It was insane for the entire summer season, but the crowds did calm a bit in Sept. But even now the WWOHP can get crazy crowded.

TRACK SHIFT:
So, if you could see workshop construction photos of any prop, architectural or attraction element, what would it be? What item being created/tested would send you over the top? Many things have/are/will continue to be created...

Yep just different angles. The different curve is just an optical illusion, but it is right at the Mummy in both pics.
This is the halfway point between both stations, I did some checking on Google Earth when the WESH piece was first released and I remember it being just under like 300ft for the cross-over.
Coming from a non-Potter fan, Gringott's RV. I'm extremely excited for what may be the greatest attraction in the world, despite any adjectives being used to describe it right now.

It had been a while since I saw the Gringott's scene from the first movie. Below is the youtube link. It shows what we can expect to see when we first walk into Gringott's, as well as Harry going down to his vault. I think it would be cool if the ride ended with us pulling up to a vault, and we exit the train and enter the vault, which then connects us to the exit. Cannot wait to have more details about the ride!

Isn't there a chance we already got s glimpse in that leak over a year ago that had a sketch of them? Unless that was just an early version or alternate RV and they have changed since then
I'm still skeptical over that for many reasons. But you're right. It's possible. There's just not much I know, expect that Gringotts will be amazeballs
I'd actually like to see the special section of track that is being installed on this ride for a fun little angle

You never know, we may have seen the RV all along
Me personally, I'm more interested in the track and layout and seeing how it all comes together

I've been lurking on here for quite some time, but now is a good time to make my first post.
Do you guys think there will be any appearance of "He who shall not be named" at Gringott's or somewhere else in London/Diagon Alley?

I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure it was said back around Phase 1 that J.K. Rowling vetoed using Voldemort, as it sets a certain time frame for when the land is or something like that.

He's a huge part of the story, and I would be a little disappointed if he were left out yet again.
I hate to bring up the "thrilling" vs. "family friendly" topic again, but I had a thought that I would bet is the solution to this mystery.
It's very possible that the ride will recreate the extreme coaster-type experience depicted in Deathly Hallows and still have the whole family be "able to enjoy." How? THE SCREENS!
We're almost certain there will be (3D?) screens. Why not have mild dips and banks on the actual track and then recreate the crazy stuff on the screens? That would stay true to the excitement expected without pushing up the height restrictions.
I'd rather save the physical sets and theming for the slower bits, anyhow. :drool:

Voldemort was already there:

And let us remember that several of the Harry Potter cast filmed for a theme park attraction back in the fall/winter. Including Bellatrix LeStrange. Hmmmm
