Well, I just wanted to know if you would have your own special wand chosen for you, like in harry potter. That’d be cool if they all had something different about them…. And I was wondering if you could stay In the hogwarts castle. Like, you could stay in the Slytherin Girls Dorm, for instance. I think that’d be really cool….

I’m really annoyed about this theme park since it is being placed in America, Harry Potter is a British book so should be held in Briton!!!

I’ve been excited for this since they first announced it. Although I thought it was kinda cheap that Universal just took two rides that were already in that part of the park and just rethemed them (Dragon Challenge was Dueling Dragons, Flight of the Hippogriff was the Flying Unicorn), but I like how with the hippogriff ride they added some unique touches-I would ride it just so that I could do all that in order to ride! (lol)

Another misunderstanding are the rides. Two of them ate already there part of The Lost Continent. The flying unicorn is a kiddie coster that will be rethemed as the hippogriff ride. The dueling dragons coaster will be the Hogwarts ride. It already has a castle built as the que. Some stuff will be new but some is already there being “repurposed.”

I watched the virtual tour video of the new Harry Potter section of Universal Studios a few weeks ago and I’m pretty sure it mentioned a roller-coaster themed after the dragon scene from goblets of fire; if so that would definitely bring some non-family crowds to that area of the park. I could be wrong about that though, anyone know who could confirm that?

I’ve been lucky enough to watch this all come to fruition from the front row. I live and work in Orlando and what some people are getting mixed up is that this is NOT a Harry Potter theme park. It’s a section of the Islands of Adventure park. Each section is a different themed “island” and now Potter will be one. So even folks who come to the park without kids can enjoy themselves as there are many other offerings outside of The Wizarding World.
As a HUGE fan of the books, movies, actors, etc I’m super excited to see everything we’ve read about for years finally in front of us- to drink a butterbeer? Heck yeah! And if a house elf were to serve it, all the better! I am close friends with many folks working tirelessly to keep this true to form and I’ll be there opening day to experience it all and show my support.

The reason I think it will be primarily visited by families with kids is that the theme park doesn’t seem to offer too many “big rides” or other major attractions that people in their twenties without kids might enjoy. That may not be true, of course, but it’s a hunch. I know some people who are bored by Disneyland because of all the small and simple ride-a-long type rides, whereas I absolutely love Disneyland.

Also, look at it from Universal’s perspective. While the later movies and books were certainly more mature and darker in tone, from a business point of view the park has to be designed for families to make maximum possible profits. A park with Dementors swooping around sucking out souls doesn’t make a parent want to open the wallet and buy a replica wand, you know what I mean?
