I'm really excited. I hope the other stuff about taking the train to IoA (Hogsmeade/Hogwarts). That would be absolutely awesome.

This just depresses me #brokepost

MERLIN'S BEARD!! :O

OH MY FUCKIN GOD!

What a great way to start a New Year!
I'm still surprised that they are building in Studios, though.

Epic and great.

Martin1 · January 2012

I think we all saw this coming

[Deleted User] · January 2012

This better be open when I go next year.

Sorry to disappoint you, Brian, but this expansion will take, at least, 2 years. I could say 3.

chester · January 2012

I canceled my trip to WWOHP for the expansion. Gonna wait till the expansion opens.

Jaws the Ride, which the plans indicated would be removed to accommodate the expansion, has just been closed:

That's been one of my favorite rides ever since April 2001 (my first visit to Disney World).

I hope it's getting replaced by something good.

That looks freaking amazing!! I really want to go now (not that I didn't wanted to go before haha)

awww jaws

Wolf_Potter · January 2012

I'm ok with Jaws to be removed.

I've been there 4 times, and
'Jaws' was getting bored, the
jaws were kind of false?
because it's an old attraction.
It had to be removed for the
sake of it.

Now, I have no idea about how are
they supposed to connect
both 'Universal Studios' (New Area)
and 'Island Of Adventure' (WWHP)
They NEED to be together or,
as I said, connected. It'd be cool
If they add Hogwarts Express or just
a freaking train LOL, and the whole
Wizarding World will totally rock!

Looking at that I still don't know
If they are going to connect both
areas. Who the hells know, but
I wish it happens!

XDMorsmordreXD · January 2012

I've been many times and it never got boring for me.
And I doubt they'll connect parks. Perhaps they'll close Lost Continent, nothing good there.

There are plans for 'Lost Continent'
to be removed, I read it somewhere,
I think it was in 'Attractions Magazine Blog'

That place is ridiculously boring.
Poseidon's Fury is semi-entertaining.

LOL yeah! 'Poseidon's Fury' is
the only good thing of the area.
It's a big attraction with amazing
special effects but still meh.
Hope they remove the whole
thing and add some Potter stuff

There is so much potential with Potter.
They'd obviously do more than just Gringotts...I hope.

Some rumors say that Poseidon's Fury is closing on February.

And Pako... You're right bud. They will have some hard work to connect both parks. Especially because the space between them is the backstage and the team member pathway. Everything related to the Team Members is over there. The wardrobe, the BackLot Cafeteria. I have no idea what they are gonna do to connect the lands. I just know that I miss walking on those pathways :')

Perhaps they modify the backstage
putting everything underground, like
Walt Disney World (all 'backstage'
is underground there). But just that area.
That's an option, If not, well
It's ok

It's an option, buddy!

But It can be really expensive. You know what I think they are going to do? I believe they will build in the middle of the backstage, but instead of windows the train would have screens simulating the landscape! It's an option and it can work great

RyGuy · January 2012

All I know is this...ever since the production art came out of the POA Boggart Jack in the Box in the Dervish & Banges shop I have wanted one...and now they are nowhere to be found

*sigh* I hope they roll some out this year ^_^

Hey Ry, have you tried contacting Customer Service at Universal? They could tell you if it's available or maybe how to get one, here's their number : 1-888-762-0820 - but they're only open Monday thru Friday until 5 pm.

I have

They say its not an actual item but could be in the future. It sucks but eh I have a japanese one that shall tide me over till one gets made ^_^

[Deleted User] · January 2012

Something really sad to see. Jaws was one of my favorite rides! The Team Members from over there were awesome. But I know it's for a good cause.

I've been following some talk in Orlando Forums and stuff, most of the users doubt of the authencity of the blue prints. They claim that, as there is no official release of pronunciation from Universal and the blueprints are still up that they might be fake. Let's wait and see

XDMorsmordreXD · January 2012

It's sad for me as well.
NO!

Mugglenet has posted a short video about the 'possible

' WW expansion. It's a quick fly over to see the progress.
