When Diagon opened, Universal went back and updated the Hogsmeade windows to match the tech. I’m guessing the same is being done here. It may be part of the quality stipulation in the contract.Combine these with that tent in Hogsmeade hiding something ... maybe these are trials of new spells / tech for Epic?
I don’t believe this is a new spell location.As of right now, the window with the singing heads in Knockturn Alley is covered up. Some are claiming it is being replaced with a new spell in the same location. Any truth to this?
I remember being sad and angry that it wouldn't be open during hhn lol.Wow, I remember following all the coverage that day, wait times, it was so special. Cheers to one of the best theme park lands to ever exist!
Finally, a water ride in the Studios park.....as Diagon floats into the lagoon.And we debated going tonight, glad we didn't lol
In cases of severe weather, indoor rides may be forced to close due to guests taking shelter within the queue/exit and not leaving, which can become a fire hazard.Update— guess the weather is REALLY bad or there are power issues in the park:

Yea, they did that with us at Lightening McQueen at DHS las month during a severe storm that lasted for an hour or so. They declared it an emergency area and it filled up with all the stragglers from that area of the park.In cases of severe weather, indoor rides may be forced to close due to guests taking shelter within the queue/exit and not leaving, which can become a fire hazard.
That stand is rarely open. No line! Now is the time to get the rare USF hotdog!
Went there for the first time last year in October and was surprised to see their hotdogs are a style I've never had before. They've vertical, hollowed out, and they stick the hot dog in a hole in the top! I assume this is a British thing?That stand is rarely open. No line! Now is the time to get the rare USF hotdog!
