Mine?

1. Do all the things in any order.
2. Die.
3. Repeat.

Hasn't failed me yet.

Am I the only past Uni team member that's clueless how they're going to cram a FRICKIN' TRAIN backstage between UO and IOA? Look at the park on Google Maps - there is no room back there. God help 'em.

It will be elevated.

We have already discussed this. The answer appears to be Monorail style towers above the roadways.

I appreciate all of you too much.

I wonder if the train will be visable from inside the park.

Doubtful. Don't want to ruin the illusion.

 

[violarum]

It probably will be. There are some parts where you can see the Turkey Lake and Vineland traffic lights. But if they keep their motif of theming everything going, we can expect to see some themed bridges where theming is due.

so the big question is what will your strategy be when phase 2 opens? gringotts than Hogwarts express to IOA?

Personally, I will have to do Diagon Alley first and then onto Hogwarts via the train but that is only because I haven't been to phase 1 yet :'( . Which is really kind of sad when you consider that I not only followed the first phase construction from LC demo to completion (that is how I first found OrlandoUnited) but that I also only live about an hour away. Sometimes I can't believe its been open for over 2 years already! Hopefully I can finally get some people to go once the new part is completed.

Still more excited about the train more than anything in this project and if this thing is visable im sure most people wont notice lol

Why haven't you driven down to see it? You don't have to go 'with' people to have a good time. It doesn't make any sense.

If I lived were you lived I would take every chance I got to go see the Wizarding World you really are missing one of the most amazing placesin the world (Theme park wise) in my opinion!!!

I've considered going by myself before but I don't know how much fun that would be. When I go to a theme park I like to spend the entire day. Be one of the first ones at the gates when they open and be one of the last ones herded out of the parks at close. Seems like a long time to spend at a park alone to me, especially considering that I used to go several times a year with friends/family up to a few years ago. I guess the lines would be a lot shorter without a group though.

I'm sure I'll agree with you once I get to go. I loved all the movies (but still need to read the books) and when I heard they were building the Wizarding World basically in my back yard I was super excited. The last time I visited IOA (or any park for that matter) was when they had just started putting up the first castle turrets on Hogwarts. Construction was in full swing and I couldn't wait to come back, however, things happen. I lost my job, was out of work for a while, went back to school, some friends/family moved away and some friends had kids. If I can't go with someone before phase 2 opens I'll definitely just bite the bullet and fly solo.

Arrange to meet someone here for lunch and a few rides and then maybe even another person later in the day. I have hung out with people that I hardly knew at the parks before. Always had a good time.

 

[violarum]

Being alone in the parks or at least with my special person is how I do it.

Going in groups, for me, is plaguing. I guess I should declare how introverted I am now...

(Very.)

 

[ReelJustice]

Going to parks alone is very liberating. Did that almost exclusively when I lived down there.

October will be a very different story. I haven't been in years and everyone wants a piece of me.

Your first time to the WW?

I am an hour and half away and have not been, and I have been to HHHNs every year it's been open. Personaly just not in that big of a hurry to spent the money for one ride when addmission to SeaWorld is paid for.

I go alone but, while at times is OK I prefer some company, just not big groups.

Well if you've been to a movie alone, you can go to theme parks alone :thumbs:
