This forum needed a dedicated thread for all Potter related construction. Shot from today courtesy of AmusementPics.com ...

Here we see the steel framework for Gringotts.

Something else quite large will be going vertical within 7-10 days as well within Potter 2.0

London waterfront buildings or Hogwarts Express?

I'm thinking Transformers...

Always good to see some new stuff going vertical.

Already going vertical with at least 3 wall/foundation sections of the basement completed, just still a few feet below ground level.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hogwarts Express station starts popping up, as well.

I'm happy i put off going down to see the Wizarding World now, it will be nice to experince it when it is all done.

yep, same here. I won't be going until it's all done, whenever that may be.

Were the permits for the other parts of Potter 2.0 approved yet? I was actually under the assumption only the Gringott's permit has been approved and the others were still pending.

This is so exciting!

 

[JustInTime]

So why haven't they announced this? lol

They are waiting to ruin a big Disney announcement.

 

[GLaDOS]

More like they don't want people putting off vacations.

Everything but Diagon Alley has been approved and is under construction.

And considering BGT420 said "within Potter 2.0" the vertical construction will be a Potter building, most likely Kings Cross.

The waterfront won't have buildings.

I believe they were also concerned that if people knew about Potter 2.0 well in advance they would put of their vacation until everything was finished which would affect their current attendance.

I figured they would wait until the grand opening of FLE. You think Disney has something bigger coming soon??

 

[GLaDOS]

They're not saving it to trump a Disney announcement. They're waiting until the end of next year to dissuade people from postponing vacations.

BGT said "within Potter 2.0" so something else will be going vertical in the former Jaws site soon.

It's a little of both.

 

[AndyMagic]

Should be Avatar but the way Disney has been moving lately it will 2030 before that's finished. I think Disney seems to have ADD.

Let's be fair. Their ADD seems limited to building attractions. Building appendages that distribute fastpasses to attractions that will never need them seem to go up in no time. I know people are just DYING to snap up a Seas With Nemo and Friends fastpass.
