Wizarding World of Harry Potter

As much as I want to run out and go to this immediately, I think I'm going to wait until early December in the hopes of the crowds being a little less insane during that time.
 
I agree.. But I'm still going on June 27th for a friend's birthday celebration. :P
 
Haha. Hopefully the weather will be less sweltering for you.. omg. We're gonna bake! And not bake in the good way. :.(
 
I wonder if Rowling gets a piece of this. She must. How much richer can she possibly become?

I'm waiting until Claire is old enough to go. But I so very much want to go now :(
 
Rowling is def' getting a small piece.. lol. And I'm excited either way. This park, Dueling Dragons, and the Rock-it coaster. Ugh!
 
Wow, ride looks intense...seems the Dementor's get really close, almost touching close. That's awesome. lol.
 
Found a pic of the ride vehicle and attached Kuka arm...apparently it was taken when someone got stuck on the ride due to technical difficulties. lol.

You can see one of the domes on the right hand side of that picture. Pretty cool stuff.
 

Yes, there are a few domes that you go into (albiet seamlessly) for the projected portions of the ride. The ride has both physical props and effects along with video portions much like Soarin' or Simpson's but on a smaller scale and is supposed to totally envelope you.
 
Yeah, the ride looks pretty awesome, interesting, and intense. From what I gather, they have Dementor's on those Kuka arms (same ones holding the seat/bench) so they look like they are flying around and get up close and personal. I think they have one for the whomping willow as well. But yeah, seems like a technologically intense ride. Hopefully they work out all the kinks by the time I get to ride it.
 
The fact that it combines ride technologies in a way that's never been used before.
 
I have a bunch of friends who have been inside the park already.. so jealous!
