Oh man, thank God I only live an hour away from Orlando. This is gonna be brilliant! People that work there should be required to take British accent speaking courses, to maintain the illusion. ;D
The concept art is really cool too.

I had put it in the book thread earlier this morning, but I'm sure either is fine, since lots of people will see it in the Movies forum while looking up the OotP movie. Link |

I think this belongs in the OGB.
Sounds stupid imo.

No offence, but what does this have to do with movies? It's a theme park! Plus why didn't they open a theme park in the UK already?!

^ I know ~ not like Florida has anything like Scottish weather, ever. Oh well, it's all about the money. Still, I'm excited about it, and I'm going to go. ;D

I think it's about 3 years took late. within the next 3 years all the hype around HP will die down and this theme will go with it since 3 years is not long enough to recoupe all that investment capital.

I'll still try to go there. The movies will still be coming out for a while and the books are something that will continue to be read for a while so I don't think that it's a mistake that they are doing this.

The problem is its not like Disney. Disney is a huge comany, they are still making movies, and have been making movies for nearly a century. Harry Potter's been around since the latter half of the 90s and is almost over as well.
I sense failure.

The movies will still be coming out for a while and the books are something that will continue to be read for a while so I don't think that it's a mistake that they are doing this. I agree ~ I don't think it's a mistake at all (except for the ridiculously hot weather). It'll continue to make them more money from the books and the movies, as well, not to mention overseas tourism. Plus, the design team is headed by the Oscar-winning set designer for the original movie. ;D I'm looking forward to walking through a snow-covered Hogsmeade, seeing Honeydukes. . . and you *know* people will line up to ride in a Ford Anglia over the forest and the school.

they're definitely going to make a lot of money. even for years after the sieres ends, cuz all the little kids that read them years from now are going to want to go to the park.
