Grand Opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

For those visiting Universal Studios in Orlando this summer, you will now be lucky enough to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Harry Potter theme park is the newest edition to Universal Studios in Orlando, which officially had its grand opening today, June 18th.

Since before I can remember movies have always been made into rides and interactive events with rides like Jaws, Terminator and even Indian Jones. However, the Harry Potter theme park is the first time a single book and movie series has been turned into an entire theme park equipped with themed architecture, roads, multiple rides, characters and even, themed shops. In fact, the new Harry Potter theme park even has a magic wand shop!

Watch how the filmmakers of the movies helped create the Harry Potter theme park world:

Today at the opening ceremonies there were some special guests present to welcome in the crowd…watch the video to find out who made it to the show!

    The early advertisements for the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter listed Spring 2010. Unfortanetly, it wasn’t open during our Spring trip to the Orlando area. As the date got closer the ads changed from Sping 2010 to June 18th (which technically is still Spring). I guess we need to make ANOTHER trip.

    There are certainly a whole lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to deliver up. I supply the thoughts above as common inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up where crucial thing will be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around things like that, however I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls really feel the impression of just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
