Looks like Harry P. won't be open in spring?

Viewing the latest pictures of the construction of Harry Potter... is anyone else thinking that there is NO WAY it will be open this spring!? I was hoping they would get it ready for "spring breakers", or at LEAST by late spring... but I am really thinking it will be summertime. I really wanted to plan my trip B4 the humidity comes!

I don't know about that. The progress that they have made in the last two weeks is pretty incredible.

I agree. I don't think that the project managers would want another delay similar to what happened with Hollywood Rockit.

As long as it's ready by July. There'll be a lot of angry potter fans if it's not.

The signs say May 2010. I see progress every time I go and I'm sure it'll be done in time to open in May.

All their press releases say May. We go every couple of weeks and I've seen progress. Also they seem to always be working on it. I'm thinking positive that they'll have it open next May!

I thought the sign said May but it doesn't.

I haven't seen anything that says May. I have seen press releases that say Spring 2010.


I have heard that they recently added 10 Million to the budget to try to get it open early.

Potter Harry is A big area.So the question should be,will it all be open or just certain parts?

haven't been to Universal since the year it opened

Hey y'all! I haven't been to Universal since the year it opened...and am soooooo excited to go to see the HP park. We usually go to WDW about 3 times per year...so, this will be a NEW experience for us.

Should I wait to book a package closer to the time that I will be going? NO WAY WILL I GO IN THE SUMMER, though!
