It holds up well in 3D and is usually far enough away (using the forever perspective of the medium) that it looks pretty convincing. I just like picking apart visual effects.

And I can understand former child stars trying to distance themselves from a property and tired of pretending to be kids for years after its over. Can't fault them for that.

At least they did Forbidden Journey and posed for the promotional art used in ads, billboards and even the shopping bags at the parks' gift shops before cutting the cord.

I dont know how to say it in english, but menos mal that they at least took some photos for a themepark made after them :lol:. It's honestly the least they could have done, but I totally understand where they're coming from. It just kinda hurts when you realize The main characters in Harry Potter don't like the brand themselves.

I agree. I would never ever go to Disney or Universal in Orlando during the summer or any of the peak holiday periods. I'm not a masochistic person. :lol:

Went last August. It worked for my need to micro manage everything. The crowds made my planning look helpful rather than control freak behavior :box:

They do like the brand, just trying to distance themselves professionally. It will always be a part of them, but want to keep going after new things.

Now that the trio are approaching 30, I don't believe there is much point in bringing them back.

Hermione sounds like she's 60 years old. As picky as JK is, I'm shocked that voice got used.

It's weird they couldn't just pull dialog from the films at least. Disney does it all the time.

And that's the big difference between Disney and Universal. Disney does 'book report' rides, basically recapping movies. Where Universal builds attractions that expand on the properties. I'd hate to see Universal stoop that low.

Since her voice is so different, is it possible Emma Watson didn't even allow for a similar (vocal likeness) voice?

I don't think she has a say.

I'm pretty sure that Watson turning Universal down and Harmione ending up sounding like an old hag is purely coincidental. ;)

Not to get off-topic but could that SFX coaster be the GotG coaster at UoE?

Considering today the top waits were 90 minutes for the most popular Disney rides (FoP, 7DMT) and around 10-25 for everything else... in July!.... wtf is going on there?

I really hope it is the SFX. But, if it isn't that; and is this, I will be albeit as happy as I'd be for that.

I wouldn't call Arthur a great property. But the ride system used is revolutionary in many way's.

I've heard Universal linked with the powered coaster before but thought it was for Nintendo. I could totally see it for this replacement.

I'd like a ride system that makes more sense in the story, the benches work and the Gringotts cart make sense, dragon challenge does not.
