Harry Potter Theme Park

[kretzy]

Universal are recreating the world of Harry Potter in a new theme park.

Link

Sounds pretty cool to me.

Will they allow mere muggles to enter? (I know, it was stupid, but I needed to say it.)

I can't picture an entire theme park based purely on Harry Potter, unless they were to recreate Hogwarts and/or Diagon Alley, the forests, etc. (which would be pretty cool).

Yep I think that's what they're doing. Just found another link with more details.

Edit: and another just for good measure.

Okay.

So at first I was gonna tease max_alt slightly... and then I clicked on the latter links, and I dunno if it's because I'm silly tired, or what, but I'm genuinely intrigued. Replicas of Hogwarts. Mmm. Diagon Alley would be fun, too. Would they have portions that resemble London, though?

 

[bartelby]

It's nearly as sad as The Creation Museum!

I hate to burst your bubble, but I think I hold that title.

I've traveled to London for each of the four movies. This time around I'll be there July 12th - July 22nd, so I can see the movie and grab the last book all in one fell swoop.

With "highlights" like the book/DVD orgy and the book frenching, I totally expect to see you on Dateline when they go after Pedolibrophiles.

Uhhhhh.... ?

I'm not conceding any title in this, but I laughed hard enough I almost peed myself.

I have to point out my costume for a Halloween party a few years back themed "F***ed-Up Fairy Tales". My costume: Gender-confused Harry Potter

OH MY GOD! THAT IS SOOOOO WRONG! But I totally burst out in laughter. HP theme park? Uh, cool I guess, I won't be going though.

It looks really near...but they have gone way to far.....

 

[squeeks]

they are using an existing mid evil section of the park (the north west corner with dueling dragons) and just expanding and re theming it to fit the harry potter world, so its really not that big of a deal

 

[themadchemist]

Of course they are. Now as long as they leave LOTR alone, things will be OK.

 

[Iscariot]

I am so going to that theme park dressed as Aragorn.

 

[Jasonbot]

Noooo.... How can they corrupt The Dueling Dragons, that was my favourite :'(

Oh well Islands of Adventure is still the best.

 

[GSMiller]

Not a Harry Potter fan.

 

[ezekielrage_99]

I wonder if they'll have a ride where you go into Dumbledorks's closet then you come out of it just like he did
