Anything we can do except be working. That's what I always say! :thumbsup:

So if this is a shooter, what exactly would be shooting? Just seems like a government building is more fit to a slower, more relaxed type of ride than something action packed.

But then again I don't know much about Potter so I have no clue.

This won't be The DMV Waiting Room: The Ride 3D.

I hear they are saving that IP for HHN.

If I were to guess... perhaps this scene from Order of the Phoenix that takes place in the Ministry could be a clue:

If they are concerned about shooting spells at people, it can be typically inanimate objects come to life. This is the place that has attacking brains after all. They can blast a fallen bookcase out of the ride path, etc.

I know pc culture probably has Universal concerned, but this is still the world where Six Flags has a Justice League ride where you get points for shooting the Joker, Lex Luthor, and henchman.

I still don't think this will be a shooter, so...:shrug:

They could just set the phasers for stun. :shrug:

It might be cool if it just brought us to different departments with mini scenes of physical effects, kind of like a tour of the MoM where you guessed it.. something goes wrong.

Not one comment about my theory of 2 attractions being in MoM?

Curious.

I could see the ride being interactive, but not a shooter. Climb into a trackless ride vehicle and go on a tour of the Ministry of Magic, aiming your wand at objects causing them to do different effects. Think like the Monsters Inc. attraction in Tokyo.

I think this is more likely than a "fight the bad guys" plot

I'm going with rounding up death eaters after The Battle of Hogwarts.

And Courtroom 10 will be Universal's version of Alien Encounter.

I don't see there being two attractions. It's not all that big of an area.

While they didn't have to do every location, I think they could have easily did full or mini lands for at least 4 or 5 planets. Finding Ride systems to make the rides different enough might have been an issue, but there is enough material to come up with solid storylines for a lot of planets.

Have you seen the concept art? It's basically a mis match of space ports from all the movies, and a little forest area similar to Endor. Personally, I think this was the wise way to go. The idea is that you are in a Outpost that is currently housing both the Falcon and the New Order's command ship. It works way better than having multiple mini planets, you can somehow teleport to by walking around the corner. It also allows them to introduce new aliens and other surprises that are exclusive to the park. You obviously cant' have a Hoth land in Florida or California.

The sky is the limit.
