Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[UNIrd]

With cast member previews rumored to be starting the 25th, could we see the dragon up this weekend hopefully...or next week?

I'd say once the dragon is installed, we're pretty much ready to go. But I'm thinking that'll be during the week.

Shame about the fire hydrant! Am guessing they can't move that? or would be too much work to relocate and make authentic...

This, is, amazing. Roll on December!

Nearly choked at that article! Read most, skipped the most spoiler-ey parts, but looked at all the pictures and oh. my. god. :happy:

That video :drool: I wanted to resist spoilers since I plan on being there for soft openings (if they ever happen, and if they, don't I'll be there for the grand opening). But I just can't resist, it's too tempting. It all looks so amazing!

This is what I've been waiting for. Great new information! I'm excited to try all the flavors of ice cream at FF. Ones they mention include Earl Grey, Clotted Cream, Sticky Toffee, Apple Crumble, Chocolate Raspberry, and Chocolate Chili. I hope they have a bunch more unusual flavors as well.

Still no sign of the dragon.













Update from later in the day: Looks like they are just about done with this window.

Thank you for the pictures, mebweb! Goodness that article just brightened my day. Can't wait for opening!

I can't wait for someone from here to give the pussycat a rap with their knuckles. :wave:

That would be difficult.

I expected a huge entrance like Hogsmeade has but I just cant see it, unless I'm missing something really obvious

It seems Universal Creative has successfully cast its disillusionment charms.

The street itself just oozes such atmosphere; the details are incredible. I adore the wall map pointing to the Fountain of Fair Fortune with the Marauders' Map style footprints on it.

In this photo, I know the angle is a bit limited, but look how good the steps next to Gringotts look:

At the bottom of the article there is a slideshow of new pictures. Notice none are of Gringotts, since it isn't finished yet with the dragon...
