The whole area will be filled with jaw dropping themeing. The WOW factor of the dragon has not really even been discussed yet. It is definitely gonna be a photo favorite.

It's beautiful, really well done. The one thing that irks me, is being able to see the hogwarts express from the San Fran / London transition... that is bad show IMO...

Just like seeing Space Mountain from New Fantasyland!
No matter how hard these parks try, you'll never have perfect sightlines

No no quite the same here. They could easily have put up a facade to cover the train leaving... This is not a show building, its the actual train leaving the station. And I am sure the ride does not show the back of San Fran on the way out... It's nitpicking, I know - but that is what this forum is for!
Ask me if it will stop me from riding...

Like Hogwarts and the big white show building.

Right. Which no one except hand wringing forum posters care about.
I'll be there the weekend of the 20th, hope to catch it as it opens.

Like Bay Lake Tower from New Fantasyland.
Like Swan and Dolphin from World Showcase.
There are some basically at every park.

So pretty. Thanks for posting this one!
I believe the worst transition for me is leaving Frontierland at Liberty Square and looking at the Haunted Mansion with the Tangled Potties Tower. Talk about Irksome. But Lazy Show Award is being out on the race track in Tomorrowland and looking at the back end of Circus more than 2 years later. The Circus Transition was an imagineering fail as by Mid-2014 Disney could have brought in more mature landscaping to screen that misstep. Lazy.

Not sure why there is a need to say, 'THIS IS MUCH WORSE THAN THAT"... I'm not targeting UNI, or saying WDW does it better - who cares... It's not a comparison. We are talking about DA, not WDW.
Showing the train leaving Kings Cross, going behind the backlot areas is not good show... I think I understand the "WHY", but it just breaks the amazing detailing they have done. Everyone knows it is a real train, you board the thing. There is no need to show it peeking behind the buildings. And they could easily cover it up.

What do you think the HE and the TV screens?

They're not TV screens.
I think they way they are shown in the promo video is unfortunate since it really makes it look like they are sitting and watching a TV.

Yes, it's not a visual system that will photograph well. But these aren't simple TV screens they're looking at.

There are no TV screens involved with the HE.
I think that video is only showing the bottom of the screen, if you look careful at the top is looks like it extends out of frame. The bar at the top is just the diver between the top and bottom of the window.

Indeed.
At least the train belongs to that project. I can overlook that issue as it is creativity at its best. I'm looking forward to it.
