The title is correct and as of spring 2010 Harry Potter’s home will be in the theme park Islands of Adventure which is within the Universal Studios resort. The park is not basing the land on any of the books or films in particular but as a collection of all of those put together. They are currently working very closely with Warner Brothers on bringing the imagination of J.K Rowling to life. Having just returned from Florida, at the moment all that can be seen is Hogwarts Castle being built along with a Ministry Of Magic Decree saying no one can see what is going on within that certain area of the park.
Two of Islands of Adventures rides will close for a short while to make way for a Harry Potter overhaul. The family favourite The Flying Unicorn will be turned into Flight of the Hippogriff and the dual-track Duelling Dragons coaster is set to be turned into Dragon Challenge which all sounds very "I cant be bothered". The latter of the two may not have that many changes to it as it is currently still open.
The final ride is so secret that nobody knows what it is going to contain. The only thing that Universal have announced is that it will be called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and have stated it will be “state of the art” as well as “mind blowing”. Considering the recent Spiderman, Mummy and Rip-Ride-Rock it rides that they have put into place they could be telling the truth.
Dining experience will include the Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head and Honeydukes for all those chocolate frog fans. Places in which you can shop include; Ollivanders, Zonko’s, Dervish and Banges and Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Hogsmeade train station as well as the Owlery are also to be included in this new part.
So book your Florida holidays and USA holidays or even perhaps USA tours now to make sure you do not miss out on this opportunity.
