Harry Potter theme park

I just read that universal will be opening a Harry Potter theme park in a theme park at Universal Islands of Adventure for 2009, it sounds pretty cool, just thought I'd let anyone know who didn't already know

I can't wait to see it! They are going to create a Hogsmead (sp?) too! This is going to be really . I think we'll wait to go see it because I can just imagine how packed it will be when it first opens.

Universal has not released an official opening date. The website says "Late 2009/early 2010".

I have heard it is, so far, leaning more towards the "early 2010" side.

That's when we are planning our next vacation. We usually don't do Universal, but this will be a must! We'll still stay at Disney, but we have to see Harry Potter world!

The website still says "scheduled to debut in 2009" but like I said earlier, I have heard it is looking more towards early 2010.

Here is the site for anyone who hasn't seen it yet: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Universal Orlando Resort

I have to say that the best way to see Universal is by staying onsite - getting "front of the line" access to the rides is priceless!

I know, I can't wait either! I have been checking out the site, and since they don't have anything listed yet in the way of attractions... I am thinking that it will be closer to 2010, too.

I agree - or it may partially open in late 2009 with not all the attractions operating. But probably 2010 for everything to be up and running.

I'm still sad that the Enchanted Oak Restaurant has closed for the construction - I really loved to chill out inside the big oak!

I agree, especially since The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is bound to be very popular.
