No one is hurt by it. Just calling a bad idea a bad idea. None of the rides follow the movies 100% like you imply. Voldemort never chased Harry through Gringotts BTW.
You can’t compare the redwood (explicit) forest to a theme park attraction.
If you notice...there are no roller coasters at any of the national Parks.
Florida has plenty of forests. Ocala national forest is only an hour drive away. Grrrr
Do you really think the trees would be any better? Like really?
They should have built Everest in Colorado where we have real mountains.
Note: FF isn’t in California. Nor was it filmed in California. Putting it in California, based on your post, would be just as ludicrous as Florida; as it is based on forests in England, has always been England, and was filmed in England.
I wasn’t singling you out - or anyone for that matter.I'm not "outraged". But after the hodge lodge of movie "best ofd".....it would have been nice for them to try and stay true to movies. I'll still love it but Universal is the one that created the high expectations for Potter attractions.:thumbsup:
You lost me at the spiders (of all things...) but there's a large and impressive scene in the show building.
He’s talking about the show scene in the new ride. No FJ.It's not "impressive"....it's cheesy. It would have been nice to recreate the REAL spider scene from the movie which takes place in the FF. Spiders......pfft.
Except it’s known that Hagrid released Fluffy into the forest so that would make no sense.

I’m just saying, even with as much Potter as there is in the parks, there’s so many iconic parts within the canon and the movies that they should prioritize getting as much of it represented as possible within the space they have.
The movies changed a lot from the books. Although those who have only seen the movies or those who never been exposed to harry potter can't enjoy the lands for the interactive experience they provide, I can't help but mention, especially with J.K Rowling approving the land, it is more enjoyable for the harry potter fans if the rides introduce aspects of the book more than the movies. This is why it is such a treat that blasted ended skrewts may end up on this ride, since they were not seen in the movie. Although I was a big proponent on Universal's old goal of riding the movies, IOA kind of left that behind.Ahhh yes....it would make no sense to have Fluffy in FJ when he was seen in Hogwarts in the movies.
Yikes.
If this attraction didn’t look like it was of high quality, then I’d agree. However, it looks like it could rival to be one of the best rides in Orlando.I think getting the best characters and scenes represented trumps getting every scene, character and creature represented.
By the way....I'm Po'd that they never did an AA Dobby!
Central Florida is filled with natural pine trees and evergreens.For this type of attraction, yes. We have a different biome where pine trees dwell. Florida has tropical greenery.
Roughly how many of the 1,200 total trees do you think have already been planted? Just trying to wrap my head around how many more we can expect and what the finished project will look like.

Florida Native Pine Trees, Pinus
Travel more than five minutes from Universal, you’re surrounded by pine. Most of the WDW property is pine.
Thanx. I also found some pics online of FL native pines.
Longleaf Pine
Slash Pine
These pine trees would make beautiful Christmas trees!
