I agree. I am an avid Potter fan and the first time I rode it, I had no idea what was happening. Mainly, because I was so overwhelmed and the ride was so amazing.

I certainly found it overwhelming, but it was pretty easy to figure out if you're a fan of the series.

I didn't mind that it was overwhelming the first time. It definitely adds to its re-rideability.

Orlando Sentinel posted a few construction photos. Again, you can see that the second tower crane is being installed near the FFL side of the construction site.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. :-X

As of today, that second tower crane is completely assembled.

Knowing Universal's secrecy lately, I'm sure they will cover the front and exposed side before anything goes in the building

I remember when rumors of gringotts started way back when but does anyone know if those came from someone with inside information or was it just speculation? From what I remember it seemed like an idea someone threw out but now its happening

If there was going to be a Potter Phase II then the obvious new land was going to be Diagon. If there was going to be a Diagon then there was going to be a Gringotts. If there was going to be a Gringotts then the top ride of Phase II was an obvious given.

Admittedly I haven't been keeping fully up to date with this project, but I seem to remember that the leaked Gringott's ride information suggested that it was going to involve large screens as well as physical sets. One would assume that given this information, new material would need to be shot featuring the main cast of the Potter films. Am I the only one concerned that given the expected construction timeline the main cast may look substantially older than they do in FJ and the films by the time footage is shot? Or could it be possible that additional footage could have already been shot during the filming of the Deathly Hallows films? This wasn't an issue that came to mind during the construction of FJ as at that point in time the film series was on-going, but now it is over, how do you all think Universal is going to handle this?

Personally, I think the leaked plot of the ride was not true. I don't think we'll be seeing the main cast involved with this attraction.
