I know Rowling would never let Uni have any specific character M&Gs, but I could see him potentially being part of one of the HE ride sequences. He's certainly popular enough.If Hagrid is in the ad is that an indication that he will feature in the park?
Uni and SeaWorld have a pretty good business relationship going on right now. It seems a shame for one or the other to start going on the offensive; it would be mutually harmful.You all might have seen this, but SeaWorld executives recently laid the smackdown on Wizarding World Diagon Alley. Personally, I don't know whether to laugh or be annoyed by SeaWorld Analysts' douchebaggery.
"Executives at SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. apparently don't think Universal Orlando's second Harry Potter land will be as big a hit as the first one.
"We believe that [SeaWorld's] differentiated and niche product — marine wildlife — will help separate itself from just another theme park...We also believe that more tourists are willing to try SeaWorld's parks now, as two-thirds of all visitors are repeat visitors who may have already visited Disney and Universal the first time around."

Question in reguards to Hogwarts Express... Why do we have fully themed trains if we wont be seeing them coming into the station? Or at least I'm assuming we wont be considering the fact that they will both be backwards in one of the stations. Why not build a momorail type system that just slides into a Hogwarts Express shell and save money?
boy, info sure falls through the cracks here. You will see the whole train at KC but you will not see the engine in Hogsmeade. Of course, this plan may have changed, but I doubt it. Whether or not guests will see the train coming or going at either station has yet to be revealed... I think.
Pics are not my they are by OrlandoParksNews :thumbs:
SHOTS FIRED!!! No, but that's bold of SeaWorld executives to say. I'm not into the politics of the theme park world so idk if this is normal but personally I don't think it's their place to say that sort of thing. I get they're trying to downplay Diagon Alley and all, but it just comes off as a pathetic attempt to take down the competition.
Also, concerning the teaser, it sounds great! Glad there's teasers and all being released!
I wonder what those two smaller cranes are for?
I can't remember now and I've become more confused but wouldn't it make sense that we won't see the engine in KC? We should see the engine in Hogsmeade as the train pulls in. We might not see it in KC if the train doesn't pull all the way into the station. Unless it was that, once the train is fully inside the Hogsmeade station, then we won't see the engine from the loading platform? Ok, yeah, I'm confused HTF, how was it again? :shrug:
I would assume it is there to help dismantle the tower cranes.
It would be a shame if this was true. They are not competition to the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and they fit into Hogsmeade quite well. Zonko's is not even a full store, it's more of a continuation of Honeydukes than anything else, I can't see why they can't keep two joke shops open.Rumor Alert: Zonkos could be closing forever in just a few weeks…

Does anyone know if the new Wizarding World job postings are related to Diagon. Some of the roles I have never seen before, and if you read the description for the new roles they seem to relate to the expansion.
I wonder if it has more to do with its location and rebuilding of the portal into Hogsmeade once the games are demolished.
