I assume they're going to assign you to an individual cabin so that you wont be able to see the load side once the ride attendant closes you in. Or am I wrong?
Regarding the HE, I am really curious how they are going to transition the windows, especially on the load side. Will one be able to see out from the hallways outside the compartments to the actual load station? If not, will they be projecting from the get-go... meaning, live load platform projections? Are the current load side windows blacked out or clear to the interior?
If not projections on load, how will they transition the windows to projections once loaded?
Ok so your compartment from the load side will have frosted glass doors. Meaning once your cabin door is closed you won't see out. They will use projectors to project outlines of stuff to make it look like things are right outside your door in the hallways.
What are the three shows unless they are including the wand show as one then what are the other two?

:thumbs:Maybe the windows that are facing the station will be normal windows that view the station, but once you go into your compartment and the doors are shut you won't see them anymore, so they don't have to worry about hiding the backstage. And when you walk into your compartment the fake windows will be showing a simulated view of the other side of the station...
I don't think you'll get to Platform 9 and 3/4 until the train is back at KC and all riders from Hogsmeade have exited or nearly exited, therefore maintaining the illusion that it is waiting there just for you.
You know..sometimes a little extra line is worth a little extra magic..I'm all for it, and I will wait for it..It is a memory that people will remember forever..let it happenThe problem with that is they have said that we will go through the brick wall 1 at a time. If thats the case, and the first person can't go through the wall until the train is parked and everyone is off the train, it's going to be a massive slowdown. What is it 180 people per train? Even if it only takes a person 5 seconds to go through, that's 15 minutes per train. Actually, that pretty much shows that their will need to be multiple brick wall effects. I think they are going to have to split people into multiple groups to make this work at all.
Will it always be daytime (and always the same exact weather conditions) as we travel from park to park and look out windows on the Hogwarts Express?
Or is it possible there wil be an evening/nighttime version once the sun goes down?

Aaah... that solves many problems... but how will they know when the witch with the treats is going by? She would only appear a frosty shadow. Or perhaps this is a theme park attraction that had to bend a few rules and there will be no concession witch. :blank:
