(Rumor) New Potter Attraction to Replace Fear Factor Live?

[GAcoaster]

The track record of telling TMs they're being relocated because something is coming and then at the last minute saying "never mind" is pretty long at this point...

Last I heard, Fear Factor demo starts in November. Shrek starts in January (after the holiday rush).

That's also what I am hearing.

Soooo...does demolition start right after HHNs or do they wait until early January?

Any reason you’re asking today in particular?

Yup!

Yup!

Dave almost always knows. Then he double checks by testing the waters. :thumbsup:

Yup!

I am under the impression that some people involved with the project have very recently temporarely relocated here. And that they are chomping at the bit to get going with it.

I heard that too. Also heard that it's being replaced by something Harry Potter-related. Come to me for more breaking news folks.

Testing the waters by doing a little bit of demolition?

Demolition markers have been around FFL since late spring and they’ve been hiring for Potter VR this summer.

Summer 2023 sounds about right for this, they like those June/July openings for Potter.

Slightly OT, but I did both VR experiences at the Potter store in NY - it's right across the street from my office. Mystery at Hogwarts was really fun once we got past some tech issues and got going; Wizards in Flight was awesome but the lack of AC/rush of crowds post-experience/mask(?) made me slightly woozy afterwards. Still, being able to zap Death Eaters with spells (and actually see the spells work) while riding on a broom was incredible

Now picture this on steroids.

I expect it to be more enhanced in Orlando, along with it being impeccably themed. It may not end up being my favorite but this will for sure be a winner.

Do you guys think this VR Broomstick ride will be anywhere near the level of Avatar FOP? Or is it just a low key addition without much fanfare.

I'd imagine no matter what, it'll be a technical feat if Thinkwell is not only on this; but bringing their efforts from Lionsgate's VR experiences (Which won awards mind you).

I was looking at FFL on google maps and I was curious, do you guys think they will squeeze in everything between those service roads or will exposition blvd be removed to make room?

Should be more than enough and then some.

Does anyone else wonder if the Amity Island Bathrooms will stay or get removed to continue to grow the London Water Front theming?

Guessing they'll stay since plumbing, which is expensive infrastructure, is already there. Perhaps rethemed to Potter.

I guarantee if they theme it to Potter, people will be standing in the toilets trying to flush themselves into the Ministry of Magic.
