From OI:
EDIT: Man, the lighting effect from the lamps on the lion heads looks incredible.

Thanks GGG. Mercy... gave me goosebumps... still is. Wow, what a show.

The embankment is breath-taking at night :died:
Imagine the lighting for inside Diagon at night...

I bet it will be amazing! Looking forward to seeing some professional photos of that to set as my desktop wallpaper :doggie:

Loving the light reflections on the water, too!!!

Not really anything new, but still an interesting read!

I expect the clock will be backlit as well. It all looks great.

EDIT:

This picture was posted by @ThemeParkInsite showing stares down into Leicester. Hadn't noticed that before.

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the pictures, everyone!

I actually happened to be in the area tonight and stopped by USF for a bit. This was my first time back in over a month and well... WOW! Everything looks stunning in person! And I got to see it mostly lit up, which was just breathtaking! I'm gonna try to stop by again tomorrow night and get some proper DSLR pics, but in the meantime, here are some cellphone pics from tonight:

Great pics, Felipe.

Wish I'd stayed later! Very nice.

Bulb already burned out on the leftmost strand? :embarassed: Was that intentional?

Maybe? Could not be installed yet? Voltage wrong and they have to rewire it? I mean it's the first night!

@AmusementBuzz New ticket kiosk area for diagon alley pic.twitter.com/1tDg3RxAQs

I was going to say that they need to get a move-on on that. But then I realized that they won't need that open during softs, it really only has to be ready by the Grand Opening.

FYI a week late (and a ton of pages ago) the over night casting call I reported last week was indeed for filming in Diagon Alley. Promo material

From buddy @AmusementBuzz

Small women or large lion heads? YOU DECIDE!

The question remains, why wouldn't they paint them before installation?

Everything is looking good though.

Wait. Are they still doing casting calls??

So there's going to be a kiosk to go and get a ticket to get into the area? And those pictures! Disney's Boardwalk eat your heart out, haha. One thing I have to clear up though: how does one pronounce Leicester? Is it Ly-chester, or Ly-ster, or Ly-kester, or even Lay-chester, Lay-ster, or Lay-kester. Or is the first syllable pronounced Lee? Lol.

You can see in the wider shots that one lamp and the strands on either side of it were not lit. Probably just a bad fuse or something.

To the best of my knowledge, it's Ly-ster.

--Scratch that^. I just looked it up, and apparently it's pronounced Les-ter.

extras for a commercial to be done in diagon alley

 

[Quetzal]

Wow the whole area looks lovely, I'm a bit confused as to the order of how they're doing things, but I imagine that's just to save time.

It's pronounced 'Lester'.
