Potterheads! Make Your Travel Arrangements NOW!!!

Filed under: Harry Potter

 

Universal Studios announced today the official opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park!

Coming in Spring 2010, you can visit the world of Harry Potter including Hogsmeade Station, Owlery, and of course, Hogwarts, which will be the new parks main attraction and is described as "much more than a roller coaster."

Look at some of the preliminary drawings and renderings of the park above.

Thoughts?

      Love Potter but this is retarded.. it looks boring and incomplete… just another place to go and drop your hard earned $$$… screw this… you like Potter? then you'd be better doing a Potter marathon at home with friends and pizza and popcorn…
      This is just gonna be another plastic fantasy that will empty your pockets and for what? just to walk around in a place that looks like the original? LOL…
      I'd be more interested in visiting the real places, like where Hogwards was actually filmed… Not this fake balony crap they are building to steal more of your money….

    19. 119

      This place has been in the making for 3 years, and why Disney announced at D23 Expo recently that Walt Disney World's Fantasyland is getting a huge make over. This added edition to Universal's Islands of Adventure still is looks better =)

      so.. i died and born alll over again!!



    34. 134

      mm…this COULD be kind of cool actually….maybe….naw not really.

      i just hope they dont make a Twilight one….thats just too much.



    35. 135

      I hope it's good. Like actually fun, not just a huge marketing ploy, which it kind of looks like based on all the shops. There should be a bunch of rides/games. Like some form of quiddich!



    36. 136

      i am so unbelivably excited for this
      p.s. perez your so late, most potterheads knew about this months ago!



    37. 137

      :p harry potter should go die in a hole!



    38. 138

      If they do it right and not make it too comercial, sure I'll go. I'm not the biggest harry potter fan, but it looks pretty awesome. I've always wanted to go to universal anyway, so it just makes sense for me to go.

      Just please please please, never make a twilight theme park. God that would be dumb. Don't yell at me twihards I love Twilight, more than any other story ever, I read it all the time (Movie kinda sucked). But there would be no reason for a theme park.



    39. 139

      OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! OMG i want to go soooooooooo bad!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!



    40. 140

      Re: Crazydude

      I think it's just going to be a sitting area…there won't be Owls in Florida.



    49. 149

      Re: OMG-ROFL

      Oh shut up. They've been working on this since 2006…it's going to be BRILLIANT! If you want to stay at home and have a marathon then go ahead, but I'm going to be at the theme park spending ALL MY MONEY! I can't wait! I hope they have the movie premiere for Deathly Hallows there!! :D :D :D

      Re: lord*vader

      No. But I don't think they're being that detailed. There's a shop called Filch's Emporium and that's not in the books. And the owlery isn't on the ground in the books. But it still looks awesome!!



    51. 151

      That looks amazing! Last time I went was in 2000? Geez wayyy too long ago.



    52. 152

      Not a fan…but it looks interesting. Especially since I'm into that whole medieval look.

      I just hope to God they never come out with a twilightworld.



    53. 153

      Are they going to make a hogwarts hotel? How do they plan on building all this in less then a year?



    54. 154

      Re: htownboy – You can go to Edward Cullens house. In Forks Washington. Its a bed n Breakfast!



    55. 155

      Re: TattooGoddess

      They've been working on it since before 2006…I guess only the hardcore HP fans have known about it. They're just now announcing the release date. But they've been planning/designing it for years and they released polls and surveys to some the fans to come up with what shops and rides they would have. I'm so EXCITED!!! :D



    56. 156

      hmm I hope it's good! I don't like Harry Potter that much any more but I loved it when I was younger!
