Actually the designers specifically cited the HM queue bookshelves for their planned effect, but because it's a 20' wall safety was afraid kids would try to climb it and get their fingers pinched. Also the original wall would have been much thicker. That's why Alan Gilmore came up with the current design.Is anyone else at least a little disappointed that their is only one ride in Diagon Alley?

This is bull because disney has a bookcase at the Haunted Mansion line that pushes the books in and out.

To be fair, I felt there was more to do and see in DA with only 2 rides (and 1 was mostly inoperable) than in all of Hogsmeade. I spent about 10 hours over 2 days inside and there are still things I didn't have time to explore.My family thinks somethings is wrong with me. I've been talking about this for the past couple months.
With Hogsmead, you have 4 rides to choose from. In Diagon Alley, their is 1 and in London, you can consider 2. However, I feel like in the land, D.A itself, their should've been at least one more ride. Obviously, we all are kinda obsessed and will explore the shops but for the majority, they'll probably walk in and out in just 2 min. Once they ride G.B, there is no other ride. They will have to ride the H.E and leave the park.
TAKE OUT FEAR FACTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did any of the press ask about the lack of cold air and other effects on HE?
The 2nd time I rode HE there was cold air during the Dementor attack but it's subtle. No leg ticklers but I think that was only ever fan speculation, and wouldn't really fit into what happens on the ride. The quality of the video screens, audio effects, and other little touches more than made up for it.
