Jymmymack they were real it was part of a package of stuff sent to some of the travel folks hotel rooms. But I could have been BSed about it so I will wait for a actual trusted source to confirm any of the items

They were posted on here a while back (that's what I quoted from), but what I wanted to know was if anyone actually bought them or saw them in Honeydukes. I haven't seen them in any pictures or anything.

Jymmymack they were real. from what I hear it was part of a package of stuff sent to some of the travel folks hotel rooms

Does that mean they aren't available for purchase?

No everything should be available I just can't personally say I saw it in the store. But apparently a bunch of these goody boxes were sent to hotel rooms of the people in town for the travel parties & also prob. got some pumpkin juice sent to them as well with the candy.

Check out these ride spoilers I found on twitter! I can't wait to ride, like, OMG!

westcoasternet: The whole sequence where you get possessed by Voldemort and thrash around a bit was kind of rough. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

ScottSmitty: Man, Harry Potter was so AWESOME! I especially loved when Optimus Prime came in and him and Harry fought King Kong. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

birdonaline: [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG] Rode Forbidden Journey! Don't want to give it all away, but we flew over San Francisco on broomsticks!

wdwnt: Rode Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, ride has Doc Octopus & Green Goblin trying to shoot down guests on broomsticks [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

MMonkeyoverlord: I didn't understand the section of Forbidden Journey where hagrid was beating harry with his broom [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

wdwnt: Rode Harry Potter, KUKA arm suspends you as giant ape tries to swat you down. Took picture in Harry Potter's hand at the exit. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

coasterrumors: Sorry, but FJ shut down today cause we peed our pants. Guy next to us was grunting like he was making a...different mess. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

scooterb23: I was very confused by the ride scene where Ferris Bueller's dad walked through the door, and a bright white light shone [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

People need to laugh a bit more around here!

so is anybody else feeling a little down and worried after seeing those clear closeups of the FJ test seats. they look like Dueling dragon size but are so close together...

Who is saying it broke down....
Maybe they found something they really liked to change during TM preview.
And Briman informed us about "unexpected" crowds at FJ today, while Universal only wanted to show it to Virgin Employees.

My sources say that information was completely incorrect, and this day was always about the breakfast vacation package people.

Your thighs touch the other persons thighs. Their is no separation between 2 people. What is the point of a kuka arm if it doesn't go upside down. i know that is has a wide range of motion but.... whatever

That's exactly what I said about FotH. What's the point of a kiddie coaster if it doesn't go upside down? Oh, wait...

Just because it doesn't go upside down doesn't mean that it is useless to use the technology. This can turn you, whip you, elevate you, drop you, move you close to things and lay you on your back.

You're right! Frog choir video is compressing right now. Then the Dragon Challenge queue will be next. However, I will warn you that it is VERY dark in there so video was tough. It won't be as good as the other videos I've posted. And honestly, while the queue was nice, I liked the old fire, ice, and skeleton-filled Dueling Dragons queue better. The new one lacks mystique.

Your updates have been amazing. Thank you soooo much =)

Not me. What alot of americans dont realize is that we are overweight...period. When rides and accomodations are being designed, they are being designed with the average rider size in mind not to fix the largest person that may want to ride. I know its kinda hurtful if someone cant fit in the seat but most people who are overweight can fix it. With the ride system and cars it seems universal wanted to be minimal as possible to give you the feel that you could be flying one minute and running the next minute. That would be hard with lap bars and a floor, in my opinion.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but the fat people pay the same entrance fee as the "normal" people so they should have the same privileges. Im not overweight, im just built and i might be tight. soooo..... idk

The same can be said for height challanged adults...I dont think its an issue of paying the same amount as normal people. Lots of rides I cant ride cause im too tall. Granted they are basically kiddie rides but I wont make the arguement "I paid the same price" so accomodate me. I havent been denied a ride before and im 5'8" 200lbs. Would I be crushed that I cant ride, nope not at all. Theres always spiderman lol...

Agreed. Although I'm 14, I'm 5'10" and 155 pounds. I desperately hope they won't say anything. If not I'll crouch or something.
