Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

There is no bridge between Marvel and Toon. The Crumpit thread was rudely awaken by a feather of an idea from screamscape. The idea that something is going to happen to LC anytime soon is a fart in the wind.

Florida Thrills Network has a great photo update covering pretty much all ongoing UOR construction: http://www.floridathrills.net/content/ftn-universal-orlando-report-07-16-2012-681/

P.S. - Hats off to FTN for the views of Amity from the Simpsons queue. I can't say that anyone else has posted pictures from that particular vantage point! :happy:

If they've been doing anything in the Jaws ride area you certainly can't see it from that vantage. You can see the waterfront construction quite easily (and better, I think) from the landing next to Lombard's. This is a picture I took last week, and even then it doesn't appear too much has changed.

 

[ReelJustice]

I imagine the 2nd wall segment has been poured or is ready to be poured.

 

[Teebin]

Thanks Maxair. Yeah, Bob's peek over the wall a week ago showed that the distant higher part of the show building's grade is finished. I would assume this means the lower parts are done too.

Here is the 7:00 continuation of the story in the SS44 thread. Putting it here since the so called "scoop" in this one is the water management files, in which they show most notably, the Hogsmeade station plans.

Skip to 1:40 in the video to avoid repetitive dribble regarding Transformer and FLE.

We have, from Animal Actors though. Same height so it's essentially the same. Thanks for taking part. :thumbs:

The hyper zoom on this picture looks like the most busy Papa Johns has always been right next to Jaws. Just look at all the cars in the parking lot.

Ah, good old Duncan. Poor guy never gets asked real questions anymore.

Ah, good old Duncan. Poor guy never gets asked real questions anymore.

I am not familiar with him. Was he once famous or something? Why was he once asked good questions?

 

[maxairmike]

He's popular (with the media) and familiar from his time in Disney HR. He helped set up the College Program. There are also numerous Duncan jokes between the Rosen students, although I couldn't tell you them as well as a student could. One of my Rosen friends, when I told her about the interview, laughed and asked if they managed to get him outside for it.

 

[Teebin]

Oh... he used to work for Disney. What does he do now or is he retired?

 

[maxairmike]

He's a professor at Rosen, evidently one of their more senior/well-respected ones.

Okay thanks, I aren't too sure whether to trust screamscape or not, most updates are accurate but some are just ideas or the faintest or rumours, right? And I keep forgetting that this Phase 2 thread is now under USF, which was moved from Miscellaneous Universal which was originally a poll from IOA. Is this still where we discuss the Phase 2 Hogsmeade Station stuff happening at IOA, even though it's filed under USF?

 

[Hatetofly]

Everything regarding Phase 2 is open for discussion here :thumbs:

 

[Teebin]

This is where WW 2 is discussed, yes. Enjoy reading screamscape as we all do, but don't take it as a source of fact. Also, look around at the other sites like this and draw your own conclusions. No one site is conclusive.

 

[ReelJustice]

I can't believe a news program ran that story. SMH.

 

[John321]

:iagree:

 

[tribbleorlfl]

It would probably work better if Universal came up with some clever name to make the pass sound like a bit more. How about the Escape Pass? :doh:

I seriously doubt Uni will ever use the word "Escape" in any form of marketing ever again.

Death is only the beginning :sneaky:
