WOW amazing pics

 

[saintstickets]

In an interview conducted by The Magazine in Canada with actors Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), both stated that the pair will be visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park currently under construction at Universal Orlando, Florida. Word comes today from the Twitter account of actor Oliver Phelps (George Weasley) that he and his brother James (Fred Weasley will be attending next year as well.

No insight from any of them as to the opening date though.

I did post them yesterday night but the post dissapeared. I wasn't sure if it just got lost during the server thing or if it got deleted by an admin, so I didn't wanna re-post it and P-off someone if maybe I did indeed do something wrong. I sent the pics to BriMan a bit ago, but I guess I could just post them myself and then BriMan could delete this post and replace it with his if he wants.

PS: These are from Saturday evening

Wow, thanks for the zooms Mookie! Great pictures.

That appears to be a Fresnel Lens with some kind of reflector behind. Hmmmmm... beam of light from the tower echoing the IOA lighthouse or will this reflect the sun? Is there any such device like this mentioned in the books? The only thing that is even remotely like this in the movies is that big reflector telescope thingy in Dumbledore's office. hmmm....

I really wish they would set a date for the grand opening. This will be amazing!

 

[So_Money]

I'm really hoping it will be open in April.

I wish they would set a date. I want to book my trip!!!!

I agree. We are booked for June 12th through the 19th and I am trying to figure out what days at what parks etc. If the WWOHP is open then we will be spending one day at IOA if not then we will not be going at all.

 

[monkeybug]

Universal extended it's military deal until Mach 27th so my bet is that it will open on the 28th!!!

Wish we could see it!!!

 

[Poly-Anna]

We're booked for Memorial Day weekend, so I'm hoping it'll be open by then...

I don't think they are going to be announcing a date. With such a high tech ride, they need to be absolutely sure that everything is going to work. If they announce a date and things aren't quite ready, there will be hell to pay.

Of course they'll announce a date, but it will likely be *after* their soft opening, once they know everything is working.
