Anyone notice the painted words say Flourish and Blotts
Is it just a facade? Or a store? :shrug:

Sooooo now that we have all the scenes to the Gringotts attraction queue, can we start speculating on story line? So; things we know about the attraction:
There is a dragon
Belatrix, Bill Weasley, Hermione, Ron(?) and who else are invloved... did HateToFly ellude to Voldemort?
Bill Weasley is a curse breaker in the books...
There will be a live actor in the security office with projection effects... hmmmm....
Falling things in Bill's office....
The attraction needs to explain the reasoning for allowing muggles into the wizarding bank
Goblins shake the ride vehicle
At some point (I'm going to assume Hermione) blasts away the wall (3D screen on kuka arms) presumably to get out out of a sticky situation


There are still so many options as far as stories go, but if I come up with a good one I'll post it

I've never understood the need to address that the audience as muggles being someplace they shouldn't be or whatever. Why not say its a bunch of new students for forbidden journey of foreign wizards looking for a new bank, etc... or Why even bother pointing it out at all? We all know why we're there.

HTF did mention a little while ago that there was a shop that a lot of people weren't expecting or weren't talking a lot about. They would have definitely put F&B in there anyway, just a facade or not, but maybe we'll be lucky enough to have it be an actual store?

It's a shop and the entire rest of that building (#65) is for Ollivanders.

I know it would be every Potterhead's dream if Flourish and Blotts sold actual replicas of Harry's textbooks and such. But I doubt they will. I'd settle for blank journals with replica covers, especially the potion book, and Lockhart books.

I'm gonna guess tour of the bank gone wrong. Like, they might treat us as new customers / new members of Gringotts and take us on the tour of the facilities, when suddenly there's a break in, and a dragon gets loose and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!! ...and then we are saved and barely escape certain death in the depths of the bank's underground cavers!!
:happy:

And then we exit through the gift shop to spend obscene amounts of money :lol:

That's what I am thinking. On the DA side visitors could be treated as "magical" and suppose to be there. Since guests are "Muggles" in the existing area, that covers the full experience :thumbs:

I know all you that play Harry Potter at home are on the magical side, no one pretends to be a regular person that does not know anything about the interesting stuff right :pound:

HTF would know better than me, but I speculate that they're trying to have it all down by the Potter celebration/announcement.

I think they might still treat us like Muggles, to be consistent. (Hermione's parents were Muggles and they were still able to go into Diagon Alley). I originally didn't like how we were treated as Muggles at the WWoHP, and thought that it would be more of a magical experience to avoid the label... but whatever... :shrug:

Is it true that the "big drop" will be at the beginning of the ride?

The scaffolding of London should all be down within 6 Weeks but there are several aspects that have to be closely looked at by multiple parties. So while its possible we see all the scaffolding come down by Feb, we could very well see all of it go back up for revisions that are demanding by Gilmore, Warner Brothers, Stuart Craig, and JK.
