That is correct.... I am not sure it is running up to full capacity yet... I am surprised it is running at all. Thanks for capturing the alley Felipe!
Nice work Stippy!!! I'm going to try your excercise too. You will be happy you made a change for FJ and yourself
Congrats!!!
Thanks for all the pictures Felipe! They're making me even more excited, if that's possible
I know a couple people have been knocking the authenticity and everything (and saying Disney could have done a better job...which frightens me bit) but just from what I've seen, it looks good enough for me. Although, I wish the castle would make more sense in the layout. I understand it's a ride, though, and that not everything works out logically. I think despite any hiccups the place may have, it's going to be heaven on earth for any Harry Potter fan. There are definitely going to be people who scrutinize it, but for most it'll be a dream come true. I know I've been reading for ten years, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry, or come close to it. The designers have truly accomplished something great, based on the pictures and videos I've seen.

Yea, I have a feeling that the queue will be a tad bit dissapointing (but I'll probably still love it), the ride will be amazing (as long as the AAs have movement instead of just strobe flashes, hope what JJ posted about Aragog is just a temp. effect), and I already know my fav part will probably be strolling thru Hogsmeade with all the amazing details. I'm positive that, though Uni. may have cut a few corners, WWoHP will still be a new land to DIE for.
EDIT: I'm still holding out hope that we may see a Basilisk AA since it's probably my favorite creature in all of the HP books. Maybe it just wasn't ready for previews yet?

LOVE the Sewer Grate!!!!! Chamber of Secrets Anyone????? oh, and the architect statue...u kno, the one with the guy holding Hogwarts in his hand? It appears in CoS for, like, a second.
Glad to hear that they are getting their act together in an almost impossibly fast manner. I am also shocked that they were able to open with the magic carpet fully operational from the get go. Perhaps they had no choice with the way this ride functions. Regardless, I am very impressed.
Also, great kudos to Felipe for taking so many images of the less obvious items in the queue. He really out did himself with item after item after item. Just got a chance to review them in detail today. Excellent work Felipe and much thanks!
