New thrill ride coming to Hogsmeade
According to a blog posting by Universal Orlando Resort, a new generation of thrill ride is coming to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in 2019. It promises to take guests deeper into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where they will encounter some of their favourite characters and creatures (but not necessarily Harry Potter). The new attraction will be one of the most highly-themed coaster experiences Universal has created. It is said to “combine a new level of storytelling with an action-packed adventure…and a few surprises along the way.” Dragon Challenge, the two-sided, intertwined, inverted B&M coasters that was part of Islands of Adventures’ grand opening in 1999, will be closed to make way for this all-new ride. The last day of operation was September 4.
First Sky Trail aboard a MSC cruise ship
Ropes Courses, Inc. has worked with WhiteWater West Industries ltd. to supply an MSC cruise ship with a Sky Trail ropes course. MSC Cruises began working with Ropes Courses, Inc.’s partner, WhiteWater West Industries Ltd., on the purchase of a Sky Trail Expedition ropes course in 2015. The course was fully designed, engineered and fabricated at Ropes Courses, Inc.’s plant in Allegan, Michigan before it’s 2017 installation on the brand new MSC Meraviglia cruise ship. The Sky Trail Expedition is named ‘Himalayan Bridge’ and is made up of 12 poles and two linear paths of elements that can support 30 participants at any given time. The course is suspended over a portion of the Polar Aqua Park and rear sundeck. It’s linear design and circular system entices participants to traverse through each of the 12 elements before returning to the starting point. Participants balance on elements nearly 200 feet above sea level for the ultimate wow experience aboard a cruise ship. “We’re very excited to have played a part in such a magnificent ocean vessel.
It’s a tremendous feeling to know Sky Trail ropes courses can deliver thrills to families across the world in a variety of environments, including the MSC Meraviglia,” explained Marissa Ticknor, Ropes Courses, Inc. sales manager.
