listening to it now. they're basically telling things that we've already heard about.

the one girl was just now saying, 'i was thinking about all the lame things they could possibly throw in. like having a character dressed up like hagrid running around and taking pictures with kids!"

...haha, isn't that common sense though? of course they're going to do that. why wouldn't or shouldn't they?

and i wonder how big hogwarts is going to be when they finish?

I wonder that too, anything less than the size of the castle at Disneyland and it'd be a disappointment.

Hopefully this delivers, if it does it'll do nothing but good for Orlando, cause it will make Disney have to step up there game :shock:

Yeah, that was Laura. I think though that she's a native of Atlanta, which isn't that far away from Orlando and so I think when you're the age the people at MuggleCast are 18-19 the thrill rides are probably what does it for ya. For old men like me, I can dig them but it has to be all about theming.

PostSubject: Potential ride names for the wizarding world?   The Wizarding World of Harry Potter I_icon_minitimeAugust 4th 2009, 21:47

(from orlandosentinal.com)

Quote :
A sleuth over at the IOACentral message boards has unearthed a dozen recent trademark applications made by Warner Bros. Entertainment that appear to be for rides, shops and restaurants that will be part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.

The most intriguing? "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey." It is one of three trademark filings in the batch for an amusement park ride, and it has touched off a torrent of speculation that it is the name of the dark ride that will be housed inside Universal's version of Hogwarts Castle.

The other two trademarks for rides include "Flight of the Hippogriff," which has long been rumored to be the future name of the Flying Unicorn, the children's coaster that Universal has temporarily closed down as part of the Potter construction, and "Dragon Challenge," which could be the new name of the Dueling Dragons roller coaster, which will eventually be rethemed and incorporated into the Wizarding World.

The trademark applications also include five for retail locations: "Dervish and Banges," which in the Potter books is a store that sells and repairs magical equipment; "Honeydukes," a candy shop; "Ollivanders," which sells magic wands; "Zonko's," a joke shop; and "Owl Post," which will presumably be themed around the Potter character's owl-based mail system.

There are also trademark applications for restaurant services: "Three Broomsticks," "Magic Neep," and "Butterbeer." And there is one for "Hogsmeade Village," which is described as a "themed area" and will likely be the location of most of the shops and restaurants.

One thing to keep in mind: It's unlikely that these names are set in stone. After all, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter isn't scheduled to open until sometime next year (Universal says by summer 2010 at the latest), giving Warner Bros. and Universal ample time to change their minds and think up new ones, particularly for the rides.

(from orlandosentinal.com)

Quote :
Each of Orlando's theme-park resorts is promoting new attractions this year, but it's something that won't open until next year that really has people talking.

"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," the $200 million-plus "theme park within a theme park" that is scheduled to open by next summer in Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure, has sparked a near-constant stream of speculation about just how the resort will bring Harry Potter's universe to life.

"The industry scuttlebutt is that it will be fabulous," said Bob Rogers, founder of BRC Imagination Arts, a Burbank, Calif.-based attractions-design company. "I see the gleam in the eyes of the people who are working on it. They think they've got a real winner here."

Universal has kept the project — based on the wildly lucrative, seven-book series by British author J.K. Rowling and the movies it inspired — largely shrouded in secrecy. Contractors working on the project have been required to sign confidentiality agreements, and the resort has offered few clues beyond a handful of artist renderings. Universal has also fueled the hype with a series of Potter-themed Internet polls asking fans questions such as what dragon they would like to ride (a Chinese Fireball beat out a Hungarian Horntail) and what they would like to drink (butterbeer bested pumpkin juice).


Shops, eatery, more
But interviews with people in and around the project, and a review of public records, offer some details about what to expect.

Plans for the 20-acre Wizarding World show more than a dozen buildings, including at least three shops, a restaurant and multiple forced-perspective decorative buildings. The centerpiece will be the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the iconic castle and keep from the Potter books and movies.

Universal's Hogwarts, records show, will be 150 feet, or 15 stories, high.

