How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk - General Discussion Thread

I am wondering if the sole purpose of these stands is to hide starfall racers when in the land itself?

I think thats definitely a big part of it! It's also cool that the coaster goes through the stands.

It'll also up the thrill level for the dragon flyers 100x.

**inspired by the Dementor attack at the Quidditch Pitch! At least that's what my brain keeps thinking lol

Agreed. A coaster going thru anything helps the thrill factor, but that thing looks like it is going to be massive and I know several were wondering how they would block starfall.

Honestly, I had hope that would also have the second launch in a show building, but oh well.

I love how the construction workers on sight give a good sense of just how friggin' tall this thing is.

And as for the coaster, the more I look at it, the more it looks like it'll be a really fun addition. Not just with the various keyholes/headchoppers, but the first half could be really good as the track is gradually dropping down to the lowest point underwater/under the bridge, so the train could be picking up a nice bit of speed down to it!

The grandstand is coming together fast:



Teeny tiny house on top of the spire:



Looking forward to seeing this planted in with trees:

When it gets sent down the ramp, I'd hope somebody quotes Maelstrom...

"Back... back.. over the falls!"

I can't see these mountains and not think of the original Seuss concept art. GIVE US CRUMPIT !!!!!

 

[NotPennysBoat]

Going to be a beautiful land!

I didn't realize the Dragon coaster was literally right there next to the land entrance. Even in an unfinished state, that whole entrance plaza inside the land looks amazing! I love it!!

I love the ride vehicles! Looks just like something Hiccup would’ve built.

We got testing on the Winged Gliders!

I swear I hadn't seen your comment prior to sharing the vid there.

All that's missing is that the head on the train.

Once the water is filled in that lagoon is going to look stunning! That wide view photo already gives a good impression of the final look.



I figured they couldn't put large trees here because of the access road. You can already see a berm starting here so you're not likely to see much of SR except the very top.

I find it a little funny you have to go all the way down one set of stairs and immediately go up the other right after.
