Unrelated to the expansion question... Does anyone know what the maximum weight to get the green light on fj is? I literally mean the green light, not just being able to ride, thanks

There isn't a maximum weight. It's related to body dimensions. A tall 300+lbs might not have a problem, but a shorter 200lb could.

Right I know that. I was just trying to figure out a general idea of what would weight would get a green light/yellow light/red

They should take down that string of colored lights also. They look cheap & tacky and detract from the new HP entrance.

For some strange reason the lights don't bother me as much as the sign...maybe because the lights ad a bit of an interesting element to the sky where there would be nothing without them..at night they are really neat looking too

I'm make models of theme park attractions and dark rides for fun and I'm planning a model of the Forbidden Journey. I got the layout of the ride, but now I need the queue layout. Do any of you guys have a copy that you can share?

Do any of you have the pictures of both the upper and lower queues that I "artfully" reproduced and posted a couple of years ago? Mine are packed away on a backup drive or CD...

Team members testing interactive wand elements in Hogsmeade today.

Edit: It seems there are only 5 of the 13 Ollivanders wands remaining in stock.

Coincidently, only five of the original designs have not been made into interactive versions

Are you sure? Took photos of all the new interactive zodiac wands at the new Olivanders and I'm pretty sure there are at least 12. (My pic of the 13th didn't come out)

I meant that of the thirteen non-interactive zodiac designs, only five of those designs were changed when they were made into interactive wands. I assume that the five left in stock are the designs that aren't available as interactive wands. Sorry if I was unclear

EDIT: I may have misread Quint's post, my mistake

Good vid...I was wondering how separated it would feel from the Sinbad theater, rest of Lost Continent...looks pretty well separated.

It's now a little weird having that fake Hogwarts Express photo op in Hogsmeade when you can clearly see the front of the train is not going through a tunnel in Hogsmeade Station.

Yeah, I agree. The station was completely redesigned. Apparently the plans that I had seen were just an early attempt, and due to the garden bridge style plantings involved, 40' in the air, it didn't pass budget (my assumption).

Yes it is quite weird...but I can live with it as I would hate to see the photo op leave just for consistency...plus the steam blowing when you enter Hogsmede is iconic

Ride FJ this morning and the screens were lit up brilliantly, as Seth said. I'm worried it may be to a fault, though, as I noticed several dark objects appeared washed out as a result. But overall, it's a big improvement. I also noticed another lighting upgrade in the Chamber of Secrets around the basilisk skeleton. I could see the area around there pretty clearly. Didn't notice any light leaking from carousel 3, and the ride profile seemed unchanged, though still excellent. Ride was in fantastic shape from what I saw.

Edit-Last time I rode was in early January.
