As 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!
I think they should have had this theme park (and it is a theme park, by the way. According to the offical website it’s a “theme park within a theme park” this thing is huge!) built a long time ago!!!
It’s debut is set for late 09’ or possibly 2010! It seems late to me. The last book came out last summer, the 6th film is in production and by 2009/2010 the 7th movie will either be in production or already released!
I am a true hardcore HP fan (read the books religiously for years-watched movies-blah blah) but as much as I hate to admit it, when it’s all said and done, HP will be just another fad among our generation.
All the secrets have been exposed in the series, the story has been told and there isn’t anymore anticipation for a next book. Even those who are strictly HP movie goers probably already know the entire story and how it ends. There just isn’t anymore excitment for somthing new in the HP world.
This theme park has come along at a bad time in the HP era which is sadly close to an end. I’d love if Harry Potter could bask in his glory for a lot longer, but sadly he wont. After all the HP hype dies down, consumers will find somthing else to be obsessed with.
Sorry I’ve gone on and on—I just really think the park should already be in business. They’ll make loads of money when it first opens with it’s current opening date. The first year will be amazing probably-but after the new wears off so will the money for Universal. People will stop going.
