  • When I went to universal studios, I got a gold pass so we skipped 90 minute queues :P

  • O man I remember watching this video and being so excited

  • Love this ride!

  • i'm sorry while i love america specially florida, hp was OURS! now i know we dont really have the land but alton towers should of a least built a smaller version first!!

    no not everyone in the cast was british but most were and it was entirely set in the uk! thats why we british hold it so close to our hearts because they used british acting legends and it was set in britain! so we should of had the first hp based ride!!

    i'm so pissed they built this a year after i went! cant w8 2 go again! :)

  • Yes ,there is a Hogsmeade! But only in the book

  • Comment removed

  • I remember before I got on the dragon challenge a make-a-wish kid got on in front of us. I almost cried I was like "Omg I hope she has a good time"

  • Why is everyone saying it should have been set in england. If w're going by the books here then really it should have been built in scotland not england. But whatever at least they made it! Stop whining and just be happy with the fact that there is a Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Ofcourse im sad thAt i probs wont ever be able to go but we still have our imaginations :) :)

  • @MaxRideJ you have to understand people will alwas gripe they are just jelous that it is not close to where they live ..i was at the inauguration of the park when the actors cut the ribbon on the park it was amazing i got hugged by emma :) sucks i moved away from orlando i lived 5 minutes from this park i live 6 hours away now but im going back next week

  • @chrisenglehart2011 Dont complain guys. I live all the way in (trinidad) the caribbean and i have to take two or 3 flights just to reach orlando.

  • @whaleous06 im not complainin at all i used to live down the street from this park and now i live six hours away i can still go when i want im going friday

  • @chrisenglehart2011 I'll be there Monday (1st time) Have to take 2 flights before I reach there, 1st stop Jamaica & then Orlando. I cannot wait, very excited. Hope you have funnnn!!! Enjoy!!!! ;-)

  • @whaleous06 oh wow im going to halloween horror nights thursday night then wakin up that next morning for islands of adventure im glad you had a safe flight if you have free time hit up city walk and international drive its amazing

  • @I'll be there for a while. booked a packaged with tickets to universal, seaworld, aquatica, etc. Thanks for the info. I'll be there for halloween horror nights as well, not sure exactly what day I'll go. Thanks for the info. Btw do u have to dress up to go to Halloween Horror nights? Or is it okay to be in casual clothes?

  • @whaleous06 if you dress up they will not let you attend you have to wear casual clothes

  • @chrisenglehart2011 Omg are you serious? Why can't u dress up?

  • @whaleous06 they like to separate the entertainers from the guests the people who work it are very dressed up i dont know the exact rules i never worked at Universal Studios I worked at IOA

  • @chrisenglehart2011 Okay, i now understand, that makes sense. Thanks again for the info. Have a wonderful time when u get there. Take care.

  • this guy is so dry.. get someone that is excited about rides, not the business behind it.

  • @Soni758 No, there's one in Hogsmeade too, you never see it in the films, but it's mentioned in the books.

  • The ride was ace ! There was Spiders, Dragon and those ghostly things I can't remember what they were called.

  • hehe I remember watching this before the park officially opened and being so excited about the ride :)

  • We all were certainly thrilled that the new HP7 movie had been already leaked. We each enjoyed the entire thing on watch harry potter. us (no spaces)

  • Most of us were absolutely stunned that HP7 Part 2 was already leaked. We all saw the entire thing via watchharrypotter.us

  • i love the castle

  • SOMEBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH NOT SPEAK PORTUGUESE?

    

  • they have those robo-coaster things at Epcot now as well. they are alot of fun :)

  • i thought it was a woman speaking the entire time...

  • must watch hilarious

    visit HNJ95

  • They don't have Diagon Alley? But...but...

  • i went there very nice.

  • ah i was just there i was amaaaazing!!! omg i looved it soo much! and the rip ride rock it is soo cool too! you go vertical on the way up, its so much fun. not only that but you have music to listen to while on the ride! :D

  • They need to build a South Park theme park

  • 4:27 thats at legoland

  • Does the Forbidden Journey ride actually flip you as much as the Strong Arm does? Because if it does, I don't think I will be able to go on it!

  • haha how can you say its an american film? everything about it is english and J.K rowling who wrote harry potter is english!

  • they should have built it in the uk i so wanna see

  • The StrongArm should be bigger and they ake it the Whomping WIllow

  • my god this is really cool

  • they should make a maze with traps and stuff like show kinda

  • Except that it is....just because an american film company is involved. It was made in british studios in britain with british actors as well as an irish. So therefore its a british film end of no arguing just stating facts

  • @kaykayx13x it's unfair for the British ppl to travel to America to go and see Harry potter. Understand America can build rides so can united kingdom i.e. Thorpe park, chessington. This is another way America can get in on Harry potter. They done it on the James bond movies and the doctor who episodes.

