Poseidon, you'll be sorely missed. And of course by "sorely" I mean not at all. Maybe a hair above Twister on my hate list.

Before anyone spews out any more rubbish about a certain train being a capacity nightmare I'd like to see some statistics on just how many guests actually buy 2-park tickets.

I fixed it for you.

Honestly, I think I like Twister better than Poseidon. The water vortex is the only thing I'll miss.

We're assuming a 2-park ticket is needed. I'm leaning towards it won't be.

If the Potter expansion goes into USF, then you can bet that whatever the number is now, it will certainly jump up a great deal.

I'm thinking that with the amount of renovation that will be occurring at the parks in the next 10 years that Universal may just merge both parks due to each not having enough attractions to warrant a separate admission.

Concerning admission media. 1 Day/1 Park pass will disappear.

Concerning train capacity: imagine if you will the track being a loop. Now think of it like a clock face. Stations at 3 and 9 o'clock. Kong 360-like tunnels at 12 and 6. Total of 4 trains. 2 unloading/ loading at the stations while there is a train in each 360 tunnel.

Disneyhead, might you consider changing your name to, "The Sphinx"? Geeez.

So, Universal will sell flowers for people to place on James and Lily's grave? When it comes to $$$ have they no shame?

They didn't even have the memorial in the movie. SMH.

I suppose the graveyard would be cool? :shrug:

It'd still be wasted space, IMO. Especially if PF was taken out for something like that.

from a theme park fan perspective I agree. But from a Potterhead's perspective I believe that Godric's Hollow is so steeped in Potter lore that they would have tears in their eyes. Yes, of course there would be Lily and James' graves and the burned out Potter's house. And the memorial. But they could also have Ignotus Peverell's grave with the Deathly Hallows symbol. And the Gryffindore home. The modest Dumbledore home. The Riddle mansion. Bathilda Bagshot's....um... that's about all I can think of.

Unfortunately this IS a theme park.

If they did something like this, it'd be a serious mistake. A serious, serious mistake. Sure hope this hasn't even been brought up in a Universal creative meeting.

And if it has...wow. I mean, we could have another ride, but instead we'll get a few facades to look at? Lame.

A serious mistake? I am more with Disneyhead on this one. There is far more to a major theme park than its rides. You think the Hogwarts Express Train facade or the entrance arch to WDW is a letdown for people? Lame? Really? There will be major rides so don't get so riled by a wee bit of extra theming and presentation.
