It has been assumed for a long time that Hogwarts would be a modified version of the Gibson structure. It now appears that they are in the process of tearing down the whole building.

This makes me wonder if Hogwarts won't be positioned in exactly the same spot as the Gibson. Maybe the new park map can give us a clue.

Notice the strange buildings that I put a red box around. Could this be a hint to the real position of Hogwarts?

It's possible. We've been saying for a few weeks now that it seems like they're completely leveling the Gibson. If they completely push the new Forbidden Journey building as close as possible against citywalk, maybe it'll give us even more room for a full size Hogsmeade, even better Hippogriff ride, and heck, maybe that rumored Great Hall experience or something extra. I truly believe they'll make the best of the space they have, while improving on Orlando's design and space issues.

One thing that I think we'll see for sure in Hogsmeade is that it'll be a different shape than Orlando's. Which makes sense, and wouldn't take anything away from the integrity of the land either. Having a slightly different path and shape to Hogsmeade would be realistic and be made to fit into the space!

Perhaps, but I wouldn't put too much weight into those symbols. If anything, I'd like to see what the initial structure looks like before we start speculating on the position or orientation of the building. If past projects are any indication, things could change quite dramatically.


Either way, I'd be shocked if Hollywood's Potter wasn't an improvement over Florida's existing experience.

I've also been thinking of that. i'm not sure but it could. I'm kinda agreeing with allen as we might get the full hogsmeade. Hippogriff we'll see but i am still hoping for great hall.

One thing about this land that I've been thinking about: it doesn't have to be an EXACT clone of Orlando's in terms of layout. I'm sure ours will be just as big as Orlando's, but our Hogsmeade will be made to fit a different layout. Same with Hippogriff. It can be a similar coaster, but they can easily make it fit whatever space we'll have for the ride and it'll be unique. No need to clone it over!

And honestly, same with Hogwarts. They can have the same queue and rooms, but have the layout maybe be a bit different. I think all this is a huge possibility, especially since they want to improve what Orlando originally did.

I'm really curious if they'll maybe have another extra or smaller experience in place of Dragon Challenge. Maybe the Great Hall will indeed be that other "extra" experience? Also, I'd make Hagrid's Hut a practical set we can explore!

That's pretty much what a lot of us have been saying for like half a year! That's definitely going to be our best preview. Although layout wise, I doubt it would be identical to Osaka's considering the two Potter expansion plots in both parks aren't the same shape.

really is sad to see it going but lets focus on the possitives. now i believe there will be a large hogsmeade due to the possibility of the building go really close to citywalk.

You can say that again! I'm doing so many double takes at the park recently because of all the construction. My body still kind of has the old park look engraved in my brain and sense memory, so it's odd looking around and seeing so much change in so little time.

I'm loving it though! None of this is cheap slapped on additions like The Simpsons ride. This is all new and well funded additions, and I can't wait to see USH transform. No pun intended.

Well, yes and no. I'm under the impression (and based on recent construction pictures), that Osaka's is going to be a darn close replica of Orlando's, with a few of the problem areas taken care of. Hollywood's will be wildly different from both just because of the park's layout and space available.

I think the only thing I'm curious about from Osaka will be any technological advancements and what the problem areas look like!

I think Japan will give us a good idea what our Forbidden Journey ride will be like. But I think our Hogwarts castle will be bigger than Japan's with more stuff in it than just the ride.

In other news, Harry cast a shrinking spell on the Gibson theater.

So some debris from the Gibson fell on the path of the Studio Tour today.
