Thanks for the photos Bob. Looks like they found high gear!Only shot I could get of Hogsmead Station work.
Great update.
Is it just me, or does the entrance to the area seem to have visually disappeared? (As it should.) I was having a hard time even finding it in those photos.
Makes me realize how revolutionary and ba-,...gutsy, it is to build an entirely new land, what will arguably be the new flagship of the park, and completely hide it behind facades! All to preserve the integrity of the incredible moment when you walk through the "secret" entrance and are smacked in the face by staggering awesome.
Quick question… Are we sure they're using King's Cross's actual exterior instead? I'm wondering what that'll seem like to people who, like me, didn't know that wasn't King's Cross in the movie. I have to admit not using St. Pancras kinda disappoints me if that's true…
That's insane! You, sir, must be some kind of superhero to work both of those jobs. Good to see you posting though! :thumbs:
Awesome update, Bob! Quick question though: does anybody know what the hell those little things are on top of King's Cross? Is that just a feature of the architecture?
The top of the Kings Cross skylight is actually pointed if you look in reality
or you can see better here.

Maybe it's that? Just a guess.
Am I the only person who dislikes Harry Potter? Is there any real need to have this much Harry Potter related stuff in on area. I don't think the should have the same themed area in two different parks to be honest. I would of much preferred something else to be built instead of Harry Potter.

Thanks for the awesome pics, Bob! :thumbs:
I'm sure you're not the only one who dislikes HP, but I must say you are largely outnumbered They don't need to add a second park within the same resort, but it's the best business decision they can make. Harry Potter has been Universal's savior, the chicken that lays golden eggs, the biggest cash cow...so, they're gonna milk that cash cow for all they can. Just like Scholastic (USA book publisher), Bloomsburry (UK publisher), Warner Brothers (movie makers) did and continues to do with all the movies, merchandise, a million different versions and editions of the books and movies, etc. and that we, the fans, continue to buy
At least we can thank Universal for trying to bring more diversity with things like the new Transformers ride that is coming, which is another new thing for the resort, and increases the total ride count. Also more quantity and quality all around the resort, like we're seeing with Simpsons, and like we will likely see in Jurassic park, and all that is yet to come and still unknown :thumbs:
You make some good points. I would love to see additions to Jurassic Park.
Kings Cross looks awfully short in length, do you think they will create some sort of illusion of depth to make it seem more grand inside?

Anyways, I was at USF Friday night for a little bit, and I did get a couple pics of London work with a little help of the fireworks These are obviously not the best pics, but something different:
