^^ Awesome pics.
I love how the brickwork is turning out. Did you see any additional details appearing on King's Cross?

The same one from the Dragon Challenge queue, or a new one?

A different one. I was wondering if they may park one in front of King's Cross. That would be pretty cool.

Does anyone know if Stuart Craig is involved this time around or is Alan Gilmore the only AD on site?

Yesterday was my birthday but because of my arthritis my foot was almost twice as big and I was in a lot of pain. On top of that I needed to visit the hospital due to a kidney problem. Nothing to laugh about except for the very, very amusing podcast. Thanks a lot guys, you made a horrible day fun!

With the departure of the Cigarz, candy- and tattoo-shop could we see a poler-coaster over there or a Harry Potter location outside the parks? Maybe the New York setting of the HP spinoff series "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Just wondering if they would keep it on property it's ok with J. K. Rowling?

Very interested about the magic wands. The reason they didn't do it in phase 1 (to crowded for the effect to be magical (I think was the reason)) is still there so how are they going to tackle that problem?
Love to explore the many shop windows and soak in the details. And how about that scene 7? Why is it that amazing? Due to what happens there or the scale and practical effects? So much questions!
And how many rooms before you get on the ride, 8? What will we see there. I guess the back hall with the goblins but after that? Will the actors make an appearance like at the queue at IOA?

Very interesting... if they do pull all of those down and put up a poller coaster, they could theme it to nascar since it is right next door, then maybe the queue can begin inside a new room within the nascar restaurant

Car Crash = Year 2 Chamber of Secrets
Dementors on the Hogwarts Express = Year 3 Prisoner of Azkaban

Not anything that stood out. Brick sculpting looked almost complete. Most everything in London appeared to be nearing stages ready for paint though. And there are some new particulars on top of the theater I personally hadn't seen before.

They're both involved and Rowling is creating original content for this expansion as well.

Interesting article. I'm curious about this line: Unlike Mummy and Forbidden Journey, however, film sequences (that are utilized via “huge projectors”) are emphasized over physical sets,

All the insiders on the project this far (Whylightbulb, HTF, etc) have said that Gringotts would have massive physical sets, a lot more so than Forbidden Journey. And yet, this article seems to say the exact opposite?

Oh, I see. I don't think they worded that properly then. I would've written: Unlike The Mummy and The Forbidden Journey, however, film sequences are integrated into large physical sets.

Okay, taking my editor hat off now. lol.

Yeah, we have known about at least one massive dome screen for some time. My take is that this will be a LIM version of spider-man with quick coaster whoops thrown in between scenes plus one or two major track surprises. In theory, it sounds compelling...

Ok, the blue car on the trailer isn't a Ford Anglia. It is a Fiat. And it's not behind Universal Creative, it is behind Loews headquarters. Sorry for the false alarm. I have some pics if anyone is interested.

I also noticed OI said Dynamic was "not hired to design the ride" but I belive they are vendor providing the Kuka arms (which they have an exclusive on) and perhaps some other elements.

So I'll confirm the spinning aspect of the RV as the only new info provided by OI. Everything else on there has been shared between Disneyhead, Spirit, Martin, Whylightbulb, and myself months and even over a year ago on some things.

As for the interiors of the shops ehhhh not so much in terms of completion.

Dynamic is working on the ride control system with Intamin as well as providing the two largest Kuka arms ever used on a theme park ride...
