Its incomprehensible story telling as well. I still have no idea what exactly is going on and whom is after whom or why. Hell Transformer:The Ride makes more sense story wise!

It's easy. Harry sneaks you into the castle, Hermione casts a spell and then something goes wrong. Actually, I couldn't tell you why we end up outside, being chased by a dragon that should only have been there for the Tri-Wizard tournament, and then interrupting a Quidditch match (which would have been cancelled during the Tri-Wizard tournament). All I know is that apparently something went wrong and I benefited from it. I think.
Maybe the dragon just happened to be passing through at that time. Maybe my Wingardium Leviosa was too powerful to contain. Actually, I want to make a complaint. The ex machina employed by JK Rowling are irritating. She introduced items at the start of the book which always factored heavily at the end of the book. Her magical words (ex. Wingardium Leviosa) were normal words made to sound similar to Latin. I realize that the books were written for young adults but some of that was just too contrived.

Its explained in the queue but it’s easy to miss: as part of the Muggle Open House you’re going to attend Professor Binn’s History of Hogwarts class, but the trio sneak in and say watching a quidditch game is more fun and they’ve devised a way to get you there on magical benches. Then everything goes wrong.
The Frog Choir/TriWizard Tournament shows are listed as happening during the Back to Hogwarts Events next week, so it seems like it will be open then

They cut 3d because they didn't want it to look like another 3d ride and then people don't like it anyway. They should suck it up and add 3d back in.
This picture was just posted in the HHN thread and my first thought was how cool it would be if they foamed Hogsmeade for special celebrations. It looks exactly like snow.

Those cobblestones would be like black ice. They had planned for snoap in Hogsmeade and when they tested it they realized the whole land became an ice rink. Reportedly a manager fell on their ass. Never made it to the final product.
Awww... that’s too bad. I wonder why it was any more safe in Toon Lagoon? Perhaps it wasn’t...

Good to see Michael Eisner visiting the parks again
Stop talking about Eisner that way! He gave us the best version of DCA!
So, for the longest time I have been wondering what species of evergreen trees they might have use in the WW. Yesterday I had the thought of checking out Christmas tree farms in Florida. Here is what I found
Sand Pine
Arizona Cypress
Red Cedar
There is one other species of tree they have planted that appears more similar to a fir or spruce tree but I haven’t tracked that one down yet.

Do you know what pines they use out front of Hogwarts...I have checked several nurseries in the area and nobody seems to have themSo, for the longest time I have been wondering what species of evergreen trees they might have use in the WW.

I'm talking about the skinny ones with branches
Well, first off, all trees have branches of some sort. Second, are we talking about pines or something more spruce or fir?
The most common skinny pine in Florida is called a Slash or Longleaf pine. Is this what you are talking about?
I think it would be rare to find Longleaf Pine at a Home Depot but a local nursery should have them or guide you to where to find them. They look like this when young.
Pretty sure he has the same question as you about what the Fir looking ones are. I had the same thoughtWell, first off, all trees have branches of some sort. Second, are we talking about pines or something more spruce or fir?

Yeah, they kind of look like malnourished Fir trees from what I have seen of them. I suppose I must contact a botanist pro to get it figured out.
