I'll be there!
Also note, today is commercial filming day at Diagon per Twitter. The lab built, corporate, simulated, multi-ethnic, families in non descript colored shirts are out!
Disagree. I think Uni is playing their cards perfectly.
21st is Saturday and really is tempting to drive up and be there that morning. Not so much to ride and see everything (which I do want to but being semi local I know ill be back not too long after) but more so to see and be part of the madness that day as well as get some photos of the new area.
Do it Mike! I'll be there as well :thumbs:
Hopefully Fallon has some special DA stuff for the taping audience, too! I'd love to be able to get a preview! I finally got the 19th off work and things are finally lining up, so I hope thinks keep going my way, because that would be sooo awesome!
Keep in mind also though that it was at least initially driven by necessity. I think if they'd been weeks ahead in March and known a certain date they may well have announced it, even with what happened before. I think having passed the phase when they could reasonably have announced a specific date as future rather than imminent, they may have realised it was actually beneficial as well and decided to keep it zipped even after there eventually came a time when they could have announced a date.
In other words. Both methods working in tandem, as I suggested.
I really think this Quiet Opening is a step in the wrong direction for Universal. For us its fine, we can figure out a general idea regarding when itll open, but it really screws over the general public. People have to plan vacations and stuff. I dont know, it seems wrong to me for Universal to tease people and not just get an opening date set. I cant defend them on this one.
Not for opening, hopefully by the time summer is over.warm butterbeer

I'd think that the general public who has to plan a vacation isn't going to plan a vacation to be a part of an opening day where they have to wait hours just to get into the park, let alone everything else. If you are planning a vacation to be at opening day, you are an enthusiast.
Today was the second day in a row that 3 planes in formation circled over universal. I tried to take some quick pictures from my back yard but they didn't turn out very good. Any clue how these would tie into the opening? Seems as if they are doing some test runs just like the jets did a few days before Transformers opened, those damn things scared the crap out me as they came very low over my house and I wasn't expecting them, these were prop planes I believe. I understood the connection to that but can't figure out what the planes would do for diagon opening.
Yes, and their website makes it very clear how to plan a vacation to experience Diagon Alley. They have specific packages for it it's not an issue at all.
So who is heading up the 2am meet up at the front entrance to Universal for the wait to get into Diagon on the 21st
