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

It obviously means it is a Forbidden Forest dark ride which projects a night time light show onto the castle facade and also has a Aragog meet and greet.

Aragog meet and greet.

*shivers* Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.....I'm fine with snakes, bugs, etc....No spiders thanks

 

[GAcoaster]

The plush spiders the sell give me the creeps, I can't imagine a moving giant spider "meet & greet" in the style of the Raptor Encounter... :/

If they were to do an aragog m&g, they need to have him there in a dark room, and as you are there getting your pictures, have a bunch of smaller spiders drop from the ceiling. Standing outside watching people run out screaming could be a whole new entertainment option.

maybe the introduction of the Cursed Child show to Broadway?

The Cursed Child was announced back in December to be opening on Broadway in Spring 2018. So I doubt it'd be anything relating to that

Maybe actually great plays will get a boost.

At first thats what I thought too (I even said it further up that I doubt it's a ride announcement), but "follow the spiders".. I mean come on, that HAS to be a dark forest ride. I'm now fully expecting a dark ride replacement for DC now.

Pump those breaks buckaroo. I have heard nothing pertaining to a new Potter ride being announced soon.

It's obviously the dragon challenge replaced by a wild mouse announcement...

What if Newt gave Hagrid the egg for Aragon?

Probably a teaser for the next movie then? This is a widely acknowledged theory.

After examine the instagram account for the teaser more closely, the bottom contains a piece of ripped paper which makes me believe it will be something more book/script related.. maybe the introduction of the Cursed Child show to Broadway? That's a big leap though.

That's...pretty intense.

Definitely just an addition the WB studio tour. Apparently there's an area under construction right now. It will probably include fantastic beasts. The clues from HP fan sites say it will be announced on the 27th at HP celebration.

UOR announcement is probably the castle projection. I wish it was also for the addition of the great hall, but I don't remember seeing anything about markers in JP.

Why announce it at UOR if it has nothing to do with UOR? Makes no sense to announce something exclusively for London then. Something movie related makes sense based off the deal Universal made with WB with exclusive content for future films.

I thought about that too and did some digging. There is some precedent. You have to remember that this is a Celebration of HP - not just HP at Universal. Check out the last bullet point.

I would probably cry. I still grimace in every ride photo from Forbidden Journey because the camera is in the spider scene.

Possible announcement of nighttime show, yes.

Possible announcement of DC replacement, after Volcano Bay.

If anything, expect DC replacement into next year'a celebration.

We are too early in the movie timeline for that I think. The first movie was 1926 or so. Hagrid didn't get the egg until around 1940. While I think we will get to that point in the timeline sometime in the next 4 movies, a 10+ year jump seems to be a bit much for this early in the series.

I thought the photo was the dragon breath and the soul suck image was in the spiders.

Announce it now and hype it twice...seems logical!
