I fail to understand why this was a big deal.

The projections, wowee!stunning.
Ya - they definitely need to make this a permanent thing. Akin to the Tree of Life Awakenings that is forthcoming. A special treat that happens every 20 minutes or so.
Surprisingly, I'd say that is the best Universal night time extravaganza (even though it was 4 minutes) by miles!

He might be thinking along the lines of "it's been in Florida for almost six years. Why is this huge?" Not that I agree with him. Not everyone can make it here so this is great for you guys. Can't wait to hear your thoughts when you ride it. It blew my frickin mind when I rode it opening day

That was amazing. Definitely wasn't expecting the live orchestra...makes me wish I hadn't quit violin after three years of playing. Great use of tech and loved that they included the four houses.

I get that, but it still doesn't make sense lol. Magic Kingdom came 16 years after Disneyland, but I'm sure people were still excited.
Definitely looking forward to experiencing it for myself. Thank God I took some front of the line passes with me before I quit working at the park!

Did you ever learn the song they play at the end of Titanic?

Just found out that was the legendary John Williams conducting the orchestra. And I wasn't there... DAMN.

I get that sentiment. Been here in Orlsndo now for six years, and also on Japan now for over a year. You'd figure by now all the Potterheads have seen it.
Then again, not everybody can afford the travel.
Based on what I heard from opening day, the Californians either DID travel to Florida or they just don't care all that much. Maybe it really isn't a big deal?

Well I don't understand why it needs the Grand Celebration it does. Even here. But maybe it's just me. I feel as though rides and lands should open with less press.He might be thinking along the lines of "it's been in Florida for almost six years. Why is this huge?" Not that I agree with him.

Which is true. Now say Universal Opens or adds to their Wizarding World with something unique other than whats here in Orlando and that differs from Japan, then I could understand (Like Diagon), but to be excited over the same repeated thing is just baffling. When they replicated transformers here the opening was silly to me. Its not my call though. The additions to the parks are absolutely great for their respective areas of location.
