Hey Matea, you can get roundtrip tickets to Orlando from Croatia for US $1,000 on travelocity.com! Also hotels in Orlando are fairly inexpensive as long as you don’t stay inside Universal or Disney :)

those pictures make me nervous… are they going to Leave ANYTHING Intact in the lost continent (meaning not touching it)
or it will all be transformed into harry potter or taken out?
I really hope they don’t take out the enchanted oak tavern- it is such a great restaurant

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!! I want to see everything and the pic just make it harder to wait, but i love them!! I relly want to explore the castel, honneyducks and gringrots. Wornder what day and what price is opeing day with all the stars and Ms. Roling that is going to be great also.

i was so excited when i first learned of this i wet my pants.

I don“t see anything but construction work on the pics. Yet I fear it will be as horrible as disney land.

To bad Cedar Fair didn’t think of this idea first! There amusement park Cedar Point is the best I have EVER been to! I guess I’ll have to travel to Flordia to check this one out though…can’t wait!

I’m going to Florida this September so I hope to see all the construction taking place hope there will be more to see and get some idea what it is actually going to look like finished.

wow all this excitement is killing me….hehe dining in great hall funny lol


I don’t think some of those pics r of the construction. It showed palm trees. That’s definitely animal kingdom. But anyway lol ill bet it’ll be awesome. ( ) ( ) ( . )

I CANT WAIT… but but i cant really tell what the pictures are gunnna be:( o WELL PICTURES ARE FUN!!!

I second Aunt Petunia. These of course are very early photos, but I don’t want to see any buttes or palm trees while under the magical spell of Hogsmeade. I want the illusion to be COMPLETE.

omg i cant wait for this to open! me and my friend might plan a road trip to florida and go on the opening month. i agree with Aunt Petunia and ginevra, im going to be extremely mad if they put palm trees or any other “un-potterish” scenery

That drawbridge in the picture doesn’t look like Hogwarts it looks like a dungeon!

Cedar Point would NEVER have been able to build this. Cedar Point is not a theme park but an amusement park. Harry Potter required EXTENSIVE Themeing, which only Disney and Universal are consistent with.

WHAT THE ANUS? how did i not know about this i? oh well it ridiculous i started crying when saw this becuse my family goes to Disney world all the time yay!!! that means the HPTP even if im the only one who likes harry potter out of my whole family.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAHHHRGHHH

The only thing i want is to be able to taste butterbeer… PLEASE!

@ Confederate Lady: I think Pocketwatch was making a little joke (I had a little inner chuckle anyway). When we see really early set photos from the Potter movies, they are almost always of Hagrid’s Hut under construction. They are also usually of similar quality—sorta small and far away and hard to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to be looking at.
@Professor Potter: There IS (or at least was) a Harry Potter Conference planned that will hopefully coincide with the opening of the theme park. I heard about it at Prophecy and is being planned by the same organization that did Prophecy and is doing Portus (I think).

I’m already making a costume to wear! Just FYI, if HP world opens up close Feb 2010, there will also be 1000’s of race car fans there for opening of season, hotels very expensive!
