Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Hedwig201]

So if I wanted to catch a possible sneak peek of DA I should watch the Today Show tomorrow? Which, according to my TV Guide, is 4 hours long...does that show usually run for that time? That's kind of crazy.....

Tonight there was a large cloud of smoke billowing out of the North station during testing (around 10ish), and smoke coming from the train itself. Wardrobe's have been finalized. Training has started. It's coming..

roker was getting a tour today of diagon by the attractions supervisor for diagon. Roker apparently couldn't believe the amazing-ness that is the hogwarts express.

I'll be at the park at 8 am sharp just in case anything happens.
If nothing, a fun day at universal like always lol

Um... Roker is back in NYC this morning. Now I search for the logic in why this is the case. Does it mean anything?

So much for my silly hunch! Sorry!

 

[BrianC]

I got up early to watch this.. not even a tease so far. Maybe they're going to show it sometime next week?

 

[TubaGeek]

Here's my assumption: they were planning on doing two things in Orlando. One, a controlled, prerecorded segment of Roker, which was shot. Two, a live, slightly less controlled shot with plain-clothes Team Members for the audience, which was canceled because they weren't prepared to have live cameras in there to catch potentially unfinished areas.
Just my guess.

I have a feeling now that Al just filmed this stuff to have for next week maybe, when Disney is doing all their press for their new Mine Train coaster, Universal will pull out the grand opening announcement to get the attention back on them...

They're eating meatless meat right now. I'm done. I give up.

Per the crazy one on twitter... Wyndham is getting a cooler colored (more toward the blue spectrum) overlay paint and antiquing this morning.

 

[freediverdude]

What happened?? I thought there was supposed to be a big announcement on the Today show this morning! Don't make me flick my soon-to-be-mine interactive wand at them!

 

[MrRoamer]

The interactive wands are shaping up to be something that I am very excited about. I can't wait to run through the parks Avada Kedavera'ing everything.

Great pics, Miketheboss ! The antiquing and cooler hue look great. So excited that Wyndham is soon going to look like it's made of stone, and not vanilla icing.

No problem. These pics are from OTPN. Just brought them over here to share them. They have more pictures on their website if your interested.

I worry that the new antiquing of Wyndham will just sit there now waiting for AG's approval. God forbid he is in Japan right now.

btw, I don't believe for one minute that the first coat was a mistake, rather an under color that still shows through this new lighter layer.

Thanks for posting them here.

Yeah, I agree. Clearly the 'cream coat' was an undercoat. But it just made me so anxious seeing it in incomplete form, and knowing how much better it was going to look once they put another layer on it.

Ah cool. The berm is looking great with all those new trees.
