As a theme park fan, cool.

As a Potter fan, I'm not really all that cool with this.

One thing that will really set this above Mummy and any other dark coaster is that it's going to really immerse you even when you're moving fast. Mummy can only do so much since you're in a room with a lot of track surrounding you, in this each piece of track will be able to have incredible theming surrounding it making you feel like you're really in the Gringotts caverns. And not to mention all the super duper extra spectacular effects going into it.

From WhyLightBulb:

Universal, despite all the wonderful things happening now, is not at all immune from this poisonous thinking. Trust me when I say Creative Studios is a mess! If it weren't for J.K. and Warner Brothers Potter phase one would have ended up quite mediocre and Potter Phase two would possibly be worse. The only reason Phase two will be freakin AMAZING is solely because of J.K. and WB in spite of UC. Here's one example for you: recently all the video servers and associated hardware had been designed and ordered and equipment delivered for the Hogwarts Express. Millions of dollars in equipment and design labor. Before all this UC management was asked if they wanted the show critical video to be 30 frames per second or 60 frames per second. To save money they of course went with the 30 frames against the strong recommendations from designers. The difference in quality is huge! When J.K. found out about it she insisted they go to the 60. So now hundreds of thousands more will be spent to redesign and reorder and even more to upgrade equipment. That's the kind of quality control going on there...something that WDW does not have and something that will put Universal on top in terms of immersive experiences in Orlando. Yes they'll go over budget but it will pay off for them and their brand will strengthen. Now let's compare Per Capita spending and attendance increase percentages of the two companies. Hello Disney is anyone there?

Increased frame rate is awesome, I saw Part 1 of the Hobbit in 48fps and it was just so fluid. 60 frames per second is the format that James Cameron wants Avatar 2 to be filmed at, the amount of action they can have with a higher frame rate is amazing; I can just imagine the Dementors and weird-non-canon-Death-Eater-black-smoke-apparition whizzing past the abruptly halted HE.

I am really glad JK Rowling and WB have been honest and direct with Universal; the original plans of Hogsmeade Village being the re-themed Enchanted Oak- that could have been bad.
