I will say, I'm still disappointed we never got another announcement like this

That was awesome, I've never seen that before.

If only Universal had a new lagoon show launching soon that they could do something similar with

I mean they only did that once in the entire time they had CineSpec running, so I don't think they'd do it for the Potter coaster either way

Would also be confusing to announce a ride for a different park.

I really hope we eventually get something like that again, as it's an amazing use of what they already had.

I remember being there for this. It was honestly one of my favorite moments at any of the parks!

Nvm.

Is there any sign in Hogsmeade that this is being built? What I mean by this is that Guardians has this:

F&F had this:

Or would a sign like this go against the highly themed area in Hogsmeade or are they waiting for an official announcement with a name instead of just throwing a sign out saying: Name to be announced Harry Potter roller coaster coming summer 2019.

They'll have a name and announcement ready on OPENING day of the ride. ....or two weeks after

Is it unusual to have a reference to MoM on such a sign?

All of the construction signs, notices, and even ride warnings have had the MoM logo on them since Hogsmeade opened.

(Reminds me of when Umbridge took over and posted all those notices and rules!)

I don’t know why I didn’t search for this until after I posted the question. Got some serious work fatigue setting in this week.

Just a post for thought. Although they weren’t going to expand Hogsmeade, IMPO they should have opened up that small alley way in between the DC wall and the owlery. It kind of evens out that section and wouldn’t have taken much work to do.

Edit: it would just have taken up a part of the DC outdoor queue and would have allowed for more breathing space.

Would be nice, but all rumors point to no...It would at least be nice if you could cut through behind Olivanders, and if the JP bridge had a bypass to go around everyone taking pictures

I love IOA, but everything is so much tighter than USF

Photo from like, 2008? 2009?

OMG Universal has been teasing MoM since 2009. It's taken longer than Pandora now... C'mon Universal

Dan's new video shows the launch segments in close up. Watch with sound on for context. Interesting to see the little launch before the spike for the first time.

I love that we can see this thing progress, and most of it isn't in a show building so it's easier to see

The video, at the end, shows the facial recognition apparatus, in the Transformers line, they're using for Hotel Express passes. Midway guesses they're for single day Express passes, but they're actually being used for the Hotel Express passes that are once again now your hotel room key card. That stops the fraudulent uses of the passes that were previously occurring when they utilized the hotel key card in the past. The original reason they had the special photo paper hotel Express passes for 4 or 5 years, to prevent fraudulent use. ..The system seemed to work well, but since it requires more time than the previous hand held scanners, it sometimes creates a bottleneck if a large number of people, with hotel express, enter the line simultaneously.
