Color me disappointed. I’ve been a huuge Harry Potter fan for years… and was actually looking forward to this attraction… and I’ve already been on one of its roller coasters? “Rethemed” ~10 year old roller coaster = lame.

I hope this is just the beginning of the attraction, because there’s so much they could have done and didn’t. I can’t see how they could have skipped making the flying car ride in the second book into some kind of coaster… that was an obvious one.

@ Hazmat

Oh no way! They’re replacing the ENTIRE marvel theme park with the Hogsmeade section of the Harry Potter.

I don’t think so because Dueling Dragons was on the total opposite side of the park.
I read somewhere that Universal is allowed to keep all the rides they already have because they had already bought the rights to those. I don’t, however, believe they will be able to make any additions to it– at least not without paying an assload to their biggest competitors (florida theme park wise). Spiderman and the Hulk are the like BEST rides there so I’d have been be uber pissed if they had had to get rid of those.

This Harry Potter stuff looks AMAZING. Ah, I love living in Florida sometimes :)

It sounds interesting, but I question whether a HP park has staying power. HP is extremely popular now, with the books just recently released and the movies still in production, but will this park still be popular (financially viable) 10 years from now?

I got back from Florida a few weeks ago and construction is well underway on this. It’s looking great and the general level of excitement for this is exceptionally high.

Whoever was ranting earlier as well, if you bothered to read anything said beneath the photos… it’s up at the top corner of the park and the only thing being replaced is Duelling Dragons. If Spiderman was based on the third movie, it’d need Harry Potter to clean up the stench surrounding it.

(Spiderman is my favourite ride in Florida! followed by Sheikra in Busch Gardens)

It’ll be weird if their not.

No, they better fucking not!

You cant replace the Spiderman ride for goddamn “Dragon Challenge”

Like- does Disney own that part of the park now?

I hope this park will be set up miles away from the Hulk roller coaster

I dont want these bullshit rides anywhere near my MARVEL theme park. I dont want to associate myself with anything Harry Potter related (im the biggest fan of the books btw, but the movies are nothing short of pure pussyness)

I was at Universal exactly one year ago and construction for this was already underway. This is going to be huge!

I dont think they were tearing anything down, including the marvel area. But maybe they did since then.

Do they need genuine Brits to work there. I’ll work there. I’ll even dress up as an old woman if they want me to.

Haha, I’ve finally gotten around to reading the books and butterbeer definitely popped up all over the place in the books. It had me curious the other day and looked it up online and there are quite a few recipes for it. To bad I’m to lazy to try to recreate any of them, and now I might not have too. Will probably be an expensive trip just to taste it, though. :D

I was reading about this last night on Yahoo! It certainly looks interesting. If I ever get the chance I’d definitely go.

Apparentally they’re going to serve “actual” butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks…and I’ve always wondered what that tasted like…

Also, just wanted to say “nice! *eye roll*” at your comment about MAYBE taking your kids. Nerd.

I started laughing when I saw your reply to this. I totally imagined the vein in your forehead as you asked this question. It’s more loaded than a shotgun wedding.
