Harry Potter

The world of Harry Potter moves to sunny Florida?

The title is correct and as of spring 2010 Harry Potter’s home will be in the theme park Islands of Adventure in Florida. The park is not basing the land on any of the books or films in particular but as a collection of all of those as a franchise. They are working very closely indeed with WB with bringing the imagination of J.K Rowling to life. Having just returned from Florida, at the moment all that can be seen is Hogwarts Castle being built along with a Ministry Of Magic Decree saying no one is allowed near that part of the park.

Two of the current rides are going to be closed for a short while as they are being shifted into Harry Potter ones. The family favourite The Flying Unicorn will be turned into Flight of the Hippogriff and the dual-track Duelling Dragons coaster is set to be turned into Dragon Challenge which all sounds very "I cant be bothered". The latter of the two is still open so perhaps not much is being done with this one.

Nobody knows the secrets of the final ride set to be put into the land. The only thing that Universal have announced is that it will be called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and have stated it will be “state of the art” as well as “mind blowing”. Considering the recent Spiderman, Mummy and Rip-Ride-Rock it rides that they have put into place they could be telling the truth.

Dining experience will include the Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head and Honeydukes for all those every flavour bean fans. Some of the shopping that is going to be available include; Ollivanders, Zonko’s, Dervish and Banges and Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Hogsmeade train station as well as the Owlery are also to be included in the new land.

So book your Florida holidays and USA holidays or even perhaps USA tours now to make sure you do not miss out on this opportunity.
