My post was more towards the people who, even after saying "My sources say it's coming", said it was impossible.

From what I understand the "forbidden journey" will be duplicated in Hollywood. I'm getting this info from themeparkreview on twitter.
I don't recall someone saying it's coming and then changing their mind. Guess I just skipped over those posts.
I still find it very interesting that they are building another Hogwarts in Hollywood since JK initially said she only wanted there to be one Hogwarts. What do you guys think changed her mind?
So I wonder if it'll just be FJ and a few stores/a restaurant?
@zbob....money? I dunno. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed over it. I mean, yeah, it's just business really, but....

Thats a good question. I would assume they would either do hogmede village or diagon ally. They will definitely have an olivanders.
It's not going to be Diagon Alley. I assume that we're getting Hogsmeade and Hogwarts minus the coasters. So really, we're just getting one ride and a bunch of stores.
I hope it is more than money. I have always admired JK and the way she does things and I would be devastated to see her become another George Lucas.
I posted a reply in the other thread, but I'll re-post it here: I think it's three-fold. A) Money, B) she was happy with the initial results, C) it gives fans that wouldn't be able to see it a chance to see it.
UNIVERSAL, Y U NO SHOW CONCEPT ART!?
First Hollywood Drive-In Mini Golf, than Despicable Me: The Ride, and now Potter Phase II? Stop teasing us Universal!

Call me a pessimist, but I'm afraid this whole thing will drastically backfire. I don't know, just have a bad feeling about it. First they expand into Cali, and then they possibly expand into USF...I am a Potter fan but I'm just afraid that Uni. may be overdoing it a bit. Feels kind of like Uni's: "OMFG WE NEED MORE POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!". I understand that from a business perspective it all makes great sense, I just feel like Uni. should tread carefully here. The last thing I want is for all this to come crumbling down around them. Best laid plans of mice and men....
Please don't kill me!!! *hides*

No flaming necessary. It's an understandable assumption. But let's look at it this way. I'm getting a WWoHP out here that I will be attending regularly. When it gets built, I'm even going to buy a season pass. Then guess what I'm going to do?
Save up for a trip to UOR so that I can see the expansion out there. If I'm willing to do this, what do you think Potter FANATICS are going to do?

There was none this time because they weren't ready for an announcement this early. Wasn't supposed to be for another month.

As well as their Facebook. The comments seem to be quite positive so far too.
The only negative comments I see on FB in general are from Europeans furious that STUPID America is getting more Harry Potter stuff when it makes "no sense" because the story took place in England.
:doh:
Why they're mad at Americans is beyond me. Take it up with Rowling. The average American has no say in where a HP theme park is placed. Otherwise, I'd say go ahead and make one in England.
