Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Skubersky]

Those kuka arms really interest me, what on earth are they going to do with them?

You know how the giant screen in T2/3D has a hidden door that opens and closes super-quick to let the motorcycle through at the last moment? The arms will be involved in the next-gen evolution of that effect, with a dome screen, the door on Kukas, and you on the motorcycle. ;-)

So I'll confirm the spinning aspect of the RV as the only new info provided by OI.

I'm not even sure that's new.
And if I'm correct, the vehicles themselves don't spin 360 (like Cat in the Hat or MIB). It's the motion base turntable they lock into during the dome section that does the spinning. Just like Primevil Whirl is a "spinning coaster" but Mummy is a coaster with a mid-course turntable that spins the RV 180 degrees...

Seth the RV's can spin without the use of being in a motion platform or locked into a turn table.

Anyone find it weird that after learning there will be the interactive wands in the park, Noble Collection posted that a Harry Potter Remote Control wand is now for sale?

They've had those for sale for a while (as in past few months) but one has to wonder if it's the same general technology that they'll use for the parks...

Well here comes the Creative manhunt all over again.

Yeah someone is ****ed...

 

[Jymmymack]

Lovely picture.

 

[DragonSlayer]

I'm slightly surprised at the style, but I guess it's only one tiny section. Looks pretty nice!

Also given the particular site in question my first reaction was I wondered whether it was perhaps intentional... Who knows.

 

[MagicRobot]

I'm assuming the themeing on these buildings isn't complete, but it appears odd. Maybe its an out of the way section or has dramatic things on either side.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah someone is ****ed...

Not sure why. He is the one that had the ride vehicle plans that we assumed were provided by Universal to begin with. I assume no less of this new photograph. They are in bed together.

I'm curious as to how they'll pull off the indoor sections such as Knockturn Alley

I tend to agree

Here's a few pics from 12/7/13:

Mind blown...

 

[Disneyhead]

One thing that doesn't seem to be coming through on the pics is that the whole section of bricks where the "cracked" molding is is a different color. It is obvious that it is intended to show that the building has been expanded to show 12 Grimmauld Place.

 

[Hatetofly]

Full Scale RV Testing is underway within the Vault...

 

[bobwadd]

Thanks for the pics, AAO :thumbs:

 

[UNIrd]

That picture is pretty awesome. Love the griminess of the theming.

Do we know the locations of the three motion bases and the two LSM launches yet?
