[epcyclopedia]

Today is day 1 no?

No sign of meltdowns from people at the park yet.

I was able to ride it last night in a private event. Not sure if this is the norm lately, but I can report that the entire dementor scene after the first 2, was turned off / blacked out. Maybe they will be focusing on the dementors in this short timeframe.

Do we know any facts/rumors about what they're working on in this refurb?

Clean off the puke at least.

Since the spring they've needed to do major work in the Chamber of Secrets scene.

1 sign will be removed.

1 sign will be added.

1 lock on a gate people shouldn't open but keep on doing so.

And.. that's it for what i've heard.

I just watched a video and think I prefer it not breathing fire on the screen. What other pyrotechnics are you referring to?

Also, why has no one put up a low light video of the ride? All I see of those is the queue and it's identical to Orlando...

Here's an amazing, ultra low-light, video from SoCal Attractions 360.

Cool but it barely helps. All it shows are parts that are easily seen in the normal camera videos. I want to see the different ending Dementor scene

Is this because of a roof leak damaging some of the rock work in that scene?

Based on what people are saying on twitter, 3D is no longer on the Hollywood version so it is definitely not coming here now. 4K HDR was added as well.

Wow, that's the first posting on that site(OI California) since shortly after they officially opened HP in Hollywood. I thought the site had died. ...Well, they came back with a bang.

^ Well that is a bit of a shocker!

Taylor said they were looking around for staff. Looks like he got them.

He just posted that his self on the site, so I don't know if he found any replacements for those two guys that inaugurated the site last spring.

 

[DK745]

At least that's a good sign of 3D not coming to Orlando. Thank goodness.

anyone have a pic of where/how they're closing off the castle? very interested since I've never seen this happen

 

[Teknik_DC2]

I've seen multiple Instagram posts stating the castle is open for "castle tours" during the refurbishment.
