Judging from the blueprints, it doesn't seem that there will be any line of sight into Diagon from the London waterfront. There should be more layers of wall coming to that entrance.

There will be... we saw the last central arch column laying on the ground in lastashen's photo. There is so much stuff going on with ramps and such that I am not sure where the buck stops. Enter here, go there, walk around and around there until you are somewhat back here which by then will be hidden from view. It's very interesting yet odd and confusing.

Caught the Hogwarts Express testing tonight. Every time I tried to move closer, it would quit running for a while, so this was the only footage I got:

2 thoughts on that:

1) It moves a little quicker than I imagined it would.

2) It is so strange to see the train moving backwards.

Nice! Thanks for the video! :thumbs:

The speed was indeed surprising. Maybe they're trying different speeds, and then again, maybe that's the final speed and they're just cycling that. Either way, very cool!

I dont like the fact that the train can be seen from public areas. Hope they fix it. Thanks for the video triggernel.

I really don't think that's something they can fix. Unless they plant some REALLY large trees. Idk if you've seen it in person yet but if you're by the Beetlejuice show, it's extremely visible.

Count me disappointed if it has sliding compartment doors, as the photo on the last page suggests.

The web cast is on Thursday the 23rd. I'm supposed to get an e mail for it. I think it's going to be at 10:30.

I believe that trains back up quite often, to switch tracks etc. Anyone here know about trains that could elaborate on this?

I don't believe anyone here judges a show building being visible from a long distance, but only from inside the land in which the show building should not be seen.

There should be very large trees installed, and if so, turn your eyes to ValleyCrest to possibly be in charge of the job. Watch for the second picture in the slideshow below:

Today is "media" day. Inside the Magic is there. Jim Hill flew in yesterday. I'm sure you can count on that other guy being there as well.

One thing is for sure, the following weren't/wouldn't be invited: Parkscope, Orlando United, and Orlando Informer. Funny how that works.

Don't panic, Ricky is always here (like me) and the "other guy" won't be. I'll be allowed to say more after tomorrow's webcast.

Go to the link they sent you. There's a countdown clock. Or adjust 10:30 EST to your timezone.

Unfortunately, by "here" I mean on propery. I'm not one of the lucky few behind the walls today. That's all major national media...
