I don't recall the media ever being able to prance around Hogsmeade the January of that opening. What did they drag them around to see? Everything is so half baked right now. I would think they were taken into a room with concept art and models and that is it. Otherwise, bring your steel toed boots and a hard hat.

That and allow them to hype it up even more on blogs, podcast and the radio..

"i cant say anything now, but we are in for a treat!!!" Kind of thing
 
As much as I want every update to be done with SLR, a smart phone is more discreet as they say. So on the eve of the Diagon Alley media event, enjoy this update.

SUMMER 2014
HOGWARTS™ EXPRESS
With a PARK-TO-PARK TICKET, you’ll be able to take the Hogwarts™ Express* from London's King's Cross Station in Universal Studios Florida to Hogsmeade™ Station in Islands of Adventure!

*Additional restrictions may apply


What would the restrictions be?
 
Notice that there are no workers in the photos above. Such a thing happened later in the early spring at midday on Phase I; all the workers disappeared (to another location unrelated to work). That said, this is a new approach, the press didn't get near Phase I until it was finished. This is very different this time around on this new Potter project.

That and allow them to hype it up even more on blogs, podcast and the radio..

It just shows one that the past is the past and the future may bear little resemblance when is comes to business.

FWIW I did spot some workers inside Diagon, just none on the outside facade today. Without the right equipment it's hard to get pictures showing that but I saw them.

It's legal speak, so they may just be covering themselves for the future, like if both parks aren't closing at the same time (do we know if the closing times will typically be the same now due to this?), or if there's special events, etc.

They were allowed to walk the streets of DA but didn't go inside any buildings. Even so, I hear it made a very good impression.
 
Ill be working at good ol' Islands Of Adventure tomorrow until 6PM. Is there any way that someone,anyone, can record the webcast and post it on youtube or some other site to get it on here?

I'm sure people are gonna record it and post it on Youtube. I'm gonna see if Inside The Magic will have it tomorrow, so I can watch it after school. He's done it before so I wouldn't be suprised if he did.
 
Thanks for the pic update, frenzy88! :thumbs:

How is no one (well, except for one brief mention last page) talking about @AmusementLeaks return?!

SPOILER from one of the leaked plans:


Hagrid's bike looks to be parked outside the entrance to Gringotts!



:)
 
@AmusementLeaks resurfaced tonight with a huge dump of detailed 722 blueprints. Get 'em while you can!

Finally someone on my same wavelength :lol:

BTW, sorry you couldn't attend the DA tour today, Seth... Sucks. Would have loved to get your POV on it.

The pages keep crashing. What gives?

What I do is download them, then view them on my computer :thumbs: (PS: try a different browser also if you can't load up enough to get to the download link)
