Yes. It just always seemed out of place to me. A long, bare, uninteresting wall. No snow or anything to look at really. I hope they remove it just so you can see everything and make it feel more open
I would be shocked if they removed it. But, I think it'd be sensical if they give it a USH-esque paint job, as right next to their Hogsmeade on the right side; the DreamWorks Theater has a great mural of a forest backdrop.
I would bet money that the tall sound barrier wall is not going anywhere. Why spend money on something that isn’t broken and will in no way harm this attraction. It’s staying and you won’t even notice that it is there once everything is complete.
I don't think Universal is expecting this to get the crowds the two lands had when they opened, so I would be a bit surprised if this didn't have Express on day one/the first week.
I think this ride will end up having the longest waits of all of the resort. Not because it will be new but because it will be VERY re-rideable. This is immersive, thrilling and just plain fun.
Yes to Express line, but may not start with it open at first.
I am interested, would Single Rider be a guarantee? Or would that be held off as-well?
This ride is going to have massive lines whether you think so or not. I'm expecting 3-5 hour waits for this easily. Best thing this ride is going to do is make Forbidden Journey a much shorter wait, which is saying a lot considering FJ eats people for breakfast.
Considering decisions like a moving load walkway and dual drop tracks it certainly looks like they’re taking the guests per hour throughput into account.
Absolutely - they know what they're in for. Considering the fact that it's a big coaster, outdoors, and accessible to 48" and above they've made a smart decision with the continuous load. Just expect tons of downtime and weather delays before you even step into this queue. Lot's of moving parts that will need to get ironed out in it's first few years of operation.

Based on Midway Mayhem's recent video. The structure, even though he thinks it is, will not be the clock tower. You can see from the scale of the windows and how the framing is, you can see it is meant to look like more old part of the castle. I know some will be unhappy about this but I'm glad to see Universal sticking with some things be correct regarding the location of buildings. In technicality, the clock tower should be behind the Hogwarts facade. I do know that Hagrid's hut would be back there too but it's a lot easier to pull off that than a whole part of the castle that is connected to the main one being separate.
Or they could c o v e r t h e h o g w a r t s s h o w b u i l d i n g
