I still though FJ sets were great cannot wait for this then!

I have already told you all that there will be sets; about the elaborate models that were recently set up in the company that shall not be named. One guess and you would be correct.

Are most of the large sets in the Gringott's ride strictly rock work? Will the have the full set from Deathly Hallows which depicts the dragon guarding a vault? Will we enter a vault at anytime? Besides the goblins in the queue and dragon(s), will there be any other kind of animatronic character featured on the ride itself? Such as a dark wizard? Or are all the human characters projections only?
i want to belive! But I heard a lot of the same hype talk for FJ, which is fine, because I liked that ride a whole bunch, but it didnt WOW me like I was expecting.
I don't believe that Weasley Wizard Wheezes facade with the tipping hat guy will be facing into the main drag of Diagon Alley as shown in the concept art, but instead be where I have the arrow in the screen cap below:
And soooo, no one has a comment about my theory of the Weasley Wizard Wheezes location that I posted earlier? I find it odd that no one has made a comment about it.
I remember someone mentioning Bill Weasleys office but that would be inside the ministry not Gringotts. I was never aware they were connected. Actually I know they're not. Im just interested to see how this turns out
"In addition to the two rides, I'm told that Universal is working on a live show, which will play in the open area under a glass canopy near the Gringotts ride's exit."
Perfect spot for some bankers to get involved with there investments.
This thought just came to me, and bare with me it's probably not going to be like this. But what if the 3d glasses that you're given when you ride Gringott's are built to look like Harry's glasses. The plot would be that, like the 7th movie, we have to take Polyjuice potion to become Harry to trick Voldemort, thus the glasses would make sense.
Universal creative wouldn't be able to create the same experience they are trying to create with Gringotts without screens, same as Forbidden Journey. Otherwise we'd just have another Mummy coaster. In a way its unfortunate but projection is the way of theme park future.
What about a Goblin stock exchange or auction? We get a bunch of scrawny characters yelling at the top of their lungs, selling ridiculous Harry Potter items and creatures like fire-pooping fire-crabs, giant man-eating tree monsters and magical swords that may or may not destroy Horcruxes.
This could add to the interactive element as well!
The reason I think it is going where I pointed out is if you look at the Movie set, the corner is chopped off, and that place I pointed out is the only place I have found that has the corner chopped off.I don't think so :shrug: It would make a bigger impact to see it on main street, not a side street.

I keep reading about these cutbacks, but never an explanation about what they were. Do you mind giving a description?
Yeah, pretty much.Did y'all already decide it is not the "chipped" corner on the other side of that building?
Oh, ok. I was just looking at the roof panels from the video and it doesn't look to be chipped off like that, but you can see the supports for the facade where it it will probably make that chipped off corner. As a matter of fact, from the SFWM plan, there aren't even any doors over where I had pointed out.
So, nevermind, pay no attention to me. I was married for 18 years, I'm used to being wrong.
