Must be almost time to lose the arch and start over on that entrance way (I hope).

The arch did always come off as a bit cheap.

It was going to be hard to follow the amazing Dueling Dragons statues, no matter what the entrance looked like.

I meant like compared to other buildings in Hogsmeade it was just really flat but what you said is also true. Who knows, maybe they always planned to get rid of it one day and focused more of the budget towards everything else on purpose.

That’s a good point. Dragons received a fairly light re-theme. Even Hippogriff was transformed more when Potter moved in. Dragons mostly lost themed elements from the queue.

I definitely agree and hope that the entrance gets redone. Never understood why the arch was included in other versions of Hogsmeade... hopefully that isn't a sign that it's going be sticking around here for the new ride.

Maybe they needed to sell some butterbeer first.......

They knew Dragons was leaving when Hogmeade was built.

So the rumor of J.K. Rowling wanting it gone from day 1 has weight to it then.

No, replacing Dragons was part of the plan from the beginning, as was Diagon Alley going where Jaws was.

I miss Jaws

Interesting, I always thought the death warrant was sealed when the metal detectors went in. Very interesting.

Dave's (Disneyhead) long range blue sky/project ideas info is without parallel among insiders. Always pay attention to it. :thumbsup:

Will the new Potter Coaster have metal detectors?

Probably not. Same as Gringotts: no bags or loose articles, but stuff in your pockets is fine.

Probably.

The locker system is terrible. We should invent a bin conveyor system that matches up with your spot loading and unloading. Totally inaccessible until your RV coming back into the station.

Streamline it baby!!!

Pretty sure Universal actually patented that idea (or maybe it was Disney?) Don’t have it in front of me at the moment though.
