Not too sure. Possibly one of the press conferences. Several people were reporting that Universal stated that as an estimate.

Hmm I wonder if they can still open the crossover to USF from Islands or if the crossovers were removed due to the Rockit.

Now that I think of it, the one they used from suess to boneyard is gone because of Rockit, but the one that they used during HHN from LC to entrance by mummy building is still there, wonder if that will be in use.

Teebin, if you are still taking applications, I will volunteer my services for free. As long as I get close to the twins. hehehe :lol:

Tomorrow will be a madhouse! I can honestly see someone standing at doors and entries with counter tickers. Stores will have lines like Ollivanders already does. My anxiety level is going to go up even though I'm 11 hours away. :lol:

I still think they can use the HRRR area, but do what they did last year during HHN. Past under surtain sections of HRRR and not run the ride (only because they don't have netting). But that would creat an up-set though. :doh:

Becuase that is what they have done in the past to alleviate crowds.

They could do it, but Universal and me think that would just be wasting money.

They would put up checkpoints to make sure people had 2 park tickets, it's extra staffing but it helps take pressure off the front gate and allow people to move more easily throughout both parks.

--- Update ---

They did it before they had rockit blocking one of the two possible crossovers, im not sure when, but it was the last time universal was busy so like 5 years ago?

But with an escort so that the person/people don't start wondering off in employee areas.

well the crossovers had those concert like barriers lining a walkway so unless you hopped over you couldn't get outside the lane provided. I seem to remember security stationed around the crossover making sure no one wandered around.

Oh my Rowling, I'll need it. Luckily (or unluckily depending on how you look at it) I'm scheduled from 2-11. Haven't decided if I want to drop by earlier though to just check things out...

BTW: Dreamcat, where do you work? I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you in person yet. :)

*inhale through the nose* *exhale through the mouth* :lol: I have social anxiety and I don't deal well with crowds. Hence why I'm waiting to go until the end of September. Just the pics of the crowds will get it peaking. Someone here posted a pic of one of the book releases and my anxiety level shot up all that day. It's all fun and games until Honey falls over in a seizure. Just kidding. I do have seizures when my anxiety is high enough but that hasn't happened in years thankfully.

There is a pic on the WWoHP Uni site. A little girl with a butterbeer. Is she just some random cute kid?

What I'm anxious to see is how bare the merch shelves are going to be. If they were already selling out with just the softs, one can imagine.

A couple videos.

First, the pygmy puff naming ceremony! Excuse my lame shooting/voice. And sadly, I've recently learned that what I read was improper so it isn't Kaimi ("KY-me"), but rather, Ka'imi ("kah-EE-me"). Oh well, prettier that way. Hawaiian for "The Seeker."

[video=youtube;kEzKafgwICU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEzKafgwICU[/video]

Ollivander's Wand Selection. This man was fantastic even if the kid wasn't too into it. :] Can I just say how GREAT the lighting is i this shop? This almost looks like a piece of film footage at some points.

[video=youtube;G5CTixqLuNM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5CTixqLuNM[/video]

Hippogriff Ride POV

[video=youtube;rjO6R40JNR4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjO6R40JNR4[/video]

The rest of the videos are here: http://www.youtube.com/user/witbeforemeasure

Anyone else getting up extra early to watch the video streaming tomorrow morning?

Heya there guys, I've been quite sick and haven't been on the computer (Albeit I have been on my iTouch for Tumblr and Facebook, but that's pretty much it.) to finish my review since yesterday, but I made myself get on and watch the opening ceremony. Let's just say my fever got worse from my excitement, and I used about 20 tissues, half for my nose, and half for my eyes. I thought the whole thing was just excessively mind blowing. I was simply blown away. As for the fact that the stars were here for these past days... I'm sure my fever got worse because of that, too, haha.

I died too much the past couple of days, and I think I just have to regain myself and live a little again (See, I reincarnate every time I die.) until Monday when I go back again with my girlfriend. I won't be taking pictures again, but I'll be sure to actually finish my review (It's about 5 pages unedited on Word, size 11 font...). If anyone is going on Monday, be sure to find the dead kid with his girlfriend trying to pull him along, haha. I'll try to be very early to get a reasonably place in line for you-know-what. Love you guys, and I'll see y'all tomorrow! Have to rest to watch the actual grand opening tomorrow. ;)

(P.S. You-know-what is that really awesome experience inside that one castle. If I say its name, I fear I might think about it again, and then die once more. Lemmetellya, my stamina is not at its peak, haha!)

(P.P.S. ♪ I met dreamcat, I met dreamcat, laa la la laaa laa! ♪ [It was big for me to meet someone from here. xD] )
