The magic of Harry Potter, after invading cinemas and all the shelves of libraries worldwide, arrives in amusement parks. On 18 June, in fact, at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida will officially open to the general public “The wizarding World of Harry Potter” theme park in the world of boy wizard created by JK Rowling.
A project on which the art director Stuart Craig and Alan Gilmore (producers of the Harry Potter films) worked for about three years, constantly consulting with the writer who created the character.
Among the attractions of the park, a recreation of Hogwarts castle, rebuilt for the occasion even more impressive of its actual height (tens of meters) with a spectacular view of games. Also in the park (which covers an area of 80,000 square meters) there are three big games: called Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey, Challenge and Dragon Flying Hippogriff.
Innovations for what concerns the queues: small attractions have been introduced along the rows, to make them less unnerving.
For example, before entering the Dragon Challenge is passed before the world the Triwizard Tournament, to dysfunctional Ford Anglia and Nimbus 2000 flying broom used by Daniel Radcliffe and his companions. The park has a number of virtual images and interactive so that visitors can sink physically in the world of Harry Potter. Among other things, and who has perhaps exaggerated in the toilet of women can hear the insistent wail of the ghost Moaning Myrtle.
In addition to the attractions, of course, ample shopping and dining, all strictly theme.
