Harry Potter Theme Park

[Mickey1122]

Check Mugglenet.com. As much as I hate the site, they do report the news every once in a while. The description leads me to believe that it will be an extension of Islands of Adventure, not a stand-alone park, which is intelligent.
HP is great, but a WHOLE park shouldn't ne devoted to it. If you have been to Universal or Disney, you know that different types of theming, along with differenct sources of subject material, make parks good.

HP isnteven great enough to have a part of a theme part devoted to it.

It's just going to be a land at Islands of Adventure, it will use part of the Lost Continent land and some of the employee parking lot. The land will be around 20 acres which is a bit larger than most of the lands at Islands of Adventure. Some rides that are there now such as Dueling Dragons and that unicorn one or whatever will be rethemed to Harry Potter. Frankly I don't see it being that great.

Dueling Dragons is fun, but they have problems with the seat straps. Not for me any time soon. A whole park would be stupid, but a land makes a LITTLE sense. A whoel park would be idiotic from a business angle. It would have a boom at the beginning but then fail in later years.

strange... i was just about to post about this since i hadn't seen it on here then i get on the DIS again and it's on here

it sounds interesting i agree about it only being a land. I've heard it's going to be set in the town of Hogsmeade.

I hope they dont change Duelling Dragons to harry potter theme. I liked harry potter to begin with, but now? I dont think its worth its own bit! Especially not Duelling Dragons, they should leave that. If theyre gonna do its own land in Islands of Adventure, Id say build a little roller coaster and a few little rides!

You would have to pay me A LOT to go to a park like that.

That's plain stupid. It's a book, the fad will die away after the books and movies come out. Will it be culturally relevant ten years from now? I doubt it.

Ok I honestly think that devoting a whole park to Harry Potter would be a pretty great idea. . .then again I'm an HP geek. There's supposed to be different landmarks from all 7 books along with meet and greets and rides. There is NO WAY people wouldn't go if they were and avid HP fan. duh!:wizard:

There's no real way of showing that. For example look at Star Wars, it's been going strong for just over 30 years. Things tend to stick around, and time will tell for the Harry Potter fate.

That's true enough, but still...

lol, I know. I'm just glad Disney didn't get the rights.

Guessing you're not an HP fan.

Not so much anymore...I used to read until Order of the Phoenix came out, kinda lost me there.

 

[Hollywoodhaha]
