Yes, it will be in 3D. Think if Mummy, Spiderman/Transformers, and FJ mashed together.

Ugh, it'll be in 3D? I am not a fan of 3D and I can't really imagine how they can convince the rider that wearing the glasses fits with the story/theme of the ride.

Safety glasses maybe? :shrug:

They'll make something unique.

They'll make something unique.

Now that I've been thinking about it, I'm thinking maybe they'll use the fact that we are muggles to their advantage. They can say that there are enchantments that only wizards can see down in the chambers and in order to see the enchantments, we need our "Wizard-Vision" glasses. Just spit-balling here.

 

[Elizabeth.June]

Potter glasses? no really, I have a pair of the 3d glasses they gave out for the midnight premier of part 2. They were Harry themed.

 

[Spideyfreak]

Ummm....there's....a reason...he's saying Intanmin :wave:

I'm sorry I just don't see it. That RV has so many Premier characteristics. I just can't see Intamin do a ride like this. It doesn't make sense. This just screams Premier.

 

[Millionaire2K]

My guess is Premier Rides is doing this ride. They worked with Universal before and their newer track looks a lot like Intiman's.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

I still can't wait to see the Voldermort AA jump onto the ride vehicle ound:

There's always a possibility that he could since it's a 3D ride

 

[Cruiseshipfan]

When did all this whole 3D aspect come into it. I alway thought it was never going to be in 3D, did I miss something along the way.

I had forgotten about it, too, but sure enough:

Wow ok thanks for that. I remember it now.

I agree. I've never seen Intamin track like this and quite frankly Universal would be stupid to go with Intamin in any way, shape or form, their record from the last decade is marred with delayed openings, redesigns, and unreliability. Didn't they learn their lesson from RRR?

 

[Vyrus]

Not really. HTF says Intamin. I respectfully disagree.

I have no inside info confirming this, but everything else points to it being Premier. I mean, look how similar that is to ROTM!

The ride vehicle picture thats out on the interwebs is something blue sky....its not the ACTUAL ride vehicle :thumbs:

 

[Spideyfreak]

Normally I would agree. But that looks too finished to be blue sky IMO.

 

[ReelJustice]

I never believed it was the real deal. It would've been pulled. I remember the first leaked photo of the kuka bench being pulled almost immediately by Universal.

 

[ReelJustice]

Food for thought from @SpiritOf74 on the potential of WWoHP eventually being a "3rd gate" for Universal, potential changes in ticketing, and Phase 3...

FYI: Disneyhead and Spirit were the first/few who said Phase II would include Hogwarts Express and replace Jaws.

 

[JungleSkip]

There are a lot of assumptions and guesswork in that post. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I think that's a "Spirit stirs the pot" post.

 

[UK-Trigg]

Two possible shop fronts.......

from what we know thread (members section)

Mr. Mulpepper's Apothecary---66C

And, florean fortescue's ice cream parlour----64C?

Weasley wheezes tomorrow.

 

[ReelJustice]

Thanks Roodles. I sure hope Fortescue's makes it. I can't believe it wouldn't, but you never know.

 

[Felipe]

Fortescue's better not just be a facade, or else... :angry:

Thanks for the pics, mate! :thumbs:
