Harry Potter Theme Park

[BurmaaRunya]

I cannot believe the fact that HP7 Part 2 has already been put online so soon! A friend and I saw the movie on watchharrypotter. us....

[DeathlyDavid]

I hate it when interviewers try to act HP fanish yet they fall flat because you can tell they are not really fans 2:25

[Nicole3900]

I love Harry Potter. Luckily I live in Florida and Universal is very close.I actually went to Universal Islands of Adventure in April and I saw what it looked like (I saw the castle and the snowy roofs of Hogsmeade shops). The castle looked awesome!!! I can't wait to go, I've been waiting for this ever since I heard it was going to be built 4 years ago!!! :) I'm going next month in July. Can't wait!!!

[iGrandchamp]

I live in Tampa, Fl...going next week... :-)

[legocontrollerjr]

first thing i do when i go is drink some butter beer(if non alchoholic)

[JessieArvid93]

I live in Sweden, so it would be closer to have it in England of course, but I am just glad they did built this big park at all!! I am definitely going there when it opens!!! Anyone who knows when it opens and if it will be very expensive entry?(a)

Thanks!:D

[LuvYew219]

i have to go when it opens! i will fly there! i live in indiana. i loooove harry potter!

[c00l6uy]

lolz!!! i live like 15 min. from this place!!!!! lolz!!!! im goin here for my gradventure!!!!

[ForeignBelle14]

It shouldn't be in England, it should be in Scotland if your going to try and be specific. That's where Hogwarts is (I know it's fictional :/) and that's where J.K. lives. Anyways I'll be going two days in a row in July (well to Islands of Adventure). I can't wait!! :D

[poiZnndSkY14]

WOW!:))

[sunnycheer13]

lmao i would love it to be in england but i live like ten mins away sooo im good with that

[jonasbrotherssox]

i cant go i live in england but at least i can vist the actual set :/

[chadvonswan]

that was a dumbass wand she had

[mhpuppylover78]

I love Harry potter and I'm gonna go. I agree with evreyone who says it shoul be in England but hey it's closer to me!

[tweeked8]

The Simpsons ride in California sucked so bad. I can't believe they took down Back to the Future for it! It was way better and more realistic. >_> And yes, I know, what does this have to do with Harry Potter? Nothing.. Absolutely nothing.. But I do love Harry Potter, the books not the guy. Though Daniel is kinda cute.. ehh. >:O

[leogeckos]

aah i wanna go so bad! but i live all te wa acrss florida :(

[numbersmile]

when this thing opens me and my friends are going to dress up as harry and his friends and run around chased by our friend snape! yelling I'll get you potter

[XxkiddydagonxX]

@numbersmile I wish I had friends like yours. Non eof my friends are a HP fan *sob*

[mgabygil]

its going to be 30 minutes away from me! YES!!!!

[Nakaiyotanka369]

It was on G4TV

[MelissaAnnLegard1989]

I'm def gonna be going! I've been to Florida once to Disney World but maybe 2 years from now I'll go to the Harry Potter theme park. From where I live I need a lot of planning before going!

[HarryPotterWizardFan]

Why cant they build a Harry Potter theme park over here in England, here are some reasons why they should build it over here:

1. It would allow more people to get jobs

2. British children could enjoy it

3. We dont have any major theme parks over in England

They should have this in different places around the world, after all it is a british book and author and actors etc

[bananasmothie33]

ugh I agree, but us greedy americans need everything

[Tessathedog]

I thought the same! I'm from germany and for me it's easier to go to England, than to Florida. Why Florida ? The whole Series takes place in England, almost the whole movier were shoot there. I can just repeat: Why Florida ? They have so many theme parks!

[Spac3man88]

thats the reasons why! they are not gonna spend more money building a new whole theme park it would take years of construction but here in florida they are done and they are just making a space for Harry. And everyone knows that harry is a UK Novel so the writer but Florida is already a great tourism point and they know pple from around the globe comes here not matter what so thats why they builded harry potter in Florida.

[Spac3man88]

Thats the reason theres not Major theme parks and thats why they are building HP in Florida, building it in Florida is taking a little more than a year and opens in at least 4 months, building it in UK it would b take dont know 3 years? maybe less but the fact is that harry is 2 years about end filming! and right now is a great movie that people is talking about after harry ends it wouldnt be the same succes besides is not like a regular theme park is just a new atrat in already knew theme park

[xmelodyMassacrex]

I'm going.

