Originally Posted By brotherdave After seeing the final movie today, if Universal DOESN'T build a Gringott's Bank coaster, I would be very surprised (and saddened). The technology certainly exists for an attraction of this type. With the right blend of special effects, animatronics, and theming, this could be one truly awesome coaster experience! The only downside (outside of cash) why they may not build an attraction like this is that the HP section of IOA already has two coasters. Adding a third coaster may be considered "overkill" by those in charge. Let's hope that they go forward with this possible new attraction!

Originally Posted By DlandDug The Gringott's sequence in the book lends itself very well to a themed attraction. I will be seeing the movie Monday morning, and can't wait to see it on film. I wouldn't mind at all if they took out the Dragon Challenge, if it would involve the creation of an immersive dark ride.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I seriously doubt that they would remove Dragon Challenge as that's one of the park's signature thrill rides. My guess is that they could possibly locate the queueline where the Sinbad show currently is and actually use one of the adjacent old soundstages for the coaster from the Studio park. Just a guess on my part.

Originally Posted By ChiMike Not disagreeing with any of the direction discussed on here, but there will be no reuse of an old soundstage from the other park. The only thing behind Sinbad is a facility lot and a quasi-administration building. The old soundstages are quite a bit away. My expectation would be that Sinbad is razed. That plot and surrounding areas are repurposed for the expansion. Perhaps one of the old soundstage buildings get repurposed for displaced back park operations.
Originally Posted By brotherdave Hmm, I didn't realize that was not a soundstage near Sinbad. In any case, I don't think Dragon Challenge will be touched during any expansion of WWoHP. However, Sinbad and most of the Lost Continent could possibly dissapear. My guess is that Mythos might remain, and possibly Poseidon's Fury. But everything else in tht area could be fair game for expansion.
