Wizarding World of Harry Potter Expansion?
- Thread starter GLaDOS
- Start date
Just realized the first post is fairly vague. I was on laughingplace.com, and Lee hisownself and Spirit of 74 both basically said the Lost Continent's days are numbered.
Lee: "Just heard a couple days ago....
Forbidden Journey came in at just UNDER $90mil.
Between $220-$240mil did the whole thing.
And...in just around three months of operation...it's paid for itself. Phase two is on the way."
And disneyhead on __________________________.com backed him up, saying he heard the same stuff from the same source.

Yeah potterland 2.0 seems like the next best step for them.

They might as well, the lost continent is boring, IMHO. We always walk right through it and only stop there if we want to eat at Mythos (which is highly overrated, i think). WWoHP is too small as it is, they need to expand it. More money for them, more fun and space for us HP fans. Win/win

Its been a while since i have been in Poseidon's revenge but i think they could lay some potter over it and make it work better.
Second thought, actually I don't care, I just want them to keep the water tunnel.

We just came back from Harry Potter World. While I loave the details of the area it's the size that drives me. All the shops are to small for the amount of people in the little area. They need Disney size space to accomadate the hoards of Potter people. The Lost Continent area would allow for Potter to spead its wings more. My daughter would be very happy to see more Potter stuff.

A Diagon Alley with a Gringott's Bank ride would be terrific. The ride could take you underground on a coaster to raid a Death Eater's vault, avoiding dragons, goblins etc.
Hogsmeade at IoA currently has some shops that were really part of Diagon Alley, like Ollivander's. They could move those to Diagon Alley if they ever build it.

The shreeking shack would be a good addition.

It had nothing to do with lack of space...it had to do with making it exactly how J.K. Rowling wanted it, and for her it had to be true to her books and her vision. I believe part of the reason she went with Universal is that they allowed her to have more control over how things were built. Disney sized space" is exactly one of the reasons why Disney didn't win the contract. They would never build something like that.

Waste of space.
Potter is a cash cow, they should use all available space to build more shops, more dining and a ride or two to support it all.

I'm looking forward to the Potter expansion, but I want to see some love around the rest of the park too. While rides like Spiderman, Hulk and Dudley Do Right get huge wait times, the rest of the rides never really seem to grow to outrageous waits. There needs to be more to spread out the people in the park, to increase capacity and reduce wait times.
