Just something interesting I saw today while browsing Uncrate...

There is a bar in Madrid that imitates the interior of a train car and includes screens as windows that display video as if the 'train' is moving. This is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ThePassengerMadrid

I wonder how convincing it looks and how similar it might be to what the Hogwarts Express is getting.

Here's a vid I found:

For an internet Youtube video, and I'm also assuming it's a stationary restaurant, it looks pretty comvincing. I can only imagine that with Uni's budget and take on the technology that we will be getting the real deal. I can't see us being dissapointed. :dance: <--- My Weird Sisters dance

Yeah not even close

For the life of me I can't figure out how this will work. Will it be 3D somehow? Will it be a tunnel of screens which you look out to like originally rumored?

And doesn't the trains exterior have windows? How are they going to include the decorative exterior and the tech interior?

Yeah not even close

Hey HTF any neat details you can share about Hogwarts Express that maybe we haven't heard yet?! or maybe some hints?

 

[Mr.Auror]

I am hoping it will not be seen from within the parks and also that one will not be able to see out of the train's windows to the real Florida. Friggin YUCK!

That's not at all what I meant. I'm saying if you have windows, by definition, work looking in and out. So how does one accomplish this when you have a screen on the inside? Considering, as I remember it was stated, that there was no fake exterior model and that one would look at the same train they were riding.

[ReelJustice]

First off, thanks HTF

Second, I saw the bars at the entrance to the arches and looked at Kings Cross and they both have 5 bars

Third, that is definitely Wyndham Theatre.

Fourth, they've been busy!