[KenJones1990]

Its not a Theme Park!!! it is only a section of a theme park themed to Harry Potter

[iLoveDisneyFlorida]

It's actaully stated a Theme park within a Theme park.

[serifinapekkala]

'appalling tv' at 0:07 seconds-some kind of joke/subliminal messaging?

[sheba24680]

it's going to feel so cool walking into the theme park with that wizard music in the background

[Stew501187]

that reported is pretty hot.

[kokoroyer]

I wanna go to the gryffindor bedrooms! Not to sleep just to see how it would be the way to ther mostly.

[ajaandkimmy]

Wizards don't have hats. Except the Sorting hat, and she wouldn't be wearing that daily anyway

[169193]

omg i live sooo far away!! but ill be seventeen next summer so i can go with my friends!!! =]

[Crazyjedi1919]

lol it's supposed to be huge lol like its on section

[pinkandnutty]

when is it opening?!

[benben423]

summer 2010

and its only going to be a section not a whole new park, like the jurassic park section

i was at universal two days ago and they were working on it

[pinkandnutty]

a section? i was thinking like Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom in Disney World?

[iCarlyxxFan11]

I live a couple of hours away! And i'm soooooooo going! :] Is it still opening in 2010?

[italiagrl02]

Yep, it's going to be in Islands of Adventure. I went there last summer and i saw under construction signs for harry potter land or whatever there calling it. And i only live 2 hours away!!!!!!!!!

[TGChinappi]

is this at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure?

[jd305mia]

Whoo !

i live three hours away !

[doggant27]

Woot! I Live an hour away from it :D

[torreshome]

lucjy

[TheC0nverseDolls]

ok i think the theme park should b in Britain but anyway its hell far 4 me cuz i live in australia!!

[depreilord]

Why is this in America?

I don't care if they have more money, they should strive for authenticity, and this just doesn't fit in in the USA.

[sweetheart2109]

what did J.K. Rowling say about being in Orlando. according to the video she working with Orlando. Harry Potter Rocks

[depreilord]

Yes, it does "Rock". Read the comment again and gather my point before trying to start a debate.

[SylletBang]

dont worry,if it will be a succes wich it prob will, it will become worldwide ..i hope

[nicktk1]

how bout we do both?

[greendaysaint8302]

im flyin to florida when it opens

[sweetheart2109]

So am I

[tejojo]

Saw the sixth film on opening day; the theater wasn't sold out and tickets were only $5 for a matinee!

[starralchemist9090]

I live 8 hours away, and when I'm 18 I will DRIVE down there and spend weeks in that place! I'm glad its in the US (Because of me and my selfishness) but they really should build one in the UK too.

[Naruto2288]

I live in florida so i have know problem its just a 3 hour ride for me but they should have it in europe and more states around the u.s tough it wont be fair for other ppl

[Goldminerable]

URGHHH THEIR TEARING DOWN THE DUELING DRAGONS......FOR THIS SHIT??? ITS A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT AND MAGIC N STUFF. NOTHING COMPARES TO THE DUELING DRAGONS!!!!!! the first dueling roller coaster ever. :[

[Fitzymedia]

there retheming dueling dragons

[orifiel17]

It's so far away from Europe... :-(((

[kawaiiaix]

looks so fun..Ravenclaw! lol..Thank you ^_^

[RIPdobby]

i hope we can put the sorting hat on and get sorted into our houses.

[McflyLover930]

Why is it in Orlando?!

I'm sorry but it's a brittish book and yet the theme park is in Orlando!!!!!

WTF?!

Wish I Could go tho...

[reznor97]

im american and im upset about it being in orlando.. there takiing away some really good rides

[starralchemist9090]

who cares if they are taking away rides!? Harry Potter pwns the world!

[austinknight13]

theres one in holywood to

[McflyLover930]

That sucks as I live in the UK

[jennys124]

I AGREE! It should be in England! Why did they do this?!?! I live in Finland and theme park is just tooo far :(

[McflyLover930]

I Know :(

My sister and I got really angry and annoyed when we heard it was going to be in Orlando.

Its a bloody brittish book!!!!

