I think that's way too soon.

I think they will get the two existing rides back up and running pronto.

Fortunately, I changed my trip so that I wouldn't miss WWHP. If the photos are any indication, it should be a site to behold.

No dates have been announced. The only "date" is the vacation packages starting May 28.

A Reasonable Guess would be this timeline:
-Grand Opening around Memorial Day Weekend (official media day around that time)
-Technical Rehearsal starting Easter
-Employee Testing before that

Of course, everything I said could be wrong, but one can hope!

So the Harry Potter Exhibition closed today where I work, the Boston Museum of Science. It's been really fun working here and I'm jealous for all the folks hired to work in the WWoHP. I can say from our record crowds (over 20,000 a day this past week) that I can't imagine the crowds coming into IoA once WWoHP opens. That part I'm not so jealous of. But it's been so much fun talking to HP fans, and especially the ones coming in costume. I had to answer today why the dementors were missing, they were taken back to England for filming of the Deathly Hallows, and they we so sad they couldn't see them. It's just making me more excited to see them and all the effects in the FJ ride.

Anyway, for all you HP fans on the DIS living in Ontario, the exhibition is coming to you next in Toronto! Say hi to Buckbeak for me!

Can't wait for it to get here! I may have to go multiple times over the summer!

This may be a dumb question, but will we be allowed to dress in HP costumes in the park? I think at WDW they don't allow adults to dress as the characters.

I think we will see lots of costumes. As long as you don't wear a mask, it will probably be allowed.

I have been hearing late March as well on message boards. You can't put any faith in those predictions though.

 

[dizcrazee]

Thank you, damo. DD wants to dress like Bellatrix Lestrange and her friend wants to be Hermione. I think it'll be cute.

What are the chances that WWOHP will be fully operational and open to the public by May 21st?

Sorry if this has been asked before but has it been confirmed if forbidden journey will have an express line? I have looked online at the prices and it would be worth it to us to buy those before we go. I dont mind only getting one ride with express pass just saves a 15 hour que!

Actually, the snow looks great in person.

 

[Moon Child]

It looks awesome!! Cannot wait to see it in person

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

It looks pretty good in the pictures as well. Just thought there seems to be more and more everytime I see a picture.
Isn't it going reflect and make the pavement area like a giant (pardon the expression) caldron?

Seem like a bit of a gamble if wrong for Universal?

I bet though it will do greatat taking Christmas Time crowds in.
