Harry Potter's Forbidden Forest Roller Coaster at Universal Studios Florida (IOA) theming work continues.
More keeps getting added onto the Harry Potter coaster at Islands of Adventure. Still no official word on the opening date or a name for the new ride, but with cars on the track and theming work ongoing, some other details have begun to emerge.
Bioreconstruct aerials from Twitter show the immense amount of theming being added around the coaster track:

Based on how the trains are wrapped, we can clearly see a high side and a low side, which makes us believe the cars being used are similar to these (below) created by Intamin, although we believe both will be in a seated position instead to speed up load times. The cars may also have different height requirements for each:
