I wonder if haunted mansion resonate with their core audience the way they fit into American culture. I sensed from the video that there was some culturally relevant theming on the ride.
So this was the inspiration for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure!? Wow, what a fantastic ride! Even tho it is 7 years older than Hagrid's, it still competes on almost the same level. Disney really knocked out of the park with this one
@ryan-uk6jf But it is common knowledge that Expedition Everest was an inspiration for Hagrids, but this one is not only simmilar but also almost identical. It has a tame almost completely horizontal layout, 2 direction changes with one of those being virtually identical to Hagrids spike and many other simmilarities. Hagrids is way better but the inspiration here is clear
@ryan-uk6jf Hagrids was INSPIRED, not a copy. Made roughly 20 years later, of course they'd add new features and elements. It's a mix of Big Grizzly Mountain and Expedition Everest, themed to HP. Universal Creative is full of ex-imagineers who worked on both projects. I'm not offending Hagrids, I'm praising it And about it being common knowledge, it is mentioned in almost every history video about Hagrids
@ryan-uk6jf so name other coaster besides thoses 2 that uses the same kind of layout and different track segments and switches (while being heavily themed) You name it, I wait
@@finned958 it is a lighter version (and probably also the inspiration) of Hagrid's. To me it does a perfect job for what it promisses. If they had more space it could have been more thrilling, but overall I can't complain just by watching the POV. It seens like it lacks force but looks very good as a ride in general
It is, the Hong Kong version of this ride is far better than the version in both Disneyland and Disney World. I used to live a short train trip away from Hong Kong and I'd go to HK Disneyland and it was a great park. I'd ride the single rider lines until I got sick of riding and by that time, the city was starting to really wake up. It's definitely an underrated park IMHO.
