Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

[Skipper Justin]

Even when it is ready do we think JKR would let us use London for HHN?

I'm not sure what her stipulation would be.... She may "pull a Seuss" on us.

London possibly yes, Diagon alley most likely no.

 

[Captain Tragedy]

Thought you all might like to know that one of the "trains" (or section of one) has arrived.

And it looks incredible. Even if it's just a blurry cell phone pic, the train section looks wow.

Agreed. They look very impressive. I'm anxious to see how this will be hidden from sightlines in San Fran/NY.

Diagon won't be used, but I think one of the reasons the land is behind the London Facades is so the event doesn't have to worry about it

can anybody help the newbie figure out what disney blog your talking about? :bang:

You should see the interior, or so I'm told :look:

 

[Teebin]

I would like to hear a description of the windows from either side, even if one has to sign up under another account. Are windows clear to the inside or are they blacked out in an odd way?

Well, since the train actually looks like the train, they could get away with theming the visible portions of the track from USF as train trestles if they even bother at all.

 

[Teebin]

Aaaaah! Thanks to Lord Voldemort, I have been able to witness a close up! Huge 3'-4' jut-out on the backstage side of the train for whatever video effect they are pulling. So, the station side will probably look normal while the opposite side, not so much.

I wouldn't think JKR or WB would be alright with it being visible. It breaks the "thematic wall", so to speak. Also, it would lessen the impact upon seeing it at the loading platforms.

Ok noe can someone tell me what is that site like... now?

I would think they would care about the FJ showbuilding and the soon-to-be even more obvious Gringotts showbuilding also, but it seems that they have inconsistent priorities/rules. I guess we'll see. I hope these things would be taken into consideration. It's just that little bit extra that makes a huge difference.

Type "Walt Disney World" plus the word "Magic" into google and you will find it.

I have a feeling that they won't even bother. I wish that they would, but I doubt they will.

 

[Teebin]

Ahh... new question. Will the trains have restraints/seatbelts? The reason I ask is because in theory one could stand up and get really close to the "boxed" windows and peek at the junk making it happen.

Thanks for the info :thumbs:
EDIT: I saw the other pictures! More, and higher quality. From the same 'magical' source.

I'm gonna guess seat belts, but not so much for that reason as for general safety and people's stupidity.

They will now. Thanks Teebs.

5+ bullets currently on the ammunition table, very high caliber. The gun is being cleaned and prepped for its multilayered outer shell.
