Yea, it is strange to not see a parallel post on the UO blog today. I’m expecting their announcement Thursday, which is not only the day UO usually posts news, but is also the official opening of Infinity Falls and media event.

This doesn't make any sense considering the post is still up.

They even took it down for a little while to correct the text, and then put it back up.

I suspect that this is a new announcement strategy. Like SeaWorld "leaking" info then linking to the leaked info.

Heh, just like stuff unofficially gets leaked to bloggers all the time. Just a piece of the overall strategy. (Example : Drawing of Gringott's vehicles released by TPI, a week after Niles interviewed Thierry Coupe in Singapore. ) :)...STRATEGIC LEAKING

I want to see the concept art without the UOR logo. Looks like there could be something hiding under it.

Throughout this whole process, my eye keeps finding this structure. Does anyone have another angle of this building? Maybe from FOH?

If you peek through the large tree in the foreground of the concept image, you can kinda see a turret in the same style of the ruins.

I'm thinking it was planned to go out but they released it early.

Isn't that dormer on a side of the building the guests on the coaster won't see?

I eat my words, the concept art is real. They are really confident in the end result I guess

Theoretically, riders will see the dormer from the inside and it will be startlingly beautiful. :look:

I feel like even as simply an initial hype post, the art caption slightly under-sold the experience they surely want people to expect. Only terming it a ‘twisting roller coaster’ doesn’t quite do justice to what they’re building, and seems strangely at odds with the usual hyperbole used with FJ / Gringotts.

(I know, we blame them for over-hyping, then I complain they’re not hyping enough. Irony not lost.)

Maybe Universal gave Pottermore a 24 hour head start to get more clicks to their site?

It's just a teaser. We basically got 2 things. What the new castle looks like and Cornish Pixies.
