The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[Nick]

It’s probably an EU reference, but it doesn’t have to be. There were two rumors for Diagon additions (Knight Bus and Ministry).

I'd honestly much prefer a Diagon addition. Fear Factor is sitting right there wasting space. Rip that thing out and expand on what you already have.

It could also be a reference to their other parks around the world now that I think about it

Florida is the only one with certain additions

It could also mean new shows or events at existing lands.

If they were going to add shows, isn’t the only room in FFL/MIB area? Unless they expand to LC in IOA, then I don’t see how it could fit.

I wonder if it’s possible, based on the rumored building layout, for them to bring thr British ministry ride, and show thah was rumored, and save the other attraction for EU or another park?

Each land already has stages for shows. There are other Beedle the Bard stories they can make into shows, other Holidays for Celestina songs, etc.

Not to mention more possibilities for Nighttime Lights variations

I was more thinking a sit down show like I beleive was rumored for EU but I may be wrong.

That seems like pretty small-scale stuff for that to be the subject of the "We're not done" quote.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I think it almost 100% pertains to EU if they’re making such a big deal about not being done with Potter. None of this is surprising though, and whether it’s EU or not I fully expect Potter to continue to be opening new attractions around the world.

One thing seems clear though, Orlando always gets first dibs mostly. I wonder if that’s part of the deal or just the strategic planning on behalf of UOR, but it’s noteworthy. I understand not all Universal parks have the space Orlando does, either.

Isn't there room built in at Universal Beijing for a Hagrids expansion?

There’s a gigantic plot of land to the right of Hogsmeade so idk if it’s rumored but theoretically I don’t see why it couldn’t be.

Everytime I look at Hogwarts at Islands, I can't help but wonder why they didn't build ALL of Hogwarts. There's quite a few more towers and buildings they didn't include.
Was there ever a reason behind that?

Do they really need more? They need to theme the show building but the rest? I don't think they were building a movie set just something that looked like the movie.
Like the HE where they didn't build the viaduct but made a serviceable replica.

...Well...at the time...they weren't exactly doing so hot

Rockwork all around would've been nice, but we all remember when they tried to spary paint a rock mural on the side of the showbuilding haha

Oh no..... I wasn’t around for this.

It's a throw away quote from an article that's running like 6 months late. I'm not reading too much into it.

Turns out it was just hype for finally offering pressed pennies.

 

[belloq87]

I'm surprised it took that long to work around Rowling's (apparent) demand that there not be any pressed pennies.

They should use all the coins collected to cover the Hogwarts showbuilding

Anyone in Hogsmeade this morning?
