I have heard a rumor a while back that the stations might have moving walkways (like at Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit). If so, that 2,500 number might a little more feasible than you may think. (of course, they would have to stop it some times for guests who need extra time still)

Yes it is gonna have a moving walkway load/unload like HRRR, from what I have heard & seen.
25 days to go, and hearing the que is gonna be parts of Hagrids Magical Creature class and some scenes from some of the book and movie.

Yes it is really themed, beautiful, and I bet when guests ,and the Potter fans see this will probably get excited and some cry like they do when they first walk into Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and even Hogwarts Express. The ride is based mainly on the books, and some of the movies. This is a new part of the J K.R, & Warner Brothers, & Universal Creative time to shine. I can even bet you this is to see how things go for maybe the new park to come, and we see something like the Ministry of Magic and Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

I am excited for this and it looks like more of the sound barrier walls are gonna be painted with the camo sample they did. They even painted the back wall part that you can the SpeedWay gas station to blend in, so people cant see stuff & to blend in with the trees, so that the sound barrier wall looks good painted up. That's how you hide show buildings, sound barriers, electric boxes all being with trees or bushes, and even like some rocky stuff.

Less than 30 days to go until the Grand Opening. Tick tock, tick tock

Wow, 2 drop rooms for efficiency. So the Universal Blog is claiming it's the first coaster with a free-fall drop (17 feet). Attractions mentions Verbolten and specifies the dual drop room loading is a first, but I wonder if the drop mechanism is that different.
 
Zachary said:
Yeah, this is squarely false. As someone who has studied the schematics of Verbolten's drop track at length, it is, legitimately, a true, completely-uncontrollable free-fall.

Wait, why'd you delete that tweet? So Orlando Informer on FB is claiming "Verbolten uses a rapid elevator system, Hagrid's is a free fall"

That is false. Verbolten's drop works just like a drop tower. The track segment is released, free-falls part-way down four pillars, and is then slowed at the bottom by magnetic break fins mounted to each pillar.

@Zachary Doesn't Canada's Wonderland "Wonder Mountain's Guardian" also qualify? The description says ”After a few seconds, the drop track releases the train into a 9-metre (30 ft) free fall".

Wait, I see they said "in the US" I guess they didn't want to piss off the Canadians.
 
Sounds like they are definitely fudging things with all that, but those trains do look really cool and the ride looks fun so far.

I don't know enough about Wonder Mountain Guardian's actual drop track system to say.

I will say something to whatever PR or Marketing is making that on Universal Orlando's site. I am wondering if they either forgot about Verbolten at BGW, or they are saying it because there are 2 drop areas since they built it with 2 drop tracks for capacity. So, I will see what I can do I am not there today since surgery on Friday, but I will message some people and hopefully they fix it. Glad you sent your response too, I actually spit my water out when I read it.

I think I already gave away one Easter egg, and that being the stained glass windows to be a throw back to DD/DC.
The part with Ron Weasley is gonna be projection mapping. I hope in the Devil's Snare we hear Hermoine, and found that each drop inside the drop building is different from the other, which would mean my luck I get the same one all the time. Plus, sit in the sidecar as that is the side you mostly see the Magical Creatures, except the Rear Ended Blasting Skrewt, which is on the motorbike side. This is gonna be a multi ride experience.
