I'm not talking about the shops inside
Ok, so you are only bashing the exteriors, got it.

In all fairness, the look they created is pretty close to what DA looks like in the movies. If the environment is supposed to be immerse guests into the set, how else should it look at that point?
I'm not bashing anything... I'm saying it's a design that is going to be overly crowded and surrounded by close buildings that extend up beyond your sightlines at ground level. It would make for some interesting stressful situations for those who don't like crowded areas or feel claustrophobic...that's all I'm saying
Ok. I just found it odd that your response to someone saying how well themed and immersive the land will be, was to point out that it has narrow walkways and will be claustrophobic. You can see how that would come across as being negative.
I completely agree...it does look like it... but it's going to likely be a mess to maneuver and feel very closed in within a crowded theme park
This is ridiculous. Everything I've see and heard from reliable sources is that the addition is wonderful. No one should accept any negative reviews until after the ride has been open for months. I will see for myself in 2015. Until then I don't care what people say. I am sure most will love it and I don't care about negative posts. Decide for yourself. Don't let others make your mind up for you.Might not be too far from the truth. Interesting article in CNN Money today:
"It's been a rough start. July 8 wasn't the opening date that the park originally wanted, judging by the fact that it had "The Tonight Show" and "Today" run weeklong tie-ins a few weeks ago. Conveniently for Comcast, it owns both the Universal theme parks and NBC.
However, with the expansion's indoor coaster proving unreliable -- and even Universal pass holders being denied early access to attractions outside of the new Hogwarts Express train ride -- it could be an interesting debut. The crowds should be huge, the expectations lofty."
Because as we all know tall alleyway type buildings are so out of place in Diagon Alley. Universal messed up big time with thisit's not pathetic... it's the truth. I'm not bashing what they have created... all I am saying is that street is going to be massively crowded with no where to walk and you are surrounded entirely by tall, dull alley-way type buildings on either side.
I hope no one is claustrophobic

I personally am shocked that a place called Diagon Alley is built like an alley and not a grand Parisian boulevard.

We do. It's the same trite complaint that has been a complete non-issue for four years.haha you all really don't get what I am saying here do you? oh well lol
All that confirms is that they're behind schedule, which I would never deny. I'm calling him out on his criticism of the atmosphere of the area, which has had overwhelmingly POSITIVE reviews.Might not be too far from the truth. Interesting article in CNN Money today:

Imagine that, something called Diagon ALLEY is narrow with tall buildings. If only there were other parts of the expansion... like two more alleys, a market, and London with a train station... If only.it's not pathetic... it's the truth.

I AM NOT COMPLAINING... haha I am stating an observationWe do. It's the same trite complaint that has been a complete non-issue for four years.
I was there and can tell you personally that when the initial crowds die down after all the excitement the area will be very maneuverable with plenty of space. The streets, as well as everything else, are much bigger when you are there in person. The huge crowds at the beginning are unavoidable and only natural. Universal has done a great job with this area.not what I am saying... imagine Osborne lights, mass crowds, taller buildings, and only 1/3rd of the street to move
Imagine that, something called Diagon ALLEY is narrow with tall buildings. If only there were other parts of the expansion... like a second alley, a market, and London with a train station... If only.
