Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

I really hope there's a dementor attack ray: that would make it perfect!

From this afternoon,

 

[novawildcat18]

Great update HTF, thanks! Can anyone clarify what these structures are? I'm talking about the metal beams going up in front of Gringotts and the wooden wall at the end of it.

 

[Quint]

65?

 

[Andy]

At this point I'm going with 65 or Ollivanders for those paying attention

 

[Nico]

Thanks HTF! These pics and those arials from the other day have me wondering. Do we have any info if/how they will be changing the entrance to the IOA side? Or will people who get off just walk into the land in the spot where current train/station are right now?

 

[Sleepyhollowstudios]

Is it just me, or is anyone else having a difficult time deciphering what exactly is happening inside the Gringotts building?

Darn, I really love the current entry. Its one of my favorite spots because the scale and the positioning to the rest of the land is so perfect. I have faith though.

 

[Cruiseshipfan]

Is that a window I see being put up? It seems a bit early for that when their is only one side to the building.

 

[USO92]

Im so lost inside all of this steel. Like.....yea I cant even...

My first thought as well.

So excited that since Transformers is wrapping, HP expansion has sudden jumped into high gear. I was worried day to day updates would be somewhat boring without the frantic Transformers project.

Thanks for another awesome update, HTF! :thumbs: This keeps growing and growing, and more and more visible progress every day :happy:

I think the current "wall" that is up is not really a wall, but maybe a mold to pour the concrete and then it might get "peeled" off. Those more construction-savvy, can you opine?

Right, it's a giant concrete form. The wood window is there to keep a space open for a window in the future.

That mess of steel is definitely 65/Ollivanders, and the difference in height between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley buildings is already apparent.

I got a question HTF, have you heard anything new on the supposed elevator queue for Gringotts??..Is that going to be an experience in itself like originally rumored?..What's the deal?..

 

[Hockeyman55]

For those that have been there at night, you think its possible to see more of what is goign on inside Gringotts with the lights on if one where zoom in close enough?

 

[Lysis]

My first thought as well.

What is 65? I can't find it anywhere online!

 

[Andy]

The new Ollivanders, complete with three showrooms.

I was going to last night but with my buzz and trying to wait for Cinespec to start as well as hoping for some Transformers lighting I didn't make it.

I can only really speak to the first half of the queue and I've held back certain details due to being asked to. But I can say this, at one point you will go down, and one point you will go up.
