Slightly off-topic, but I wish Warner Bros. would expand their current deal with Six Flags, so they could build some Warner Bros. World indoor parks in the United States.

Six Flags has no intention of building parks, and they don't have the money for it either. Both Warner and Six Flags are just licensing their names/properties.

Darn, and I have no idea how bad it would be if Warner Bros. finally ended their licensing deal with Six Flags.

Also, somebody keeps removing my idea post for Universal England.

It will be interesting to see if they do high caliber attractions like Universal has, or if their attraction(s) are similar to that VR attraction that's in NYC.

Given the nature of this being specified to have a land; I'd have to imagine that an attraction of high profile makes sense.

What I'm curious of..is what NBCUniversal says. I wonder how involved they were, considering how integral Potter was to have for the thematic scale and quality of the Potter brand across the 5 parks it's featured in.

For a park that doesn't have the embarrassment of funds that Disney and Universal get, WB Dubai seems to have made some pretty solid attractions with Knight Flight, Animayhem, and Museum of Mysteries.

But yeah, the big thing to pay attention to here will be what type of ride system gets used.

Lol dude it’s Dubai…that’s like the definition of embarrassment of funds.

Per the Universal Contract, doesn’t any HP land need to be “the best quality in the world” or something like that? I dunno how you enforce that - but that was my immediate thought.

Lots of questions!

1. As said before, will there be rides? I could totally see this being just a land with no rides. Since the park is all indoors it feels like a good way to use the Ministry.
2. Did Universal know about this before the announcement? The nod in the press release makes me think yes.
3. What will the merchandise and food look like? The WB Studio Tours and Potter NYC store all sell Universal merch with Universal formulated Butterbeer. Will it be the same here?
4. When is it even opening!??!
