Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[justibbs]

I'm curious, why do we worry about an outdoor queue that's in the back of the ride at this point? Aren't we more excited for the all the amazing stuff we are going to experience than a backdoor queue anyways? Everyone is titled to their own opinion of course, but doesn't being so negative about the "Maybe" one flaw of Diagon Alley kind of ruin it for you? I just don't get why we pick the one negative thing out of the million positive things to focus on/talk about. Not trying to be rude or criticize anybody, but I have a hard time trying to understand the thinking behind that. Anyways, I also believe this is not the final look of the queue.

I totally give this a +1. Out of all the fantastic things going on in Diagon, this is what has inspired page upon page of debate? I mean in a weekend when we saw that amazing dragon go up, this stupid queue gets more comments than that?! Also, how about reserving judgment until construction is complete! This is still an in-progress project and as we have seen, things change drastically, sometimes overnight. I have a hard time believing that Universal is going to have people baking in the sun for hours in that line!

Hahaha! But the queue! THE QUEUE!

Word going around twitter is that the opening is taking place June 26th. As with everything else, take this with a grain of salt.

 

[Junorhane]

Yes this is true. Its the same idea as Universal and Disney dollars

Can we also store our wizard money in our vault at Gringotts once we open our account? Can I just leave it there for the next time I visit the park? That'd be cool.

There was a debate about extended queue? Oh boy. There goes OU reaching again.

Hm... if this is true, then... on the other hand, she wore a glove. :look:

I don't think we were reaching anything crazy, but to each their own.

I'm hearing there will be soft openings for guests, barring any catastrophes, before the media event.

Looks like painters tape.

Edit
Yep its tape.

Tape on the bus as well

That is what I was going to guess as I saw some in other places:

Just spoke with my source and the executives mark places with issues with blue tape so the workers know what needs to be corrected.

Aah... I hadn't noticed the others. I thought it might have been a camera aberration. I think they need some blue tape on that "solid limestone" balustrade that is floating in the air above the cornice.

Do you really think there's gonna be a space for thousands of people to store fake money in a theme park attraction? Cool idea but not at all practical.

I was about to say, typically when a punch list is going around, that's one way stuff like that is marked. Takes the guesswork out of fixing what the customer wants fixed.
