The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Construction Update 08132009

[xxxSkaterxScenexxx]

why is there only music?! and no video?!

[missdaniih]

AWESOME!!! looks amazing, i want to go so bad! i think im going to have to wait for LeakyCon 2011 tho

[rasmet0193]

tbh i'm not asa amazed as i thought i would be, theres what 2 new rides, and one being just a new experience, it looks good, but its just the old rides rethemed

[moto1666]

@rasmet0193

They will first see how much money will be made, Then give it 2011, There will be a new ride

[owenbevo]

it would have been better to build it as a standalone park in the uk with the actual train journey to hogwarts and have the village of hogmeade built properly in the uk so it would be more realistic to have british people playing the parts in the theme park

[dyates63]

I believe that only Brits will be working the Island

[IBeeJaxs]

@owenbevo ha, i believe it shud be built in florida, so i can go to orlando every year and go ride it. ;) no offence.

[IBeeJaxs]

@owenbevo althought i do like the idea of making it seems realistic with the train ride, and the village. Still, i think its cooler in orlando, Fl.

[Lainkweesha]

oh and also you WERE talking about how it looked, re-read your comment:

"am i the only Harry Potter fan who thinks this park "LOOKS" SHIT!!!!"

notice i capitalized "looks", so arent YOU retarded?

[Lainkweesha]

WOW you make NO sense what-so-ever. By the way, NO ONE KNOWS the correct things that are gonna be in the park. There are DEFINITLY gonna be more than just 3 shops. I work at the Islands Of Adventure as one of ride operators and being promoted to a higher position SO I WOULD KNOW, i have seen more of the park than you. Also there is gonna be a forbidden forest which is gonna be like a haunted maze type area, BUT NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE so quit trying to make me look stupid when YOU are...

[eveiveneg21]

i am dying to go next spring. i am a huge, and i mean huge fan of harry potter. and i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooo want to go. it looks like to be an awesome theme park.

[Lainkweesha]

sorry, but are you retarded? its not like they can make a perfect replica and make it the way YOU want it.

Why do think it sucks?

[cedarpark2009]

hey! i'm from texas and i dont have a problem with gay people.

[arilalala58]

guys, harry potter doesn't like fighting and he'd be very disappointed in you right now.

dumbledore is gay and he's a genius so don't judge people on their preferences.

and even voldemort had prejudices for a reason, he wasn't just born that way.

so you guys should stop arguing, it isn't very fricking magical.

[shroomish8363]

Wow for a guy that has so much disdain for what's shown in this video (jaco4c), he sure comes back to comment a lot. Maybe he's secretly a Harry Potter fan.

[jaco4c]

thanks

but all y'all kept tellin me they were good books

but i didnt find much interest in the storyline

[dankedlinds]

im not gonna go until like 2011 or 2012 so its not so crowded but I'm sooo excited!

[adamxbeck]

It looks like they still have a lot of work to do...I remember this was supposed to be done in November and then they upped it to TBA 2010. Universal seems to always have a problem with construction deadlines. Like the Rip Ride Rockit was supposed to be completed in February 2009 and yet it just recently opened. I am looking forward to this once it's opened though. It's going to be awesome.

[KatxSnape]

Wow, they're getting done with this faster than I thought they would. Granted, much of the construction in done in that white building separate from the in-park construction. Just to keep things secret.

I'm going next summer with my best friend and our boyfriends. We've been planning this trip since the announcement of the park.

[eN43TH]

Where is this?

[dyates63]

It is in the Islands of Adventure Theme Park at the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando Florida.

[arilalala58]

im soo excited!!! i wanna try real butterbeer

[shroomish8363]

Pumpkin juice!!!

[beatrixsnapefan]

OMG that is SO cool!

So. COOL.

I. WANT. TO. GOOOO NOOOW

[omniscient01200]

How did you get the footage?! Well besides filming it..eh you know what I mean.. cutos for the very snape like comments!

You do realize that the person whose annoying you is probably some middle school brat with nothing better to do? His mommy probably called him down for dinner so he couldnt play any more. Either that or some macho man in denile about the fact that Im with his wife right now and there's nothing he can do about it.

[shroomish8363]

To jaco4c---my comment was for you.

[tflvr0491]

I am excited for this attraction to open, I actually hope to be there just when it opens, it looks to be a fun and enjoyable ^^.

[hypnosisracing]

What a sad life it must be to make fun of things like this that make other people excited and happy...lol. Must be an incredibly boring and drab life...

Anyways, looks awesome, my nephews and niece are bugging me every month about this and honestly, im pretty excited about it as well! Cant wait to go!

[jaco4c]

im a faggot

sure

im not the one excited about a fuckin wizard park

get a fuckin life

end of story dip shit

[dyates63]

I have a pretty fun life, thank you very much. I am a reporter/ photographer focusing on the new stuff happpening around the Orlando theme parks.

