Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

[Vyrus]

What no The two park debate is a great subject to talk about. Sorry for the confusion but I already took care of the issue on the side.

Agreed, its a relevant debate regarding what will happen with this, which I think I may be waaaaayyyyy off as to what my idea would've been for the train..but yea

This debate is something that will be a huge point in the future.

Now what's this about 'future use'?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Some fair arguments have been made about the retirement of the 1 day/1 park ticket. And with prices for admission skyrocketing over the past few years (let alone this year alone) I think Universal can pass the mythical $100 a day mark by saying it's a UNIVERSAL ALL DAY PASS or something like that. Both parks, all of Potter, and then mention additional stuff like 'world class' CityWalk & BMG.

I think that makes A LOT of sense.

But if they do stick with the 1 day/1 park tickets, I think my original plan works pretty well.

Isn't this the reason we are having discussion board issues right now, because of the new members?! :look:

Bless you, this will save me so much time!

So I feel like I could use some feedback whether it be positive or negative from those WHO DO NOT post often. Please chime in if your taking a look and have a question about pictures, locations, requests for future updates and so on. The more I know, the more I can provide you folks. Please if your someone who doesn't normally speak up, do so and let me know what I can do to make things better or answer any questions.

I've been a member to other site and I joined here a few months ago and lurk 2-3 times a day 1-2 hours each and this is the best site for theme park info period.THANK YOU TO ALL THAT CONTRIBUTE

Now I'm a big construction geek and would love to see video of all that crane action especially when the panels are being swung around or the track is being moved into place :drool5:
as far as additional info : If it isn't to much trouble HAHA it is but, how about a water mark what bldg we are looking at maybe along with the orlandounited watermark. If you are a regular visitor here its easy to keep up with the progress and recognize what bldgs they are but others maybe not and as we progress thru construction many more bldg will be going up.

I like to see a walkin thru the street view of the construction walls, basically what does it look like just as you walk into each walled in area. It will give me the feeling I'm there during the construction and can watch the progress and see it from the average "I got no idea what the hell is going on here" park goers point of view.



PS: Take pictures of the beer your drinking so i can drink along at home

I think I don't post often so I'll get this off my chest. The plans posted say that there will be an ollivanders in phase two, so does that mean then the original will get repurposed? Also, will there be any other enhancements to the original before the opening of phase two? ( like more rockwork for FJ perhaps. I also heard that pine tress could be coming to DC as well.)

For those asking questions or giving me feedback thank you I'm at work and will be til LATE! I'm working late for the next 5 nights so bear with me and I will get back with you :thumbs:

What a completely perfect thing, I didn't even know teaser signs were up much less that the ride system was made by Dopplemayer. Great information resource right there, also easy to point repeat questions to the right place. Major props!

From a sporadic poster, a staging shot (no more than 1 or 2) at the beginning of each picture post would be nice. By that I mean a picture of the area near where the photos were taken, maybe a unique angle, beautiful composition, or funny shot of guests being GP. Sometimes construction photos blur together unless you've been looking at them consistently and know the structural differences. Basically a hook for the post giving an idea of where you are that could also be entertaining. Just like theme park storytelling, draw us in to your construction story.

Ok see I like this and would of never thought people were into details like this. Now granted I may not have a chance to do it everytime but I can definitely give this a shot and see how it works in the next update or two.

Love all the pics & the great info. The one thing I would like to see more of is video. And if possible, Birdseye video.:thumbs:

It just so happens a video camera has arrived at my door recently :look:

Instead of a water mark how about a description with each picture of what your looking at, how does that sound? As for the video walk throughs, that shouldn't be a problem, let me just get some practice with the video camera. PS-No problem

Pine trees are a definite for the South Station (BGT420 ) as for rockwork I'm sorry to report I don't think we will ever see more added. Then Ollivanders, well to be honest I'm not sure on that one so I wont even touch it. :thumbs:


If anyone has anymore questions or feedback for me please please please let me know. These are all great recommendations that I would of never thought of. I tend to take the information I've acquired over the years for granted and realize that many are not on the same page, so anything we can do to get everyone on board is welcome.
