Harry Potter theme park

One of the Universal theme park (Islands of Adventures) in Orlando Florida will have a Harry Potter section added to it in the spring 2010. The 20 acre section of the park named Wizarding World of Harry Potter will feature a realistic view of the Hogsmeade village complete with the Hogwarts express , castle and other attractions .

So being curious and also excited to see the new theme park for myself ( hopefully it will be open by March ) I went straight to the Univeral park web site that was set up for the new section. There I found a neat type of navigation and went right to the F&Q section and map part of the site to get a feel of what is in store for guest. It is a mouth watering tease I can assure you that. And have visited Universal on many occasions I can tell you that they do not make to many mistakes on their attractions. The first look video is also a nice idea of what is instore for you (check at the bottom of the post to get the link for the Universal/Harry Potter site) Here is the results that I found from them and other sources.

When will the park open?

Spring 2010.

Where will it be located?

Islands of Adventure in Orlando Florida

How big will it be?

According to some sites 20 acres. The official sites clains it will be comparable to the other islands in the park.

What will be the key elements of the park ?

Guest will be able to visit their favorite laces from the books, complete with shops , attractions and restaurants. Including Hogsmeade station , Hogwarts Express , the Owlery , the Owl post , Ollivanders , Dervish and bangs m Zonko’s , Honeydusks.

What rides and attractions will there be ?

The rides I have seen being floated are these three.

Dragon Challenge – based on the Triwizard Tournament. Hippogriff – a coaster based on Rowlings’ magical creature with the head, wings and front legs of a giant eagle and body, hind legs and tail of a horse. Forbidden Journey – billed as a never before seen ride that will take place int he Hogwarts castle.

How true to J.K. Rowlings’ seven-books will the park be ?

Mark Woodbury, head of Universal Creative, said Wizarding World scenery, attractions and souvenirs were faithful to British author J.K. Rowlings’ seven-book Harry Potter series.

Woodbury said visitors would be able to sample butter beer and pumpkin juice at the Three Broomsticks Restaurant, relax in the Owlery and be fitted for a magical wand in Ollivander’s Wand Shop, all of which are familiar to Potter fans.
