Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

I was kind of startled when I discovered the mass of ropes set up behind the Discovery Center when I went to take pictures back there the other night, forgetting we're at the front of spring break season. Hopefully we don't have to worry about anything like that being needed for crowd control beyond the first month or two of it being open.

HP 2 just may end up with even larger crowds than IOA's Harry Potter. Two new E tickets plus possibly more interesting shops & shows. Also, Transformers, Despicable Me & the new Springfield Land. The Studios will probably be swamped with crowds.

But it will also have 3 things that will be relatively new to go along with Potter to spread crowds. IoA didn't have that when Phase I, which compounded the crowd control problems.

I'll be happy but sad about that too. Glad more people are coming, but also enjoy the lesser crowd in the Studios right now since it means less of a wait in lines . If it means more rides have the wait times of FJ and Spider-Man then I might have to buy an express pass next time I go.

But I can't wait to have more rides there! Something might replace ROTM has my favorite ride there.

Reminds me of opening night for The Avengers at the Altamonte Springs AMC Theater

Remember . . .

Oh my god, I'm not claustrophobic or agoraphobic but that is freaking me the hell out. The worst part is remembering I'll be standing in a line like that for HOURS.

 

[maxairmike]

Ha, good memories. I was actually way ahead of that mass, I was probably inside the park in the JP holding area when that picture was taken. If that was before people were let in, I was over by NBA City.

They better time the grand opening to be the day after a good movie premier like how TS3 premiered the night before Potter opened, so my friends and I just stayed up all night.

I had already come and gone at that point

Still better than Wal-Mart during the Holidays.

Nothing is worth waiting in a line like that. Nothing.

 

[Disneyhead]

Looks like the line at the Funnel Cake stand at Dollywood.

I wonder what Uni looked like that day

 

[blue180]

^ that is just not worth it. Like I would never wait in line that long for something like this! It is crazy!!!

Oh, I HOPE they throw me out. I'd love it.

Can you imagine the crap storm they'd set off by tossing out any prominent member of the theme park community? I'd love to see it.

This comment made for a good laugh.
