Harry Potter The Attraction???

WDWhumanmap · Dec 29, 2003

I mean come on and now where would this ride come to pass meaning what park would hold this ride???

Mickey doesn't need help. HE should be the one saving people. If they are to do a HP attraction at all, keep other characters out of it. It wouldn't make sence.

i argee it just seems no one can take a joke anymore it was a j/k just like some people think this and other ride ideas are but i actually think its great it would be merging 2 things i love the most harry and wdw just wishing and wondering where it would go

1stStarIC2nite · Dec 29, 2003

I am one of those people who hates Harry Potter and I would rather die than ride it... Well, I mean that's kind of harsh, I'd ride it, but I don't think I'd like it. I also think it would just not fit in any of the parks and I don't think there's any room for it in MGM. If I were Eisner (which I wish I wasn't cuz he's a do-do-head) I would dissaprove.

Don't mean to stir up any arguments over HP though... :animwink:

NemoRocks78 · Dec 29, 2003

It'd fit perfectly well at the United Kingdom pavilion.....

WDWhumanmap · Dec 29, 2003

perfect spot i think that is nemo i never thought of it and they need an ride there badly or an attraction that is the only one w/o something in the ways of a ride or movie etc. in the words of the brits GOOD SHOW:sohappy:

1stStarIC2nite · Dec 29, 2003

My question is though, does Britain want to be represented by a 13 yr. old (I'm just geussin cuz I don't know) boy with a scar on his head that can do a little bit of magic??? And I thought that the attractions in WS were supposed to be educational and inform the public of how the country was....

WDWhumanmap · Dec 29, 2003

if your the biggest selling project to ever come out of the UK i think you would want it i was just saying the UK at epcot needs something and considering thats where it is set and the writter is british then its a good spot there

Pippa · Dec 29, 2003

Although I am a big fan of HP I would rather see an attraction/film/whatever about something much more "british" like our royal history, if any movie theme had to be chosen surely it should James Bond?

Harry Potter, the ride. Sounds great but it's only a dream

But it is not a bad idea.

I'm with you almost all the way star.
Can not stand Potter, but I have made that clear on other threads. So I won't start up again how both the books and movies are some of the worst words and images ever put to paper or on film. But like I said I won't start up again.
The only thing I would say differently is that if it goes any where it should be MGM with the Lucas and Henson properties. And that Eisner will love this because it will bring in people (young people)quickly, cash in while it's hot. As opposed to maybe developing a Disney property like Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Lion King or any number of the wonderful properties they have.

Heyyall · Dec 29, 2003

Yeah....I definitely would NOT want a Harry Potter ride...
I really don't think it would fit in Disney World...
Maybe that's just because I don't like him at all though..:lookaroun

Dizknee_Phreek · Dec 30, 2003

HP in WDW? i don't see it happening in the near future. for one thing, i think it's still too controversial, all though the controversy seemingly has died down some.
but i dunno....somehow i just don't see it fitting in. the most likely place would be MGM. i highly doubt disney would ever put a movie/book-based attraction in at Epcot (though if they did, i'd want to see a Lord of the Rings attraction in the UK...but that's just in my own perfect dream world) i suppose they could take out the Hunchback theater and put an attraction there. maybe they could even leave the theater there and turn it into a live stage show. either way, although i am a HP fan (though not a rabid one) i'd prefer it if he stayed out of disney's parks.

btw, i had no idea Disney was licensing HP....so what exactly does that mean? will disney start selling HP stuff in the parks, or what?

General Grizz · Dec 30, 2003

I'm glad I'm not hearing this one as a solid rumor. Although Harry Potter would be successful like the Dickens, it still doesn't have the "Disney feel." Even if it was put in World Showcase, uh, how does this "culturally help" the United Kingdom? At all?

(I think the original contract dealt with Disney showing HP on television, etc.)
