Hey guys. Been watching the thread for a long time. Pretty exciting stuff!
I had a thought in regards to a Hogwarts Express connecting the two parks, if that ends up being the case. At first, I thought it sounded awfully boring, but I've warmed to the idea. As to concerns about creating a King Kong-style 3D video tunnel for such a long distance, couldn't they simply have two shorter tunnels with screens at either end of the track? The first could show us leaving London and heading into the countryside, then entering a train tunnel. The actual transportation from US to IOA could all be enclosed in a dark tunnel, during which there could be voice-over and even in-car effects, then upon reaching IOA, we come out of the tunnel and into an epic 3D Scottish Highlands environment. They could easily make it look like the train is traveling much faster and much farther that it is on both ends. And obviously vice versa, for the return trip.
