Wizarding World of Harry Potter progress report
The title is correct and as of spring 2010 Harry Potters home will be in the theme park Islands of Adventure which is within the Universal Studios resort. The park is not basing the land on any of the books or films in particular but as a collection of all of those as a whole. They are working very closely indeed with WB with bringing the imagination of J.K Rowling to life. Having just returned from Florida, at the moment all that can be seen is Hogwarts Castle being built along with a Ministry Of Magic Decree saying no one can go anywhere near that part of the park.
There are two rides that are going to be closed for a short while as they are recieving a Harry Potter remake. The family favourite The Flying Unicorn will be turned into Flight of the Hippogriff and the dual-track Duelling Dragons coaster is set to be turned into Dragon Challenge. The latter of the two is actually still open so it is possible not much will be done to this ride at all.
The final ride is so secret that nobody knows what it is going to contain. The only thing that Universal have announced is that it will be called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and have stated it will be state of the art as well as mind blowing. Seeing as they have not broken their promises on other rides such as Spiderman, The Mummy and the very recent Rip-Ride-Rock it it could be very interesting indeed.
Dining experience will include the Three Broomsticks, Hogs Head and Honeydukes for all those Bertie Botts fans. Places in which you can shop include; Ollivanders, Zonkos, Dervish and Banges and Filchs Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Hogsmeade train station as well as the Owlery are also to be included in the new land.
So book your Florida holidays and USA holidays or even perhaps USA tours now to make sure you do not miss out on this opportunity.
