Thanks man. I'm just excited for all of this and am glad to be in a position to share these photos with others who may be just as excited as me.

No turning around or loops. They simply go both directions, with a bypass in the track's midsection. The trains will have two "fronts," like a monorail, but you'll only see one of them.

This is incorrect JT the Express will only have a locomotive on the side facing IOA. It will essentially back into 9 3/4.

All very cool. Thanks, guys!

Has (or will) the existing Hogsmeade locomotive been removed? Or will that one stick around for photo-ops?

Expected to stay with the new station set up to support that image.

I heard that there's already talk of an expansion that will connect to both Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom

This sucks I have to wait 2 and a half years to go back to Universal. The good thing is that my kids will be old/tall enough to go on the Potter rides by then.

If you look close, there is another locomotive waiting to be placed on the track in this picture.

For the second train, but that's got nothing do with which direction it's gonna face. Both trains will face IOA and "back" into 93/4. I've been saying this for about 7-8 months and I've yet to see any indication I'm wrong.

Good eyes. I totally missed that.

I feel your pain. I have no idea when our next trip to Orlando will be at this point. I wish it were tomorrow! No, scratch that, I wish it were shortly after the HP Expansion opens!

Sorry for the poor quality
