ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Universal Orlando has lifted the invisibility cloak that's been covering its new Harry Potter attraction. Well, sort of. On Tuesday the scaffolding was removed around its new "Wizarding World of Harry Potter."

The new attraction is set to open in spring 2010 at universal's islands of adventures. It features two roller coasters, Hogwarts Castle, plus a bunch of stores based on the best selling book and movie series.

There is a great update on O r l a n d o U n i t e d with many spectacular photos. Universal has a winner here folks. If the interiors are anything like the facades (and I think they'll surpass them), prepare to be blown away.

Forbidden Journey, Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff are the three attractions. Forbidden Journey is a dark ride, the others are the existing coasters.

So uh, are they going to do anything about the main show building? Or just let it show like a sore thumb? :lookaroun

You can only see the show building from the back. Everywhere the guest can see is completely themed to the castle.

Not true. The area exiting Jurassic Park and going into the Wizarding World is a huge showbuilding wall. No theming there and the ground will be covered for what will likely be a greenhouse themed extended queue, but to outside guests walking by the large blank showbuilding wall is there. I am hoping they paint it to theme it to JP.

Didn't know about that. They'll most likely either paint it or heavily cover it. I trust in them.

Me too. Universal is great with thematic elements and structures besides Rockit, aways top notch.

That's completely true, and looking at Rockit, it isn't completely horrible, considering they also gave us an absolutely amazing performance venue.
