The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

A girl my GF knows sent her these pics. Kinda cool...

The castle entrance



Adding windows

 

[Jon Fu]

It's looking good. Thanks for the shots!

 

[...]

In case anyone's wondering, new structures past the Hog's Head Pub framing all but point to a Japanese Hogsmeade port. And there's also this weird groundbreaking going on by the new restrooms with steel reinforcements so maybe they're going to fill in the slope by the Greenhouses already?

 

[Jon Fu]

^ Yes, I saw that but I didn't include it in the recent photo update. Here's a photo:

They were digging/drilling today right by the photo kiosks (literally like 5 feet away) but I have no idea what's going on there. Either they're filling in the hill or they're building some type of walkway to surround the restrooms?

Odd. What would be the point of a walkway surrounding the restrooms, though?

For the new grab and go.

I am watching this Japanese port very closely...  I still do not believe we are getting a lake.

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ I think it's safe to safe that we 100% won't get a lake Especially at the elevation our Wizarding World is in relation to the Studio Tour bellow it. That, and there's absolutely no room for a random and (realistically speaking) unnecessary lake.

Although I'm curious if USJ will utilize that lake somehow in the future.

Anyway,

If there's one place that could use a grab-n-go, it's the entrance to the Studio Tour. Since they even recommend bringing food on the tour, it'd be a good spot.

Some sort of an overflow?

Springfield will be the new Studio Tour food-of-choice!

Oh geez, that's so true!!! I took Doc Brown's chicken tenders on the tour quite a few times! Speaking of, I'm curious what the "Springfield sign hill" that we're supposed to be getting will look like from the Potter sign? Random hill? Cut out of trees? Or maybe look like Hogsmeade chimneys in the distance?

 

[...]

The Hogshead roofs are tall enough to block out those sightlines. Also, the sign hill won't go much taller than the current structure based on the concept art.

 

[William]

I don't really wanna see Hogsmeade roofs from within Springfield, but at the same time, I'll behead someone if I see the backside of a 2D façade when I'm actually in Hogsmeade. I really hope they figure it out, though.

I'm with ya, buddy. Although considering Springfield is supposed to be connected to the Three Broomsticks, maybe the Three Broomsticks will will completely conceal any Springfield backdrop?

Okay, that's something I am thoroughly confused with. When you're approaching the Studio Tour arch, it looks like The Three Broomsticks and Hogs Head are right there. How would that make sense, though, if the heart of Springfield is facing the StarWay? Maybe I'm confusing the structure with something else (restrooms, Ollivanders?).

 

[Allen The Actor]

I mean, it could be that Springfield and Hogsmeade will only PARTIALLY share a kitchen. That could be possible as well.

By the way, guys, Forbidden Journey is being covered in DensGlass as we speak! They're covering the show building!
