The whole problem with the entrance of JP from Potter could be solved with a canopy of camouflage nets they use in the army and some dino's to the left to move your eye away.

I agree. When walking through there back in early Feb. , I walked off to an area that, at least to me, would seem to work better with the new configuration of JP and the locker area redo.I propose moving the sign back a bit and creating more of a transition
Technically, at IOA the lands are supposed to 'begin' after the bridges...But they literally blew that with Potter...and before that, the transition from Marvel to Toon
If they moved the arch back a bit and replaced the other one we would all calm down

That would be cool, but that bridge is a photo op for everyone...I'm honestly surprised they haven't expanded it a bitHow about building a covered bridge that leads to the WWoHP that would be similar to one shown in the movies? Then, they could cover the transition and control the reveal of Hogwarts.
Exactly. Plus it's a prime viewing area for the night time castle shows... They're limited in viewing area capacity as it is.....plus if they move the arch back like we spoke, that will give them some additional area to place people to view the night show.That would be cool, but that bridge is a photo op for everyone...I'm honestly surprised they haven't expanded it a bit
Even with the other bridge
This ^Moving the arch further back into the land would be the ideal fix for that entrance, but I just don't think Universal would go through the effort after they never bothered to replace the arch on the other side.
Honestly, I don't understand why they don't just put the sign back haha.Moving the arch further back into the land would be the ideal fix for that entrance, but I just don't think Universal would go through the effort after they never bothered to replace the arch on the other side.
Exactly. I don't want to chance it.This ^
I feel if they move the arch we don't see it again.
I really studied that area when I was there in January. There's room.Honestly, I don't understand why they don't just put the sign back haha.
Everyone says "there's no room" but I have seen Universal make magic in tight spaces before.
Exactly..there's always roomExactly. I don't want to chance it.

Life finds a way....Exactly..there's always room
I'd be okay with a mini arch, electric fence, or even at least a sign when entering on that side though.I’ve been told that clearance with Pteradon Flyers is the issue for adding a new arch by the Kong Merch Cart and Thunder Falls.
That makes sense...The sign as it was would be right outside the clearance envelope of the carI’ve been told that clearance with Pteradon Flyers is the issue for adding a new arch by the Kong Merch Cart and Thunder Falls.
The immersive opening looks are indeed best to be seen and encountered counter clockwise. Though the attractions work better clockwise.The more I think about it, with the arguable exception of MSHI, the entire park is really designed to be experienced by walking counter-clockwise. Seuss's PoE Bridge is way more impressive with the Carou-Seuss-el structure, Lost Continent only has it's sign coming from Seuss, plus you can only see the Waterfall Mouth Guy on Mythos from that direction. Then Potter's Hogsmeade buildup, JP only having the arch from that side, Kong's sign facing that direction, and the Toon Lagoon Vista with Dudley and the Sign coming from Kong. IMO, Uni should be doing a little more place making work for the clockwise walker.

A smaller sign or a more simple design would be great
