Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park to Open December, 2009?
FansAs reported previously, there is a new Harry Potter theme park attraction being built that will be part of the Universal Orlando park complex in Orlando, Florida. While previously it had been stated that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was to be open sometime late 2009 or early 2010, there is a new report now online that seems to have a more specific opening date. TCPalm.com is reporting that Universal Orlando Resort President Bill Davis said the theme park “is expected to open Dec. 1, 2009.” As the park is in early stages of construction, we do not know at this point if this is just a preliminary target date or how true this date will hold for the future, and will update with more on this when we can.
Thanks Pat!

Neither can I.. well, sort of. I’d wait a year or two to go, after it opens, cause then it’ll be sure all the attractions are working , probably even some new one that at opening time was still not finished but they had to open the park asap to start cashing.
Me either Katie … should be a blast … looking forward to that first butterbeer!
PA-A-A-RTY!!!! I cannot wait until the park opens…I am right there!
who needs a con, i’m sure there will be a pile of us ready to go for the opening week.
Oh wow, I can’t wait for it to open! I hope Jo cuts the ribbon! I highly doubt I will be able to attend the grand opening, but I want to so badly!!!!!! California’s a long way away from Florida, and I’ve got a long way to go before I graduate.

You’re all so lucky….I’ far away from America,so I will never see it…bad luck I guess…but maybe someone could send me airplane and park ticket?
Figures I’ll be in college by then. Scaryyy. Eh, maybe I’ll go summer 2010 with my whole family. Gosh… things are going to be so different by then. It’s sad, really. ponders scary thought of future
Gah!!! I’m sooooo excited!! I can’t wait!!! I’ll bet at least Jo will be there, probably some of the stars from the movies, too.
Yay! I can’t wait! I want to go when it opens! I’ve never been to one of the conferences and that will be the ultimate one! I can just see it: we all meet in The Leaky Cauldron and chat and yay!
I just pictured us all walking around wearing nametags that have our online names on it. LOL.
Gah, I need to figure how I’m getting to Florida- California is pretty far away, lol. But yeah, super excited for it!!
