I thought gringotts was going to be on a roller coaster track and was going to be different than forbidden journey?

How will the kuka arm be used in the attraction then? I'm guessing it will switch cars between tracks.It is lol what are you talking about?

There was that sales pitch video for the ride system showing the drop, wasn't there?Ok, here we go. Don't see the drop elements mentioned, so I'm not sure where I got that from.

I don't remember what exactly I read, or where I read it, but when I first ran across a post somewhere from an "insider" that had the first accurate details of the Diagon Alley expansion it specifically mentioned that the Gringotts coaster was going to come to a complete stop multiple times for show scenes, including a drop element.
The video was from Dynamic Attractions and was posted much more recently, only a week or two ago, and showcased a computer model of a proposed indoor ride system that incorporated multiple elements, including launches, a vertical drop, a teeter-totter style switching mechanism, and even a horizontal sideways slide switching system before showing the ride vehicle headed into a huge spagehetti bowl of fast, tightly banked turns.
I doubt that the video was intended to be a demonstration of what the Gringotts coaster will be like, because the length, scale, and complexity were far beyond the limits of practicality and also it did not conform at all to any of the alleged track layouts I've seen suggested for the ride. However, one of the three proposed switching systems might well be implemented by Dynamic Attractions for the Gringotts coaster, though whether it will be teeter-totter or the drop has not yet been confirmed.
Edit: someone has re-hosted the video that was removed!
Steam trains travel backward quite a lot. The smoke will look real and the wheels will spin the right wayGreat pics, Disneyhead.
I don't have an issue with the Hogwarts Express being visible in the Studios park. But since the train is always going to be facing IOA that's going to create a strange visual in the park when you see it going backwards toward Kings Cross.
