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 put together. They are working very closely with WB in 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 can see what is going on within that area of the park.
There are two rides that are closing for a short time while they recieve total Harry Potter remakes. 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 currently running so perhaps the changes are not going to be very much on this one.
The last right is one of the theme parks biggest secrets to date. 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”. Seeing as they have not broken their promises on other rides such as Spiderman, The Mummy and the very recent Rip-Ride-Rock it it could be very interesting indeed.
Dining experience will include the Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head and Honeydukes for all those chocolate frog fans. The shopping choices include; Ollivanders, Zonko’s, Dervish and Banges and Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Hogsmeade station and the Owlery are also set to be included.
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.
