Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Voidfish]

Bonnie Wright just tweeted "A quick break of interviews at Universal = more rides!!"

So I'm here crossing my fingers she means Gringotts.

Emails must be flying around Disney offices today. Imagineers must be scratching their heads.

I think they'll be watching with interest, but I don't think they'll be cacking themselves. The companies work differently from each other

 

[Voidfish]

One of the people on-site (a sweepstakes winner, I think) just said "neither Gringotts nor the Hogwarts Express will be running today for the a today Show winners" on Twitter. Ugh.

Not sure how many of these are new to us, but Hypable posted some pictures Universal sent them. Here are a few that I don't remember seeing on here:

That is disappointing. They must be giving priority to actors/media members? Unfortunate for us, as the contest winners are the ones tweeting the best pics!

Man i'm gonna have to find a way to back across the pond a lot sooner than I anticipated!!!!

 

[Frogki]

I wonder ... Does the map mention anything about the wands only being interactive for limited times? I'd imagine the instructions for the things would make it clear...

Indeed.

Hey guys,

I used to be a a quiet member a while ago that used to post occasionally. Forgot all my details so I'm starting new again.

Anyway, I follow this board frequently, and I really don't remember anyone posting this... did it slip through the cracks??

[rhino4evr]

so chances that the media will be able to ride seems slim too. Kind of embarrassing no? I mean you have all these people show up and there is nothing to ride. Just a bunch of cool store fronts. I bet universal is pissed.

^ I doubt anything is really broken down... I think they aren't comfortable having it publicly reviewed just yet... for a myriad of reasons.

This is a collection of Uni videos cobbled together by an amateur. The crappy red font near the end displays the aspirations of a 13 yo.

I wants all the Diagons!!!

I'm at work and I cannot concentrate with everything going on! So much excitement, anxiety, want-to-be-there-ness, and I'm pretty much on the verge of tears just looking at my Twitter feed :'(
