I think I get what you're saying. When they made Forbidden Journey, they didn't anticipate that they would eventually build multiple Potter attractions, and as such, FJ is a "Greatest Hits" sampler of Potter. Now that we have a ride that is presumably about the Forbidden Forest, it doesn't make sense to also go through the forbidden forest in FJ.
Nothing from the first book was incorporated into FJ (unless you count Quidditch). Fluffy- who could be going into the FF ride- or any other details from the Forbidden Corridor (winged keys, wizard chess, troll) are up for grabs.
After rewatching Half Blood Prince last night, I agree that it's almost certainly Hagrid's hut.I'm with Tim Tracker on this one (although granted, I'm in no position to judge the size of the buildings; maybe they're just too big!?) -- but especially if there's a similar structure to the side... they would seem to have the right footprint for Hagrid's hut. Obviously they'd have to add to or modify the existing structure to get the right roof line... and of course, for us uber-nerds, that places the timeline of the ride in or after the third film, because Hagrid's hut design and location changed after the first couple of movies, when filming of the hut took place on location in Scotland rather than on a soundstage... (Appropos of nothing, I did a tour with my family of Scotland last year, and we got to see -- or rather, look out our bus window at -- the exact location where the hut scenes were filmed, not far from Glencoe. It was really cool!)
LOL - I saw it, too. We both must have been watching Syfy.
I disagree. It depends on the story the ride tells. In FJ you leave the castle. The same could be said for the next ride. It works fine. The forrest in FJ isn’t the literal same place the coaster will be but it’s the “same” forest in that world. Yes you enter in the castle but you leave back out once you enter. I think it works.
I guess it's similar to how in Radiator Springs Racers, you ride through a different version of Radiator Springs than the land you just walked through to get to the ride..
That’s kinda what I’m thinking. It’s a simulation of what you walked past. Stands to reason that you flew out of the castle, into the forest and back into the castle. But there is no rule to say the forest or grounds can’t exist in more than one ride.
