Vertical construction continues on Wizarding World
Thanks to MuggleNet reader Madeleine, we now have in our gallery some photos taken of construction just last week. As you can see, one structure in particular is quickly coming together with steel beams. There is also one wooden wall being built in the middle of the whole work area.
The theme park is still set to open between December 2009 and Spring 2010. We'll continue to update you as we receive more pictures and reports. Thanks again to Madeleine for the pictures!

/me is really exited for this theme park
omg i wont be able to go to the theme park... i hope i do top 10....
cant wait !! 10!!
Awesome! I absolute cannot wait for this theme park...
I'm considering moving (from IL) to Florida to try and get a job as an actor/entertainer in this park. Talk about a dream job.
Wow cool! I can't wait till they have some pictures of something more than trees, wood and dirt though.
I'm so there!
I'm thinking that that big arched building might be the Great Hall, but the Great Hall will probably be bigger, soooo....lol.
I've never been to Disney World, but I think I just might plan a trip somewhere between Winter 2009 and Spring 2010. I hope MuggleNEt says when tickets go on sale! I have a snowday today! yay! I thought global warming had banished them from my region, but Ha! it is not so. Well, I must go sledding . . .
The pictures look great, I can not wait until the theme park opens.
yay!! i cant wait!!! thats where im gonna spend my winter vaca in 2009!! but if its not open yet, its gonna be my spring vaca in 2010!!
Sweet! I can't wait until they open the park
yayy im so excited! snowwwwwwwwwww dayyyyy
omfg im soo siked. sucks for all u uk losers
It's nice to have up-to-date photos of the construction site. The "wooden wall" looks like it might be concrete forms for a foundation. I look forward to the opening, I haven't been to Universal or Disney in a while. I wish they were doing a replica of Diagon Alley. I would love to browse the shops. Gringots vaults would make a great ride. The biggest hurtle is the lack of Magical/Enchanted merchandise to fill the shops. I wish my pilots license was current. We could get some good shots from above.
OOOooOOooOooooOoOOOOoooo! !cool...
omg...thats so exciting!!!!!!
ALERT ALERT ALERT!!! I just had a totally weird thought about the Hallows, to be precise the Elder Wand. Grindelwald stole the want from Gregorovitch, and we know that Gregorowith shot a stunning spell AT Grindelwald in an effort to prevent him from stealing the wand but WHY wasn't Gregorovitch USING the Elder Wand at the time. WHY in the god's name would he keep his old wand when he was the Elder Wands's master. We know for sure was the master because Grindelwald became the master when he stole it. And you don't just leave the most powerful wand in the world lying in your workshop, especially not if you already told people that you had it (and he did) I am really bugged by this...
They are going to build a diagon alli i read it in somewhere in muggelnet.
Yaaay!!!!!!!!!!!
they are really going to need some "magic" to make that hp world. lol.
Yeah really they will need some ""magic" I agree alastormoody. I am hoping that I will get over my fear of roller coasters with HP rides!!! But I will also have to get over my fear of flying to get to Florida. But it is still worth it to me!! I mean it is a Harry Potter theme park!!!!
cant wait!
emcrocks i agree completely... i have a huge phobia of heights, but it doesn't matter when it comes to Harry Potter. Because Harry Potter is life so i'm willing to go on a roller coaster =]
the stupid cheesecakian site wont let me on the fourms!!!! :( anyyone here? *growls* come on i just want my activation email!!
ok im all better!
ok im all better!
TREY TREY TREY?????????? ARE YOU THERE???????????
moody come on the chat site!
the chat isn't working for me anymore- i keep getting error 404 or the thing that has alex's email on it.
thats weird try registering in the fourooms now
yeah i dont really understand the forums... but i'll try again
That's the maintenance bay. Unfortunately you probably won't see much of that if you're a guest. But looking at the tracks it is definite that it's a coaster of some kind. Directly across from the bay they've laid some rather thick foundations (right next to Jurassic Park). It's still really early though, but very exciting.
OMG this is ssssssssooooooo awesome. i was at universal this past summer staying in the hard rock hotel and walking through the hallways with my nose burried in gof and one of the employees told me that they were making a harry potter island. i was so excited i almost peed myself! me and my family go to universal and islands of adventure all the time! (we only live an hour and a half away and have two year passes to alot of the orlando and tampa theme parks) so it usually doesn't cost alot of $$$$$$$$. they are also making a simpsons ride where back to the future used to be. im so excited! can't wait to go back. i hate riding the unicorn . im more into the hulk and dueling dragons now im alittle bit older and ite unicorn is a baby ride but i usually have to ride it with my sister anyways. last time i went on it they were starting to clear the trees out and put the dirt and other junk in to start building the castle but i didn't know that until the person at the hotel told me what it was. anyway im glad they are taking the unicorn and making it the flying hippogriff. it will be so much coolier. and yes, i just said coolier.
S---WEEETT My Dad told me that right when it opens we can take a plane down to see it. It should be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I hope the park would be as fabulous as the books, series and everything in the world of Harry Potter. Because I am real fan of JK Rowling.
