I too would like to see some behind the scenes stuff! the technical aspects of this park (mostly FJ) seem just as impressive as the end result. Like spiderman among many others

oh! BTW Universal: Snape and Luna better be seen SOMEWHERE in the WWoHP! Anywhere! but they must be there! They're MUST! :-D CGI them into the FJ if they're not there already! :P

I can't wait till this episode of the Apprentice gets online so we can screencap the hell out of it :-D

I remember seeing glances of the cauldron cakes too (being passed out on a tray by Bret Michaels) and also on the showroom there was the picture of Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin (that indeed was the guy we've been talking about from that DVD preview) :-)

Well, we got a WWoHP preview on the Half-Blood Prince DVD and Blu-ray.........so maybe there will be an even more in depth look when the Deathly Hallows DVD and Blu-ray comes out. Sadly that will most likely be late 2011.

ScottInNY. While I dislike people talking loudly in a theme park preshow. To post your wishes here in length is like preaching to the choir. We are theme park or HP geeks and will go silent. 90% of Orlando theme park attendees are not, and they are visitors from all over the world and different cultures. If your request could be heard by them then you might have something... but you're not talking to that 90%. I understand your frustration however... yet it is what it will always be. Let's hope that Dumbledore puts his wand to his neck and yells, "SILENCE!!!!" That is all anyone can hope for in a theme park queue.
Click to expand...

Brilliant idea. Having Dumbledore yell silence is exactly the kind of device that the designers can use to create the environment I am hoping for.

Also, I think it's important to discuss this here. Universal is listening. I'm not writing these posts for the general public, I'm writing them to spark the kind of creative solutions that we are coming up with and the issues that they involve. It is my hope that we can create change.

I want frequency to have his experience being roudy with the boys AND for the walk through to be respected and experienced as the designers intended. I think it's possible for both to exist. I am enlisting our great minds - and there have been some wonderful ideas - to offer suggestions.

--- Update ---

something big is coming...

I am off to bed, but earlier, I stopped posting because I was given a lead to something big. (I'm pulling a Teebin.) Not going to even drop a hint at the moment, but I think I'm very close to discovering AND having it verified something that we have all been very curious about. This is huge. Stay tuned.

Is it the Chamber of Secrets being confirmed? How about Fluffy, Grawp and Voldemort? Wait, what about DOBBY AND LUNA BEING THE MAIN THEME OF THE RIDE!

off topic but i need help !!!!!!
In about a year i graduate from high school and i still don't know what i want to be. I love this kind of stuff but i don't know what its called ????? . How do you get the job and do they pay well? How much school do you need?? Sorry for all the questions. (dont get mad at me) Who are the people that design and figure all the visual things out. I love to design something and then see it come to life and this project just shows the ability of a group of designers that work together to achieve that goal.

Try the Theme Park Design Thread. Also, I think icandrawem2 might also be able to give you some advice/guidance on the subject.

Yeah i was really upset with the Dragons Challenge line. If you want to know what it looks like just look out the Dueling Dragons line and imagine no skulls. Yes, that's it. And the little banners are the real deal which is also a little disapointing going from Choose Thy Fate to banners.

Let's just see if this is really "it".

I mean, if I was Universal, i didn't want DD to be closed for months. I would do most of the work and then again open up an in between version of DD/DC to the pulic. At the same time I wouldn't like to reveal the total queue experience yet. So, just before the real thing opens completely, I would shut the queue down again and work like a madman on it, to turn in into the final version.

Don't you think that is quite a plausible scenario?

Guys the ep is on YouTube in sections. I can't link from my iPod app but search for celebrity apprentice s9e04 part 5 I think is the one with the actual wwohp stuff I watched part 4 and it seemed to be leading up to it.

Going to watch now and I will edit if wrong.

Some of you may not of noticed on the Apprentice tonight... but while they were in the Universal Creative room, the mega item that I said would be in the ride, and fit inside my drawing was present. The model was there for it on the table against the wall! Tiny there... but mega on the ride.

And no, it wasn't the dobby figure.

I saw the Womping Willow. There was an entire table with items that appeared to be related to scenes in FJ.

okay everyone i watched the hp part and you guys were right... LOTS of stuff!! i switched over to the laptop since i couldn't see anything on the teeny ipod screen.
here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSehuzqbLAk&feature=youtube_gdata and the stuff starts at about 06:30.

here are a few rough screencaps:
(there was plenty of standard stuff like house clothes and accessories, hats, brooms, etc. i didn't bother to get that since we have all seen it. also there were some shots of candy but it panned by too fast to capture, it looked very blurry.)

at first when i saw this dress, i thought it was bellatrix's:
bellatrix.jpg


but after i capped this pic of two of the founders (helga hufflepuff and salazar slytherin):
hufslyth.jpg


i realized the dress i'd seen earlier HAD to be FOUNDER'S COSTUMES!
here is a better shot of Hufflepuff and Slytherin,
founderscostumes.jpg

which would make the first ones Godric Gryffindor's and Rowena Ravenclaw's!!
whether they will be for sale is anyone's guess. i think i might fprk out for ravenclaw's dress. it's gorgeous!

hagrid's hut looks great and has giant pumpkins:
hagridhut.jpg

giantpumpkin.jpg


and here's dobby!
dobby.jpg


the yule ball gown and a slytherin quidditch uniform:
sorry the size is screwed up
yule2.jpg


here are some of the wands briefly shown (are these noble collection or new ones?) and also what looks to be Hufflepuff's Cup (or maybe a souvenir butterbeer stein?). it has some sort of crest etched into it:
wandscup.jpg


and the wizard chess set looks substantial and of good quality.. i want one!
chessh.jpg


in the background here you can see a quidditch display. i think the triangle box is filled with bludgers?
triangleyd.jpg


close-up of the chocolate frogs.
chocfrogs.jpg


to get a frame of reference, here is a shot fo the same wooden display plate. you can see how big te frigs will be! also on this plate is some sort of an unidentified dessert (i think). any guesses?
dessert.jpg


there's a zonko's display but i can't really decipher what any of the products are:
zonko.jpg


the triwizard cup loks awesome! i wonder if this is a movie prop, a model, or the one that will appear in the dc queue..
tricup.jpg


here's a little model of buckbeak, so small i wonder if they will be selling figurines. i hope so!
buckbeak.jpg


teebin this pic is for you. i'd like to solve the puzzle. ;)
willowq.jpg


under the three broomsticks concept art is a round thing. is this a model butterbeer barrel?
whatisthat.jpg


and who is this? (i love the house hats, also seen on ellen... HAVE TO have one!)
whoisthis.jpg


okay that's all i got. if anyone has better quality caps awesome. or feel free to mark these up however you need if you find anything else cool in them. :D

I took also some screenshots of the Celebrity Apprentice episode. I guess these are a bit better in quality than the ones SL_ZER0 already posted, but would love to see some HD ones!

These images are amazing! Thank you so much for them.

I have a little more research to do before I share what I've discovered, but it's good...

Love the detailed prop and atmosphere areas that probably have counterparts or duplicates in the actual park. Quidditch gear, accesories and all.

Also we got a pretty good look at the Wands last night. I don't think there is going to be aby interactivity or accesories for them from what we saw. Which is a good thing for people like me who just want the value novelty of having a prop.

I am still going to go with the thought that any interactivity will be controlled by the actor playing The Wand Keeper who may be able to trigger certain effects or mishaps when you are waving different wands.
