New Pictures from Potter Park construction
New Pictures from Potter Park construction Two websites that follow Universal Studios developments have recently updated with new construction photos and information regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park.

First, Universal Ignited has three new pictures of construction on their site. While it doesn't show much, we do see that progress in terms of land clearing is being made.

Second, Screamscape has a YouTube video revealing two concept images we saw in the JK Rowling documentary. One, seen left, is the Hogwarts Express on display for visitors. The other appears to be Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley.

We'll continue to bring you updates as construction rolls along. As we reported back in August, the theme park is scheduled to open between December 2009 and June 2010. Thanks to Jerry for the tip!

Andrew when is a new MC going to be out?


Posted by aPotter321 Jan 7th 2008

Nice! Well being a flordian, who highly enjoys theme parks, i think that Disney could have done it more justice, but disney takes things above and beyound. However since things didnt work out with Disney, at least it is Universal, which is still in Florida. For those of you familar with the park, I have heard that the rides known as the Flying Unicorn (lol, i no lame) and the Dueling Dragons are going to be remodled to become Harry Potter rides. I also know that many people are looking forwark to a Forbidden Forest car-ride, but I really just don't see that happening. Now I have tickets to Disney or else I would be the photographer for Mugglenet, but for those you you Floridians who live near, have tickets, and are Mugglenet vistors I suggest going on Dr. Doom's Deathdrop for pictures. Also many people are under the impressions that you would be able to enter the castle. Well I tell you I will be amzaed and very suprised if the castle is open. I think it is just going to be there. That or they are just going to open the Great Hall as a resuraunt. Nothing more. LMAO you wont be able to go to Harry's fourposter is what Im trying to say. As of now I can say that this is going to go ethier way. However, I am afraid that the more of a fan you are, the higher chance you have to be disapointed.


Posted by Celina69 Jan 7th 2008

HOLY CRAP!! I cannot WAIT till the park opens up! I am so there opening day!!


Posted by kooldude10694 Jan 7th 2008

Awesome! Now we finally get a look at it!

Posted by rooon Jan 7th 2008

Although I shouldn't speak yet. It could end up great! It just seems a little weird.................... ...


Posted by aPotter321 Jan 7th 2008

well rooon i can see wut u mean. This is ethier going to be perfect or its going to blow up in their faces. It could go ethier way as of now.

Posted by magiclover Jan 8th 2008

a part of me is going crazy because of the park, a bigger part of me wishes that the world of magic stayed in the wonderful book of harry potter I mean that place, that world of magic, is more then a hogwarts and a forbidden forest and hogwarts is more then just a castle I don't think making a castelor a ride would be the same notthing like it would be the same but anyway I try not to think about that stuff right now I'll just keep working on the side that is so happy about the theme park


Posted by muggle_magic Jan 8th 2008

i cant wait. its going to be a little taste of the magical world of hogwarts! how amazing.

Posted by HarryPotterFreakers Jan 8th 2008

For all of you that are worried about being disappointed, here is what i have to say to you. Even if there is no Honeydukes, or maybe they dont let you go in the castle, i am still THRILLEd because there is going to be Harry Potter there. At the LEAST, I will be able to see Hogwarts, buy Harry Potter stuff at the stores, and be surrounded by other fans. I am keeping my hopes down, in hopes of being thrilled later!


Posted by tiassa Jan 8th 2008

'lo becky!
