May 2010 update - Wizarding World of Harry Potter construction - Universal theme park

A look at the progress of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure. This video was shot on May 6, 2010, just over a month from the grand opening on June 18.

First up is the view of Hogwart's Castle from the front of the theme park. Next is a look at the entrance to the Wizarding World, where a sign hangs that says "Please Respect the Spell Limits." You can also see into Hogsmeade Village. Next is the view of the back of the Three Broomsticks restaurant and the Flight of the Hippogriff coaster. Next we move to the queue line of Dueling Dragons to see more of Hogsmeade Village. Then we look at the backside of Hogsmead as the Dueling Dragon coaster zooms by and the entrance to Dragon Challenge. Dueling Dragons will become Dragon Challenge when the Wizarding World opens. The video ends with a look at the greenhouse, which will be part of the queue for the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.

@allbymysmelf This is to you and everyone who keeps asking about why its not in england. Centreal florida is a place tourists from all over the world come to see major theme parks. All of the hard work put into this particular theme park would make loads more of money in florida, than england.

@AttractionsMagazine Could you guys send me at least a link of the song or someplace that I can find it on YouTube.
