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

[Felipe]

Thanks for the info BJCool! :rep:

The DD queue (in my perspective) is one of the most epic queues in the world, and i really doubt Universal would want to change It's reputation i would assume it will be updated yet very good.

 

[StarTrekGeek]

hopefully the new DC queue will be as good as the DD queue.

Speaking of which, anyone else seeing Dueling Dragons possibly closing again? I mean, we have a while until opening.

I don't think so. All they have to do is take down construction walls and take down the "ice" and "fire" dragon signs.

thats what I was thinking to the new DC wouldent change that much who knows It might be better than the DD queue.

Sas, did mention there would be no more closures for DD/DC......

thats what I was thinking to the new DC wouldn't change that much who knows It might be better than the DD queue.

I really do hope so , I loved the DD queue I'm very sad too see it go

Just thinking about how the DD/DC thing will work during soft openings. The current bridge from Jurassic Park to DD has huge walls to keep us away from FJ and hogsmeade. But during soft openings, when the wizarding world is open we would walk through hogsmeade to get to DC. But when the soft opening closes for a while or whatever, will there be a way to get to DD or DC. I guess by the time TWWOHP starts soft openings DD becomes DC and is open or closed with the rest of the island.

Yea, I just read through the Newsday article, it was mostly things we've heard already.

**Forbidden Journey Spoilers**

They did say this about Dumbledore's office that I haven't heard, and from Thierry Coup's response, it seems that they may be true.

Will the Phoenix be there? How about the Pensieve, the bowl that re-creates memories? "No one will be disappointed. It's all there," Coup says.

Interesting

You'll see the Great Hall. You'll meet the Sorting Hat. You'll go through the portrait room, with more than 100 portraits, and see moving, talking images of the four founders of Hogwarts - Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Godric Gryffindor. You'll walk right by a moving staircase. You'll encounter Draco Malfoy, Rubeus Hagrid and other characters - you'll catch a glimpse of the Weasley twins and their sister, Ginny.

You'll have your own "close encounter" with the Whomping Willow. You'll meet lots of demons before you wind up at the Quidditch competition - including Aragog (the enormous hungry spider) and, yes, evil Lord Voldemort.

Didn't someone confirm that Voldemort won't be on the ride?!

**End Spoilers!**

And about Hogsmeade, looks like there will be snow!

Because Hogsmeade is above the tree line in Scotland, Universal has dappled the rooftops with fake snow that sparkles; expect to be surprised by "snowfall" as you meander the village.
"Magical things are going to happen. Atmospheric things, magic come to life. Inside somewhere, where you least expect it," Daurio says.

About the music in WWoHP

Background music will play throughout the Wizarding World - 48 tracks from the films will evoke memories from the movies, including "Hedwig's Theme," the signature tune that has opened several of the films.

Sorry if I am reiterating anything, but some of these are things I personally haven't heard yet.

EDIT:

Also, I don't know if the frozen drink thing was confirmed or not. I'm looking forward to seeing the Wizarding World stein, hopefully it's cooler than that silver one in the conectp art, ulness that was just what the regular cup looks like.

You can buy it chilled or as a frozen drink, and you can choose to have it in a souvenir Wizarding World stein for an additional charge.

I think some of your post Kitfisto, are more appropriate for the FJ Spoiler topic...but the post was cool none the less. I didn't read the FJ parts but 48 tracks?! :jaw:

It's back up and running? my bad!

 

[Jmaff]

It's not a problem lol. I never read anything associated with the ride...well actually I did but that info was information I figured or knew months ago. It's all good!

 

[crazyidea]

The anticipation is killing me. I play a game in my head to pass the time... It's where I think of an event said to take place on the ride I.E. Dementors, and I try to list the effects that have to take place in order for it to be convincing.

cold air
a dementor flying
suction
Anyone else?

OMG Guys the Ellen video was awesome!

It will air friday but it was shown during the live taping

You get good looks at the storefronts

They Get served butterbeer

Then They go in the owl post

The kids get brooms (ellens broom is a swiffer lol)

They go in Ollivander's (ellens wand is a metal detector lol)

The go in Dumbledore's office, ellen swiffers his desk

They find copy of ellen's books amoung his collection of books

There are Beauxbatons outside dancing

They rode Flight of the Hippogriff

They had a snowball fight

There was video shot in another store that showed quidditch balls and other memorabila

and ellen wrapped them in a giant gryffindor scarf and told they kids since it wouldn't be open for a couple months she would have to cast a spell on them to forget everything they just saw

Thats awesome! Do you have a link to the video? I guess they did ride FJ if they were in dumbledore's office. They probabally weren't allowed to have cameras. But anyway, thanks for the update!

 

[kitfisto92]

Thanks for the update Bryan, any links?!

 

[universal chris]

has anyone ever rode FJ. (ride creators bulders ECT.)

I don't know, but I think Ellen did.

 

[Bryan]

I don't believe they rode FJ that was not implied, i think the ride is still off limits

I'm sure someone will put the video online after it airs Friday

I didn't record the screen while it aired cause i only had a cell phone and was 50 feet from the screen avoiding the rain so it wouldn't have come out good
