My original prediction was to open the land Thanksgiving '09 with Dueling Dragons and Flying Unicorn operating, and then open the main attraction Spring Break '10...

That is more like it. Saying that the ride will be delayed past Christmas of 2010 is inaccurate at this point. I'm not saying that it couldn't end up there but as of this time we expect to open the ride by summer of 2010, possibly sooner.

Let us pray that the spirit of Test Track will be cast out of this ride in the name of all that is good and holy! Seriously I'm seeing some very similar mistakes and head sand burying that is akin to what happened at Test Track.
Hey guys...little update...
The official official opening has been slated for Spring 2010.
This article does a good job of breaking down what we can expect to see: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/fe...ning-date-universal-islands-of-adventure.html

I will be there the first week of May and am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that it will all be open! Not sure when I'll get a chance to go back and I'm a huge Harry Potter fan! I'm actually doing a report on the theme park for my Harry Potter class! (Yes, I'm in college...and I have a Harry Potter class. We read the books and talk about the allusions to Greek and Roman mythology and things like that. It's pretty awesome!)

I saw some of the newest pics of the castle and it look tiny so far.

Err.... what? They're either really good at forced perspective, or that thing is easily taller than Cinderella Castle. The central turret is friggin' huge.
Per the New Your Time article Hogwart's will be about 150 feet tall which is 39' shorter than Cinderella's Castle.

Nope not tiny but still not the biggest Castle in central Florida.

Small
How large did you expect it to be? They can't build it to scale.

I actually get that arguement: It does look alot smaller than I had thought it would be based on my on-site height estimates, not a knock against it, just sayin'...