And I didn't imply anyone was a faggot. But if you had an intellectual depth deeper than a kiddie pool you would know that.

Now PLEASE, dazzle us some more with your rapier wit.

[mermaid2water]

shut the heck up jerk

[jaco4c]

wow

i love how everyone spams my comments like that so god damn effective now isnt it??

[dyates63]

Apparently some just don't appreciate such intellectual observations.

[jaco4c]

im pretty sure that was sacasm

or r u another anti faggot person?

[dyates63]

So what exactly is your problem with gays?

[jaco4c]

everything

man i live in texas

no one likes gays here

[dyates63]

Sort of like Iran. No gays there either.

[jaco4c]

good

just the way it should be

[mumupy]

so u dont like gays bc u live in texas and u want to "fit in" fucking unbelieveable

[jaco4c]

was that sarcasm

or r u a person that hates faggets and harry potter like me?

[dyates63]

I don't hate on anyone. I simply find your observations and clever wordcraft intriguing.

By any chance do you live near high voltage power lines or a toxic waste dump?

[jaco4c]

hahaha

thats a good one

no really ur fuckin hilarious

oh my god

wat were u implieing? ur gonna kill me?

no really good one man

just hilarious

fuckin dumbass

[dyates63]

Lovely, more insightful blather from an obvious intellectual giant.

[jaco4c]

wow

more sarcasm from a high and mighty asshole

[dyates63]

Maybe. But you come in here with your 5th grade vocabulary, calling people names and you believe me to be the asshole?

And before you can form a valid opinion of the book series you should have your Mom read them to you.

[jaco4c]

i hav read them

hell i read all 7 cause ppl kept tellin me they were good

but still hate them

[PolesitterPictures]

I'm just finding it terribly funny that you have to ask if what he's saying is sarcastic. No duh, Sherlock.

[dyates63]

Hey, some people don't have the capaciity to process as well as others. Give the guy a break. At least he is engaging and not hiding. There is hope.

[shroomish8363]

WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE WHO VIEW VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND MAKE NASTY, NEGATIVE COMMENTS? IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN THE WIZARDING WORLD THAT'S BEING SHOWN IN THE VIDEO, WHY DID YOU EVEN WATCH IT? Millions of people ARE excited about it and will visit when it opens. How about this: why don't YOU get a life and keep your ugly comments to yourself? Have a nice day.

[mermaid2water]

seriously shut up!

[jaco4c]

y did u say it twice?

and seriously

after wat everyone has aid

u think im actually gonna shut up cause of wat some dipshit meremaid girl tells me to?

hahah

yeah right

if i think somethings stupid im gonna tell u then defend my cause

[redreh]

How on earth is this thing going to be finished in January?

Although, I was there just two months ago, and 90% of what I saw on this video wasn't there. Still, shocking how much they have left to do!

SO. DAMN. EXCITED.

[dyates63]

My, what an extraordinary wit.  Your mother must be oh so proud.

[dyates63]

I should clear up a few misconceptions. First, TWWOHP isn't going to be a theme park. Olny one land in a existing park called Islands of Adventure. Islands of Adventure is one of the 2 theme parks that make up The Universal Orlando Resort.

Hogsmeade is rumored to open in Dec. of this year. And the major ride in the Hogwarts Castle should open by June 30th, 2010.

[ChocoPanda25]

OMFG YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stg6rambobond]

cool

hp rules

[crazyALICEGINNY]

why is it so square-looking on one side? looks like an office building

[clevm002]

because most rides are in square buildings... they just have theming built around them to make them look bigger. I mean cinderella castel in disney is nothing but about 3 square rooms and lots of theming built around it!

[iwannadance08]

OMG! :) i am soooo exited for this! its going to be amazing. i can not wait!

it will be so cool, after reading the books a billion times and watching all of the movies and now i finally get to explore the world they live in!!!! *jumps for joy* its gonna be AWESOME.

[MistressBellatrix]

I really hope they build the ministry of Magic. That would be fucking badass.

[kelsyqwerty]

so fricken excited!!!:)

[lilpinky0880]

someone want to open one of these in chicago? please? or around there? i'll give you all my savings from me goign there liek200000 times a summer!!!

[flutetastic]

It would be a bit more natural in Chicago, that's for sure.. I'm having trouble imagining Hogwarts and all of that surrounded by Florida and palm trees lol.

[LatasianDevil]

With the work of major companies.

It doesn't have to be surrounded by palm trees.

I mean look at WDW, there's no palm trees in certain areas so that it doesnt ruin the look

[Loony1393]

I absolutely can not wait until LeakyCon 2011. The conference, the last movie, and this amazing theme park!

[ilirjannah]

I love it I LOVE HARRY POTTER world and especially the music

[danradcliffeissexy]

I'm so freakin excited!!

