subject: Wizarding World Of Harry Potter New Ride Details [print this page] The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is bound to be a hit this summer at Universals Islands of Adventure. There are two entrances into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, each one connected to a different land (this is true for the entire park, though- it goes in a circle). The area is full of small details that visitors will be able to spot as being from the books and movies. The Three Broomsticks and the attached Hogs Head will sell Butterbeer in two forms- frozen and liquid- and pumpkin juice especially made for Universal. Pumpkin juice can be bought at Honeydukes to take home.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potters lead attraction, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, will have a long and detailed queue to entertain guests before they get to the actual ride. With long wait times projected, guests will have plenty to see on their way to the attraction. Guests enter through the dungeon, where sounds from the first Harry Potter movie can be heard coming out of the potions classroom and from the Mirror of Erised. Guests can also see the dungeon tunnels where Harry hid from the Basilisk in the first movie. Then visitors will wind out through the Hogwarts garden, with creepy, meat-loving plants. After that, the queue enters the Hogwarts hallways. There are talking portraits, Dumbledores office, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and the Gryffindor common room.
The ride is said to feature amazing projection technology so that the characters and scenes will all jump out realistically. Im definitely excited for the opening!