[vigorlilover]

Well the states have more money. That's why. I can't wait, I'm so going. And the book may be British but it's written for everyone, if it wasn't it would have stopped in England.

[DeathlyDavid]

@McflyLover930 no matter how much HP fans can say americans are stupid and such etc.. There are more HP fans in America than alot of other countries.

[McflyLover930]

@DeathlyDavid I'm not saying Americans are stupid because they're not, I'm just saying they should have it in Britain, and I don't think it matters how many HP fans there are in America, it's a brittish book, british author and also it's set in Britain. Americans don't need more tourists. (I don't mean to disrespect America or anything, I'm just saying.)

And I get it, it's a big place, but they'll still be room in Britain.

[iheartwicked91]

@McflyLover930  yes but HP is known world wide. its a wonderful park and i need to go back!

[McflyLover930]

@iheartwicked91 I know, but it'd be SO much easier if it was in the UK. But, I think I'm going with my best friend this year. I'm so excited. I'm guessing you've been. What's it like?

[iheartwicked91]

@McflyLover930 its simply amazing, u'll love it!

[McflyLover930]

@iheartwicked91 OMGOMGOMGOMG!

Can you go inside the castle? If you can, what's it like?

And did youget a wand?? :D

[iheartwicked91]

@McflyLover930 you then enter the ride in the room of requirment where hermione told you to meet her. and yes i got a wand! i didnt need one cuz i already have some but i wanted another hahaha also got some new gryffindor robes,a crookshanks plush, butter beer, and some candy at honey dukes!

[McflyLover930]

@iheartwicked91 OMFG!

That sounds amazing!

For some reason I thought Hogwarts would be like the hotel thing. That'd be cool!

[iheartwicked91]

@McflyLover930 hahaha yes you can go into Hogwarts! (it's actually the line to "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey") its AMAZING yes it a line, but you walk through hogwarts so its worth it! you enter thru the dungeons, then herbology, then the entance hall, then the grand staircase with the talk portraits, dumbledores office (with dumbledore there) then the DADA class room (with the trio there) then the gryffindor common room, then u meet the sorting hat up on a ledge then you enter...

[cardboardboxesftw]

I WISH I could go! so so bad.

[sweetheart2109]

I am really wondering if they are to do a sorting at the hogwarts and have oilliveder's want shop there. That would be awesome

[Randomstudios101]

they are having the wand shop and are thinking about making "personal wands" that "choose you!" =]

[RobinGoose1]

Im going there on my honeymoon<3

[carsonmaier14]

how romantic

[RobinGoose1]

haha yeah, i live in florida now but when we get marrired she wants to move out of state, but we already planed on coming back for our honeymoon, and this is where well be spendin it.

[ComfortCat]

We! :]

[IxAmxSpartacus]

that's so awesome

[ComfortCat]

It was his idea :3

[NosylaTabbith]

xD I live in orlando, I'm so working there!

[m4rt3x88]

she said summer 2009? i knew that is going to open in 2010?

[goodgal16]

same

[bloodyxpirates75]

I'm saving up now! :D

[harrypotter7738]

My father is working on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and i have got to say that it is going to be AMAZING!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!! :D :D :D

[tomcatf145]

dude thats awesome!

[xxDramaxxQueenxx42]

waiting oh so patiently for park to open....

[chocoegglet]

she's hot with them glasses ;) haha

[BLUeCLimbers]

she is fuckign sexy with them glasses :]

[superrainbowmew]

when i go im blowing all my money

[abigailg31]

Oh my God, I can´t wait, if only I could work there!

[tamainemiller]

i cant wait to it open so i can get a job!!!

i live in orlando and i can see it ever day i go by there!!!! it looks big!!!!

[WeaslysWizardWeezes]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

i can't wait till it opens

but im going to disney and MgM in april so i dont get to go

[sweetheart2109]

I thought of something that would be cool. I wonder if they are going to open up the theme on the same day as Deathly Hallows part 1 opens up. How would it be if Warners Brothers and Universal studios set a area at the park to watch the Deathly Hallows part one

[feebo282]

what date does this open in 2009?

