(Rumor) New Potter Attraction to Replace Fear Factor Live?

It was an idea. Not a rumor.

Ah ok. My apologies. It does sound like something really neat.

Definitely. Sounded like a better use to me than the Zelda thing too.

Thought someone here had mentioned something of the puzzle theater concept being used for a trial scene in the MoM, in a way reminiscent of Alien Encounter.

That was me. And something I thought up. Mainly because the first time I saw the patent I immediately thought it looked amazingly similar to the courtrooms in the MoM. Then it showed up in some Zelda concept art and having played quite a few Zelda games, I can't recall ever seeing anything that looks like that in any of the games. So I still think the patent is for Potter, though probably never happen.

Personally, it’s the ride system I would’ve chosen for the Monsters E ticket.

I don’t think a puzzle theater attraction would really be an e-ticket, but would be a neat way to spice up a show for sure, or a really special preshow that’s kind of a ride itself.

You may be right, unfortunately I think such an attraction--puzzle theatre Alien Encounter, with the CMs--would be very misunderstood by today's audiences ("It wasn't even a real ride!" "Why couldn't you see the Monsters for most of the time? Cheap!").

So is whatever comes here going to connect to Diagon or be a separate building?

My guess is separate building. What everyone thinks is a door to expansion is actually emergency access and a queue would block backstage functions.

Yea. I was thinking they just continue London facades, with a themed gate between. But gives a continuous look to London.

And for those asking, I believe the Amity bathrooms get to stay, yes.

Myrtle franchise adds a new location to Amity Bathrooms. 'Myrtle Moans Too (Two)'. O:

I think they could move this stuff around back there (there’s actually lots of room as is to move things back a bit), but I agree until I see otherwise that it won’t be directly connected.

Did I miss a thread somewhere. What is going on? Are we not doing Harry Potter at EU?

Potter is happening in EU but to hold over till the park opens/fulfill a contract/i dunno they wanted to, they're moving the VR broom ride from EU to USF. Other attractions will remain at EU.

Man, I can't wait for regular construction updates to start again.

ICON Park's slingshot/drop tower is about the only thing happening other than TRON.

Last I heard, Fear Factor demo starts in November. Shrek starts in January (after the holiday rush).

Until they have another last minute change of plans...

Hopefully it (FearFactor) doesn't get sidetracked the last minute like it did when they cancelled Nintendo at Kidzone Kurse at the last minute, even surprising Woodbury....EDIT: .@GAcoaster beat me to it by a millisecond.

Come on, now. Don't get my hopes up like that!
