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

*Jaw hits floor*

As did mine... but I have no confirm it works... just that it is planned. I wanna state the height... but cannot... but that was what really astounded me.

I'm hoping the dragon would be more than a puppet which is what the Angler Fish is so I'm gonna guess Basilisk maybe? Or a Giant?

Hmmm.. the height of a bus has never amazed me... although I am sure that a few bluebirds have been hit by a bus... go figure.

Is this a subtle hint as to what it is? I'm definitely thinking Whomping Willow as it in real life would be gargantuan and also hazardous to birds.

I was watching Ellen show, and I saw that one of the boys has a wand! I'm trying to post a pic here, but i can't.

Just remembered in the HBP bonus disc footage about the WWOHP Rupert specifically says they will have a life size Whomping Willow so my guess is thats what it is.

That pretty much screams the Whomping Willow, which is mentioned by Rupert Grint in many of the videos. The Whomping Willow kills a bird in PoA. A life-sized Willow with KUKA arms for branches? That would explain why Teebin said this would be the most herky-jerky part of the ride. Dueling KUKA arms?! If that's the case, then that truly is amazing.

Well, it might! How all this plays out is just my idea of what I have been told combined with what I have read here by other sources. Two days ago I would have dismissed it as theme park hopeful's ideas.

Alright... Someone just post a picture accidently!!!


Just kidding -

awesome discussion tonight!

Those Bauxbatons girls have been practicing at least +30 hours a week for the last month and a half to learning that dance.

:smiley:

OMG this will be the greatest ride ever!! As if it wasn't gonna be already. So I know you cant post a height but could you maybe post how many scoops of ice cream you like or something else with some numbers that may or may not have something to do with the height of something?

 

[violarum]

You're amazing, Teebin, lol.
I thought of it being the Willow, but I really wasn't sure until... Ahem.
Thanks for that. Oh, so very much. Like, you don't even know.

 

[speckles]

....that would be mind blowing !!! Glad it was posted in this thread. lol

Was that a subtle stab at the Spoilers Thread?

 

[speckles]

Hope not too subtle

Let's just put it this way... I was told this after midnight which put it April 1. When BriMan made his Aprils fools joke... I thought... oooh, I have nothing to hint at as I believed "my source" had something new yet BriMan had something newer.

Damn April Fool's Day. Get a day chalk full of amusing, yet wasteful information.

 

[TheDecemberists]

Well whatever it is, we know it'll be big, fast, and epic. I don't really need to know exactly what it is. I'm already pleased. Thank you, Teebin.

No no no... that was not the point of that. It was not told to me as an April fools joke at all. This was in the biz, contractor stuff which are notorious for ignoring NDA's internally in the biz. You just have to befriend one of them.

So is your info legit or not? I'm confused.
