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

[giant4203]

Try working in a park and grouping a party of 150 brazilians...standing in line with them is the easy part.

I feel your pain...back in the day I worked at Rock n Rollercoaster...that and cheerleading groups....*facepalm*

Too many spoilers in this thread. Sounds like it's a movie ride with extra effects and some animatronics. Looking forward to it.

Sorry this has taken so long... Ok, the first batch of pics is up on my Photobucket right here: http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c389/Felipe89/WWoHP 05-29-2010/?start=all

Right now I'm uploading some more pics from another camera (not as good as these--they're from the first time I went around FJ where I was being rushed by the crowds), also the pics of the merch I bought, and some small videos. But in that album there's a lot to look at for now. My report will probably be up really late tonight or tomorrow. Sorry again for keeping you guys waiting, but today some stuff came up and I couldn't devote so much time to this.

You're fine Felipe! Thanks for the pics so far!

Very nice pics! I already see a few more items to add to my want list. Keychains, magnets, lanyards.

Does anyone know what this is? I'm drawing a blank. Or what movie its from?

 

[Felipe]

You're welcome! Ok, refresh my link because I've organized them so that now they show up in chronological order... Before they were showing from last to first :-S

Great pictures! The queue is so vast and detailed. Quick question though, how long would you say the queue actually is?

Well today was a fun one at IoA. I don't have the package so of course I was turned away at the gate. It was horrible, because the gate was wide open and all day I was people with WW bags and pumpkin juice sticking out of their bags! :'(

The TM that turned me away said for AP holders to keep checking their e-mail.

Anyway, all I can really say on this subject is that DD opened in the afternoon and was a walk on. I suppose they're doing it for the package people who didn't get to ride DC. Also, the temp walls were placed very poorly, so peeking through wide gaps at Hogsmeade/warts was quite easy.

Spoilers ahead. Highlight to read.

all i have to say is i expected too much from forbidden journey, but nothing like i thought it would be. better then spiderman yes. but not what i thought it would be... i had to say the dragon and aragog really left me disappointed.
I do not remember seeing a snake. but the DARK MARK was sexy. Dementor effect could have been better.

I wanted to go tomorrow but am staying away cause I don't want to face that dissapointment

Im really hoping for new news in that front and that it really doesn't stay this way till the opening

What is going on the HD broadcast of HBP on TV tonight? The scenes are extended.. ala Peter Jackson style. Was this something that was promised?

Ummm.. it's really hard to tell, and it will all depend on the crowds and how fast the crowds move. When I went for the first time, we were all walking in a fast pace. When I went later on, it was empty and it took me right around 25 minutes including taking time for pictures, watching the both musion presentations, and a 1-minute meet and greet with Alan Guilmore and Mark Woodbury My camera's "clock" is wrong, but anyways, it says the first pic was taken at 9:51 PM and the last one looking at the stairs going down to Filch's was taken at 10:15 PM. So 24 minutes in those circumstances.

Needless to say, I'll be checking it regularly. I hope we get some form of a preview...I know I was under the impression we'd get some perks when I bought it...but if not, cool. I can hold out a couple more weeks...I think!

For anyone who has ridden...what's the situation with your feet? Are your legs dangling or there's a platform below the seat?

Ralph-- I've not ridden it, but your feet dangle.

[King_K.]

I've heard that your feet are dangling.

Looking at the on-ride photos and the pic of the loading station, your feet do dangle.
