I think time traveling decades within the land is still quite a peculiar choice.

Time is Magical......easy explanation

Isn't there a time turner on the portal itself?

It’s the main ride’s macguffin.

For some reason, I dreamed about this ride last night, except it was more like Dante's Inferno with Harry Potter characters (thus the elevator) and the projection faces were terrible. My subconscious can conceive of grand grand cavernous four story show scenes set in marble buildings but not accurate projection, which is maybe my brain's personal statement on the triumph of architectural and theatrical design over the fallibility and broken promises of digital technology, idk.

I don't believe you, I think you're MacGoofing.

@Alicia Do you know if the second major attraction of this land is in development?

Because that’s a huge gap to fill in the lineup and I’m sure they want to bolster capacity as much as possible.

Ask again later.

I'll just pretend it's 90s Paris and you can't tell me otherwise.

Then Newt’s looking good for his age in the show.

It’s a descendant! (Hey, if it’s good enough for Victoria…)

Wonder if the circus show will be interactive in any way ?

It sounds like it will have some really impressive mind blowing effects, but I don't seem to remember rumors claiming it would be interactive.

I know this is ultra-nitpicky, but I do wish the view down that street as you enter did not end with a building in basically the same position as Gringotts, with two streets then branching off to either side.

I'm sure the aesthetics and architecture of the land are going to be terrific, but I do fear they've pulled from the Diagon Alley playbook perhaps a little too directly.

 

[Ahmanet]

Wow, looks lot more glammed up than I thought it would

Even the FB purists (if they exist) will love this land

 

[ReelJustice]

The quidditch World Cup occurring in Paris in the canon of the land sure makes for a good attraction idea for expansion.

I see bread on the right, will this be the day...

While I do think the area could be a little bit more spread out than what is pictured in the concept art, I vaguely remember that in FB2 Paris was kinda compacted in the same way.

The now dead VR broomstick concept comes to mind with this suggestion. However if they could somehow turn the idea of a quidditch WC into a dark ride that would be really cool. Maybe that could be something like what the original Avengers E ticket quinjet was going to be.
