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

[MisterPenguin]

Oh, Tom. You looked so good in your recent stint on Flash. Who allowed you to wear that wretched clothing and backlight your hair which is both fly-away and put into a bun? You would think a park with a Hollywood make-up attraction wouldn't have such low live-action production standards.

Height requirement is a surprisingly high 48”. I thought this was supposed to be more family friendly than the rest of the Wizarding World?

I wonder if that could have anything to do with the ride vehicles we got, despite the naysayers previous statements to contrary.

 

[OG Runner]

I'm not saying Fluffy isn't happening, but I'd bet $50 he isn't. If I'm wrong I'll donate an additional $50 to Give Kids the World.

Wowsers.
It's faster than Gringotts & Mummy, but not as fast as Rip Ride or Hulk.

This looks very promising

So will the show building be flat and just painted, or will it have dimension and depth like the other building I attached?

Slightly disappointed it is getting the box cover up, but only because the rest of the ride seems so well themed.

And yes, I also think the big box for Guardians is also very disappointing.

Personally? After Memorial Day.

Yeah, worried that is the case. We rode Race through New York with Jimmy Fallon about a month before the official open. Hoping maybe this one is that far ahead as well, as we will be there the second week of May.

Hopefully it works out for you! I just feel like they have quite a bit of theming/planting still to do around the track, so I'm expecting very limited softs

To me its a big difference. This is an outdoor ride so the show building if visible is part of the show element; whereas the Guardians ride occurs within the Show building and is not part of the ride.

Regardless, I'm excited to ride this coaster!

It will have a mural only. I don't think it will be noticeable at all when you're on the ride.

I mean, the AA is already visible in aerial pictures.

Right, but in those pictures he looks to be asleep, which suggested to me that he might be static. Not many creatures that big can survive outside when they're animated, so it didn't seem safe to assume he would move. But like I said, glad to be wrong about it!

He probably won't have super dynamic movements. Expect him to kind of lunge at us and bark.

I think it was meant to be more family friendly than what it replaced.

Already did back in December when the foundation was poured (You can search the thread and find my earlier confirmation as well.)

They started painting the sky background so what you see is what you get.

"The most highly themed, immersive coaster experience ever created."

I don't know, those are some big shoes to fill.

Yes, but it is not just sky blue. It will have trees painted on it with real trees in front of it to create depth. Also that area will have massive tree roots that surround the track partially hiding the building.

And yes, for those concerned, Fluffy is an animatronic built by Lifeforms. As is the Unicorn. I'm not sure who is building the Hagrid/Blast-Ended Skrewt and Centaur AAs.

what's your high mark right now you think?

Do we split rides like the mummy or gringots away from BTMRR,etc?

Yea, because theme parks never, ever hype up their attractions beyond reasonable expectations.

You have got to admire an honest gentleman!

Yeah, you figure at 50 mph it will be a nice green blur as you go by.
