This has to be the Fountain of Fair Fortune right?If that concept art is accurate, it answers the question of what this thingie is on the blueprints. It's a drink stand.

Just realized, why is no one wearing 3D goggles in the latest Geingotts concept...?
Will those windows not be the London water front side? Otherwise train be facing wrong direction?
So... I went to York yesterday and I am CONVINCED that a street call "the shambles" is the influence for Diagon Alley.
I recall seeing you stare intently at roof joints.Many things... like people walking up to me in theme parks and asking me what I am staring at... I stare so intently, and with purpose. :smiley:
New update from Screamscape today:
June 2014 - Wizarding World of Harry Potter - DIAGON ALLEY - (5/10/14) A few more details about the Gringotts ride and Diagon Alley ride came out last night during a team member Q&A session about the new Diagon Alley area. The ride experience itself on Gringotts is said to be approximately four minutes long and as expected, the entire main queue for the attraction will be indoors.
They would not confirm or deny the revived rumors that suggest interactive wands might be sold to cause certain magical things to happen around the Wizarding World, however there was also a mention about something called “dark corners” which they would not discuss.
We’ve already seen some minor changes made to the Hogsmeade side of things, with the closure of the old Zonko’s shop (and expansion of Honeydukes), and while no major details were mentioned, management did confirm that a few more changes would be made to Hogsmeade down the line.
A question also came up regarding the transportation of strollers on the Hogwarts Express ride when traveling between the parks. Only compact fold-up strollers will be allowed onto the Hogwarts Express, however guests who have rented ECVs will have to leave it at one station and pick up another one at the other station.
An exact opening date was not given at the presentation, though a Loews chairman slipped up in a presentation the other day and mentioned that Diagon Alley would have a “mid-June” opening. This falls in line with a rumored June 20th date that I’ve heard mentioned, but again… a lot can happen between now and then and Universal isn’t going to open anything until it is ready. With that in mind, if you are just dying to see Diagon Alley (and I know thousands of you are!) keep your travel plans flexible.
Nothing really new here except the dark corners bit but thanks for sharing!
I just want to go on a date it soft opens, has anyone heard anything on a soft opening date?
I just booked a room for June 24-30. Are the odds good that it will be open by then? I have heard rumored dates of the 18th and the 20th of June. Going to wait on airfare until I am 100% sure it will be open. Its so much easier (and free) to change a room but the airfare is a different story, lol.
