Forbidden Journey Refurbishment (Update: Early Dec)

[Brian G.]

Let this be a reminder of the craziness of rumors.

No one ever mentioned 3-D, yet this is what came out of "short refurb, looks like a locker fix".

To quote Ron Burgundy, "I don't believe you."

Remember, Transformers was never,ever,ever,ever,ever coming to UOR according to UC until 2 months later when it was.

I'm sure it will eventually, just not with the May refurb.

I'm glad that 3D isn't coming as Ive always felt a bit sick after riding it and the 3D might just be the straw that breaks the donkey's back. An upgrade to the screens would be most welcome though.

I've started watching Harry Potter today in exchange for my wife watching Star Wars so I wonder how much I'll take in and appreciate the lands that bit more.

 

[Imperius]

Don't care for the 3D upgrade, but I really hope to get a dementor upgrade sooner or later.

I recently made my wife watch the original Trilogy in anticipation of seeing EP7.
I'm not sure our marriage is strong enough to make her watch the Prequels though...

I was going to suggest watching the prequels as the 7 Star Wars films would fit in between the 8 HP films but I don't think I could subject her to it or myself for that matter.

I'm actually enjoying HP more than I would have thought. Part of me thinks that I'm forcing myself to enjoy it so I'll appreciate the parks more.

Even if you're not a fan of the story, the production design of the HP films is amazing.

I'm actually amazed by how big and complex the world they've created in it from even the first hour.

 

[Mike S]

That sucks

 

[MillenniumDragons]

Biggest cluster of the year award , for the 7th straight year is
*drum roll*
The locker area for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!
Please, for the love of the boy wizard, fix this debacle.

Thank goodness no 3-D for a while longer.

If you've not been and like the production side, get down to the Studio Tour at Leavesden, I really enjoyed it

 

[deathcab4cutie]

also if the stories are true Rowling is so strict about the ww that she made them change the color of the grass because it was outta season for the time that hogsmede is suppose to be in.

I don't bring a bag either, but I sometime still have to navigate the cluster entering and exiting the ride.

The designer that designed that must have been spiking his butter beer with triple shots of firewater, while he worked on the plans. :ack:

Funny that in a conversation today, Gringotts came up as a reason why the 10 day closure might not happen. Then this happens...
OFD: Guests evacuated from Gringotts ride at Universal Studios

Talk about timing.Gringotts, I would think, always has the potential for a shutdown, since its so darn complicated and touchy......With all of this capacity down (Hulk, Disaster, Twister, BJ), it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to close a major capacity E ticket down for non essential work (lockers). You would think they'd wait for the week after Labor Day, or after Fallon's open.

I haven't heard a peep about this since so I'm not sure what to think.
