The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[speckles]

I though you all maintained the contract required the whole land had to open at once?

 

[UniversalManiac]

Nope not you buddy you did fine

I tried to put forward a point but my computer froze, What i was basically trying to say is that the screw up (if it was one) today with FJ could cause a problems as i remember hearing that WB want the whole area open and not parts. If FJ isn't ready then we'll just have to wait and see if they open without but would that not be breaching contract?

 

[crazyidea]

i would hate for the first time I ride FJ to wind up in evac mode. But the second time I would LOVE IT!! I want to see this beast and everything it is made of. I feel the programming and the mechanics and timing are all more fascinating than the experience....well at least after you've seen the entire experience.

Ughh, it seems an utter waste to let Hogsmeade stay idle because FJ is THE most advanced ride system on the planet and needs more cycling to smooth it out.

 

[DisFreakBrent]

You know I don't have the contract right in front of me nobody here does but things very well could change & they could be allowed to open everything else without FJ being completely ready. For all we know the contract has a nice loop hole where everything only has to open up together starting on the actual opening day & previews are not included. After all how else would they get away with all these parties & TM previews if everything had to be "open at once". So there is always room for things to change.

That sounds logical, how many AP holders are going tommorow?

I am 99% sure the walls will be down and it will be open, but I'm gonna check here first just to make sure uni didn't do something screwy

A full review of the ride and many more details emerge in the latest edition of Behind The Thrills (podcast)

Well what really intrigues me about all of this is DD/DC, they didn't close the ride except when they really really had to, because it takes two great rides away from the park(which has relatively few), so how is uni going to handle that??? My bet is that starting Saturday ( yes Saturday, because even if package holders arrive tomorrow the check in is not till 1or 3pm in most hotels so, they can't really take advantage of the early acces and the first night you could book was Friday night not today) they will just open the area to all guests. THey may close the shops restaurants and FH and FJ but leave the area open. The other solution may be to close the entire place for a couple of hours and then roll back the fake walls to make the passage to dueling dragons, but I personally don't see the point.

[TSSD]

I know everyone has been good w/ this but can we please remember keep ALL spoilers either invisible or in Vyrus' thread. And Teebin, Is the alley thing going to be working tomorrow?

 

[TheDecemberists]

Why can't they "soft open" hogsmeade now -- and keep it soft open for, idk, for ever! -- and then soft open forbidden journey whenever? are there still some serious kinks to work out in hogsmeade?

 

[crazyidea]

There is nothing left but spoilers to be revealed

Edit: scratch what I said... Let's not jinx this...
