someone said there was on ride storage (makes sense if load/unload are different areas)
i would assume your flips go there if you have access to it.
i certainly wont be trusting rubber bands for my feet. thats weird.

also im dyng to know - im only few pages back in time so far - but what's the word on house distribution for merch?
what i mean is that for everything available in one "house" ie-gryffindor, are there equivalents available in all "houses"?

im particularly interested in ravenclaw (of course) and hufflepuff

Today they handed out the rubber bands as you enter the Gryffindor common room and check with a flashlight to make sure they were on before you get too far. I don't think any shoes/sandals would fit in the compartments.. maybe real thin flip flops but I'm with ohhelloarthur that there's most likely a safety issue with being barefoot when loading.

I'd hate to lose a toe while boarding, luckily I've always got my trusty green vans!

A little bored so I thought I would share some photos from previous visits to show the scale of this project. I had alot more but our other lap top crashed and I lost about 8-10 months worth of very cool pictures. Hope you enjoy.

okay i finally found the pic of the compartment. technically my foot is as long as my butt is wide, or maybe less so.
(you're welcome for the wealth of info lol) in that case, if my butt takes up the whole seat then my flip flops would have to be bent and shoved in there.
i can't imagine i'm the biggest that can cram into the seat. i've got a large behind (i play roller derby, lots of muscle) but i only weigh like 160. i have to assume people bigger than me can cram into those seats.
so, no.

usually i wear sandals with a heel strap anyway.
plus i am going in winter (haha fl winter anyway) so i will be wearing real shoes to keep my feet from freezing.
yes, i said freezing. i'm a native.

i'm curious though, do you just put the band around your flip flop and over the arch part o your foot?
that seems to make the most sense, but if they want you to put them on in the greenhouse won't they slide off when you walk through the queue?
at the very least it sounds uncomfortable for queue walking.
maybe they dont make you put them on until you board or right before.



i bet someone has already asked this but i havent seen it so far:
has anyone been able to confirm snowing in hogsmeade outside?
i know a while back there was some discussion of the chimney protrusions and angles and whether they were meant to dump snow.
also ellen was snowball fighting in hogsmeade, but then thats to be taken with a grain of salt.
ellen does love the physical gags after all.

The on-ride storage is a tiny cubby in the seat bahind the small of your back.

About the House distribution, it seems all Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins are getting the short end of the stick. :/ There is definetley more Gryffindor merchandise.

I think someone said that someone slipped and hurt themselves while testing the snow, so it was scrapped. I hope not. :/

Hatetofly, that post of before and after shots made me cry. This whole project has been such a huge part of my life for the past two years, and definitely a form of excitement for that extra year. Seeing the crooked chimneys in their natal form reminded me of the older days of this thread back in the Part 1, and all of the intense speculation that went on in here, which even caused conflicts. And SAS, boy was that quite a rupture in the belly, haha. And Disneyhead's and BriMan's intense helicopter shoots that made me die for the first time, even if I never posted that I did, haha. And the countless discussions we had regarding when this beast would finally open it's gates and let us in for soft openings.
You guys, this has been a most enjoyable experience, especially after being able to make close amnesties here. I moved here from IOACentral, and never went back because of this thread. So, my fellow muggles, THANK YOU! I love you all.

I just died. XD

Now, I won't be returning till I get in. This time fo' sho'! Haha. :D
