The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle (IOA)

[Jwhee]

3 attractions managed by entertainment department closing within a few weeks of each other. Possibly linked? Budgets slashed, budgets increased? Unrelated? Who knows

They’re literally enhancing it. I wonder what’s changing. We know Hollywood has drones. Are there any features from other versions that Orlando doesn’t have?

They’re making enhancements for 2024. Same for the water show.

Dunno if it’s drone related.

So the new lagoon show will not open this year? Safe to say no show for HHN then?

And I really hope drones are being added for Hogwarts.

Hoping the regular show gets some extended time. At 4 minutes and change, it's entirely too short.

Very short, and you can tell from the guests trying to figure out if the show ended or not. Problem is that there isn't enough space to accommodate/justify a longer show. This is obviously a moot point, but I felt like they missed out on not expanding the viewing area when Hagrid was being planned.

It’s almost as if the Resort is getting ready for something in 2025.

Very reminiscent of Disneyland's Project Stardust - something I was hoping they would do for EU. Was worried they would leave the parks abandoned, but the last few months have proven me wrong.

Hopefully just the enhancements part and not the removing benches part.

The Christmas season show is almost twice as long. I'd be happy with that length.

Our Dark Arts show has fire and mist effects as well. Could be that?

Yup from what I understand, they are simply doing some projectors, lighting, sound upgrades+cleaning.

Quick question. Does IoA or UNI have any nighttime shows currently?

No. I’ll ask around about when Lights are coming back.

 

[SkiBum]

No. I’ll ask around about when Lights are coming back.

Thank you. While recognizing that Universal isn't Disney and is also in the middle of neighborhoods, I do wish that they had a regular show with fireworks.

Asked some folks and none know, sorry.

Asked some folks and none know, sorry.

No worries. Appreciate your doing so.

I’m pretty sure this is only closed because they’re doing some drainage/concrete work around it

They played the show for OI Meetup the other night
