The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[DisFreakBrent]

Well I figured there was a reason things were being pushed back but who would have thought it was something major. No wonder Ellen of any WB execs. could ride the thing a major prop was busted. Grrrr well time for me to sleep remember everyone to watch Ellen today & Friday it may we the only way we get in the area for a VERY long time.

 

[just some dude]

Just throwing this out there - It would be awfully foolish of them to design a complex attraction that can't function if one of the props is malfunctioning.

Everyone, please remember what day it is, and be careful what you take too seriously. It's April Fools Day.

I don't post as much, but felt I needed to tell you guys this since it comes from someone I know within the company. It seems as if the opening of Potter might be delayed til July/August if what he says is correct. Apparently one of the big props of the ride is having major issues and they didn't expect for it to give them this much of a headache. I'll post more as soon as I find out.

As posted April 1st, 2010.
I'm crossing my fingers that the news will be different on April 2nd, 2010.

Looks like someone beat me to mentioning what day it is.

Three things:

1) Brian, we miss you!!!!

2) As someone else has already said, today is indeed April Fools Day, and...

3) Do any of you remember the contract that was released around the time that the WWoHP announcement happened? Do you remember a key date that was thrown in to that little document? I clearly remember that the contract stated that the island must be open no later than June 30th, 2010. Now, I don't know if this means that the island can open without FJ, but...

Brian, you don't have to wait for an opportunity to tease us to post. :wave:

People are going to get fire for this. PR department will be kicking in later in the day.....wait for the spin...

I didn't even notice!! Thanks lol! I REALLY hope BriMan was trying to fool us!

Well, I'm going to bed... See y'all tomorrow for more awesome WWoHP fun!

Can someone send me a picture of the seat? I want to give it my own opinion rather than just imagining stuff.

 

[SL_ZER0]

briman, methinks you april fooled us all.
i was going to say "that's why we're not going until feb!" but that was before someone mentioned the date.
mostly we are going in feb to avoid crowds and because i want it to be chilly in hogsmeade.

i was going to ask someone to post the link to the extended ellen preview but its on in 6.5 hours now so nevermind.
i have my alarm set. see you all in the morning. bright and early, kids.

I hope it's an April Fool's joke, but even if it is, chances are it's going to circulate for awhile. Epic! You the man, BriMan!

Hehe I think I'll have to avoid this thread today with potential April Fools slander running around ound:

Yeah I did get the picture of the seats. They aren’t that bad, but they kinda look like Pianos on a stick... (For the people who wanted them described). Just because it is night here, doesn’t mean is night in Orlando... Or DOES it...? :stunned:
