Or

Yeah I assumed that was the one everyone was talking about. It's iconic, fits the setting of the ride, and is used frequently in the films.

Do you have any idea what that concrete form near the opening in the station is for? Could it be for closing up the hole?

I don't know why that image appeared, I linked to the wiki page in the post.

Certain lenses make things look closer and therefore bigger than they are in real life...I think we're getting our eyes tricked

I noticed that today. Is that the high school football field behind Universal? Trees in the foreground will help with that.

Edit:
Looks like most/all track is installed.

Yes, you can also see it across the lagoon when you first enter the park, and when you are right across from Hippogriff...Bothered me for years

I am surprised to see a truck crane on site when they have the two towers. Perhaps it is there to dismantle one?

I believe they were using the truck crane to install some supports and maybe some track that was in harder to reach spots.

Some higher res pics of the beam!

From this angle it looks like they are going to hide that hill.
Anyway, it's big and tall and I love it.

I would kill to go to that high school. Must be nice having a mall, two theme parks, and a water-park right next door :drool:

It looks like they're going to build a structure around it! :freak:

Knowing me in high school, I would have gone after school to CityWalk

If the name is excessively long, people will just call it what they want. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts = Gringotts. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey = The Castle ride. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter = Harry Potter Land.

I'm betting people will end up calling this the Forbidden Forest coaster. Personally, I'm going to call it Dragon Burial Grounds, but that's just me.

They should just call "Potter Coaster"
