Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Hatetofly]

I'm gonna have something up shortly many will probably find very interesting...

 

[Hatetofly]

Just a little something for everyone to chew on...



Purple: Entrance to Gringotts

Teal: Gringotts Lockers

Red Dots: Anchor locations for canopy structure, please note the two to the right of Ollivanders are support structure for the "train" bridge or the bridge to no where as its been known to be called.

Yellow: Entrance to Leaky Cauldron / Beginning of Food service queue switchbacks

Lime Green: Leaky Cauldron Exit coming directly off of main dining hall

Navy Blue Dot: The entrance to Ollivanders outdoor queue. Notice the arrows as they dictate a queue switchback that wraps the back of the building and then returns to the front of the building adjacent to where you entered.

Dark Green Dot: End of Outdoor Ollivanders queue and holding point for show experience.

Pink: Entrance to Ollivanders Show Experience

Also of note blue arrows indicate entrances and red arrows indicate exits.

Nice drawing Teebs

 

[Felipe]

Looks good! Thanks for the sketch and explanation, HTF! :thumbs:

 

[Hatetofly]

Well at least we know one person is still interested in this stuff. Thanks Felipe

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Hmm, so Gringotts will be using lockers, interesting. Thanks for sharing HTF.

Hey, I commented on it. :rofl:

In all seriousness it is interesting though. :thumbs:

 

[Cheezbat]

Layout isn't what I expected....hmm....

Thanks, but I just created the black and white. I deserve nothing for all the very appreciated pretty dots and pointers you put in place.

Question: What is the train bridge providing shade for? Your Ollivander's queue arrows only go slightly near it. Shade for a show perhaps?

 

[CommanderCommons]

Good call with the Olivanders wrap-around queue. People can catch whatever show they'll have under the canopy area from the sidelines, right?

Yes! But this queue will move much faster than the Hogsmeade chapter.

Yeah give me 5 mins Teebs and I'll show you what all will be covered.

Hope this helps, sorry about the 3 min hack job lol.

so wait, whats over here?

I'm gonna guess some of that is backstage, but man do I hope most of it is Knockturn. I understand some of the aesthetic concerns, but the canopy covering so much space is going to be a blessing in the Summer. Especially in a sardine can.

 

[Felipe]

The question mark looks like street area near Knockturn Alley, and I think the triangular looking area to the south will be backstage.

 

[Sideshow Mike]

Very interesting stuff indeed. I wondered how switchbacks would be used in DA. Thanks HTF and Teebin.

 

[Hatetofly]

1 section at a time Since when have I ever given you the everything all at once lol.

 

[Jon84]

I am liking the Leakyness of the updates. Crazy to think this will be complete by the time I next go.

Thanks for your hard work guys

 

[Universalhead]

What is your take on on the usage of the kuka arm HTF? Do you expect it to produce a great effect?

 

[Rwberger]

Hope this helps, sorry about the 3 min hack job lol.

The coverage area as you've labeled it is really interesting, HTF. I went back through the chopper photos and it isn't obvious at all how the large covered area other than the bridge will be achieved. It's bounded by facades with steeply peaked roofs, and it's irregularly shaped. I hope we're not talking about something as unsightly as a tarp. In the Universal artwork, there was an indication of a glass canopy structure similar to that over platform 9 3/4. Is that what it will look like?
