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

Just thought I would share I'm in line for the fj right now. Sorry had to brag and its brokedown .

Thanks for the update! With the Wait Times website not available anymore, I'm in the dark (In wait times and breakdown perspective).

Yeah, we've discussed the mugs in the merchandise thread I noticed it when I was there this past weekend...and I can CONFIRM that they give you refills--I got two throughout the day with my stein, so yes, they honor the refills in the old cup.
Have fun TSSD!

I bet the people around you were jealous. I would be. On my first day I didn't even glance at the butterbeer cart -- due to the massive line -- and I went in to the hog's head bar to get my first butterbeer "in the mug, please." I was instantly confused when he said, "The mugs are only for Hog's Head Ale, but you can get butterbeer in this cup."

Ahh, but this means the line isn't moving at breakneck speeds, so you can actually enjoy the queue. or take pictures. lots of pictures. and post them on a certain forum that wants them.

Just got back to the house, we didn't actually leave the WWoHP until almost 11PM. Got in the FJ queue at 9:50 with a posted 60 minute wait. It broke down three times during our roughly 40 minute wait. We got stopped for about 2-3 minutes on the moving walkway and were off. Another great ride, how anybody thinks this is not the best ride going is just in denial. I got some pictures from all around the resort some good some blah. I will try to get them up soon, if not tomorrow. Thanks!

Can't wait! I know I've said it before but even though my ride today was perfect and the best I've ever riddden, (finally a different seat :happy It only tied Spidey.

On the topic of Hippogriff, Great ride at night, but they added nets like the new ones on the Cat that connect from the floor to the lap bar and cover your knees.

I have to get back to Universal before school starts...*groan* I've been doing so much summer homework for A.P. classes...only 37 days left. I would like at least two of those to be spent in Uni

Same here I was plowing through the Kite Runner, dutifully taking notes and highlighting...and then I got to THAT scene and I can't find the will to keep reading...
Does anyone think they'll do something for HHN is WWoHP? I'm not very good with events like this, but I'd go if they did something for WWoHP.

 

[TheDecemberists]

rinacee, it's doubtful. I'd love it, though.

If they do anything Halloween related in WWoHP this year, it won't be Halloween Horror Nights. This year has been confirmed to be in Universal Studios only. I would like to see a Christmas event in WWoHP though.

Christmas in Hogsmeade would be absolutely beautiful!

 

[rinacee]

I agree, Emily!
And thanks Tbad! I didn't know that.

Great pictures, no apologies required. Is this wall beyond the main entrance between LC? Interesting. The changes and modifications on the WW almost vex me more than my life circumstances vexes me. And that is saying something. Thank goodness the WW has been there to be my sand and I have stuck my head in it much of the time over the past 6 months. Finally pulling it out (as circumstances have been resolved and the WW is resolved). So, what and where is this wall... and what is its purpose?

This wall is located to the left of the LC entrance next to the temp bridge Teebin. Any possibility this is for back house operations and possibly storage for HP merch. Thanks for the compliments.

 

[emily7793]

Oh, I remember seeing this! I think I saw some TM's coming in an out, any possibility for an entrance to a breakroom or something like that? I remember trying to look through a crack but I couldn't really see much.

News on minor additions from tonight's Night of a Thousand Wizards event:

Universal said Cedrick's banner isn't in Dragon Challenge queue because they took the banners right from the films. But he'll be added.

Someone asked why don't they paint the Dragon Challenge "dragons" to look more like they should. Universal said "That's a good suggestion."
