That is so disappointing to hear. We really love that coaster. We have a trip coming up in August and now won't have a chance to ride it one more time.

I believe the Barnstormer at the Magic Kingdom has a similar layout.

I read on Screamscape that the Enchanted Oak has also been blocked off - my favorite oasis from the heat at IOA Hopefully this is also temporary due to construction.

Construction continues on 'Harry Potter' attraction, but Universal isn't talking about it -- OrlandoSentinel.com

The Enchanted Oak building, which already looked like a magical, mystical place, is now being rebuilt, presumably to resemble a Hogsmeade establishment such as The Three Broomsticks.

Dang it! The Enchanted Oak was the coolest, darkest, place to relax out of the sun and have a cold beer.
