Idk, but when I went to the resort with the family in July of 2008, we used the express pass for both parks in the same day for the same rides as much as 5 times. We used our 4 passes(dad,mom,brother,I) over 15 times a day. And we stayed onsite at the Royal Pacific...maybe it is a different kind of pass?

Yes, that is unlimited express that you get with onsite rooms, however, when HP opens you can only use it once per day for the FJ ride. All the other rides at IOA and Studios will be unlimited but they are expecting such large crowds it will be limited to once for that ride. A good idea would be to go early (they are saying early entry for onsite) and ride it once and see the whole queue, then later use express when the line is longer. Of course if you are staying multiple days you can see it several times.

Those chocolate frogs are huge!

^Yeah, definitely more of a realistic frog size than the size from the movies.

Terrible, just terrible :P!

Merch was pretty cool to see, but at least the women had the lesser of the two horrible projects.
If I was a casual viewer and not a Harry Potter fan, I would not be encouraged to visit after that :P

Ahh! My mom has anxiety and doesn't go on rides unless they seem safe enough. She went on the Mummy. So the plan is that we will all go through the queue and my mom will leave at the point where she could leave. After the ride is over, we will explain and whether or not she wants to go on...we will use the pass the 2nd time. This is a plan many families onsite will use most likely.

And yes the frogs are huge...and not alive lol.

Well, I knew who 2 1/2 people were. Sharon, the Gov, and sorta the brit chef. The rest are unknowns to me. But what does that have to do with this thread? Only cool part was the Uni Creative showroom.

Regarding the queue and preshows, keep in mind that there are still going to be softs for FJ as well and the entire "world". The point of softs is to test everything, and if the preshow queue line ends up being a disaster, then changes will most likely be made. Also, there could be students of professors throughout the queue and preshows telling the muggles to be quiet and listen, but that's just a possibility.

Rob is an idiot. lol



Among the merch I noticed:
HUGE chocolate frogs
broomsticks
bludgers
a green quiddich uniform
quiddich goggles
amazing movie-accurate wands
cheap shirts that say "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"
scarves
house ties
chess sets
pointed wizard hats

and I was so happy to see dobby! and that lifesized portrait behind Blagojevich in the uni creative showroom was pretty cool.

LOL you don't know Cindy Lauper? I knew most of them, one of the women I didn't, the one with long dark hair. Summer, with the long blond hair was a swimmer, and then she hosted a game show on Nickelodeon for quite a while. I don't remember what it was but it was good. A whats my line kind of thing, and people got slimed. Anyone remember it? Crap I think they may have filmed it at universal.

Well, I'm glad they fired Rod. He was clueless. I have never watched this show before and I won't do it again.
