Well....as if it wasn't already obvious that I'm gonna go absolutely broke inside the Wizarding World...and now I'm gonna have to get every interactive wand?!?!
I don't know that it was mentioned in any official press releases. It's just been confirmed by reputable sources.Where was the official announcement of interactive wands?
I'd assume we'll be getting the same ones from Orlando, and maybe an additional spot or two since it appears we'll be able to access more of Hogsmeade in Hollywood than in Japan and Florida.Does anyone know if there will be new interactions in our USH version? Or will we have the same ones from Orlando?
My thoughts exactly.I think we might see some additional interactive spots near the two new buildings in-between the Owlry and Shrek 4D.
There's a path behind the buildings? To create a better traffic flow?My thoughts exactly.
We should also keep in mind that we'll be able to explore a portion of Hogsmeade inaccessible in USF and USJ: the area behind The Three Broomsticks, Ollivanders, and Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment. While large portions of this space seem to be going toward the FJ queue and patio seating, this brings up the possibility of more interactive wand spots (and also more of the village to enjoy).
Interesting to hear.Ugh... feels like forever since I've been on here. Been busy these past 2 weeks (as well as dead to the world lol)... Anyway, thought you'd all like to know that scenic install has been going on in full force the past week or so within Hogsmeade & Forbidden Journey. Everything is getting its props installed & set dressing. Apparently its all looking good.
- They have a crew working on the FJ/Hippo courtyard right now (today).
- Hippogriff has a different head & seats than its FL counterpart. (told this today, have yet to see a pic)
As for when WWOHP will be ready?... I was told it will be ready by December (2nd time I've heard this this week). They are months ahead of schedule than where they're supposed to be. However it wasn't expected to be ready until next year, so all operating costs were figured into next year's budget. So we'll see what happens.
With the current state of the road construction on the hill and the new ET parking garage not done yet, I wouldn't hold my breath for a 2015 (soft)opening. However, if those get completed within the next month & a half, anything is possible I guess.
It would be great to have butterbeer during Grinchmas... or even, warm butterbeer.
