I need to know what the HP expansion will include. Aside from HP, I had a blast in the Dr.Suess part. I'm a huge fan and the candy shop had the best cookies ever!

I hate people like this. *****ebags like this are why they make up more and more new security measures for park employees to follow.
Should get on skype and I can hint to stuff.

Got this from Screamscape, however just a rumor - albeit interesting!
"(7/18/12) With all the focus on Universal Studios Florida, fans of Islands of Adventure maybe wondering when IOA will get another new attraction. Sure, IOA will be linked with USF via the Hogwarts Express, but what then? Other than the Wizarding World the rest of IOA has mostly remained unchanged sin
ce it opened in 1999.
There have been a few major attractions rumored over the years since then which failed to get off the ground at the time, but one of these may be coming back for a second chance. According to the latest buzz, IOAs next big attraction will be due to premier the year following Potters Phase 2 roll out, which would put it around 2016 or so. If things hold true between now and then, we can expect to possibly see that long rumored Grinch / Mt. Crumpet themed coaster ride added to Seuss Landing in an interesting location. Ive been told that the Grinch coaster proposal may see it added as a replacement to Poseidons Fury, possibly even reusing the attraction structure after some cosmetic changes of course.
Technically Posiedons Fury is in what remains of the Lost Continent section of the park, so this would allow for Seuss Landing to expand beyond the borders of its own Island to take it over. This would also leave Mythos and the Sinbad stunt show as the only remaining pieces of the Lost Continent, expected to stay as they are for years to come. This isnt the first time Universal Creative have pitched putting a coaster inside Poseidons Fury, as it was the original location pitched for the Gringotts bank coaster before it all moved over to USF.
As for the ride itself look for this to be a good fun for all coaster experience without any inversions. Beyond that, the only other interesting rumor Ive heard is that Universal has been keeping a careful eye on Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg which features an exciting free-fall trick track section that could be put to use on Grinch. That said, Id expect that they have also been talking with Veboltens creator, Zierer, about this as well."

Death of Amityville pictures. Enjoy!

More tidbits concerning Hogwart's Express:
"Lets talk a bit more about that Hogwarts Express project today. According to Screamscape sources the transportation ride hardware may be provided by Doppelmayr, who recently created the Ocean Express themed funicular transportation system for Ocean Park in Hong Kong that travels through a 1.3 Kilometer long tunnel and through the use of a two train system, it can transport up to 5000 passengers an hour in each direction. Also of interest here is the fact that the inside of these trains were wired up with fake video screens pretending to be glass-ceiling panels for an undersea voyage. Sounds a little familiar?
While the Hogwarts Express wont be a Funicular going up a hill, or even through a tunnel, the company does also make a series of regular cable powered shuttles that transport riders on aerial tramways. You’ll find a few of these in Las Vegas or various airports around the world. Now, the insides of these cable cars will be an entirely different matter, and will appear more like the inside of what I believe is called a “sleeper car”. (Forgive me if I’ve used the wrong term… I’m not train person.) The interior will feature a narrow walkway down one side of the car, with individual doors leading into the separate rooms, each furnished with a pair of face-to-face seating bench seats, with a single large window (ie: video screen) to the outside world on the far wall end. This will be your window into the Wizarding World for the duration of your journey between London and Hogsmeade."

To keep with the themes of San Francisco, World Fair, New York, Hollywood, and Production Central - this new area will be titled London. Interesting.

SLR at Halloween Horror Nights? You're asking for trouble.. lol. Particularly the point in which you are frightened, you scream, and the camera falls to the concrete. :P
