coastercrazy216 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I will be very upset if this ride is anything like G-Force at Drayton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef kitchen Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Man, this is a good looking coaster. All of the twist and turns look like they're going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 At first I really didn't have much interest in this ride, mostly because of some of the epic failures Maurer Söhne came up with before but also because it seemed like a Orlando Tourist Magnet type ride, but now that I've seen some of the actual track work I have to admit, this ride is really impressing me.

alpengeist04 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I believe that the "double take" and "treble clef" alone will make this a fun ride. Thanks for the update, Adam. ...Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalepi_Konei Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 The magic box reminds me of Charlie The Unicorns "Magic Z." It's so mysterious and wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So this ride for sure! Has at least two stories to it...? Interesting.. Great photo TR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, technically the castle is to be built UPON the top of the box, so the structure is gonna be massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewsPlusNotes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 ^ That's sorta what I was wondering when I read that as well. Maurer Sohne seems to really be one of the 'hot' designers right now, and it certainly doesn't seem like they've epic-failed on anything. Unless there's something I'm missing? Rockit's pacing might be weird because of all the blocks but an epic fail that does not make, at least in my opinion. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianCoasterFreak Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I really want to try this one out! looks great, maybe not the best coaster, but It was family oriented more and the whole social viral thing is so cool! I'm heading down to florida this summer to try this one out, manta maybe as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 the epic failures Maurer Söhne came up with before Like which ones? How about G Force at Drayton Manor, which placed #349 out of 358 on Mitch Hawker's steel poll this year? Actually, that's the only terrible Maurer Sohne ride I can think of.

cfc Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Drayton's G-Force is one of the worst rides ever, thanks to the X Car restraints and that funky, inverted lifthill. However, Formule X, a launched X Car coaster, is a great little ride. So, I'm glad that Universal decided to get away from B&M (as much as I like their rides) for this project.

CoryPa77 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 According to some people, Universal wanted B&M for this initially, but they weren't going to be able to meet Universal's need date by a long shot. Although, I'm kind of wondering if Maurer can meet that date now? Still, I'm really excited about this ride, especially the first half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 As of today, much (if not all) of the ride's track has appeared in the vacant storage lot. This track includes some larger pieces of at least one of the brake runs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Eeek! It looks like the Potter box could possibly be larger than my beloved Indy box! I can't believe I'm this excited about a ride where a) I don't like Harry Potter at all, and b) we don't really know what it is yet... Still excited though, with visions of Kuka arms dancing in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT3000 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The interior work is being guarded carefully, so much so, that Universal will supposidly only bring in track pieces after hours. The track was already installed a while back. Besides, it's not that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_K. Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've heard that they'd like to have it up and running by Grad Bash, and the permanent stage should be up in time to coincide with the beginning of Mardi Gras'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
