If you really want that spray effect, have the person sitting in front of you have a few hard butterbeers in Hog’s Head. That will hit them halfway through the ride.
It’s been a long time, but the last time I was there, that didn’t happen to me. Must’ve been a malfunction.^^Yes, it does. Recall the scene where Megatron "accidentally" hits a water pipe not long after the first elevator lift.
Glad I'm not the only one who realized the opening flue scene on Forbidden Journey is out of focus. Also the water effects were turned back on last week during my visit at the giant spider and the rocks after it.I have mixed feelings on this. Having been three times, I actually love Diagon Alley, and even enjoy Gringotts. And in this very "Instagram" age, Diagon Alley is basically one giant Instagram opportunity. Selfishly, I'd personally love to see it come here.
But I do see how it takes up a very large space--space that Hollywood doesn't really have as much. So I can see the side of the argument of putting something else instead. And I also understand not wanting to "clone" too much.
But that said, the vast majority of GP don't get to both coasts that often, which is a fair argument to clone. And our Hogsmeade/FJ is not a direct clone... in fact, I'd say it's even improved a bit. So I'd be even more curious to see how they'd "upgrade" Diagon Alley.
Like I said.... mixed feelings.
Some minor points about our Hogsmeade/FJ... gotta give props to the Sons of Durmstrang at the Tri-Wizard show, they've really stepped up their game with their performances lately. As for FJ, it's still in pretty great shape overall, but I still don't really understand why they've never fixed the focus of the opening flue scene, or why they haven't repaired the blue light that shines on the rocks as a better transition to the final screen scene. It's been off for months, and seems it should be a relatively easy fix. :/
Thanks for the update....And welcome to the IU forums. Post often and prosper. :thumbsup::toast:Glad I'm not the only one who realized the opening flue scene on Forbidden Journey is out of focus.

This is fantastic! I'd also like to echo k_peek_2000's sentiment about the Wand Studies show. I'm all for expanding the stuff that my family can experience all together.
Perhaps a question of morbid curiosity, has anyone been able to see any indications of the Wand Studies show from Osaka coming via by looking at the top of Hippogriff's lift while riding the family coaster? That could be a nice way to see whether or not it's happening (along to see if there are any changes being made to the extended switchback for DWT).
EDIT: Here is also an example of the Incendio/Meteololinx Recanto effects possibly coming, given from Osaka.
These types of claims always remind me of the Jack Lemon/Walter Mattheau movie, "The Fortune Cookie".Hmmm...

:agree::thumbsup:What a bunch of BS this article really is. Guy seems like he's looking an opportunity to make some money off Universal.

NLHC (weird acronym) is playing right now. I was there last weekend and they had fireworks at the end of every show. Not a lot, but they were there.Will there be fireworks for “The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle” returning in June? They didn’t have any for when it played earlier this year in March/April. The Christmas show during the holiday season had them with two bursts.
