Why not flip what you have? Move the light blue building closer to your FF show building, and have the entrance to the restaurant be at the FJ showbuilding, just to the right of the FJ exit? That way it appears you are entering at the base of the castle, and have no need to create backstory or secret passages.

If the Great Hall entrance would've been at Hogwarts, It would've beem there since Hogsmeade initially opened.

Does anyone know if the Filch's shops at the other two parks are as cramped as the one here or did they expand the size in the other parks? That's one of the biggest changes I could see them making is to expand and improve the flow of guests and expand the store.

I think there's still hope there.

If it happens, all the rumoured stuff I've heard, sounds great. I'm taking most of the rumours from Jim Hill so again, take that with a grain of salt. I'll try and find the podcast where he talks about it to get people's minds working and pumped.

Edit: Skip to 34mins 30secs:

GREAT HALL.jpg

The white squiggly line going through the middle would be the pathway.

I know the Discovery Centre is loved but my god is that place dated now. Keeping the facade is an entry for the ride would make sense and it would make a great show building.

Hopefully the added foliage will hide the great hall and the green house, I know that's irked a lot of people. Moving the JP sign back should help the recent issues too around Hogwarts with the tree removal.

Also because it would be way too expensive to move the shop for the FJ carts.

With thinking through about it, I have more of what I would personally want to see out of a Forbidden Forest expansion..

To explain the Great Hall and the E-Ticket..

Great Hall

To explain why I placed the entrance/exits of the Great Hall away from Hogwarts is very simple and in a few ways..

A.) In Deathly Hallows part two, it is showcased in a scene that there were at a time before Deathly Hallows multiple passageway's that led from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts. It can be purely explained as simply put, they needed to find a way to bring people to Hogwarts with more ease without going to the castle itself from the FJ entrance; so, they use the passageway's to allow them to travel to the castle with not that many issues

B.) It'd be a situation like Carkitt Market. They simply would need to just have the entrance to the dining experience without having it all at one situated location; and that it could potentially add a bit more little lore to the Wizarding world in a sense of adding more to the Forbidden Forest; just like how the Market has done that for Diagon Alley.

As for the experience, I'd say it'd be like a dinner-experience on the vein of a Dinner theater experience with various acts exclusive to the experience as apart of it; allowing changes for various periods of the year (Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, E.T.C.) while offering somewhat of a higher quality of meals and drinks that are all inclusive to the experience when reserved to divulge in. It'd be a high end experience that would be a one-of-a-kind type offering that Universal Orlando can pull off for the park.

The Dark Forest E-Ticket

This one, is more easier for me than anything.

It'd feature a high-octane indoor/outdoor thrill-coaster with the ride vehicles being based off of Ford Angelica's with it being an attraction that is on the scale of thrill similar to Big Grizzly Mountain and Expedition Everest with interactions with the area surrounding it along with it being a mixture of a terrain coaster (artificially) and an inversion coaster that has multiple launches throughout.

It'd be either a Mack Mega coaster with custom trains, a Gerstlauer Family coaster (in the track and trains) or something similar to what Vekoma has done at Disney.

It'd also be a coaster that reuses concepts unused from the Japanese Dark Forest concept that was canceled with new features along the way from it, culminating in a brand new E-Ticket attraction for the area.

__

While this isn't my best, it's a quick one that I wanted to bring out..

If pressed, I'd prefer something a little more "family dark ride"-ish from a future Hogsmeade expansion, but if something like this got green-lit, I certainly wouldn't complain!

Probably nothing to do with the theme parks. Usually when they say braking news it's some stupid stuff that really doesn't matter. But I'm hopeful it's about Harry Potter expansion!!!

Two most likely things would be an announcement, whatever it may be, about DC, or something about FB 2.

I think this about 90% certain what will be announced.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner. IOA needs something to keep people at night.

In a way, this is the 2017 major addition to IOA and USH in a sense, like what was mentioned in the past of the 1 attraction per park per year basis.

@Marni1971 ya think this would be helpful for a future vid? ;) :)

It seems the only major difference between the two is where the maintenance area is. USH has it in the same building. IOA does not.
