Bet.

Here's the Gringott's layout.
(It's rough, and doesn't show any of the ride features. Best I could do quickly with what I have.)

Yep seems pretty accurate to me.

So I take it the ride vehicles won't do any of the fancy inertia/orbiting dolly tricks seen in the last film, eh?

Edit: Forum won't allow me to do pinpoint links. Even "fixes" it when I deliberately try to enter it as a link.
Relevant section is at 3:30.



Also, so much for my dreams of their building a third dragon coaster- a gray Intamin accelerated coaster that shoots out of the top of the Gringott's facade- Ukranian Ironbelly.

No. It isn't true.

Ok, thanks for your reply. Just wanted to check it here, since I was kind of skeptical about this myself. Guess my friend isn't such a reliable source...

The Orlando mummy is definitely superior to its Hollywood counterpart.

But the orlando version pales in comparasion to Singapore's Mummy. The entire Egypt land, the facade of the ride building, , and the interior design and effects of the ride, Singapore got the best one.

What's the running time of gringotts? It looks incredibly short.

Well, unlike the stateside versions, they were able to build that one from scratch and not try to squeeze it into an existing building.

Supposedly the attraction is going to come to a full stop in a few places for drop-type elements, similar to Th13teen, so the running time is probably longer than the track length would suggest, even by Mummy standards.

This is what I was going to say. If it were just like Mummy, it would be an extremely short ride. But given the placement and position of some of the short sections of straight track, it would seem as if they may pause the vehicles for show scenes, special effects, or movement-related effects.

Even then, not very long. Maybe 3-4 minutes?

I mean, that's all Forbidden Journey is. Perfect length for a thrilling E-ticket.

 

[HTF]

Expect it to be right at 4 mins.

...and this guy is very glad Forbidden Journey wasn't a second longer than it was.....or they may have had to deal with a protein spill.

Sounds fair.

Earthquake/Disaster has a pretty short ride track layout...

But earthquake/disaster isn't a roller coaster which we know this will be

I'm merely suggesting that quality (show) over quantity (track length) may not be a bad thing...

Grizzly Gulch is about 3 minutes so 4 minutes would be plenty

Which I understand, but the rolling eyes changes it from being a valid point to being a bit douchey.
