Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[GGGhost]

Just something I've been noticing for a while. Shouldn't the number on this door be a "14"?

The numbers on the four doors should read: 11, 12, 13, 14.

Some More!

@orlando_parks Only one light needs to be installed:

@orlando_parks The waterfront walkway is very wide. That will come in handy this summer:

@orlando_parks Walls have been moved back a little more: pic.twitter.com/SyuvOROjWi

@orlando_parks Back to King's Cross:

@orlando_parks You can't really see it now, but lights are on inside the sign of King's Cross:

In the bottom pic you can see where the benches are going.

[slydisneydig] Shouldn't there be a press release if there will be benches [/slydisneydig]

So I've spoken to some owls who have ridden the Hogwarts Express.

Words used to describe the experience are "flawless" and "one of the greatest themed experiences ever designed from queue to exit".

Thought you should know.

I'm on the opening team. It's perfect, trust me. If you love the franchise you'll love the ride.

And what if one is indifferent to the franchise? How will it be for people who have no feelings about Potter?

Thanks for posting those pics, Blue180.

My oh my, grey skies sure look pretty with the London facades.

I was hoping for a special Benches Grand Opening event, featuring the incredible camel bench. Perhaps free tickets for life to the first to warm their ass on firm maple slats. Sorry, I am getting weepy, I must stop...

Things are really beginning to speed up. So excited right now! Also, on May 31 I will be traveling to London for around 2 weeks. I'm going to try and visit the Harry Potter WB Tour while there. The trip should give me a whole new appreciation for the new London/Diagon Alley at USF!!

What's up with the difference in the sidewalk?

What's up with the difference in the sidewalk?

I would guess just representing the transition between the waterfront walkway and the courtyard of London.

Are you talking about the curb? If so then what I meant to say was why the difference in the texture of the sidewalk. The left side looks old and the right side looks new.

I meant the difference in quality of sidewalk, I mean it may just be because the two sides were paved/completed at different times (Because you have to remember that the waterfront walkway was open months before the construction walls were pushed back that far)

.... the left is old, the right is new.

Yup! It's called dirt lol.

If you're like my dad (thinks Dobby's name is Dooby), someone who is extremely indifferent about Potter, then you'll think the H.E. is the coolest thing since color tv. Better?

Then let's get some more dirt please because it's bugging me! And the clock. That's bugging me as well. :thumbs:

You don't have to be the fan of a specific movie franchise to be appreciative of a state of the art ride system

 

[brianlo]

North Station is Kings Cross :thumbs:

Ah, sorry. The directionality of the parks confused me. Especially when in "reality" Kings Cross should be South of Hogwarts. Why has Kings Cross and Hogsmeade station not become the vernacular?

Sounds good.
