^ It appears that it may be a slightly different layout than the Orlando version.

Probably a different queue.

Haven't seen it mentioned in here, so I think I'll say something.

I've heard whispers of Dementors being involved with Gringotts as well. I wouldn't say its an "A-list" source, but given what I know has been going on with Hogwarts Express testing and who has had access to that, I'm inclined to think that there could be some embers behind this little puff of smoke, at the least.

Interesting. I love dementors, but dang, a dementor in Forbidden Journey, Hogwarts Express and Gringotts..wow.

Yeah, that was my thought as well, and also why I'm a little cautious about it. It could very well be old story material that won't be used, but I was told it was in the effects as of right now.

Okay, so this is a very old article but I just wanted to ask if this is going to begin construction anytime soon...Apparently, it's been approved but like I said this is a very old articlehttp://www.insidethemagic.net/2011/07/universal-orlando-plans-to-expand-forbidden-journey-ride-queue-at-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter/

i'm not gonna lie, i was kind of hoping that when they were building the stage they were maybe thinking about adding christmas trees...oh well. but does anyone know if the Weasley Wizard Wheezes shop is going to have a better capacity and flow situation then Olivanders? It looks like an exciting concept but if I'm gonna have to wait an hour to go into a shop where I can buy a lot of the same stuff I can get from Zonko's....

I have heard that a big order for Italian Marble and Crystal Chandeliers recently went out.

Is that a joke? I figure they would leave the teller seats empty. If we could get one or two awesome animatronics than this thing really is amazing to a whole 'notha lev-el.

As I said in the Transformers thread, let me begin by apologizing for the quality of these shots. I took a very improvised trip to Uni today and I didn't bring my DSLR with me like I usually do because when I left the house this morning, I didn't know that I would be going to Uni. Not to mention that the park was really crowded today. So I had to use my crappy digital camera that doesn't have a good zoom on it. But don't worry, I'll be back at Uni sometime next week with my DSLR with a higher quality update. So you guys can look forward to that.:thumbs:

The banker's hall is so architecturally interesting that if they made a faithful recreation of it and left out the Goblins, I still would've been impressed. But animatronic bankers brings it to a whole other level.
