Just AMAZING theming!!!!

... and this is just a façade to hide the actual land!

In person, does for 1990s London what MSUSA does for for 1910s Missouri--only taller. Having lived in London in 1993, it captures the feel of the city.

Kreacher is a very nice touch!

So amazing. I love the Kreacher detail.

 

[BryceM]

So beautiful.

 

[JustInTime]

Unbelievable.

will you be able to board the triple decker bus?

No.

 

[danpam1024]

No.

didn't think so- but it sure does look like it in the pictures- probably a platform for a CM??

Supposedly an interactive show near the front, with the conductor and one of the talking heads. Also, it looks like you can pose for pictures holding onto a pole on the back (although the interior of the bus is caged off).

I'll let @PhotoDave219 make the jokes about that photo op...

By luck, I was in the park today. London looks fantastic, obviously. But one of the nicest design elements is when you approach from the San Francisco side, your view of the façade (and fountain) is blocked by the Knight Bus. When you pass the bus, you're hit with the fountain and the full view of Wyndham's.

Very dramatic design work.

And it looks incredible from across the lagoon.

I wonder if you'll be able to dial 62442 in the red telephone box and receive an announcement from the Ministry of Magic?

Just because I photograph pole fitness instructors in my spare time....

This sequence of pictures kind of gives you an idea of how the area unfolds as you walk toward the fountain.

Just a few more. The first one is the approach from San Francisco.

It would be fun if the Knight Bus was like the Omnibuses on Main Street, picking people up from the front entrance and dropping them off in London.

That would be awesome.
