Hey Thrill Seekers,
The news that Dragon Challenges last day would be the 4th September was met with similar feeling as when we announced that Jaws would be closing. The much loved coaster will be making way for a brand new Potter attraction but not much more information has been released, so we’re working off crumbs.
One potential large crumb came to my attention last night when coaster specialist Dynamic Attractions tweeted this…
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is getting a little more thrillinghttps://t.co/FHspn3AQeU pic.twitter.com/RGhHe9JgBn

Now its not the article that’s the interesting part because like all of us we know nothing Jon Snow. Its the comments section that’s interesting…

Hmm an SFX Coaster, what is this strange device you speak of;
Dynamic Attractions bill the SFX Coaster as The World’s most exhilarating dark ride and state;
Combining a high thrill coaster with new track technologies, high definition storytelling visuals and state-of-the art audio effects. This attraction is filled with ‘firsts’ that will attract theme park enthusiasts from around the globe.
Dynamic Attractions did confirm that “someone” in Orlando had purchased an SFX coaster at IAAPA which does help fuel this rumour.
At first glance it does appear to have similarities to Escape from Gringotts but we’re thinking that this attraction may well have an indoor and outdoor part to it.
Universal are promising a “new generation thrill ride” so we’ll keep you posted when we learn more…
Smiles included…
Jamie
