subject: Another Reason to buy a Timeshare in Central Florida [print this page] Purchasing a timeshare in Orlando or any Central Florida destination has now become more attractive to Harry Potter fans thanks to Universal Islands of Advanture's new The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This new area in the famous Central Florida theme park gives fans and casual guests a whole new reason to return to the Orlando staple. With three new rides, two dining restaurants and several shops and attractions that are replicas or based on similar ideas found in the Harry Potter books and movies.
Dragon Challenge, formerly the Dueling Dragons ride is the only dueling inverted roller coaster in the world. Based off the first task of the Triwizard Tournament, this roller coaster gives guests a choice of which dragon to ride, both offering a twisting and turn adventure that is reminiscent of Quidditch. Also a rehashing of a previous ride, Flight of the Hippogriff is a milder ride that features Hagrid teaching younger wizards to fly on a Hippogriff. The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride allows guests to walk through the Hogwarts Castle and then ride a "magical bench".
Get your Quiddich supplies and other magical items at the new shop Dervish and Banges, based off a similar store in the novels. After you finish the The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride, you will exit to Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods, a gift shop with your typical Potter affair and photos of your goofiest face during the ride. One of the more inventive shops is Ollivander's wand shop. Based on the premise that the magic wand finds the wizard. Guests must wave several wands until nothing terrible happens. Only at that time can the guest purchase a magic wand.
All the rides and attractions may insight some hunger. The Three Broomsticks inn and pub features butter beer and pumpkin juice along with more typical muggle selections such as chicken, ribs, and fish and chips. For the over-age muggles, The Hog's Head offers alcoholic beverages including an attraction specific custom ale.
For previous Islands of Adventure guests, the rides are easily spotted as re-imaginings of previous rides. For the Harry Potter fan who has or has not been to the park previously will enjoy the inventive and imaginative world of wizards and magic that is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
