Calm down disfreak. Honestly the almost fixed "initiative" WILL Make everyone unhappy. My picture is deleted by the way.

Typing about getting from room to room... Does anyone know if the queue is simply continuous and we enter each of the main "preshow" rooms without any doors and therefore could enter mid Dumbledore's monologue or Harry, Hermione and Ron's scene, or the queue is divided by these rooms and we are ushered into Dumbledore's office and The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom? Am I being clear? Just want to know if the queue is controlled by points where we are asked to wait before entering to insure that we see the "scene" played in order, or we could just walk in mid scene because of the flow of the line?

My guess would be that it is like several preshows. We will walk into one, stand and watch the show and then walk to the next room. I'm imagining it like multiple Rock N' Roller Coaster preshows.

I guess Ellen is on earlier for me than most people. 10am EST. Fifteen min from now (to save some of you from doing tome calcs). Xnyway that's way earlier than I usually get up. Needless to say I wasn't happy to find out there really was nothing about wwohp on yesterday. I saw the Ollivanders clip and got pretty excited though! Must have somehow missed the Beauxbatons bit while chopping vegs at commercial breaks.

Anyone else catch her severely mispronounce Gryffindor like 3x? honestly I was a little disappointed. Sort of makes ne think she's never even seen a up movie. What a waste that she gets to see wwohp so soon if that's true. .
Celebrities. :eyeroll: Dont get me wrong I really like Ellen.

Anyway I think so far by everyone posting times that I might be first to see it today. Yay I'll finall have "the scoop" on something!!
So I'll post here with anything good from the show as soon as it's over. Be forewarned. If you don't want to know then skip my next post!
Be back in a hour ish. Bye.

I will "calm down" when you edit the pic out of your post.(page 73 its still there) Because even though as you said it "I can't. Everyone brigaded to get it on here." as far as taking it down in your PM.

It DOESN'T MATTER what they wanted because like I have said the mods did not want it up.
Sorry to be a __ about it but Universal is calling this sites threatening them so they will take the pic down. This is why the mod took it down in the 1st place. So is it more important to please everyone than to have your favorite forum still exist?

Sue me for giving a __ about what the mods want who are in charge let's just carry on doing whatever the hell we want. *rolls eyes*

So I just watched ellen and it was pretty much a waste of time as far as wwohp goes. We got to see some stuff we havent seen before but nothing the utterly amazing. You get to see more of the queue, and inside of the shops. It's also about 45 minutes into teh show...

OMFG Look at the ellen in the wizarding world of harry potter AHH http://ellen.warnerbros.com/ its shows inside some of the shops

 

[Tbad556]

Thanks for the video, BBPH! It showed a lot of stuff we have never seen before and it looks amazing.

Yeah, I know the shops are small but there actually not that bad

 

[universal chris]

thanks for the video.

Small little DD update from @Matpez:

Dueling Dragons using most of old queue through caves today. All skulls, webs and other removed. Just cave walls and lanterns.

 

[BBPH]

Small little DD update from @Matpez:

So theve opened up the full queue?

 

[Tbad556]

So theve opened up the full queue?

Not all of it. According to him you can go through most of the cave portion today. When the whole queue opens, you will go through the castle, the cave and a few other areas.

That video is... AWESOME, so excited! Thanks for posting

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Thanks for the heads up on the video since Ellen doesn't air until 4PM here. I have a lot to get done today but if nobody beats me to it I may be able to screen cap this later. Remember if you do don't directly post pics post links to them if possible.

EDIT: Did anyone else just spend a fortune just by watching all the cool merch. in that video I am in major trouble

 

[SL_ZER0]

Okay wow. I'm even more excited for wwohp now!!! *

Ps those kids weren't very knowledgeable as far as I'm concerned.*

Here's everything i can remember.*

They went into DB and mostly Quidditch equip was visible.*

Ollivanders looks awesome. No wands were shown just the counter. And yeah it's really small.*

Homeydukes looks amazing and roomy. Candy eaten was called love potion but I don't think it was. Pink and white confection. Look gummy ish. Named Pink Ice or something.*

They were inside the Dumbledores Office set, I am pretty positive go will not be allowed to do this.*

Kids wearing xl gryffindor scarf and student uniform black peaked hats. Broomsticks look like a nice way for children to render themselves or passersby sterile.*

They were throwing snowballs at eachother OUTSIDE!!!! I can only assume this foreshadows outdoor snow.*

No queues except office set. No DC OR FOH. *No looks inside 3B or HH. *

Owl post looked very authentic except a giant roll of bubble wrap. Heard owl sound effects!!!!!!!

Rode FOH just brief footage train looks nice and wickery.*

Wait there was a little more of FJ queue duh. Remembering now. Portrait room looked towering and I wonder how we will appreciate the detail of upper portraits.*

Also Fat Lady is at floor level. Life size. As big as Ellen. Effect is flawless and movie quality as are all portraits as best I can tell.*

Triwizard show in front of rock seems to ascribe to single gender construct of films instead of coed book canon. Didn't get a look at the flags. Clips were too quick. They didn't use rocks so maybe space us also for frogs? Or maybe for effects for Triwizard show.*

That's all I can remember. Anyone feel free to add more. I'll look for online vid later to screen cap if no one has done it by the time I get home this evening.*

OT- I always thought HRRR was sort of lame. Music woo hoo whatever. But after seeing it on Ellen I'm realizing I never bothered to look at the track layout. It loons AWESOME. *Can't wait to ride it once we get annual passes in Dec. Might not make it to Studios on the Jan trip (mostly wwohp for that trip) but definitely looking forward to it on subsequent trips.*

 

[HeMax]

God, I hate those little boys. It's like, they can't be SUPERFANS, they're like 7 years old lol, I bet they didn't even read the books lol

 

[SL_ZER0]

Haha well I guess I didn't get the scoop. Oh well.
Why not post direct pics? Why link? Personally I prefer in post pics than following links. Everything in one place is especially nice when browsing from my iPod. And it can't be an ownership issue, capping pics and uploading elsewhere and linking is just as 'bad'. Plus it makes mire work for the poster and the reader....

Because some people want to avoid spoilers.

 

[SL_ZER0]

Oh come on. I hope you're kidding.
I thought there was a FJ spoiler thread but the rest was fair game. Now everything is off limits?
How far is this spoiler thing going to be taken?!

Let's just rename this thread "I wonder when softs will start" and make spoiler threads for every single other aspect.