  • Harry potter is a British film as j k Rowling wanted it to be so why is the theme lark built over in America when it cN be built in the united kingdom. Everything us united kingdom do America has to get involved and take it over there. Its ridiculous. So what America has universal orlando. Harry potter is a British film end of convo.

  • @MrGcam16 yess harry potter is an english book, but the Americans can make MUCH better theme parks and rides so thats just too bad for the british. :'(

  • @MrGcam16 except for the fact that it's not. It's an American film made by an American film company.  It just has British actors

  • shit make it in universal studios Hollywood we need more rides over here!!!

  • My only pet peeve with this wizarding world is that Ollivanders is in Hogsmead.. IT'S IN DIAGON ALLEY IDIOTS!!!

  • @Soni758 just be thankfull they DID make it.

  • @Soni758 If you had actually done your research you would know that they decided the reason that there is an Ollivander's in Hogsmead is because it isn't supposed to be the same Ollivander's from the books; it's a second store opened in Hogsmead owned by Ollivander's grandson.

  • @Soni758 finaly some one else that noticed that u win a :)

  • @Soni758 I know! Out of all my HP obsessed friends I was the only one that noticed. XD 

  • @Soni758 Yeah it is, but since it's an important part of the harry potter movies they added it to hogsmeade. and i'm glad they did.

  • @Soni758 In the end it's all about making money.

  • @Soni758 They will build Diagon Alley and it will be ready for visitors in 2013

  • @Soni758 i no hahaha u shud complain to universal studios haha

  • @Soni758 Seriously? They wanted the store there and they weren't about to make Diagon Alley to have it. You honestly think they were stupid enough to make that as a complete mistake?

  • Comment removed

  • @Soni758 I wish I could thumbs up your comment more than once.

  • @Soni758 They didn't make it the same Ollivanders, but styled it as an 'outlet'. So having it in Hogsmeade is still feasible. (It's Hogsmeade not Hogsmead by the way. Just a little pet peeve.)

  • @Soni758 I think they addressed this by saying it is a 2nd store :)

  • I get to go to harry potter land next year in may. wooooooot.

  • I rode this ride it broke down on me!

  • if i die before i get to go here, i will be pissed!

  • ive been at harry potter ride

  • i have allready rode it and i can say that after riding it three times this ride wil be forever famous and a technological marvel SPOLIER ALERT!!!!!

    the ride is a four passenger arm that has partal scene props and parctial moving dome projectors like those seen in sorin (epcot/ disney) per ride vicicle END SPOLIER! the village is nice but crowded and photo oppurtunities are everywhere. if you like stuffed tows and owls, hogsmade is for you.

  • i think they should have made this in England as were Harry Potter was made and were most of its fans are

  • stupid universal changing dulling dragons to dragon challenge ... i like disney more :P

  • looks shit hot

  • i took the harry potter ride and itS FUCKING AMAZING!

  • i rided 8 times the revenge of mummy

  • why is it in fucking america when the cast is english

  • @MrSimsguy not everyone in the cast is english.... And who cares if its in America? Harry Potter has fans worldwide... so wherever they put it someone would be disappointed that its not closer to their home.

  • @cutiepiedev No there is some (but very few) cast members from European countries but that was only for the fourth movie. JK Rowling wanted all the cast to be British (not English) because it's set in Britain and the characters are mainly British. I don't think it should have been set in Britain though, the rain and snow we get here would make it realistic but it would of caused a hell load of problems.

  • i think they should make one exactly like this in az we have nothing here lol

  • Why are the wands so expensive! T.T

    Though at first they'd be like 10 dollars max... ( crys some more )

  • The ride is so much fun

  • i go every year to florida i love it and i am going to harry potter this year xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxx

  • the ride was awesome i got scared at one point but then i started thinking this isnt real

  • Nope.. It's the Forbidden Journey ride. Which was ..Awsome!!!!

  • they only built half of the castle

  • Robotic Arm = Whomping Willow? :)

  • @callmegoombah No. Its a broom.

  • @callmegoombah exactly what i thought that or quiditch like getting hit with a bludger or even when he was jinxed by "moody"

  • I WANT TO GO SO BADLY!!!!

  • what is the robotic arm?

  • This Is Actrully On A ROLLER COASTER Track At 5:01

  • do they use a standard kuka robocoaster for the park?

  • I think the army thing is the willow ^^

  • @HazaCHAOS inside of hogwarts?