The castle will also house what is expected to be the Wizarding World's signature attraction. Several people familiar with the project, including one person directly involved, said the ride will be what's known as a "robocoaster" — a ride system in which guests sit in seats suspended from a robotic arm that can swivel and swoop in multiple directions while it advances along a track.

Plans show the track snaking through more than a dozen scenes, though what those scenes will be remains a mystery. The attraction, according to the people familiar with it, will also feature an elaborate pre-show queue with special effects such as floating candles and snow falling indoors.

Before they arrive at Hogwarts, guests entering the Wizarding World will pass through Hogsmeade Village, an old-Europe-style town from the Potter novels. Universal's plans for Hogsmeade include The Three Broomsticks restaurant, shops and stylized locker and stroller-parking areas. The few clues Universal has provided indicate the stores will include Dervish & Banges, which sells and repairs magical equipment, and Honeydukes, a sweet shop whose treats include chocolate-covered frogs.

In between Hogsmeade and Hogwarts, Universal is building Hagrid's Hut, home of the friendly half-giant. It has also said it plans to re-create the Forbidden Forest, an ominous setting from the books that's home to creatures such as centaurs, unicorns and spiderlike "acromantulas."


Re-themed coasters?
There is little yet to indicate what rides will be included in the Wizarding World beyond the Hogwarts "dark" ride. Part of the Wizarding World is being built in the Lost Continent section of Islands of Adventure, and documents indicate that two existing attractions there — Dueling Dragons, where riders choose between two intertwined roller coasters, and the Flying Unicorn, a children's coaster closed last year as part of the Potter construction — will be incorporated into Harry Potter's world.

Both rides are expected to be re-themed with Potter story lines. Records show, for instance, that Universal plans to add a large tent at the entrance of Dueling Dragons, which fans have speculated will ultimately be converted into a re-creation of a wizarding tournament from one of the books in which one of the events involves stealing eggs from dragons.

Of course, the rides are almost secondary for fans when it comes to the Wizarding World, said Robert Niles, publisher of the Web site themeparkinsider.com.

"People are expecting to immerse themselves in the whole Harry Potter universe," Niles said. "Really, a lot more than other attractions, people are going to be paying a lot of attention to the theming, the attention to detail and the atmosphere of the place, more so than the rides."

Universal would not elaborate on any of its plans last week.

"We will be excited to talk about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — when we are ready to do so," spokesman Tom Schroder said.

The off-the-charts anticipation surrounding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter comes with some risk for Universal, said Rogers, of BRC Imagination Arts. "If you're dealing with one of the great intellectual properties like, for example, Star Trek or Harry Potter, you have to work very hard to make sure that you don't disappoint the fan base," he said.

Whatever is ultimately included when the Wizarding World opens next year, newer additions will soon follow. Universal's licensing contract with Warner Bros. requires the resort to add elements from the final movies in the series — the last of which isn't scheduled to arrive in theaters until 2011.

The contract even states that the later movies must be represented "in generally similar per-movie proportion" as the first five films.

Like I was saying last night, my only concern for this is the fact that I don't know how well Universal does themeing. I mean things like Dragon Challenge, either seems like two nerds beating each other up at an anime convention or something else lame like that. I like the name of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, because again, that fits the theme of the books. If they take your Whomping Willow idea, then I think the roboarm could really work, if they don't, it'll be a little WTF moment in the middle of the park.

Another thing that worries me is that they have fans deciding this shit. History has proven, especially in geek culture that fans have no fucking clue what they're talking about when it comes to this stuff, that's why it's always better to let the IP holders decide. I mean, Disney would never ever do something like that, I can't imagine.

Other than that, I'm real psyched about the Hogsmeade Village stuff, the restaurants and shopping makes me feel like this:

So I'm listening to Pottercast ep 202 and I'm not quite understanding it but they're talking about how you'll be able to buy a "wand" and interact with various other things in the park, in the other lands as you want your wand at these objects. Sounds vaguely like the Kim Possible communicator thing at Epcot.
