i think they should there should be a amusment park that is all Harry potter that shows all the areas and stuff in the books and movies like the platform 9 3/4, the train, forest, hogsmead, castlew, classes, hagrids cabin, ministry of magic, every thing!

that would be awsome!

I do have some information on the main attraction ride in the new Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Orlando. I have a close relative that is doing some of the engineering for the ride. Right now Universal is calling it “Project Strong Arm” and it will consist of 40 or so high power industrial robotic arms on a track. Riders will be in seats with shoulder harnesses, much like a roller coaster, at the end of the robotic arm. These arms will travel on the track through the ride course and interact with the scenery in a similar way the spiderman ride does. This ride will be much more interactive however as the scenery will actually be moving in sync with the arms. The ride is supposedly going to start out with riders being “swept” up a giant chimney and into the world of Harry Potter. Right now a lot of the engineering work has to do with safety…such as ride control not allowing the arms to get too close to each other or hitting riders into the scenery. So far this is what I know about the planned ride. More to follow…

Although the timing may be a problem, no doubt Universal will compromise…

For example, I seriously doubt that they will omit the characters Remus Lupin, Albus Dumbledore, and Fred Weasley – they are essential to the park, athough by the seventh book, they are dead.

Like Stuart Craig said, they will try to create the Wizarding World of Harry Potter as accurately as possible…well, we’ll see how that goes…

I personally think that Universal and Islands of Adventure should work together to make a Harry Potter Theme Park. Like Islands of Adventure, there should be Harry Potter theme park,but where you have sections of each book. There should be seven sections, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh Harry Potter Book for each section. Harry Potter Book one section should have Diagon Alley, a platform nine and three quarters train ride, a Gringotts walkthrough, a broom stick ride to catch the golden snitch, and a walkthrough adventure of going through every collum in finding the Sorcerers Stone. In book two section two there should be the forbiden forest ride riding on the flying car, Chamber of Secrets passagay,and the burrow. In book three section three, like you said a buckbeack flying adventure, dementor escape, and an Escaping the Whompping Willow rollar coaster. In book four section four there should be a water ride of the second task of finding Ron underwater, a little maze like the third task, and a dragon rollor coaster ride like the first task. In book five section five there should be an Umbridge escape, another broomstick ride where the Order is transporting him, a passagway in Sirius’s house, in the Room of Requirement, and Umbridges office, and a rollar coaster of flying on the threstals. In book six section six there should be a ride of Dumbledore Harry and the cave, and there the Quiddetch Match rollar coaster. In book seven section seven there should be a tour of godrics hollow, a ride of escape the death eaters, and a ride of getting the sword from the puddle. Like every other theme pak, Harry Potter world will have a map called the marauders map. The resturaunts should be called the Hog’s Head and the Three Broomsticks. The candy shop should be called Zonko’s. And thehotel’s should all be called the Leaky Cauldron.
