Studio Tour

Could be Diagon Alley.

I'm pretty sure Diagon Alley is going in the old HoH location.

I thought that's where King Kong V2 was going!

 

[Allen The Actor]

Psht....pretty sure House of Curious ET To The Future: Battle Across Time is going in that spot.

I am dying.

 

[Freak]

I don't see Diagon happening. I just don't. Keep it over there. Looks cool, but we only have so much space.

Oh trust me we all know. It's a long running USH Forums joke to say something is where Diagon Alley is being built.

 

[Jon Fu]

I don't see Diagon happening.

I'd be curious to see whether or not this is truly the case in ten years.

Halloween Horror Nights construction near psycho house maybe.?

 

[Allen The Actor]

They wouldn't be working on HHN in May...

 

[William]

HHN construction starts next month at the earliest.

Florida already has maze walls up. Wouldn't be surprised if we started early as well. At the same time I don't think the structure being built will be used for HHN.

If I'm not mistaken, Florida's HHN construction usually starts earlier than Hollywood's. In addition, John Murdy has stated on Twitter recently that he hopes to begin maze construction next month.

Murdy stated today that he's working on terror tram

Appears to be a retaining wall being built near the warehouse across from Bates Motel.

 

[Alexshow.]

That's actually a good move. Extra blockage of possible noise coming from F&F and the Nighttime tours.

 

[JPLA]

I think this is a new Gate A sign.  I don't see any evidence of a dedicated line all the way to loading area so this sign is probably somewhat confusing to unfamiliar guests.

So I saw on twitter that the Jeep used in Jurassic World is now on the studio tour:

Aha yup! The studio tour spoiled the movie for me the other day. I was at the park before the first showing on the 11th, and I saw the Jeep and I'm like "why does that say Jurassic World, that's a Jurassic Park jeep." To quote Gru, I went "Light Buuuuulb."

Several things I noticed on the Supercharged preview today.  Some nice vehicles near the metro sets.  Either related to upcoming Supercharged portions of tour or perhaps they belonged to folks shooting on the sets.  Portion of the sets was dressed for something.  I think they had been filming Friday night.

The Charger is definitely part of the new Supercharged material added to the tour.  Since our express tram went the wrong way we got to experience this portion.  We had a good guide.  After we see the Charger tram security comes on the monitor with instructions for the driver and guide.  I worry that some of the weaker ones won't sell the performance well.

Retaining wall progressing.

Fairly busy day so they tried out the return time system.

When the lower loading area got clogged staff would halt the crowd on the bridge from going down the stairs or escalator until space cleared.  A teeny tiny glimpse of what the park will be like when Potter opens.  Honestly, this wasn't even that busy a day but it underscored just one of the many crowd flow problems at USH: People entering who require the elevator have to cross the exiting crowd.  Flow in all directions is affected by this bad traffic pattern. 

 

[Allen The Actor]

The Lamborghini and G550 Wagon aren't related to Supercharged It's for a different production that was filming for quite a few days.

And yeah, the park is going to be absolute chaos next year...
