Is that the queue for Evil Dead he is standing in?

This just showed up on my doorstep...

That is insanely cool!! You are crazy lucky!

 

[Orlan d'Oh]

. . . Just one more thing ? :look:

 

[UK-Trigg]

It is indeed Seth.

The recent updates, announcements and info has really bought home how close we are you to this now, after Christmas we will only have around 6 months till opening and softs a bit before that. The next few months are going to be really exciting you see.

I vote it is time to open the kitty for a choppa. :happy::look::angry:

How did you get that and where can I get one hahaha

 

[JungleSkip]

Universal takes great pride in leaving the edges "raw". They have always done it. It is their style. It is intentional. From the "soundstage" upper edges of Mummy, to the obvious show building at Poseidon's Fury, to the flanks of FJ, and now the flanks of the WWOHPA. Universal has never been "you are in an exotic place" place, but the "scene from a fantastical movie" place.

I'll be honest, I'll be really disappointed if they leave the Grimmauld windows without anything in them/behind them. It looks really cheap the way it is now.

It'll probably be available soon on eBay from some of the few jerk members of media.

Soon my friend. Let's get past the holidays first. I can let you know that a plan is already in the works and has been for a while now. :sneaky:

 

[Teebin]

I am so happy that Skubersky wanders about on this website. His perspectives come from a completely different angle than anyone else.

 

[ReelJustice]

I really want a key.

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the higher-res pic, Gambit! It doesn't look so round now, so maybe it is Madam Malkin's after all?


Très intéressant about the trees, Teebin! I am glad they're relocating and not just removing / killing them.

:died: I am so jealous! I want! I want!! Thanks for sharing these pics, Seth!

I highly doubt they would leave them empty, though. I can understand (not prefer) if we see showbuilding, but the windows should be complete and look like all the other facade windows at USF/IoA. I fully expect a background and theming (including lighting) inside each one.

 

[Frogki]

Since those keys are obviously a part of the media event, is it possible they'll be included as some detail once the park itself opens? Could the keys be what HTF was talking about for the Gringotts queue? (That thing that people WILL want to purchase?)

 

[ReelJustice]

My guess, in the queue, you'll be given the option to purchase a custom key. You can probably name and number your vault or the vault number will be random.

For example:

Justice Family Vault [HASHTAG]#1011[/HASHTAG]

Going out on a limb here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the full depth of Grimmauld will be utilised as actual set decorated rooms, designed to enhance the look for the guests and also usable as conference rooms for VIPs. Imagine that.

That could be! A custom key and certificate would be pretty cool and I'm sure it'd be very popular.

Navigator's Club 2.0? That'd be something...

 

[Vyrus]

Or more like a UO version of Club 33 :thumbs:

 

[Felipe]

Whatever it may or may not become, we know for certain that 12 Grimmauld Place has a "working" (not dummy) front door.

 

[DufflesMcGee]

OMG, i just got mine in the mail too!!




NVM.. im trying to upload a jpeg on this thread but I dont know how to, Just got 3 tickets for the BCS game and wanted to share the pic

 

[UNIrd]

That box and key are BEAUTIFUL. Wow, I'm just thinking of what they've dreamed up for selling in this new land. And I'm pumped for the webcast! Excited to hear about all the shops and hopefully dining coming.

Your onto something but that's not it.
