Harry potter and the forbidden journey
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey will be a “ 360-degree filmatic experience” with the biggest in special effects by which he means physical effects of all. Although the fan site heads had heard several times by this point that the ride experience was going to be “nothing like before” – we at this point asked for further clarification and got it. It’s a new story, a new adventure where the guests, as Muggles, are invited to witness the goings-on of Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they experience an adventure that takes them through many of the vast locations across Harry’s world. The Forbidden Journey ride is going to be an excursion into the world of Harry Potter – bringing with it “ all of the chaos of his world“. Woodbury then spoke at length about the Forbidden Journey itself, and here is what he had to say. Woodbury, the Wizarding World and its main attraction (Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey) is going to “ transform the theme park experience as you know it.” When it comes to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, he says, everyone involved has really taken it to the next level. and that’s just with their rides in general. They pioneer groundbreaking and before-nonexistent special and technical effects to an ever-expanding on-screen experience and utilize the absolute latest in ride technology, combined, to give park-goers a completely new experience…. Woodbury noted that when it comes to rides, Universal likes to do things that nobody’s ever done before. He took our questions and described very enthusiastically what the long-awaited ride would be like, as well as what the park experience was going to be. The fan-site heads met with Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative (and grand overseer of the project). The main purpose of our trip to Orlando was to receive a thorough run-through and definitive explanation regarding the park’s biggest attraction (and, up until now, its biggest mystery): Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I look very forward to learning what they plan to do and will be just as surprised as everyone else when that is revealed.
Speaking of the grand opening itself, details on activities and special events leading up to and/or surrounding that week are still in the works and will not be made official with the announcement from Universal later today. So there will be opportunities for guests to access the park prior to the grand opening week, particularly by way of purchasing this “early access” vacation package mentioned above. This means, technically, if you choose the package you will be among the first to visit and see the park.Īlso confirmed by a Universal representative, the notion of a “soft open” or a preliminary period of the park being open to the public before the grand opening of June 18th is sound, but no specific dates are known at this time. Those who opt to buy the vacation package and travel on May 28th will get what they’ve paid for. Two separate sources at Universal confirm that this vacation package, which is still available from Universal Orlando’s website and will continue to be available, is legitimate and will be honored. Interestingly, the Universal Orlando Resort has been offering vacation packages beginning May 28, 2010, that offer admission to the park and breakfast in the Three Broomsticks. This information was made available to fan sites first and will be announced at some point later today (March 25). It was confirmed to us that the grand opening for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios will take place on June 18, 2010. What we have witnessed has been awesome, and what can be said in all three reports will be very exciting to read, no doubt.įirst, the release date. The trip just took place, and we are going to be releasing details (in the form of reports) in cooperation with Universal’s wishes and often at the same time that those reports will be backed up by details directly from Universal. This report is the first of three chronicling a trip taken by representatives of top Harry Potter websites to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Universal Studios, Orlando, FL.
