The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[DisFreakBrent]

I'm here. Hopefully still 4/9/10.. if not 4/13/10. Ask away.

Welcome back SAS I'll let others ask the questions unless you can give us any insight into why a TM said it wouldn't be April 9th while your saying it still may be?

90% of the population are rude, jackass's :tigger:

It might not be 90%, but you're close.

 

[StrongArmSystems]

Disfreakbent. I'd like to see what was written? Would you repost? Front line trainers and supervisors are kept in the dark regarding dates and have nothing to offer but speculation.

 

[BBPH]

Aha SAS, your back , one question may be a bit of a bad question but do you know IF DD will close again and if so for how long? Thanks

 

[StrongArmSystems]

In early January 2011 for an 6 week rehab or if third shift is unable to remove construction walls prior to FJ opening.

 

[DisFreakBrent]

SAS nothing really to repost it may have just been hearsay or that they were not scheduled as of yet to work in the area as of that date when they got their work scheduled. But good to hear at least thing are still somewhat working in the time frame everyone hoped & no major problems have come across.

Coool thanks, its quite cool to know they already have refurbish dates planned for 2011

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Yeah hearing DC will go down for 6 weeks in Jan. points to it being repainted when the crowds slow down like I figured so that's good to hear

SAS, rumours are going around stating that only people who booked the harry potter packages will be able to enjoy soft openings between May 28 and June 17. Is this true? Or will the general public also be able to enjoy a soft opening at this time? Thanks in advance.

She always rides Hulk with a celebrity guest though, and plays pranks at the hotels like the Spa scare from last year, or the Royal Pacific Water Aerobics class. The Jaws bit in 2008 was priceless though!

Ellen Always goes on the rides, If your in the right place at the right time you can ride with her to. I rode the hulk in '06 with her and it was so awesome, no lie!

Universal is stating that they will allow those who purchased the packages to get to experience TWWoHP. That is not a rumor. However, I have no clue about others.

 

[StrongArmSystems]

I am not privy to that division's plans. God willing, WWOHP will be open to both tour packages and regular guests particularly over Memorial Day weekend. During this period of time there are private group times scheduled is this what you are referring to?

That had to be an awesome experience! Apparently she rode HRRR today. I'd suppose they filmed something there while she rode it.

Question of the day:

What song did Ellen pick for her ride on HRRR?


Also, seeing as Ellen likes to do out-of-the-box activities when at Universal, I think I would be soooooo happy if Ellen did a walk through Hogsmeade and into various stores and Three Broomsticks, or better yet..................act as a "Wandkeeper" for the guest celebrity or even just see her get her own wand.

Black Eyed Peas.. Seriously I have no idea.

Seriously, the smartest thing you have ever said on here: "Seriously I have no idea."

Uh oh, another war is brewing I think!

Okay, SAS, thanks for coming back on. Here come my questions.
*You said that the plans are to make the ride building look less noticeable by adding foliage and the such. How much do you think is going to actually be covered?
*Also, the space between the two cliffs on which Hogwarts lays, there is a path. For what will that be used?
*Last one: can you compare the restraints that will be used on the Forbidden Journey to those of any other ride? And do the enchanted carriages look pretty realistic in your opinion?

Seriously, the smartest thing you have ever said on here: "Seriously I have no idea."

People don't accept jokes like that. For our sake, can you not try and provoke SAS? Let's keep it to how it's been so far.

 

[BBPH]

(I had a little read of what i posted here and didn't really explain what i meant, sorry SAS i didn't think him saying that to you was funny i just find Teebins attitude funny)

Ohhh SAS, I think it was on concept art there was to be flame lamps on the little bridge on the FJ building any news on these of course i understand concept art is just a 'CONCEPT' lol

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Teebin if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all even if you are joking just don't start it. Thanks again SAS for answering a few things as much as you can.
