The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

[Planogirl]

So will the new ride be like Spiderman with more motion? I somehow overlooked the "box over the head" part of the blog. Where was that?

I love the queues already!

Dave,
Thanks for the fabulous blog! 3 more months and I get to see it for myself! WooHoo!

If it's going to be REALLY busy - will they have toilets in the line!!!! Or us ladies of that certain age - with "morning bladder" won't be riding til gone lunchtime!!

I am a little freaked and kinda aggravated! I was really dying to do the wand experience and now that looks near impossible. Why, if people are willing to wait 7 hours in line for a ride, can't they have a line for people wanting to do that for the wands. Its really disappointing!

I can't seem to find what this post is referring too. Are they not doing the wand experience anymore?

Yes they are. The way it sounds like it will work is that a group of 25 people or so will go into Olivanders and only a few people will get to have the experience of the wand choosing them and the rest will watch.

Tomorrow is May 28th, and to be honest, I can't believe they haven't let people in for a soft opening or some kind of public viewing. I know there was the travel agent pow wow, but I would have thought a public opening would have happened by now.

I hope this weekends Harry Potter package guests don't get too disappointed if everything is not working properly. If I bought a Harry Potter package and some of the main line attractions were not working right I'd be disappointed; especially knowing Universal did not open up the area to the public prior to my visit.

There is a BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC Rumour spreading in IOA right now...

Like Matpez wrote on OU Forum, someone writes directly from the (still closed) entrance of WWOHP...

This must be for employees only...the park closes at 7pm tonight, 8pm tomorrow night and 9pm this weekend.

 

[floridianer]

OH, yes... Right!!

It is for TM only this night and then, from 7am tomorrow for everyone...



Let´s hope this is TRUE!!!

 

[Metro West]

OH, yes... Right!!

7 am seems too early to me. The park opens at 9am for everyone and 8am for those who have these hotel packages.

Sounds like TM previews of the FJ are all day today.

DM, can you confirm or deny?

I have not heard anything in either direction, unfortunately.

Wow!!! I didn't expect such a quick reply. Please keep us posted and have fun if it is true!

 

[Claire-Bear]

A couple of people over at OU have quoted a couple of TMs that FJ is open for TM previews this afternoon. Fingers crossed!!

 

[the Dark Marauder]

Wow!!! I didn't expect such a quick reply. Please keep us posted and have fun if it is true!

I just got confirmation; it is happening. But I won't be able to go due to the timing of it.

Yay for the previews but boo for you not going. How can we live vicariously through you when you can't go? Hope you get a chance to ride soon.

 

[FINFAN]

Oh Boy!!!!!! Oh Boy!!!!! Oh Boy!!!!!!!Oh Boy!!!!!! OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HufflepuffMudblood]

That rocks! I was wondering if we'd be able to go.
I have 355.06 (yes, I've been counting pennies) saved up so I should be able to buy at least a robe and a wand

I can't wait!

P.S., if we're allowed, I'll take lots of video and pictures and tell you guys all about it!!!


P.P.S. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!



P.P.P.S.(?) I hope it's not too

Ya know, as much as all the info is coming around, and I am getting excited about GO...I probably wont actually ride FJ till sometime in the fall...crowds in the summer are gonna be a BEAST, and plus, its too hot...I prefer to hibernate in the AC..I will have to live through everyone else..LOL..

I do plan on going to GO though on the 18...just to see whats happening, and maybe get some walk on rides on Hulk and Spidey...I am sure they will have no one..LOL