[Kellyy013]

it'll open in 2010

[Basketbuddy101]

It won't matter what they do. Disney will always be the worldwide leader in theme park industry. Universal Studios does have its share of quality attractions and effects, they just can't top Disney. But don't get me wrong, I love the idea for this entire experience. As a reader of the series, I can honsetly say that I'm looking forward to the completion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

[kbutterfly830]

i live like 30 min. away from orlando, and magic kingdom is NOTHING compared to islands of adventure. Disney is only so popular because thats wat the adults grew up on. Disney is nothing but rides where you sit in a lil car and go through the world of some disney character. it has one thrilling ride. Islands of Adventure has something for the whole family and it is actually ranked higher than Magic Kindom.

[JorgeDX3]

when it opens, i plan on going there and spending no less than 250 dollars on stuff

[simuniv]

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

[sweetheart2109]

wait I heard is it not going to be open until 2010. Is it 2009 or 2010

[luvharrypotterlots]

2010 is what I heard.

[CourtneyyReneeX3]

okay im really bummed about this cause there gunna take out the lost continet wtf thats got one of there best rides in it the first coaster with to tracks and there gunna tear it down wtf!?

[cgalban]

there not gonna tear it down, there just gonna change the subject, Dueling dragons will be themed according to harry potter (I guess theyll use the hipogriffs or something).. the only thing thats going down is the fliying unicorn thing

[Xellios1]

I wonder how disney would have constructed potter land with all the extra space they have. universal is quite cramped.

[tinki3o5]

first of all harry potter isnt really for kids under 5 which go to disney, and universal studios is the owner of all the harry potter movies.

[sweetheart2109]

The owner of the Harry Potter movies are Warner Brothers not universal. Universal has the theme park but Warner Brothers is owner of the movies

[LiKexWhOax3]

omg im so excited!! XD

i live in southern CA, and my parents said that they would let me go, which is awesome!!

=D

[Sharonxxx56]

it looks rubbish anyway so i dont care if its in america.

[daniparty107]

its going to be cool but its taking place of dueling dragons

[BandanaRepublic]

WHAT!!!! this does look incredible, but they can't take down dueling dragons. Where did you see that?

[daniparty107]

on the news they had this story on it

[BellhopOwen]

It's not taking the place of Dueling Dragons at all, Universal won't spend tens of millions on two Bolliger and Mallibard coasters just to tear them down 9 years later.

[daniparty107]

i'm just saying what the news said so sorry

[kbutterfly830]

actually, they are refurbishing dueling Dragons to be Harry potter themed, and im sure it will have a new name so it is taking the place of Dueling Dragons. But dueling dragons already has a Harry potter atmosphere so it probly wont have too many changes.

[N2Y3724]

dude i wonder why fox news reporters won't grow up just listhen to the chick on 2:20

[theslayer22]

its supposed 2 be 20 acres from what i heard

[N2Y3724]

Damn why does the park have to be open next year i fuckin hate something waiting for next year

[Funkymunkee37]

why don't you try putting together an amusement park and see how long it takes you.

[disneydudette96]

why is it in Florida?! its british so it should be in britan!

but anyhoo I don't really care about that right now I'm just so syked that its coming!! xx :)

[Jonibett]

Why are they Fucking making it in America For Fucks Sake! It's an English Movie, based on an English Book. From an English Author.. Stupid fat ass americans take evrything.. They shouldnt have the right to build that over there. I should have been built in England. Would have made it way more orthentic.. I fucking hate Americans!

[michaeldh0]

i agree 100% !

[POTC03]

its also built by the set designer for the hp movies and wofl is kinda like rofl lol

[Musicaddict1993]

Well..They did have permission from J.K Rowling so shut up.

[IanTheMagician]

Where will harry park his broom? Is that code :p

[bemoua]

omfg . thats fucking awesome .

im there . for sure ;]

[N2Y3724]

Hey lady the simpsons ride is comming this spring not summer

[elise988]

OOh i'm soo looking forward to it:D:D it's gonbe be my new home;P

[BulletShootingGuys]

Disney trying to get Harry Potter? Why doesn't Six Flags just make one? Ah, whatever! They'd probably just make crappy roller coasters like they always do.

[rct3awsomely]

AMAZING

[Benjoingo]

HOLY CRAP THIS IS GOING TO BE BIG!

[drbobiwsky]

OH that is so kewllll rosey! Are you going to go to it?

[roseypikapika]

Heck yeah. I'll be first-ish in line.
