We have for you tonight a number of updates regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park currently under construction at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.  First, the Orlando Sentinel has a number of new images of the construction still underway via this link.  Secondly, additional images from the theme park via a report on Orlando Park News have been uploaded to our Image Galleries right here.

Finally, reports have been surfacing online regarding a revised ticking structure put in place at the Universal Park.  The Orlando Sentinel reports that the new ticking structure introduced Monday eliminates  "a long-running promotional offer for weeklong passes and raising the price of standard two-day tickets. But it also introduced new three- and four-day ticket options."  While we have not received word on firm opening dates or park plans, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is slated to open in the spring.

Thanks to all those who mailed!

Oh no, they are increasing prices for the park opening? Figures. I’ll just resign myself to going some day 5 years from now when I might have time and money and maybe even children.

I really want to go there but they’ve increased the price a lot, so I don’t know.

The palm trees do look out of place, but they may not be able to grow evergreens there very successfully. However, the buildngs are going to be awesome.
