Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

[Teebin]

Agreed. Either it's not going up in time or there's something wrong with it. Maybe it won't breathe fire because it's a hazard?

Perhaps one of your three ideas... although, even that might be an understatement... I am awaiting details.

To clarify, what I posted earlier, has nothing to do with the ride attraction or the queue of the ride attraction. It has to do with something that has not yet been installed and has left many wondering why.

I'm going to guess the dragon...although the clock hasn't yet been installed, there's nothing that could possibly be wrong with a clock. But seriously, WHAT ABOUT IT?!?:inquisitive:

Then I'm going with something's wrong with it. Something is REALLY wrong.

I've heard it pronounced both ways: GRING-GOTTS and GRING-guts.

In the films they tend to say GRING-GOTTS, but for what it's worth, Harry Potter Wiki (I don't know where they got their info) says that it may be derived from the word ingot, which would suggest maybe the other is correct.

It's levi-OO-sa, not levio-SA, lol.

But will it have London time or Orlando time????

I am hoping the correct word is "was".

But will it have London time or Orlando time????

Unless they can provide London daytime and nightime, I would expect it will be Orlando.

 

[DragonSlayer]

London time would be amazing. If slightly confusing.

Maybe it has problems so badly that they have to nix the idea and build a proper roof to the bank. I can only dream

 

[ChrisFL]

Honestly, the dragon above Gringott's isn't a "deal breaker" for my excitement...assuming that they eventually get it working ok.

Wow, the story they just did on WESH had some great video I haven't seen before. Hopefully they post it on their website this evening...

Really nice shots inside the bank lobby as well as in the station with multiple ride vehicles all emitting steam from their stacks.

Grin..gots.

Thanks for the heads-up! Here's the video from wesh.com.

At :51 is that an animatronic?

At :51 is that an animatronic?

Yes, and I love it... I recall Hate's statement that there would be a point in the queue where guests would do something, and now I feel it's a safe bet we can open a Gringotts account or something of that nature, which is spectacular!

 

[DragonSlayer]

^ Yes. (Edit - beaten to it!)

Love the smoke effect on those vehicles. And what a difference a second of footage makes - the depth as Bellatrix walks to the front of that catwalk is brilliant, and was cut off from earlier clips of that scene.

It looks like there is a bit of squenching(sp?)there as well.

That was something I noticed as well. Can you imagine it with 3D and motion-based vehicles?? I get goosebumps thinking about it!

I agree with you here. The original single picture was awful and made them to appear as cut out dolls. The animation works much better now, in this particular shot.

 

[GGGhost]

More clips with extended ride footage, that left tunnel grate slamming shut, more AA goblin goodness, and more of the head goblin's speech about opening an account. Their day of reveals did NOT disappoint!

What the heck is the spell Bellatrix yells?!

And I'm liking the sound of a "Gringott's Identification Card."
