Warner Bros. and Universal Orlando Resort have officially confirmed (finally!) they will be opening an entire "theme park in a park" based on the world of JK Rowling's Harry Potter in 2010, just before the final film is released. The attraction will include thrill rides, specialized foods, experience-based 'textural' features and more. ---- Read the rest of the article here I'm so psyched about this. I live only 2 hours away from Orlando. I don't know if there are many people who live in Florida anyway on LPA, but I still thought this would be pretty cool news to show. And even if you don't live in Florida, this would definitely be a theme park to come down and see when it opens.
I heard about this and I thought it was the nerdiest (sp?) thing ever, lol. I would so go to it though. I wanna ride a Nimbius 2000 or whatever.
Why didn't they just make one in London? That's obviously the place it should've been placed... but yeah, America is much richer, blabla. Now I won't be able to see it.
Yeah it is pretty nerdy, but I would still definitely go. I wanna go to Hogsmeade. Yeah, I know I'm nerdy when it comes to Harry Potter lol. This theme park sounds like sooo much fun though. Edit: I agree they should have put the park in London, but whatever, I'm selfish. I don't really care, as long as I'm near it I'm happy haha.
They were thinking about making a HP ride at first at Universal, to replace the Back to the Future ride, but instead, they're doing a Simpsons one. NERDS though! Oh well, my brother will be pleased.
There was still a Back to the Future ride? ... that's should've been replaced a long time ago. (I think I've actually been on it when I was in California on holiday, dammit, best vacation ever) But yeah, I'd still like to see how a modern new theme park would be build, I think it'll look awesome.
oh SWEET!!! im the biggest harry potter fan i know of in my school so, if i ever go to Florida this is going to be a must see..2010 of course
LOL I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd too...I live in NY though, but it would be cool to go. That's so COOL! *nerds off*
My inner nerd had a joygasm just at the idea of a possible partial recreation of Hogwarts, even though it probably wouldn't happen. But you never know, with some of the concept art and some of what is being said.
