Isn't Hagrid's Hut pretty much confirmed on this coaster though? I didn't think that was in Fantastic Beasts. Also... Wouldn't they market it as a Fantastic Beasts attraction? Seems like a pretty big marketing opportunity.I’ve heard a tuner that the ride could be themed after fantastic beasts. Not sure how true this is.
It seems that you are not really familiar with New York. Gothic revival was a huge thing there in the turn of the twentieth century. Many buildings from that era are neo gothic or gothic inspired, and if you want to create an early XXth century new york feel, gothic is the way to go.Also, that window is gothic, obviously. I thought Fantastic Beasts was set in 1920s New York? Doesn't seem too fitting.
Good, A piece of historical NYC right beside Hogwart and Hogsmead might not be the best for immersion. Exept if apparating is part of the ride I guess.There is nothing in the films that resembles this new building that I can recall, so I would guess it is just a generic Hogwarts-esque building made for the ride.
That would be ****ing fantastic if they had pathways throughout some portions with a pub or something too. I'm not super Harry Potter, but if they fouled do that, they should.Do you think there will be roads and paths through the area or some shops and restaurant or do you think the area will only be used for the coaster?

Please, I never said you had no clue about architecture. But you still wrote something a bit misinformed, whatever are your qualifications. You probably know that many neo gothic buildings in NY predate the bulk of art deco buildings and later styles. Manhattan in the 20s was known for its gothic feel with world famous buildings like the Woolworth and the general aesthetic of the tall, thin towers of the time echoing the spires of European churches. That has been talked about a lot recently as the booming super slim condo towers of today's NY are sometime said to revive the aesthetics of the Manhattan of the early twentieth century.Well, I studied an architecture based design course for three years and got a first class degree from it, so... you know. Obviously I have no clue about architecture. I'm aware of architectural styles in New York, and my point still stands. Gothic hardly screams "omg I'm in the Big Apple". Unless this coaster is flying through giant references to churches and cathedrals of the east coast at numerous points, this coaster ain't Fantastic Beast themed.
It's literally completely different? Look more closely. Different tracery, less columns etc. If it were the great hall (which makes zero sense at all), they would recreate it exactly as seen in the films.Looks to me like we have a Great Hall window on our hands.

I imagine any Fantastic Beasts attractions will be in the fourth gate opening in the future.
I'm not throwing it out completely, but I just don't see this coaster being FB themed. I just don't see it happening in the location that this coaster is, it wouldn't sit right to me.Only the first film is set in New York from the looks of things. So I wouldn't throw out a fantastic beasts ride. I think there are 5/7 films planned? so it will stay relevent for a while.
I'm going for this at the moment. I know the rumours that Alicia Stella picked up on could be false, but everything does point towards it being themed to the first (and partly second) films. I'd imagine it has a lot to do with the forbidden forest.It's just a completely custom building inspired by Hogwarts as far as I know, and if I'm remembering correctly, the ride is based on Sorcerer's Stone.