    Personally i have more feeling of a troll in the girls bathroom ride

  • @HazaCHAOS Yep that's exactly what I was thinking and hopping they would make!

  • the robot arm is to beat people who steal from professor snape's office

  • the arm prob be for either womping willow or the trol in the fist movie?

  • @Puppylisious omg i didn't think about the trol! yeah could go either way

  • im scared of rollercoasters and things like that (including this) but i LOVE harry potter! ):

  • @stads24 , every may or June at MGM at Disney they have starwars weekends where all the characters go and sign autographs and stuff and really, it's not as popular as you would have hoped.

  • wow this was awkward.

  • R.I.P Harry potter movie in about 2 years :(

  • @ThrillSeekerGirl 1 year

  • it's annoying to have seen this being built, but not being able to actually see it.

    and also, it's ironic (i think that's the word) that it's in Florida, which is boiling, when it's set in Scotland/England, which are soooo freezing (except for now, where even my fan won't cool me down).

  • @KairiTardisAndMe yeah it's pretty weird to have chosen such a hot place for a wintery town lol, but i am so glad they put it in the states so i can go once i save up like an extra $500 just to spend on souvenirs lol

    SO GOTTA GET A ROBE! and BROOM AND WAND AHHHH!!! XD

  • @IndiaStarr ohhh they also sell quiddich gear :) so . . . save =D

  • @KairiTardisAndMe i know, I was really pissed off when I heard it was in Orlando, I mean It's a British Franchise and It's just been put in the place that has pretty much everything!

  • @KairiTardisAndMe Yeah being from england is a pain, but I could imagin if we had something like this built over here - we'd need a hell of a lot of security, cause the property would be damged in an instance. Some people in the UK don't respect work put into these things, and ruin it for others.

  • @Albertross21 Another issue in the UK for theme parks is the lack of flat land needed, That's why Disney decided to not build a theme park here.

  • @Albertross21 - exactly, the americans appreciate hard work - as i was at Harry Potter last month and it's amazing, plus it must have costs millions to make - i doubt anyone in this country would wish to spend that type of money - but had they done it- it would have paid off...

  • @KairiTardisAndMe Haha, it looks really strange because your walking through Hogsmede with the snow topped buildings..in the sweltering heat with the sun shining brightly. I wish it had been set in England cause then I could have visited it as much as I wanted but I think the rain puts people off, but I guess then it would have been realistic :)

  • @KairiTardisAndMe that's why we have central air conditioning. not fans.

  • Comment removed

  • @KairiTardisAndMe yes, well would you rather freeze your ass off in london or be able to be comfortable and ride the rides in warm weather? yes it does get REALLY hot in FL. I'm not one to pass out in heat or have it phase me much but the first time i ever went to FL I nearly passed out. but it's not boiling all the time. if you go in the winter like i did one xmas, it's GREAT weather!

  • @KairiTardisAndMe I've been to island of adventures every year since I was 8 and I'm now 18 and I've been there 11 times but I have yet to go into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter :c

  • @KairiTardisAndMe thats why i only go when its either raining or its coldish but it would be cool if they made a theme park like it in England :D

  • @KairiTardisAndMe Its actually not that cold here. The hottest it gets is in the 90's and it can get to the 40's durring the winter. :)

  • @KairiTardisAndMe well it rocks in orlando cause its like the best place ever!

  • @KairiTardisAndMe when i was there it was being built and then first day it openend i was going home gutted! but im going next year in may! i can't wait!

  • @bethanyw07 same they were building it when i was there last time but im off in july cant wait :)

  • doesn't legoland have that robot arm ride?

  • ive riden the ride and it was awsome they dont flip you upside down but you lay vertical and on your back it is also very fun to walk through the castle while waiting in the line for the ride! Also the line for butterbeer is about 90 minutes so bring some extra water #LOL

  • i am going on wednesday ,, anyone know where to begin? so muchh ppaarkk ha (:

  • it uses a robotic arm but its not this dramatic with the flipping.

  • The dragon challenge rocks!!! and they sell voldemort, harry, hermione, ron, dumbledore, mcgonnagal, and others wands' they also customize it by b-day

  • I've been on something like that robot arm at Futuroscope in France

  • The voice over is a man omg

  • @HazaCHAOS no but there is a part with the womping willow

  • damn i was there last week im from holland and i was 1 week to early damn but we have taking alot of pictures and i have seen alot between the fences there was alot of security and many people are getting sent away from the gates of harrypotterland they wanna get a good shot of the entrance we need to wait a few days now it will open on 18 june

  • Someone take me back to my childhood, this is amazing O_O

  • I live 30 minutes from the park. I can't wait!!!!!!

