If Jim Hill said it would be, then that means there's really absolutely, positively, no chance of that ever happening. That should clear everything up.

People seem awfully worked up about this, to the point of abrasiveness.
I'm not saying it can never expand. But if MoM was the "expansion" they had in mind... There's no reason to connect the two. You can "expand" London without touching the full, and overcrowded DA. It's perfect. The space to expand is outside of DA. FFL itself and all the wasted space around and in front of it.
Yea, I don’t understand the desire to pump MORE people into DA

THE LEAKY CAULDRON IS IN LONDON.
THE LEAKY CAULDRON IS NOT IN DIAGON ALLEY.
WHY ARE WE YELLING?!?

To put this in one package. 1) I am a consumer, not a Comcast employee, TM, or ex TM. Consequently I don't care what things cost as they only care about what I spend. Fair enough?
So what's the most significant thing about DA and Hogsmeade at UOR? What makes them special? I would argue immersion. Probably credited to Rowling. So as you exit DA into the London waterfront are you immersed? No, unless you can't see 200 feet.(Look mom isn't that World Expo and to the right a giant Sideshow Bob?[ mother slaps kid in ear and says look this way]). To imagine an immersive London themed area in front of MOM is reasonable. An exit from DA into an immersive London themed area "on your way" to the MOM is reasonable as well. Another possibility is to extend the London facade to a kind of horseshoe with a "Mummy" like entrance to the MOM attraction. Not very immersive but an option. Clearly at least an entrance though.
Access road at the boat ramp. Solved. Rope and harness storage for painting DA, really?
Ultimately it comes down to the attraction. How big is the footprint? What room is left over?
Totally reasonable suggestion and that's all it is. Sorry some got their kimbies twisted.

I don't understand it either. It isn't necessary, and would be more in keeping with the books that MOM is accessed outside of DA. Having the entrance out in the London waterfront just like the the Hogwart's Express entrance would work better and makes more sense.
Teeeeeechincally Leaky’s address is 1 Diagon Alley, so it is. :tease:
I don’t think MoM will be anything more than a single attraction, so I doubt it would have multiple entrances

Two things. Had a TM come through that door while I waiting for Celestina and they looked alarmed to see me looking through the door. I wonder why they didn't put a sally port there that could be removed if they had to drive through to block the view. Could look like a rock wall.
The other is the entrance to Leaky. There is the sign and door in LOndon and in the movies there was a back entrance that they exited into the alley. I presume that is what we use to enter the restaurant so it could be said to be canon with that explanation. Shaky at best but it is there
All that said there is no way they would put an entrance to MoM from DA. There just is no reason to do so. Extend the facade and drop us in a toilet, phone booth or up a flue. Easy peasy and as there are multiple ways to get into MoM they could use several to give it enough traffic flow.
I believe it's called Dueling Dragons or something like that
