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

[1up]

Where is this as thats the worst thing i have ever seen. Its not WB movieworld as that here In Australia.

Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. I live like 30 mins away. I don't know what I was expecting with the Dark Knight though. Great Adventure keeps trying to do the theming for sections of the parts, but it should just stick with being an Amusement Park instead of a Theme park.

Ihmotep was a victim of a budget cut, that dude wae fluent back in the hydrolic days.

He's just too advanced for his own good and breaks a lot

Alot that of that stuff was told to us a very long time ago. They didn't even say that FJ was a robo arm ride. They said its an "experience". Anyway, thanks for the vid!

Those of you that didnt make it to that designer forum last night at the mad cow missed a great event. Alan gilmore was there and it was cool to hear him speak aboit the design of the wizarding world and reveal some secrets. Did anyone else go?

 

[alkalinepat]

sounds cool, like what did he reveal?

on ihmotep also they do not use the fog from the head to the palm anymore(soul sucking)
because of budget i assume.

so how long before the snow doesn't fall and the cool blast of fog stops

has anyone else realised the music on the officila website is now playing the officila hp themetune.. hedwigs theme I think... or has that been there for some time...

Yeah, I think they recently started to put in the new John William's tracks on the website. There's about 16 total and they're all about a minute long.

Anyone know what the minimum height to ride to Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey? Is that I travel in the summer with my nephew who has 7 years old ...

No one knows for sure... robocoaster at legoland has two height restrictions which implies they have different sized cabs and shoulder restraints. These are 40" and 55". If I had to guess, I would think FJ will be 50" - 54".

The official website has been updated! When you click on Hogsmeade, you can make a virtual tour and see may new details and views! (NOT the flying tour)

PS: You can even see the snowman with a snow owl on his arm (branch)!

 

[King_K.]

I believe that Universal said that FJ will be 48"

 

[Ra_Stitch]

Thank you very much! I hope you are at least 48 because it measures ... If minimum is 50 so we can forget.

I love the new 3D "walk-through" in the website! I just signed up for some sort of Tri-Wizard Tournament, whatever that will be haha! I dropped my name in the Goblet of Fire

--- Update ---

Hmmm... you can see everything but the area for Flight of the Hippogriff in the walk-through (well, and some parts it rushes through too). Very nice anyways! And we finally get to see the JP entrance/side of Hogsmeade in more detail.

 

[Jymmymack]

Yeah, we discussed the walkthrough a few pages back. I think the general consensus was that you can't see FotH because the tour doesn't allow us to get closer to Hogwarts and the entrance is right across from Hogwarts.

A few things i noticed

The butterbeer cart is also in this fly through so i believe this to be a permanent fixture

The area thought to be the DC lockers is blocked of :S

And there is another entrance to Honeydukes i wonder if this is usable this would be great for crowds

We discussed that back in March, and even found a definitive answer. Here's my post when I found a Universal brochure that said the height restriction for FJ would be 48".

And the full brochure in PDF format is available here: http://www.universalorlandovacations.com/pdf/2010_UNI_brochure.PDF

Is it possible that this is where the lockers will be?

Hmm that is a possibility i do hope not though very unrealistic
