No one is hurt by it. Just calling a bad idea a bad idea. None of the rides follow the movies 100% like you imply. Voldemort never chased Harry through Gringotts BTW.

Hmmmm I need to clarify some things...
The picture I showed wasn't of a redwood forest. That's Northern CA. It's from a forest in SoCal.
Wrong again. It's not a national park. Just a regular forest. Oh and technically there are alpine coasters in forests which are fun as hell!
When did I say Florida didn't have any forests?
For this type of attraction, yes. We have a different biome where pine trees dwell. Florida has tropical greenery.
I never made that argument.
When did I say it was filmed in California? All I said was our biome was more conducive to the type of forest depicted in the films.
Not sure why you guys got your panties all up in a bunch for such a harmless comment. Relax.

I wasn’t singling you out - or anyone for that matter.
I’m just saying, even with as much Potter as there is in the parks, there’s so many iconic parts within the canon and the movies that they should prioritize getting as much of it represented as possible within the space they have.

Ahhh yes....it would make no sense to have Fluffy in FJ when he was seen in Hogwarts in the movies.
Yikes.
I think getting the best characters and scenes represented trumps getting every scene, character and creature represented.
By the way....I'm Po'd that they never did an AA Dobby!

The movies changed a lot from the books. Although those who have only seen the movies or those who never been exposed to harry potter can't enjoy the lands for the interactive experience they provide, I can't help but mention, especially with J.K Rowling approving the land, it is more enjoyable for the harry potter fans if the rides introduce aspects of the book more than the movies. This is why it is such a treat that blasted ended skrewts may end up on this ride, since they were not seen in the movie. Although I was a big proponent on Universal's old goal of riding the movies, IOA kind of left that behind.
an AA Dobby would be really cool. That's a missed opportunity so far. Maybe he'll pop up in the new park in some manner.
Spiders are the new Zootopia.
Hell I think they should have a full sized Grawp AA trying to catch the bike on the spike, but y'all arguing over spiders.
If this attraction didn’t look like it was of high quality, then I’d agree. However, it looks like it could rival to be one of the best rides in Orlando.
I agree about Dobby though. He would’ve made for a great AA.

Central Florida is filled with natural pine trees and evergreens.
Roughly how many of the 1,200 total trees do you think have already been planted? Just trying to wrap my head around how many more we can expect and what the finished project will look like.

Yea, I would love to see the most recent aerial shot of all the planted trees. Haven't had much luck though.
Interesting. Can you show me some pics?

Florida Native Pine Trees, Pinus
Travel more than five minutes from Universal, you’re surrounded by pine. Most of the WDW property is pine.

Thanx. I also found some pics online of FL native pines.
Longleaf Pine
Slash Pine
These pine trees would make beautiful Christmas trees!

I think you’ve made your point. This ride isn’t being built in California.
Florida’s version of the forbidden forest will have to make due.
