Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Aberforth Dumbledore]

So HTF confirmed in his Twitter that the keys will be sold at Wiseacres shop.

I can't believe I didn't consider that earlier. Teebin, that is one of the best things the park could do with this attraction. I would guess that one of the things that JK created specifically for this park would be some awesome kind of goggles for Muggles to wear while in Gringotts with some kind of magical property?

Expect to have universal closing at 11 pm. With islands and The Hogwarts express closing at 10.

Looks like Universal will reveal a little bit of info on Diagon Alley tomorrow through Social Media. It begins!!!!

Makes perfect sense. Too late to cancel your Christmas/New Years vacation now, no matter how frustrated you might be!

That would make me so happy. The parks have closed way too early save for hell weeks.

Transformers currently has a team member at the end of the ride monitoring guests leaving with the 3d glasses. Theres also a detection system that detects if you try to walk into the gift shop with the glasses concealed it sets off an alarm.

Yeah that teased nothing other than the fact it'll be mind blowing

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

I'm sorry, but that's all kinds of ****ing epic. They should do a second commercial showing an empty Fantasy Land and an empty Antartica :thumbs:

 

[Teebin]

Yeah that teased nothing other than the fact that UC hopes it will be mind blowing

Corrected that for ya.

Another video update from Youtuber PopSong1:

That video is excellent. Thanks for posting. Love the ribbed roofing on Grimmauld. Taking a cue from Felipe, that famous street address means both grim and old. JK did pack in a ton of these such word plays, some less obvious than others.

For Bobwadd: So, they are attaching the 2x4 molding frames to the densglass, or are they shooting through that to the steel framing?

Interesting that they haven't attached the steel mesh to the flat parts of Wyndham yet... I would hate to be cutting that out around those more organic shapes.

The sculptors must be seeing bricks in their sleep whereas four years ago it would have been quarry stone. Work is work I suppose.

 

[bobwadd]

^^ Great video, thanks :thumbs:

Teebs, they are definitely attaching the furring strips the steel framing or some other sort of backer block installed for just that purpose. Failure to do this would more than likely lead to cracking down the road.

 

[Hatetofly]

Outstanding teaser video! I loved it!

 

[Felipe]

That video (and that zoom!)... so awesome! Thanks PopSong1 and thanks for posting, GGGhost! :thumbs:

Here comes the big marketing push, it's gonna be brilliant from here on out I think.
