Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Hatetofly]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but I think its worth noting that for the first time in as long as I can remember....IOA and the Studios' hours are in congruence starting in March and April (for except like 3 days). Are they anticipating softs with Hogwarts Express/Diagon that early?

Could also just be the first Spring Break with Transformers and Springfield as well as a new Beetlejuice show offering and extended Mardi Gras weeks.

They've just posted a bunch of picture over on 'a certain site that has to do with chatting mice' that shows a lot of the new details. I wish Universal would stop making all this awesome stuff because it's kind of awkward when my favorite ride/area at Universal changes every few months...

Better hint at the site? I can't find it! Sorry I only rely on UO for this kind of stuff...I promise I won't lose loyalty, I'm just in need of some more eye candy!! :'(

You got to flip the words around, take some'ting' off, and add a .com
Oh and look for "Mardi Gras"

I posted an update from all around Universal on my site the other day.

^ Nice pics GAcoaster. I see looking at the picture of the to-do list (the last bite) on the job site of the proposed Starbucks that some of the tasks are/ involve a backlit beer tower, nitrogen-*something*, vino (wine) signs, and a sneeze guard. Quite interesting IMO. How sure are we that it is really going to be a Starbucks and not something else.. Like a bar? Sorry to change the subject.

A milestone for OU or a milestone for UOR?

Diagon UOR

Hmmmm. What the hell could we be talking about?

 

[Disneyhead]

Station to station communication for the 2 train stations?

I believe that that list is for Red Oven Pizza.

That whiteboard was from Red Oven. Check HTF's twitter a few days ago and you'll see it in their construction zone.

They must have just moved it over to the Starbucks site for the crew meal.

Perhaps they attached both trains to the cable and made a run of it? I assume you will tell us all in good time.

 

[darkridelover]

I'm surprised no one saw the slow moving trains the other day or talked about it on here! It was pretty obvious in the morning!

The Hogwarts Express has completed its first full cycle. It went from North to South Station and then back. It went a fraction of full speed.

Surely both parks closing at 8.30pm (when they hardly ever close at exactly the same time) means that the Hogwart's Express will be running between them!

Both trains are not on track yet? The other post above yours implied "trains".

Those arches on King's Cross are looking mighty fine! Nice pics!

So this HE queue is going to be massive and, if I'm not mistaken, will include merch or food stands? There is a scene in Order of the Phoenix where Harry is walking through the Ministry atrium and sees a few Daily Prophet newsstands and other cart-like things. I know it's a different location, but could we anticipate something along the lines of that?

Do we know what full speed is yet?
