Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Parkscope Joe]

I think at this point, its stupid to debate over which info is "good" or "bad"...because obviously everyone is going to think they have the best information and will refute what anyone else says. Nobody knows for sure, unless we have some Universal execs on this forum right now.

It's the issues of reporting 'rumors'. Some people post anything they hear, others only post vetted things from reputable sources and label them 'rumors' to save the person providing the inside info. As someone who's been burned on 'reputable' sites rumors before, I prefer (and we practice) the second method.

I think what happens come mid June will speak more about those with info more than anything.

I'm sorry, but what does TARDIS stand for? And, also, I was just wondering, what is the new date everyone is thinking is the opening? June 21st still or June 28th?

Time and Relative Dimension in Space, aka the Police Box time machine from Doctor Who.

For someone who can travel anywhere in time, the Doctor does have a strange affinity for modern day London ray:

I get my information from people who work on the ride and they themselves have told me its not anywhere close to being done at all, and is still having issues.

Well then they're either lying to you or all the people they let ride the ride multiple times yesterday.

 

[as4panthers]

Ok, thanks. I have never seen Doctor Who and don't really plan on it so I had no idea what you all were talking about.

 

[mratigan]

Can somebody repost that blueprint somebody made featuring all the Diagon Alley facades on it?

 

[TheBlackMamba]

When is a soft opening!!!! Im trying to go before Grand Opening

 

[USO92]

Oh OI, you tease! For a moment there I thought you had some decent info...:blank:

 

[Nitro_230]

I posted this in the gringotts thread, but due to the other info it mentions figured if post it here as well. This has me worried.

So funny thing about it is the day he posts "their mock preview, which has apparently was postponed yet again in recent days" is the first day of mock service.

The first of the wings is supposed to be going up tonight with the other coming soon...

^ and it's still happening when it was scheduled tomorrow night.

All of the nights are happening as scheduled. I just found it amusing that his "inside source" allowed him to post they are delayed on the very day they start. Really shows how good the info is.

I want the cheese plate right now!

Me too!


I can tell you that some of the information in Orlando Informer is indeed correct.

No one knows when soft openings are, and we don't even know when TM previews are, although I have heard rumors.

Or it's possible your source had outdated info. Thinking outside the box reveals crazy possibilities.

Also, I will be disappointed if Luna, Neville, and Ginny's voices and silhouettes aren't on the train... Luna had zero representation in FJ and Ginny and Bonnie Wright never got the screen time or script they deserved...

Ginny may have deserved more scree time, but... not Bonnie Wright.

Not exactly sure what you mean. My sources rode the ride. Last night. They spoke to the creatives. Last night. Unless the track fell apart in the last 24 hours, Gringotts is not "way far behind".

And yet The_Bled says his source works on the ride, and most workers know more about the operations of attractions than casual riders.

All Im saying is this whole back and forth about whos right and wrong is pointless. We will know for sure in a few weeks when we're either riding the thing or not.

I'm not doubting that they rode last night. But there could easily be more than meets the eye. Or more than some creatives were willing to come clean about.
