Nope but the queue is designed for eventually addition of it, like at FJ.

Thanks. Man I can't wait until people are free to give in-depth spoilers and post pics and videos online.
I honestly think that the rides and parks run so much smoother without express passes. When Disney and then Uni introduced them, it completely killed the line waiting experience and made an exciting wait into a drawl of standing around.
I really hope they don't open express anytime soon.

Interesting.. The only negatives I felt about FJ were screen based but I understand this one is even more screens than that.

I have to guess this means more immersion and sensation effects.
The screens on FJ only bothered me at the end with the final two celebration screens because I hated seeing a completely empty set in the foreground with celebrating on what is so obviously a screen. Therefore, I almost think this will be an improvement as we will not have any repeats of that sort.
Well, despite of the thrills, technical feats, and incredible effects.. It really is one of the most poorly conceived stories for such a high profile ride.

That final scene probably worked better in 3D.
I'm guessing Gringotts is a more focused experience compared to the "how many iconic locations can we cram into 4 minutes" FJ.

Story, the most useless word in theme parks.
Some friends have to protect jobs and things of that nature.

FJ is a fun and thrilling ride, but half of the time I have a hard time following along. Espeically if you aren't familiar with all the "potter language". My wife who has never read the books, or watched the movies came out saying "that was fun, but what just happened?"

Thanks for the pics, awhen and TheLastAshen! :thumbs:
I think we are to assume that he is standing on top of some furniture. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see Kreacher with the balcony railing in front of the lower part of the window, and if they put him on one of the upper windows, he might be too far away to appreciate.

New blog post about the entertainment and interactive elements of Diagon Alley. (Nothing on the interactive wands.)
Puppet shows, musical groups, Knight Bus, currency exchange.

Wow! I'm shocked that the Wizard currency can actually be used within the park.

I can't wait to see the puppet shows. The pictures of the three brother puppets look incredible.
