Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

I think it's funny that WW in Japan already has a date (2014), even though no construction has started. While we still havent heard about Phase II and the area has already been leveled. It's also funny that the Snow White mine coaster is already being constructed and won't open until 2014.

Those Japanese must be fast builders.

That's probably because USH/USJ are getting a copy of Hogsmead/Hogwarts while USF is getting a whole new land that is still getting the final designs & approval from JK done.

 

[AcidPop]

Wish they would make an announcement already...

 

[Elizabeth.June]

Me too... I don't want to go during all this construction. I would really like to kow how much longer we have to wait ray:

 

[Jymmymack]

Isn't a certain anniversary coming up?

 

[Hatetofly]

If it doesn't happen then, which personally I don't think it will we will have to wait until later in the year.

The X Factor though IMO is if Disney comes out with large scale plans of any type. If they do (doubt it :'() then expect Universal to step in with Potter 2.0 then.

^ Well, DCA is holding the big Cars Land media day on June 14th. IOA also coincidentally closes at 6pm on June 14th for a 'special event'.

 

[Hatetofly]

June 14th is for a private party where the park was rented out by a corporation. As for Cars Land yeah that would be a slap in the face if they announced HP in Hollywood :sneaky: But don't count on Orlando and Hollywood being formally announced for some time.

Possible Gringotts permit:

"Project 7542 Universal Studios" and calls for "foundation layout and details for primary structural system including below grade concrete pits, through wall penetration details and waterproofing details."

 

[AcidPop]

Come ON, Universal. We all KNOW it's gonna happen. MAKE THE :censored: ANNOUNCEMENT!

I'm so excited to hear what the expansion will include. MORE MERCH!

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Technically they HAVE made the announcement, they just haven't released any details yet, and I don't think they should for a while yet...

 

[AcidPop]

Have they officially confirmed the expansion?

 

[BJCool]

^Yes, it was tagged onto the end of the Universal Studios Hollywood announcement. :thumbs:

Technically, the wording was open ended with no specifics as to what would be included or where exactly it would be. They simply said something like, "Yes, there will be an expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando."

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Ya that reminds me, do we really need that silly poll still at the top of this thread since they officially announced the expansion months ago, (because I voted "NO" and it's embarrassing LOL)

 

[JungleSkip]

They said they would be "greatly expanding Orlando's WW"

 

[ReelJustice]

Just to stoke the "PROJECT 7542 UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" is Gringotts fire, the permit was updated and approved today by plumbing. There will be gas lines in addition to the below-grade concrete pits (the really telling feature).

It serves as a reminder to those who doubted the insiders to not doubt the insiders.

Sounds like digging should start soon.

And make me feel very silly each time I see it aha!

Especially when they suggest an insane idea like removing Jaws, building a Potter expansion in another park, and connecting the 2 with a train. :look:
