Back in January, during the “Celebration of Harry Potter” event in Orlando, FL, Harry Potter fans were promised more information “soon” regarding the Diagon Alley expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Tonight, MuggleNet was present in New York City as new information about the Hogwarts Express was revealed, including information on an “immersive experience.”
With Universal’s Wizarding World Tokyo rumored to be opening in June 2014, we have to wonder – could Beijing be the next location of the Wizarding World? If so, this addition will be the company’s third park in Asia, joining parks in Tokyo and Singapore. Where would you most like to see a new location of the Wizarding World open?
Anyone hungry? Universal Orlando’s Vice President of Public Relations, Tom Schroder, and Senior Vice President of Universal Creative, Thierry Coup, tweeted photos of some of the food items that will be available at the Leaky Cauldron for the upcoming Diagon Alley expansion. We think the food looks delicious and can’t wait to try it for ourselves!
Orlando Infomer has brought us the next exciting image of progress at the Diagon Alley expansion in Orlando: the Hogwarts Express sitting at Hogsmeade Station! Orlando Insider has promised more information on the expansion later this week, so keep an eye on MuggleNet for all the latest details!
Preparation is still underway towards the construction at Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion. A new picture has revealed that a sign has been added to King’s Cross station! MuggleNet is happy to provide a closer look at what exactly that sign might read.
Last week MuggleNet took you behind the scenes of the Diagon Alley construction, and now we’ve got even more exciting news for you: a rumoured description of the Gringotts ride experience! Theme Park Insider claims to have obtained the storyline of the upcoming ride. If this indeed turns out to be true, then it goes without saying that this ride is shaping up to be pretty spectacular.
Millions who have read the “Harry Potter” series would do just about anything to become part of the wizarding world. Later this month, Universal Studios will be giving talented Muggles the chance to do just that.
Universal Orlando has added new viewing portals in the shape of telephone booths that allow guests to peek into the Diagon Alley construction area. The windows have been set in the walls on either side of the site.
Upon arriving for my breakfast reservation at the Three Broomsticks yesterday, the hosts informed us that a very special item was being offered off the menu that morning: Warm Butterbeer, a new alternative to the chilled and frozen versions typically available at the park.
