In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun, Harry Potter producer David Heyman acknowledged that Universal Studios is planning an expansion to the popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, though did not elaborate on any details.
Heyman confirmed with Sun Media that details are being planned,
including new Potter-themed thrill rides. Heyman himself has been
thrilled with the response. "This is the first time we've been here with
this crowd," he said of "real fans" of the Harry Potter universe. "You
realize it does live on and it lives on in so many ways."
Do note that any expansion would still be a few years off, but it's an exciting prospect! What are some Harry Potter-themed rides you'd like to see?
That’s exciting! Because I doubt I’ll be able to come up with the money in the next few years, so if they expand, i’ll have more time to make more money and make the best trip of my life <3
:D i already know that they r making the park bigger, but i’m still excited to read this!!!!!! i can’t wait for the rides, and decor all over the place!!! :D :D
I’d love to see a ride where you can ride around on a broomstick and steer, like those fake cars! Or maybe a ride through Diagon Alley, it’d be cool if they added that! The possibilities are endless!
I just went so it’s kinda upsetting, but I’m glad they’re expanding four rides just isn’t enough. I also hope they lower their prices a bit. It is extremely expensive… but it was one of the best experiences of my life. I can’t wait to go back when I can…
Universal needs to expand the Potter franchise since Disney has acquired control over the Marvel characters. At some point they’ll put Spiderman, etc. and Universal needs a replacement. But really, Warner Bros. has the HP franchise sewn up. Why they didn’t think there was enough in the series to support an entire new park is unfathomable. A dedicated HP theme park: Diagon Alley for the shops; Hogwarts Castle, MOM, Privet Drive, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 & 3/4——-more than enough for developing an entire theme park.
Wow! Maybe go to Ministry of Magic or something like that, Shreking Shack, maybe. Oh, that’s so amazing, but I’m going next Summer, though to see how it’s like now! Oh, my Gosh! I’m so excited!!! :D
It appears that ‘they’ are finally beginning to see the light. HP is sooo much bigger than they realized. TWWOHP has the potential to be bigger than Disney ever was.
I have so many idea! Maybe I could volunteer to be on their board of advisors! I’d like a Soxx Shop in Glad Rags so I could pick out a pair for Dobby (after all the theme park is set about Book 4 and he is still alive). Madam Puddifoots would be nice. And of course, a place to use floo powder or port key to take me to The Leaky Cauldron and other places in Diagonally.
"Dobby must do it, sir, for Harry Potter's own good."[br]The pudding fell to the floor with a heart-stopping crash. Cream splattered the windows and walls as the dish shattered. With a crack like a whip, Dobby vanished.
That’s exciting! Because I doubt I’ll be able to come up with the money in the next few years, so if they expand, i’ll have more time to make more money and make the best trip of my life <3
