[adam12thjojo]

Couple Of Months Ago Me & Adam (Boyfriend) Was Looking At The Rides Just To See What I Liked & Would Go On & We Happened To Go Onto A Website Of Universal Studio And It Said That Jaws Was Being Removed From The Park. Does Anybody Know What Is Replacing Jaws..? Is Harry Potter Being Extended To Make It Better As It's Succesful In Florida..?

Is It Rumoured To Be A New Ride Or Just More Harry Potter Scenery..?

Rumoured to be a Gringott's dark ride as well as Diagon Alley. Also rumoured is a Hogwart's Express that would join the two Harry Potter sections. Also rumoured is a walk through attraction themed to one of the magic shops such as Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Also perhaps The Leaky Cauldron and maybe Knockturn Alley.

As much as I loved the Harry Potter books and some of the movies, and I think the theming of Harry Potter in IOA is absolutely amazing, do I really think there needs to be more Harry Potter in the parks? Seriously, that isn't the only Universal movie out there. Yes I get that it grossed millions and millions of dollars, and that it is a huge success, but what happens when Harry Potter starts to fizzle down? To have the Hogwarts express connect the parks would be great, I agree with that. But, personally, I think that the Jaws area should be utilized for something else other than Harry Potter.

I don't think things themed around wizards and dragons and little people and magic will ever go out of style. Even if you know nothing about Harry Potter, this is just all about fantasy which will always be enjoyable to all ages. Having something themed to London is also pretty cool and shouldn't go out of style.

Lines this week for FJ have been up to 120 minutes and FJ has a HUGE capacity. People want Potter stuff.

I would agree that this is unlikely to go out of style but will become established much like pirates and princesses in that other place.

Besides, even if it did Universal is all about change. They would just build something else at some point.

I will miss Jaws though.
