Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

I know. Fire department requires at least 50 ft.

This diagram is pretty good. I dunno what the scaling is like, but the walkway is clearly just as big as the Amity one, if not bigger.

^ I believe we should all look to the Diagon sets in the tour for near exactly how the facades will play out. The picture posted the page back is looking from Gringotts towards the magic wall of the Leaky Cauldron. The picture below is taken from that wall looking towards Gringotts. So I do not believe that WWW will be on the last corner facing Gringotts but back up the street on the next corner (same side) as seen in the photo below.

That would certainly make more sense re: Ollivanders, but that would mean the WWW walkthrough was scrapped? The building next to Gringotts looks perfect for the WWW attraction.

^ The building up the street is pretty big!

But the other one (to the left of Gringotts) is even bigger and I'm struggling to think what would go in it if it isn't WWW.

 

[Teebin]

Here ya go. I believe Weasleys takes over that entire building. I believe Ollivanders takes over the other building entirely and the rest are just facades. The other side of the street is nothing but facades unless one of those names would make a great shop. Otherwise the other side of the street is almost entirely The Leaky.

Seems like having Weasley's there would create a traffic flow nightmare.


Btw, looking at the plans right now. The scale is 1 in = 80 ft. (for those interested) Edit: Just realized that is useless if you don't know the actual size of the plans.

Yeah...

 

[rhino4evr]

It makes sense to have mostly fake store fronts on the main walkinging area mainly because of traffic issues. I have a feeling the entrances to these shops will be around the corner to improve movement into the area.

 

[Disneyhead]

Does anyone think we'll be getting something like this? Perhaps a little wider?

Yes. But obviously taller with no ceiling.

And Amity always felt very tight to me so it should be fine..The IOA WW is not all that tight compared to some other areas in the resort, but it still feels very real (the huge crowds also help)

You're welcome!

Thanks Bri. Could you tell, is the rebar for the new wall piece running in a curve or is it straight? It is really hard to tell in a 2D photo.

Could someone with a size 10 mens sneaker walk the following red arrow toe to toe. Size 10 assumes your sneaker is almost exactly 12" so feel free to check yours first. As this building appears in the grading plans, it will allow us to better judge dimensions of potter 2.0.

If you have the gumption feel free to take a measuring tape and drag it corner to corner. Good luck with that!

I waer a 10.5 Nike and it measures 12". Just sayin... I am a hundred miles away so I can't help you.
Any who can can ya get a video of you doing it with crowd reaction, I think it could be pretty fuuny.

^ Too funny. Now I have this image of every OU member grabbing their sneaks and putting a ruler to the sole.

Seems accurate, but WWW's facade would make a good weenie. I think they'd put it somewhere deeper into the alley.

Who knows what it all will be. My diagram is based on the setup of Diagon at the potter tour at the studios outside of London.

That's why I said it seems accurate. But for the park, I think they'll move it.

 

[violarum]

I believe it's around 20 feet, according to the measurement tool in Google Maps.

 

[violarum]

Something informal I threw together based on my original graphic and the grading plans. I'm planning on making a much more accurate one soon.
