I thought it wouldn't work at first....being a huge Harry Potter fan. (I made fun of it until I read the books--and found they are brilliantly and cleverly written. The series has brought out every emotion concievable in me. I don't think you are allowed to knock HP until you have read it....if you have read it and hate it *gasp*, then rant about how horrible it is all you want.
)
But I digress...I thought initially that it would be corny and wouldn't do the books justice; a silly ride to compare with the heavy, striking story.
But then I realized if it's going to happen, MGM would be the best park. Yes, the books and movies are obviously not Disney, but is Star Wars? No.
I think also that the ride would have to be about the magical world, not about the story itself, taking a leaf from Star Tours. Perhaps a trip through Hogwarts, Peeves bobbing at the ceiling, harassing the riders? Peeks into classrooms? A journey into the Forbidden Forest, with a glimpse of bowtruckles and centaurs? There would definately be a need for Spider-Man like technology.
Of course, that is, if this is even going to happen at all.
I do think it would be kind of dumb for characters to be walking around...but it would be funny to have random "wizards and witches" planted, attempting their best to sport Muggle clothing (if you've read the books, you know how funny that can look
).
