From this week's Parade magazine

Article from this week's Parade magazine. Is it me, or do they make WWOHP sound like its own park?
http://www.parade.com/celebrity/2010/05/bringing-the-world-of-harry-potter-to-life.html

They begin by calling it a "20-acre attraction" but go on to say things like:

"Americans love their theme parks, and The Wizarding World—erected only 13 miles from where Walt Disney World opened 39 years ago—is the latest, greatest iteration"

and

"Two of the park’s three rides are clearly visible: the Dragon Challenge, a high-speed pair of intertwining roller coasters; and Flight of the Hippogriff, a family coaster."

Now I understand that Parade isn't known for their excellence in journalism, but I'm thinking that their word choice could use some tweaking, to say the least.

It is really frustrating when you see journalism like that. I have seen a few other publications and websites with the same misinformation.
