Floo network fireplaces to get into the Ministry. Unclear whether that takes you all the way from Paris to London itself (which is possible,) or if there's another transportation method involved before you enter the street leading to the fireplaces (like a Portkey or something).

Fun read Alicia. I wonder if you put those 2 locations in those buildings because you know they are separate rides or do you just speculate that?

As we all know Epic Universe has Worlds, not Lands, so a Wizzarding World would be logical (unlike a Fantastic Beasts and where to find them World). The park will open 2024, probably, by that time we have seen 4 of the 5 FB movies who, if rumors are true, have all different locations in the world and Ministries to show off.
I could see 1 attraction that will take you on a whirlwind trip over the globe as we visit all of them and even some more. Imagine a trackless ride system. You enter from the carnival area in magical Paris (on the right), it's a fun house facade. The 2 large rooms will be large but scaled versions that each could double as 2 ministries of magic. With props coming from the floor or ceiling and projection mapping with added led screens these rooms can change instantly when groups of 3 vehicles roam the side rooms. Not every vehicle will take the same route, not every room will be visited and there are a few different ways the story could go.

The drawing is just that for the idea and not an actual ride. I'd like this.

Ya I’ve always initially thought if it was FB, that the French Ministry ride would head around the world and during the ride we’d get a big scene in a fully fleshed out British Ministry.

I have to think this stays in the FB timeline though, while also giving us an iconic location. All sounds incredible though.

So we have Mario Kart, Frankenstein’s Castle, Berk (Dragons, really), and The Ministry Of Magic as a sell for this new park. Universal should be all set once tourism gets going again

I think this is going to be incredible!!! Only sad thing means no newts case . Wonder if they'll do something for newts case in the theater, or if they'll do more of an original show.

Keep in mind we still have absolutely no idea what the two main attractions will actually consist of. All ideas floating around so far have pretty much just been speculation based on patents, concept art and, well, guesses.

I'm feeling pretty confident in the two settings for the main attractions (or, rather, at least the entrances and queues for them,) but I fully admit that I still have no clue what the rides will be themselves.

The one on the left, the British MoM, seems like it could be a dark ride, because the building is quite large and I believe it has a fairly straightforward load area. The one on the right, the French Ministry, seems like it has much less space to work with, at least going by the footprint, which led some of us to guess some sort of tower attraction. But, it could easily be a flying theater, or even a walk-through, for all we know.

Given how much we actually know about the other lands in the park, not knowing what these attractions will be like is part of the reason why the Wizarding land in EU has been the most intriguing to me. Looks like we might be starting to pin down some of the land details, but the ride systems and story elements are still complete mysteries to me.

Personally, I'd love to have both ministrys in Epic Universe. Not only will it satisfy fans of both franchises, but it would also compliment the other lands pretty well.

I feel having this just be "The Ministries" is honestly quite smart in pleasing all fans, something Disney failed to be able to do with Batuu with connecting the same universe and feels together.

I can't help but feel it'd be weird to have a possible Weasley or Luna led ride and have Newt or young Dumbledore next door. As long as they stick within the same timeline I'm sure their transition to the Ministry will be a treat in itself so I mean this sounds like the ultimate balance, or as much as they could realistically pull off.

Your right on that, Its better to have both the French AND British ministry, than having only the French Ministry. It'll satify both sides of the Harry Potter fanbase, but also the General Public aswell.

Sounds like (potentially) the best of both worlds, really.

I will be bummed if we don't get a bunch of creature animatronics in one of the rides, but the trade-off of getting the proper London Ministry will be worth it.

Anecdotally, this is the first news about this section of the park that has actually made me interested and excited to see it. I'd still like to see the idea of Newt's briefcase, even if it's just a stage show with some animatronics or a walkthrough/photo op ala the Triceratops Encounter.

Im really hoping this is still the FB timeline and we get some Beasts in either Ministry, or on the streets of Paris. But as you said, good tradeoff if it is what it is.

Yeah. The ride system for both of those attractions is anyones guess right now, but I'm going to say the French ministry is going to be a Gringotts style attraction, and the British ministry is going to be a Tower Of Terror style attraction.

There are a lot of issues with the schools JK created beyond the three mentioned in the books, which (hopefully) makes Universal hesitant to touch them.

I’m betting on Beasts being the crux of this show experience, I bet that’d be excellent.

Well, even the main series has serious issues that most people willfully ignore.

They had a really cool puppet theatrical show at BGW back in their early days. Something like that, with the higher technology now available, could be fun.
