TAH DAH! My hunch was correct! You are the only one I trust to report accurately as I am sure you have figured out.
Thanks! :thumbs:

First, and foremost, here's some recent Hogsmeade/Madam Puddifoots footage from the Orlando Informer, if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVkC_aCyh2w
True, but crowd management has to be taken into consideration, as well. Personally, pictures of crowds like we saw at the grand opening at 2010 make me want to stay as far away from Universal as possible until I hear crowd numbers and waiting times are a little more reasonable.
Absolutely. Those pictures are worth their weight in gold.
"Can you believe how good this is!? look at how far people are willing to go to see it!"
You don't quietly open an expansion like this. You make damn sure everyone knows when it's open and when they can come see it.

I would think it would be cool if many of you post on twitter that:
"The Today Show will be Universal Studios Friday, 4/25 to announce the grand opening date of Diagon Alley, and all AP holders are encouraged to attend! Be there at 7AM so you can be on TV!"
(i am nothing but trouble) :sneaky:

^^^ My guess is that is the reason that it was "cancelled" because it got out and they didn't really want it getting out.
Correct! Wouldn't it be cool to see 800 people crowding into the London walkway waiting to get in?

I don't want to stand next to Al Roker and wave in front of the facade. Just open the darn thing already!
Just heard Today Show talent has been released from work tomorrow morning. Interpret that as you will.
I am not concerned. It was never intended to be a public event to guests anyway. The fact that they may have been filming in Hogsmeade's Ollivanders does concern me a bit though. It suggests that Diagon Ollivanders may not be ready for primetime yet.
They (WB,UC, Nassal, KHS&S) are tripping over themselves in these final weeks. Up north he'ah (here), at the county fayuh (fair), we call it a Greased Pig Squeal AKA controlled chaos.
I've heard they filmed in Diagon and Hogsmeade.
And I'm not concerned, but if the rest of the cast was given off tomorrow, are they airing the things filmed today tomorrow?
And, as I pointed out in the Hogsmeade thread (http://www.orlandounited.com/forums...ld-of-Harry-Potter-Part-2?p=365219#post365219), you can see in that video that the front right flower on the Madam Puddifoot's cake is disguising what is clearly a camera/sensor, presumably for the interactive wand effect on the adjacent cake.
No, we will get a few live shots... at controlled angles. The b roll has always occurred, even the vignette stories, and that is why Al arrived at noon today.
The cool part is, what live shots will we see for the first time. I am excited at what might be revealed. Anything will blow my skirt up, I am sure.

So? Announcing it later would stop that how? People will always show up in droves for this.
