Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

[andrew]

Anything aired on NBC is going to get poor ratings unless it is professional football. Also, summer ratings are abysmal. I wouldn't look into these ratings at all.

They finished Number 1 in the 18-49 demo last season

Ooops... has Harry lost his luster?

I mean, if those 3 million people show up to USF this year, it'd pass DAK and DHS on the TEA numbers.

I think the more likely explination is it's an NBC News Special on a Monday during the summer. It was never going to win the night.

I forgot to watch and I am a huge Harry Potter and Universal fan...I wouldn't worry about numbers from one HP TV special

It wasn't even well advertised or anything either.

Hogwarts Express has soft opened at both sides to those with park-to-park tickets. No word on Gringotts or Diagon Alley being soft opened later.

Yes, because NBC airs Sunday Night Football.

I always thought HE would open first. I am surprised they waited this long. Seems WB is a real pain with this stuff.

Just rode from London. In line for return trip! They say no Diagon access on the other side.

About how long did you wait?

Posted 40 min. Probably 30. Line moved well. Everyone was nice and tolerant of gaps for pictures.

You're welcome, I opened that line up for you all on the London side. What a great feeling.

Have heard that lots of pain has been taken to get WB to allow HE without Gringotts. This is a recent update since last week.

Enjoy guys, totally jealous from here in Cleveland. :wave:

That must have been very gratifying! I'd love to open a brand new attraction.

So, who from WB's is on site to demand such things. It ain't AG. Must be WW producer execs?

 

[Voidfish]

A friend (I forgot his username on here) is on-site for the soft opening and posted a photo with Woodbury. So there's that.

I did a round trip on the Hogwarts Express tonight. I agree, it's not a ride. It is a themed experience. From the second you enter King's Cross station you are transported to the world of Harry Potter. They nailed this attraction.

 

[Milla4Prez66]

Damn, I'm gonna have to try and get there tomorrow morning before work to try HE. I'll be PISSED if it isn't open tomorrow lol.

 

[darkridelover]

I've heard tomorrow might be a very good day for [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG].

I got in line around 9:40 and it was a posted 15 on the London side and I ended up reaching Hogsmeade at 10:02 so it wasn't too long of a wait.