(:

[CasualtiesofArt]

Hopefully, once its finished it ends up looking a lot more exciting than it does right now. =\

[melyfarrajota1]

when will it be finished?

[bhkmax]

end 2010

[dhernan19]

yeah only the castle will open end of next year but the entire thing rides, stores, and restaurants wont open till 2011 i heard it from the WWOHP site

[falcorion5000]

Where did you read this? No where on the official site nor sites like Veritaserum or MuggleNet does it say that the release date of 2010 will only have the Hogwarts Caste completed.

[dhernan19]

now that I remember I co-mod a harry potter group on myspace one of the members there had said this when the announcement was out but now it could have been a rumor my bad

[dmbly93]

cool.this vid is really good quality.where will the park be at?

[granpotter]

i cant wait

does anybody knows when will it be its opening day???

[hottflame4]

where is it going to be at ?

[R0WH03]

I really can't wait! It'll be open in time for my graduation vacation! ^_^

[RonWeasleyLover15]

OMG i can't wait! tho it will never compare to pigfarts...

[MaryAnimated]

Haha you're probably right ;D

[hprocks11]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're awesome.

[smallvillefan57]

I'm SO SO SO SO excited!!!!!!!Personally i could care less about where it is. I'm just glad it is happening.

[lunatunarox]

when the themepark's done I'm going to Hogwarts.

[gucci89]

excited! Damn I would love to work there. Too bad I live in Canada.. ahh can't wait until it opens!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lunatunarox]

I can tell someone with your sence of advanced vocabulary is extremely bright. Thank you for your insight.

[hprebel311]

ahhhhh looks so great.

[nerdlook]

when i asked my mom why it was in the states and not in the uk she said it was most likely because of better weather in the us.

[ActingDude17]

It's probably because Orlando is the theme park capital of the World.

[Broomsticgirl]

its being placed in the U.S because there are more fans there. an example of that would be 2 million copies of DH being sold in the U.K and 8 million in the U.S. its opening in "late 2010", as said on the park's website and the proclamation boards in the park.

[nathalie200]

=/ i live in ca but im SO going to find my way there

[Wackafrass786]

Totally

[xMusicifyTheWorldx]

sooooo excited.

i've never been more thankful that i live only 2 hours away from Orlando.

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

well im way more thankful

i live about 15 min away from universal itself.

>:p

but harry P.

Seems cool and all..

but i REALLY dont want any changes to dueling dragons

:(

[camake37]

words can't describe how excited i am for this theme park!!!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!! is there an official opening date set yet??? if you know please reply!!!

[jwbstudios]

I think it is next year or 2011...It will prob open in the summer for the vacation corwd. more money. lol. I so want to go. Hope I can! lol.

[PatrickArgentina]

It looks like its gonna be awesome

[growl1]

why cant it be in scotland it would be so much nicer(and closer)

[NarnianKnight92]

Exactly, espeically near edinburgh (where the first harry potter book was finished) Scotland has such a pefect landscape and beauty for something like this... its ashame it is going to be American-ized like everything these days ... :(

Still looks great though :)

[kwillmore]

maybe you people should have had some ambition and done it first then. It's not America's fault that America is awsome.

[grapesofwraith1066]

Wouldn't it be great if there were some new university that was built in the UK that was modeled on Hogwarts?

[VLAD1429]

i'd apply. :)

[smallvillefan57]

i'd love it!

[MrSpartacus09]

ohh It looks great! I can't wait for it to open! I have to fly 3000 mile xD But i would do it!

[xx0zero0xx]

ah, i love living in Florida...

[rory1494]

Thank god i have drill team nationals in orlando!!! and they will take us to universal studios!! so ill go to the wizarding world of harry potter 4free!!! i cant wait!!!

[Zombieburger]

Thank God for YouTube! I don't want to wait til 2010 to see this.

[TodoHarryPotter]

I WANT TO GO!!!!

But i live in spain and cost much go to there.

v.v

[RoniEmmasFan]

it looks amazing!!! I want to be there so baddddddddddd :P

[randames]

ahhhhh I need to go there it looks so awesome and so cool!!!!!!!!

[noreendoreen1]

:O OMG sooo want to go!!!!!

why cant it be in england :'( in fact it should be in scotland where Hogwarts is meant to be :|

But OMG sooo great will have to go to Florida :D

[fctiger74]

Simply because the U.K. doesnt have any theme park infrastruture to build something of this magnitude. Yes, it will be more fitting there, but what other company could even build something like that outside the major Hollywood studios/theme parks?

[Jessielou1848]

JJDGHSKJGJS SO EXCITED

[crossbones64]

im not a harry potter fan.. but this is a pretty cool idea. cant wait til hogwarts castle is done and what the new color scheme for duelig dragons will be.

[rodneyz1]

OMG you have to read the books, then you will be even more excited because of this video
