Wizarding World: 'Forbidden Journey' ride details revealed?

In a follow-up to the story posted below (link), many are still wondering what the "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" ride at Universal Studios will be. The ride's name was revealed in mid-September, but no other details have been given.

However, a new article from the Orlando Sentinel reveals that Universal may be using very advanced robotic arms to move visitors through the ride:

The Harry Potter attraction, which will be housed in a 15-story replica of Hogwarts Castle, will be a much larger, more lavish experience [compared to a new Disney ride using similar robotic arms].

Universal's ride is also expected to be a type of "robocoaster," in which the robot arms advance along a track even as they swivel riders in various directions. The bases of the robot arms in [Disney's new ride] are fixed in place.

Do you have any theories?
