Future of Dragon Challenge?

[Teebin]

Hmmm... I finally looked into this today, out of morbid curiosity. I got 3-4 years out before anything is torn down if it is torn down, blah blah blah. After Diagon, Kong, and VB I have become seriously jaded. One big and one smaller being pranced about appears to be *yawn* accurate. Sorry that I cannot get invested in it mentally.

So not that exciting huh. Hype cancelled.

 

[Latveria]

Looks like hype is back off the menu boys

 

[Teebin]

Not saying that at all. I am not sure there is any project that would excite me at this point. VB seems the last of my interest for a while.

 

[Teebin]

Goodness, I have to worry about typing in the wee hours as I did above. What a fractured sentence. Simply stated: DH is mostly correct except timeline and surrounding if's that might change plans completely. Concepts now include yet another HP land, one large attraction and one smaller, both under the same banner, all surrounded by a "land".

As said, I am feeling jaded and a bit meh.

If anything, we sure got a rush of fairly specific information in the last day, between Disneyhead & Teebin's info. Previously we were all over the map with speculation. So it seems that now all we need to do is wait to see what the new or actual timeline is. Of course, like all projects before they start construction, plans sometimes change.

Funny how this isn't even a model of the ride. It looks like a model of the park before it was built.

Edit: TB to when this ride was legit.

Based on the hints, it sounds like DC might be replaced by Fantastic Beasts instead of just a Hogsmeade expansion.

 

[Disneyhead]

There are things coming up in FB that we already know about from the Potter books.

Significant events.

I still think that FB will be kept for the new park. Even though it's pretty much guaranteed to be a success, parks just don't take risks any more.

 

[Disneyhead]

Not based on any info, but if I had to guess what new "land" they could add near Hogsmeade, I would guess Godric's Hallow.

And I believe GH is going to play a major part in FB.

I feel Ike rare Harry Potter setting liked this will take the ww to a whole new level.

I have told you all what I wanted and was able to find out... I leave the details to DH now.

 

[Frogki]

Godrics Hollow will be a great place to include, but I hope they keep it distant from Hogsmeade. That village was a fair distance away from Hogwarts and as much as I was in the "It's a theme park, be realistic" crowd when some here argued Diagon Alley would have been too close in Lost Continent, after seeing the success of creating two lands this way I believe Godrics Hollow deserves good placemaking as well...

So in other words, the ball is in his hands now? Or, you passed down that torch?

How many symbolic references I can make is beyond me.

 

[Disneyhead]

Remember, my Godric's Hollow guess is just that. A guess.

Good. Because the forest is all that would make sense in that spot.

 

[Frogki]

One of the coolest aspects of the WWOHP is the absolute placemaking. The immersion is amazing and would have been regardless of where the land was but the placement of Hogsmeade and Diagon just... For me it changed the way I look at the parks.
So adding the Forbidden Forest in Dragon Challenge's spot would be the best addition. Making the experience richer by adding yet another detailed part of the area would be great. I can't think of what rides it would encompass but there are tons of choices and honestly, simply walking through it would be pretty amazing.

Especially if they leave Hagrids hut where it is... at the edge of the forbidden forest.
