They really do tie everything together. I wish they had kept the extended version of when Draco gets out of bed...where the choir is singing and they show Snape. There is so much foreshadow in that simple scene with Snape. It's beautiful. Too bad it got axed.

Yeah, I really wished they had kept that in, it was my favorite Deleted.

Alan Rickman is simply genius.

By the way, does anyone know if any of the stars have been confirmed for the GO?

Hi, I've seen tribbleorlfl use the abbreviation ee in many of his/her posts and I can't for the life of me figure out what it stands for. Can anyone help clarify for me?

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

Thanks everyone, that makes me feel a lot better seeing as my legs are dangling I'll be able to fit more comfortably, I'm still worried about my head hitting the top part of the bench though :lol:

wow,

the loading Room of Requirement is smaller then I thought.

thought it would double sideed loading in a huge room.
Is just a small rectangler room with one side loading.

I think that was the only thing that was different then I imagined it.


I do belive with some said, that Basiliks is not in the ride, instead just appearing as a skeleton.
maybe someday hope for enchancements. I doubt it tho.

but if that is the case, the story of (the rumor) one that at some point
we are transported back in time thru harrys life is not present.

Instead it is like a spiderman ride, that it is just a full-on adventure we go thru.
no travel back in time stuff to see old things. Basiliks, chess, etc.

but if Aragog is still alive, I guess the time line is true right?
during the Goblet of Fire?

if that was the case, i wish Gary Oldman would speak to us at the fireplace
at the common room (hehe, I wish in my dreams)

I'm not disagreeing with you saying uniformed ee's from other islands are not to walk through WWoHP. I do not have knowledge on this matter one way or the other, but it would be consistent with current practices (ie, no Coca Cola products).

What I am disagreeing on is that this is the impetus for making the bridge permanent. It might be an added benefit, but not the reason. Crowd control is sited in the state filings as well as the 3/25 Theme Park Rangers blog Entry on Orlando Sentinel.com; Dewayne was told by UO Reps during the media tour "That bridge that helps IOA guests bypass the WizWaHaPo construction? It’s staying. Now it will help bypass the logjam." That is not personal speculation, that's documented fact.

In addition, while it's been a few years since I worked there, I was an UO TM for almost 8 years and helped open IOA. I spent a good year or so working on the backside of the park, riding that shuttle to and from work every day. At least half of the shuttle was JP khaki or kitchen crews from Thunder Falls/Pizza Pred (since we'd all open and close roughly the same time). I do not understand why anyone would walk a longer distance through the park when they could walk a shorter distance to the ee shuttle. This is experience and common sense, not speculation.

i think if you can fit into the hulk Then you can DEF you can fit into Fj. i can see maybe if a person is 300+ i could see a problem with only the over the shoulder restraints but sitting in the seat its self no problem. the seats aren't as small as people make them out to be at all.

I think it is an idea stuck between books 3-4 or 4-5. Things that happened to HP that we haven't until now known about. He didn't just play 3 quidditch matches in his entire life. This is in the middle stuff, things that JKR dreamed about... but did not go there in the books.

Sorry, employee (ee). I'm in Group Life and Disability Insurance, now, and use a lot of abbreviations at work (ee being one of them since Group Insurance is for employees).

I say that would make things a lot more clear as to why Dumbledore and Aragog are still alive, the Basilisk having been dead for 2+ years and Voldemort not being there (because he hasn't been reincarnated yet). Would also explain the story of Dragon Challenge and how it is relevant to right now.

Yeah, it seems themed around 3-4...or somewhere about there. Not my personal preference, but it's HP, so it is still amazing...of course, most of my favorite themes of the series come from more of the character development, backstories, and the core plots rather than every bit of action. Still incredible though.
Do we know why Diggory isn't in the queue for DC? I was thinking it may have something to do with the whole Rob Pattinson/Twilight craze, but I would think it wouldn't affect the experience too much.

It is a double-sided load platform. It's just not open between the two. The other side has no belt to assist in longer loading times.

Not true. I have friends that can fit easily on the larger seat on Hulk, Dragons, etc, and failed at the test seat outside Forbidden Journey.
