just a few months ago.

Gringotts would qualify as a launched spinning coaster as well. Sorta.

I assume you are talking about time traveler at silverdollar, its actually a lot of fun, and the spinning works really well

Lots of new Bioconstruct Aerials for this one up today.

Where do you think this will fall in line with as far as the intensity and thrill? Also, will this be partial indoor/outdoor?

Looks moderately intense, with some tight banked turns about the same as Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens. It will have multiple launches but given the lack of super long straightaways on the track I would estimate a top speed below 45mph. Anticipated freefall drop and reverse sections would likely increase the thrill factor for some.

Coaster will be indoor/outdoor with at least two indoor sections in addition to the load/unload station.

Seems like 70/30 outdoor/indoor.
