Take a look at the Midway Mayhem YouTube videos, they are actually testing the ride vehicles.
Funny to see though, they are still covered.

They’ve been testing since the middle of December.

We’re now up to three trains on the tracks at one time!

Have they taken the wrapping off of the ride vehicles yet?

Bioreconstruct has a photo of a ride vehicle testing that had no seats attached. Never saw that before.

Neither has he. My guess is that they are triple checking the alignments of the LIMs and the track. They did it before and again with a car but this gives them a third check.

A few trains are on the track but they aren’t making complete circuits yet. Parts of the track are still in white shrink wrap.

ONE CRANE REMAINS!! This crane was between the Abbey structure and the queue/load/unload building.

Yup. Like below the rockwork above the track before/after the backwards drop.

Keep doing whatever you can Joe, to keep the lines. down.

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT, I CAN'T WAIT. I WANT TO RIDE IT NOW! COME ON, OPEN!!!

No fun at all. Everyone stay away so I can ride it over and over again.

Man...let me chime in and say that I agree that the ride looks:

• too long
• too realistic
• too fun

I think Universal should be roundly shamed for building such a ride and that everyone not on this forum should boycott it. /sarcasm

I am so glad you confirmed this was sarcasm. There are just too many times that I don't understand the difference. Thank you!

The name of the coaster bothers me on a spiritual level.
But I'm sure the contents of it will make up for it!

Yeah, do we have to have the title of this discussion change now?

Interesting layout for a mack inverted power coaster.

Not til the official release. But if you want Hagrid to show you some magical creatures from the back of his motorbike you are in the right place.

Curious to hear where height requirements fall on this. Rough guess: 48” for motorbike seat, 42” for sidecar. I assume the goal is for the side car to be no higher than 44”.