  • The cameraman tried to fake a 2-camera interview but failed. Other than the fact that the reporter is a bad actor, the real giveaway is at 0:40 where they flipped the shot causing the text on the board to read backwards. They forgot to shoot their 2nd guy on the opposite side of the frame.

  • Whomping willow ?

  • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

  • Ha! I rename the Robo Coaster the Vertigo Vomito Coaster!!!

  • I WANNA WORK FOR ITEC

  • I read that there's going to be some sort of ride and supposedly you're playing Quidditch along side holograms of Harry and Ron, then you crash into the Forbidden Forest and are attacked (or chased) by the spiders xD I think that might be the robot arm thing.

    I cant wait!! -squee-

  • @MrsCarlisleCullen364 i accidentally thumbs downed your comment

    it was accidental and i did not mean anything negative

  • @spyrothehuman no problem :)

    And I saw some videos. It's amazing. I can't wait to go!!!

  • they will probably use that robot arm tech for a whomping willow ride or something

  • I come on christmas 2010 there, yewww I want to try drinking butter beer

  • I'm so jealous of those ppl who will be able to go so often and so early...I'll be going a year after it opens...but I'm still SO Excited :D Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • sometimes im happy i live in Orlando! teehee! i already got my universal tickets!!

  • I really want to go here! my sisters a big fan... maybe i can convince her... or my parents

  • i absolutly agree... the castle looks amazing and realistic...

  • kinda reminds me of Samurai at Thorpe Park (UK)

  • Harry potter is so lame. Why isn't there a Star Trek/wars theme park? I would limage that being much more popular!

  • @stads24 Lol and what kind of world would a Star Trek/ Star Wars theme create? The Harry Potter theme park would immerse you into a totally different universe, whereas I can't see Star Trek/Wars doing the same.

  • @lollipopyumness it's an entirely different galaxy depending what way you look at it and there are more fans for that than for Potter. However, I suppose they want to appeal to young children whose parents will take vacations and spent boat-loads of cash. It'll hopefully be good for the economy at least.

  • @stads24 I doubt that they have MUCH more. Harry Potter has a huge fanbase and not just in size, but in age range. Harry Potter isn't just for 'young children'. I'm not saying that it isn't the case for Trek/Wars, but in my opinion there's lots more you can explore with in HP.

  • @lollipopyumness I suppose there is no way to know for sure, but Star Wars and Trek combined are the largest grossing franchise of all time both in movies and merchandise... even more so than HP. But I've never read them so I can't really say much. My sister likes the books, but hates the movies.

  • @stads24 Well the books aren't literary genius but they really are something special. Who knows..I wouldn't mind a Star Wars theme park ^.^

  • Too bad ! I'm french , damn T-T

  • @Niia27600 Good to know

  • i love the (still not discussing Harry Potter Project)

  • RUMOR: ride might be open today for testing! RUMOR

  • the reporters voice gets on my last fucking nerve omfg he sounds so gay

  • thats just like the chaos ride here at the adventuredome

  • there is a pre-opening memorial day weekend for people who bought this package deal a while ago..my friend and i got that and we're going for her 16th birthday! YAY!! i'm pumped!

  • 1:36 The Mummy-BEST RIDE EVER!!! along with the hulk

  • @lilbubbles99 nah

  • @kaparadude Now that you say that I agree, I thought it was an ogre's arm from the first movie.

  • i have my own annual pass :D

  • @HazaCHAOS I was thinking just that! It reminded me so much of HP3 when Harry and Hermione are thrust around by the Whomping Willow before entering the Shrieking Shack! :D

  • Lego Land has a robot arm ride

  • June 18th?!? thats a month before i turn 14! im so going there for my party...

  • Ok spoiler alert!

    It opens in June 18th

    The dueling dragons ride is now called dragon challenge. Still the same thing. You choose the Chinese Fireball or the Hungarian Horntail.

    The flying unicorn is changed to the flight of the hippogriff. Same thing basically.

    And there's a new attraction I think it's called and the forbidden journey ride.

  • @Beeblez55 so they really only added 1 new ride? thats a bit of a downer but hey its all harry potter themed.

  • im going this summer = )

  • that culd be the womping willow ride!!

  • I'm excited for the following:

    Wearing my $150 Gryiffindor Robe Replica and getting a wand at Ollivanders,

    Touring Hogwarts and riding The Forbidden Journey,

    Moving Portraits and Holographic Dumbledore, trio, Neville, Hagrid, and Ginny,

    BUTTERBEER

  • it will open june 18

  • ive been to hogwarts castle in the north of england
