Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

[Octobers Fade]

World's first hover seating. It'll rotate around the lagoon like the Carousel of Progress, and be powered by Stark Industry's newest Repulsor technology.

Fixed it.

 

[jtsalien]

Fixed it.

Knew there was a word for it!

But anyway. Vertical construction. Yay.

I had to laugh earlier on Twitter. Mugglenet finally caught on to the lagoon wall being a replica of Victoria Embankment.

And check out the Victoria Embankment benches!

Those benches would tie in well with some old Jablochkoff Candle style lamps

(Best pic I could find, sorry!)

Well they were the ones who said Jaws couldn't go anywhere cause Speilberg OWNED the land.

So I made this:

It's based on one of the stores in Diagon Alley and I used it to make a shirt design on Threadless. Basically it was a LOT of pointilism and subsequent tears, but I do hope it gets printed. Anyways! Just thought I'd share. :smiley:

(Btw, it's supposed to look crooked, bent, and worn. I swear I can draw a straight line!)

 

[Hatetofly]

Love the drawing, great job!

 

[Eric]

So I made this:

I am incredibly jealous of your drawing abilities. I wish I could take all my ideas and draw them out like that. Bravo!

1) hope your design makes it
2) hope Uni is building this. Wasted opportunity if not.

Baha, thanks Reel! And Eric and Hateto. :wave:

I have no doubt these facades will exceed expectations. We've already seen brilliance on a budget with Scotland. London will surpass it. I am so sure of that, especially given the feedback I've heard from true insiders.

If you'll excuse the shocking composition, this is one of the window-top details on the real thing! We simply have to have this... I will live in here. Literally, Gringotts will have nothing on this place

I'm so excited haha! Florean's, Flourish & Blott's, Madame Malkin's... *squeal* :happy:

 

[JungleSkip]

Fortescue's is the one place they NEED to have. I'll honestly be angry if it's not built.

 

[Hatetofly]

Twitter folks it's on, your welcome

There's no way this thing opens later than 2014, IMO. So much steel up already.

 

[jtsalien]

We have vertical construction! :happy:op:

Thanks hatetofly!

Perusing the Wiki, this jumps out as the most obvious shop. Ben & Jerry seem to have some sort of exclusivity deal in the park, not sure what the workaround will be, but I'm sure they can find one.

Really hoping for Borgin and Burkes myself, but I'm thinking it (and the cauldron shop and the menagerie) may end up as store fronts only.

Nice!
