I'd say your chances are pretty good.

Great if i go i will try to give a photo update if possible

but it's not on a coaster track and it doesn't move like a coaster

 

[KEH]

Probably better not to risk it. Thanks for the help! I will still enjoy the walk through the castle!

Doubt it. I read somewhere that employees were saying they only were scheduled in TWWoHP until 3 PM today.

 

[Cody F.]

Thanks!

It might be because I have a horrible memory, but I don't recall anybody mentioning the rumored giant wizard chess scene in FJ... any word on that?

 

[Teebin]

Yes it was, and it does move up and down.

Thanks, I knew it was supposed to but I had not seen a video of it so wasn't sure if it was "turned on".

Ooooh, the things that I wish I could show and tell you all... yet alas, that would be a forbidden journey indeed. :look:

The scenes in the American Scenic concept art did not all make it into the ride because American Scenic did not get the job. I believe it was confirmed the the Chess Scene is not in the ride.

softs for tommarow?

Facebook says your content is unavailable. Did you make you set the privacy to everyone?

It says everyone so I'm not sure what the problem is. I will try and look into it though.

I got an email from Universal about the special. It will be available to view on NBC.com starting June 7.

cool, will watch it. thanks for the info.

But still want to download it....for keeps.... since I cant record NBC.com....

 

[youhow2]

It totally just took me 3 days to catch up with this thread.... wow... miss a day and it's li it takes forever to catch up!

 

[Jmaff]

I am very excited for the special tomorrow night but why do I get the feeling that they will show parts of the ride including a quick AA shot like the infamous T-Rex shot in a lot of Universal Studios promos?

You guys think they'll spoil the FJ showing how they made it and such?

 

[Bryan]

No I don't think you'll see any of the technology behind the ride or the vehicles or anything like that

 

[Mookie]

Mookie,

Was this Mandrake in the plant store window and if so, was it moving by any chance?

Yes you can see it at 3:10 in this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMPsqtPu2I4

 

[rinacee]

The special is only 30 minutes according to my DVR...so I doubt we'll see anything too in-depth--especially the inner workings of FJ.

Yesterday I went to Ollivanders for the show, and also purchased an Ollivanders wand in the Owl Post according to the chart. Is there more than one type of wand per birthday dates? I bought mine just thinking that they must all be same if they're in the same color boxes, but then when I got home and looked at it more closely, mine is a snake with a skeleton carved into it. Does that mean I'm a Slytherin?? Oh well, it was the box that I was drawn to picking up, had a weird feeling picking it up, so I guess I was meant to have that one.
