Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[bobwadd]

I'm going to have a little lunch. Don't worry, I'll be back.

 

[bobwadd]

Another batch . . .

 

[bobwadd]

A few more from "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" . . .

 

[TylerDurden]

Thanks for all the great pictures!! Looking at them poses a few questions, though, the biggest being...

Why is there so much space between the waterfront and the London facades, yet so little space in the actual land? Those walkways look ridiculously claustrophobic, I'm wondering why Universal didn't just push the whole land toward the water, so to speak, and free up more space within the actual Diagon Alley?

Amazing pics Bob! Thanks so much! Although I am not crazy about that giant bridge extending over diagon. I feel like its gonna ruin that wow feel for me when i first in if I dont see Gringotts at the very end.

Also, HTF, will any of the restaurants/stores have a second floor that is accessible to guests?

It was in the artwork. I do not think it will really affect your view.

A few stragglers . . .

We have unfortunately reached the end . . .

Once again I would like to thank everyone who participated and made this very successful photo excursion possible. :thumbs:

There will be a few aerial updates in other threads. Please keep your eyes open for them. :thumbs:

 

[UK-Trigg]

I bet you got some nice resort shots, ride shots and maybe some of I ride construction, just a hunch:shrug:

 

[bobwadd]

^ Sounds about right.

I also know someone who has a great bunch of beauty shots for the PotD thread.

Has anyone noticed that the overhead walkway goes nowhere? Stairs at one end and nothing at the other.

 

[KABS13]

Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much! Love seeing how everything is coming together and FAST!

Yes we did. Going to be analyzing this one for quite a while.

What are the rows of (steel?) posts on the roof of Gringott's facade, right behind the front dome? see below:

They appear to be rigid metallic pipe with small squares with the corners turned up and welded on. This type of setup would usually be used for a temporary support platform.

In the artwork the bridge doesn't go all the way across Diagon Alley. I can't see how this won't wreck the view in both directions. Isn't the huge sign for Weasley's right as you come in?

these pics are amazing and very overwhelming, which is what diagon alley should be, so thanks for that.

so from what i've read here and around, the following stores will be in diagon (functioning and not facades): leaky cauldron, gringotts of course, www, ollivanders, wizeacre's, florean fortescue's (i think?)

there's the list of all the shops ever mentioned in diagon... does anyone know what they may make facades of? flourish & blotts, quality quidditch supplies etc?
