Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

Hmm... there is still Wyndham and Leicester signage to install... and perhaps the Brit flag on KC?

 

[BamaToTheBone]

What an exciting time. I wasn't around this board when Hogsmeade originally opened so this is a cool, new way to experience the parks for me.

Wow :died:

That plastic chain is surprising. I was expecting something a little more substantial as a barrier. That leads me to believe that technical rehearsals are maybe a little closer than we think, maybe later this week pending the dragon being completed on time?

The chain is metal and this is their land control setup.

Thanks for that. It's still a little odd to me, I would have expected a gate or something akin to the rest of the surrounding fence knowing full well how often they'll need to open/close that area.

I'm loving that view of inside Kings Cross, If I was looking at the image out of context I'd say it was certainly a real London station. It looks like there's some ticket barriers in the distance as well, presumably a way of dealing with the park-to-park ticket requirement.

If they won't need land control those poles and the chain is all stored in an out of the way location. A gate would just be sitting there (and subject to people trying to mes with it)

those gates are easily moveable, which is exactly why they are being used. They need to be able to close off the area quickly.

Awful lot of Hogwarts express team members working today. Just sayin'

Awful lot of them working every day. Two stations = a lot of TMs

 

[rhino4evr]

kinda weird that they would have everyone there. would they soft open just the HE?

They don't nearly have everyone there, and no they would not. Also don't forget that the turnstile team wears the same thing as HE team.

There haven't been TM previews yet, just sayin'
(as in those ALWAYS happen before anything else)

On top of that, this many TM were working everyday with the walls up. even if they are just standing around.

The dragon guys, just remember the dragon, they are not going to do any soft openings of Diagon with scafolding around the dragon. But I do wonder weather or not they might soft Hogwarts Express before anything else?

Looks like those fountain benches could use a little aging?
