Hmm nice find. I don't know what else they would be announcing clues for besides for the theme park. So it looks like the final announcement may be on May 16th on the TV show? That's a possibility.
Mercy... I learned something fascinating today from someone here... and soon you will all find out who. Excellent find although I remain vexed.
Makes sense, second phase of Cabana Bay opens then too.
Still don't believe we're getting an announcement until we get one. I don't put anything past them at this point

It could be part of a contest. Each day there's a clue, and the person who mails in a postcard with all clues correctly answered gets put into a drawing for an all-expense paid vacation to Universal Resort. That would explain why the Today Show filmed earlier - so they have video clues for their sweepstakes. If they were allowed to film in sensitive areas, Universal may have told them to hold off until the official opening day announcement is made, or until a particular commercial is made public or something.
Such a tease! Can you at least tell us when we might hear further information? It's maddening to have someone announce that they have just found out something fascinating that they cannot tell you.

It's not that big!... Just something that I have been yelping about. Someone here found more than just a simple answer to my query. It guarantees what else is coming to this project but has not yet been seen. It's kinda cool. He was logged on a moment ago... not sure why he isn't posting as I asked him to.
My website is still down but I'll just post the picture I took today through another means. Noticed this on one of the lamps this morning:
So, I googled the name and found the manufacturer's info:

And if you click their brochure PDF you find something interesting on page 2: http://www.castiron.co.uk/brochures/CI-Catalogue.pdf

^ And scroll to pdf page number 20 to see what is going into the cutouts in the London park. Thanks GAcoaster!
Update from Orlando Theme Park News with lots of great shots of the fountain and a couple of the Leaky Cauldron sign.

I wasn't sure if anyone answered this yet(I'm playing catch up) but that sign was seen in the first movie. Harry's first trip to Diagon with Hagrid. I wished they had used that building facade as well, it was awesome.

Regarding the Leaky sign, it looks to me like they have a couldron graphic and/or painting under plexi glass that has been frosted on the front side. This would allow the graphic to be seen clearly only when you are facing it directly. All other angles, like the above would appear to be foggy and less visible. Just my thoughts. We do this at the television station I work at all the time as to avoid glare and reflection.
Cast iron literally only refers to the manufacturing process of casting these in a mold out of iron. The mold very well could have been hollow at certain points. But without a doubt these are cast something, as it's the only way to make them that makes sense.

Oh and the reason for mentioning being able to see the Dragon crane from Battery Park, by Transformers is because I'm pretty sure you'll be able to see the Dragon clear as day from across the lake over the London facades...
