Ok, interesting.. it's just when I watched the making of Diagon Alley that was on NBC I thought they said it was shot "just outside of London" which to me screams leavesden.
This is the documentary I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9uO-iHd7yk

I had heard that too. I know most of the vehicle testing was done in the soundstages...
There's a website of a company that's been posted here that takes credit for filming these scenes. It was most likely on their property/soundstages, I don't think it was in Orlando. But I could be wrong.

I remember us talking about it being used for Gringotts testing..makes a ton of sense now that the ride is built

I was so happy to see this weekend that the moving screen is back and the fog is more present than ever. Only complaint is that the 45 minute posted wait time was actually over 2 hours.
I recently learned that what you implied here isn't actually the case. While it is true that it was used for Gringotts, it was not used as a green screen for filming any source material for the attraction. It wasn't even the color green when it was used. It was white and somewhat reflective. :thumbsup:

The making of said filming was in London if I'm not mistaken, and made sure to highlight that they used a lot of the same production people for it. So i'm all sorts of confused.
That is what I was further told... that everything with actors was shot in England. Otherwise, that sort of thing doesn't really matter to me. What it was used for, on the other hand, gets my undies all twisted.
Tah Dah! That s**t gets me imagining being there to see them calculating the sync and angles etc. I never saw that video, but that is the truth as it was told to me from within. The screen was used for projecting test versions of current ride video with rough vehicle mocks that moved.
It wasnt a video. I read it. But i beleive someone else here posted this a while back. Its under the TESTING section.

Gringotts was having some flashbacks yesterday, complete with breakdowns. I haven't seen this in a while (sorry, iPhone pictures):
The interior queue changes have been reversed with the switchback in the lobby as well as the little loop around the floor of the spiral staircase up to the loading platform both reverting to their original state.
And I saw this referenced briefly a page or so ago, but it looks like people are scraping off the crackled layer of the paintings. File this under "we can't have nice things" I guess.
The actual ride was flawless though, once it started back up.
