The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

Hate To Fly, hes apart of the OrlandoUnited Team. earlier this year, he wrote a piece on there about what FJ was going to have and that there would be a possibility of changes to other FJs. He could be wrong but usally, he gets some things correct.

Oh, that's really sick!  I wonder how he gets the info, maybe he knows a guy from Universal Creative?

 I highly doubt we are going to see anything beyond what Japan has,  Perhaps some minor details, but I am expecting our WWoHP to be the weakest version.

Ours will have WB Studios nearby. Which is kinda cool/unique

more a bigger chance to work closer to WB, which during the late 2015 time Stuart might be a little busy with a little project in WB so you never know..  I think atleast something might be special, might not be what we're expecting though..

What do you mean by HTF!?

True of that.  Alan Gilmore, a top designer at Universal Creative, sweet!  How did you find that info?  But yeah, maybe a whomping Willow with the Weasley's Flying Car would be quite awesome, although I guess they already have that on FJ.

Gilmore mentioned it himself in an interview that was televised in the Making of Diagon Alley special. Specifically, he said each version of Hogsmeade will have its own "flavor."

Also, HTF is a member of these forums. He posts on rare occasions, so keep watch!

I see what you mean since obviously we don't have as much space in Hollywood as in Florida and Japan.  However, both Despicable Me and Springfield have recieved even more theming in Hollywood than their Florida counterparts, so our Harry Potter could still have something special that Florida doesn't have, and that could easily be a superior FJ.

Why do you think that? In terms of overall size ours may actually be the largest. The only major between all 3 is the difference in angle Hogsmeade faces in relation to the castle.

Here's a graphic I put together assuming Hollywood's follows Japans layout a bit closer of all 3 in relation to Howarts castle and the forbidden journey building. This is also assuming that all 3 Hogwarts/Journey buildings are identical in size.

Here's my raw high quality footage that I've recorded in Japan.

An amazing comparison.  This is something I was looking to discover.  I noticed the position of Hogsmead seemed slightly different.  My concern is that we have a hill so close to the FJ building which will limit space and possibly hinder anything unique.  But awesome comparison photo!

It'll also be a cool to see mountains behind Hogwarts castle, which would actually be quite accurate to the films.

we now have a dragon..

Not surprised but amazing to see. The willow's metal structure was one of the first things in the castle. They were working on it long before the building was even enclosed.

Does anybody have a respirator they can lend?

Yeah bud, right after I'm done with it. I'll pack it nicely with some adult diapers, eye drops, kleenex, and a Hedwig plushie.

Seriously though, it's ridiculously amazing seeing all this progress and the little peeks into the attraction. William and I will probably be a mess as soon as they start putting up Hogwarts.

 

[Imdbman]

Wow, amazing! Awesome to see the whomping willow and the dragon now in the show building! Any word on the dementors yet?

What spot was this photo taken? Thank you.

Next to the Hollywood sign.

The dragon has yet to be seen. People saw the branches of the Whomping Willow and assumed it was the head of the dragon (which I still don't quite understand). The Whomping Willow is visible now because it's the largest element of the attraction.

Smaller pieces like the dragon and Dementors may not be seen until we're on the ride in 2016. It's very rare to see the work going on inside the building this far into the project, and it's only possible because the back of the yet-to-be-covered show building is facing toward the general public.

Since I haven't kept up for a couple months, what major things have been going on with Potter?
