Awesome update Erik!! :mickey: It made me realise how much I love Universal.

I love your WWoHP shots. They are so clear!! It looks like they are working hard at it and I am praying it will be open when I am there in May.

The sign you refer to at the entrances says "Hogsmeade: Mind the Spell Limit" It has a cat on it I think.

14 dollars for motorcycle parking! Do you at least get closer parking? It should be half the costs since motorcycles take up half the space of a car (half being conservative).

Dueling Dragons Now Closed To Be Turned Into Dragon Challenge
From Orlando United:
I can confirm it is indeed closed as of today. I was at the park tonight and it was surrounded by a green construction wall and the DD sign was still up.


From Screamscape:
Park News - (2/15/10) A reader claims they contacted Universal Orlando customer service regarding any possible attraction closures during their trip and were told that Dueling Dragons would be closed from 2/27/10 through to 3/16/10.


Many over at Orlando United confirmed that the Dueling Dragons have closed February 27th to be turned into Dragon Challenge. During it's closure the ride will go through a new paint job (rumored), get new trains (rumored), & the queue line is supposed to be finished.

Donkeys are my way of life!

$5 says that at least 10 people of the GP will think that the park got rid of Dueling Dragons and replaced it with Dragon Challenge. :lmao:

Does anybody know exactly what will be the "headline" attraction in the new Harry Potter area at IOA? I heard some sort of motion simulator type ride.

Some sort of weird hybrid of Spiderman and Indiana Jones that's on a robot arm.
