The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[crazyidea]

But lots of children LOVE harry potter, and won't care honestly..Children are so desensitized that even if this scares them, it won't be nightmare worthy. I'm sure they will want to ride it again. But even with a somewhat tall height requirement, my brother is 6 and he could almost ride it, kids are tall enough to do it and 6 is pretty young if you ask me he should be tall enough by christmas. So more like 7 but still.

--- Update ---

Oh great...being spoiler free, this is spoilish but I'll probably forget this post by the time my vacation reaches. I will wet my pants.

maybe don't read? as most of us don't mind. jk i mean...i know what you mean, I dont want to ruin it but at the same time i can't resist

kudos on the height requirement crazy.

even my eight year old sister (tiny) can ride the hulk and I belive the Hulk has the largest height requirement.

kudos on the height requirement crazy.

thank you. Also i get the argument that there isn't much family-style stuff. But of course as rides get bigger and scarier the thinngs that look frightening today will be the warm-ups for tomorrow. FJ will probably start out as "to hot for the hot tub" but will eventually become Space Mountain.

I cant imagine all the kids walking off the ride sobbing and crying "the black robed thing and those stupid spiders scared me!"

 

[crazyidea]

I think the majority of the reactions will be sheer enthusiasm..like "Oh MY GOODNESS that was SO AWESOME" like me when i rode Spider Man

 

[Cody F.]

I cant wait to ride it!

Remember there is a height requirement. Small children aren't riding.

Yeah but 48 inches is like a six year old, still very young

 

[Cody F.]

Definitley!

 

[speckles]

My daughter is six and towers over that level by a few inches, tried her on the movies, she did find them scary. Happy with all the teenie stuff...just too dark for her by a couple of years me thinks.

A friend was telling me about her sister freaking out on Star Tours because she thought they were really in outer space... I wish i was so naive as to think that everything happening at Uni or Disney were real. Talk about immersive !!

 

[speckles]

yeah mind blowing to go back in time....

 

[Cody F.]

Three on a kuka is not very many people. There must be a ton of vehichles to make the line go quickly!

My youngest son is only 5 and he is already over the height requirement but that doesn't mean he is ready for FJ. I'll have to see how it is with my oldest and go from there. He love everything Harry Potter but there are some things I'm just not ready for him to experience yet.

4 to a KUKA and roughly 47 ride vehicles so, yeah it's pretty crazy

 

[Cody F.]

Me and my brother will have to see how scary it is.

 

[Jmaff]

This ride is going to be bad for anyone with arachnophobia, me included. If this huge so called Aragog actually creeps towards the vehicle and I mean close(a couple feet away )...I will freak the fudge out! And my brother will be worse.

Anyone have arachnophobia here?

 

[Cody F.]

I definitley do not like spiders (who is that in your avatar jmaff?

 

[crazyidea]

what if we encounter Dementors with fog being pumped from behind the vehicle somewhere and then the dementors have like a vacuum mouth that pulls the fog towards it and when lit properly you see the trail from you to the mouth ? I think that would be cool, as would the other *thing* that they wanted to do.

 

[Cody F.]

I just cant see anything getting within hands reach during the ride.

 

[crazyidea]

^ no I'm assuming in my fantasy world that this vacuum is very strong.

Also if they build the dementors to be bigger than they are in real life they can look like they're closer than they actually are especially if you can't see the ground or ceiling for reference
