Earlier today, we promised you a Project 722 update.  Well, wait no further Muggles – the owls are here.

Scaffolding inside the Gringott’s Bank show building, behind the scaffold will be one of the attractions signature elements.

The Owl that brought us this news about the  Borgin and Burkes attraction has given us  a few more secrets that we’ll reveal over the coming weeks .   This week is all about Gringott’s Bank.  Here’s the news:

” …We’ve heard plenty of rumors about the Gringott’s attraction and what elements will be included in the experience.  One of the first rumors was the drop-track section of the ride.   It’s an element that was incorporated into a few other coasters.  We’ll be utilizing it to. So that rumor is accurate.  Of course, we’ll be styling the element slightly to fit our story – the whole train free-fall will be the same.  And, even though I’m not going to spoil the secret of how, the KUKA technology will be utilized.   We are proud to say it’s a one-of-a-kind experience for our guests. “

These pieces of track are likely to become Gringott’s duel loading station.

The coasters that feature the free-fall element are Verbolton at Busch Gardens, and Thirteen at Alton Towers.  If you’d like to see the element in practice, skip to 1:07 of this video:
