^^^^Yeah, like that. Not very toddler friendly. That may even be the one on the left side of the boat ride concept art:

I'm sorry if it seems I'm jumping the gun, but right now I really hope the boat ride is worth it, because the simulator sounds pretty meh. I've been one of those few rooting for this project, basing my opinion on the fact that there's just so much potential for themed rides. If this is what we're getting then right now, much like with NFL, I'm much more inclined to hope for cool theming because the E-Ticket is not very buzz-worthy.
(See what I did there? Not a single mention of the nasties over at U_____l in stating my less than enthusiastic opinion. Maybe if we named that 'other' resort That-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named it'll be OK, or is that a bit on the nose?)

Are they really going to be using glasses free 3d? First I've heard of that rumor.

Well that certainly changes things if true. Feeling a lot more excited.

It is true.
Quote or proof please?
Corrected that for you.
Going by your thinking, is that so wrong? Maybe they don't want to include every demographic.
Babies can't ride Splash Mountain. Does that make the MK so bad?
But I'm glad you think "it will be done right".
On Hogworts? Yes. Though think more 2D with depth. Much like the M:S ride screen parallax effect but a state of the art version.

Isn't it the other way around?

of course not... Uni would NEVER do something for financial reasons only... that's the evil Disney remember

Potter is the most popular expansion in Universal history, the Hogwarts Express is a clever way to link the parks and get guests to spend more money on Admission and more time at the resort.

You can have thrill rides at a park. Adding a two new lands based on a family based property, without attractions the entire family can experience together misses a huge opportunity for Universal.

First, the decision to put Potter in both parks was not in Universal's hands. That was A JKR sticking point from day 1.
You assume Gringotts is not family friendly, which is not the case. There was a mandate to make the ride considerably more family friendly. Also, Hogwarts Express will have no height requirement.

I don't understand how Potter can be a "family-based property", yet being faithful to said family-based property renders it unpalatable to families.

Well, Whylightbulb explicitly said it was a glasses free effect that is stunningly realistic. If you search through his comments from a year back you will find it.
Who says they won't cater more for families elsewhere? Assuming they want to. They're not going for the family friendly 90% of the time route. They don't need to.
And indeed, Hogworts has no age / heightrestriction. Gringotts will be as family as BTM. It's not a roller coaster.

To clarify, we're talking about glasses-less 3D for the Potter train, right? Not Soarin over Pandora?

while I think they have done a great job expanding and adding new attractions... I think they are starting to put too much in Harry Potter. That is now what everyone relates to Uni... I personally am not a Harry Potter fan... I know many are... but when you start to build sections/lands in both parks now with a harry potter ride (sorta) linking them together... well...I just think they are trying to continue squeezing the toothpaste as hard as they can to get out every last drop (can't blame them, it is a business after all). Everything they do from now on though will be compared to what they did with Harry Potterland... Springfield is just an imaginationless expanded Mickey's Toontown themed to the Simpsons they are past their prime
