I wish we could get the great hall as a dining experience 😍

Absolutely wild that Universal was able to make the SCOOP vehicle for a 1999 ride. Those vehicles still feel so amazing during the two rides in Orlando.

The other two Harry Potter lands are full of merch areas. This will be interesting because I can’t imagine putting merch inside the ministry

[christopherstanhope]

I’m surprised universal has not jumped on making a Harry Potter themed resort using the 4 houses as room themes.

The Scoop vehicle and the Kuka Arm are Universal’s greatest ride innovations ever. Great to see that they’re being used in the new park!

The trial could be a waiting room in the queue. Everyone sits in the room for the trial with actors, then when she escapes we have to evacuate using the elevators and then the ride begins.

It would be interesting to see an animatronic zoo for Fantastic Beasts. With the entrance being Newt’s suitcase and going underground

Man when you ride on a ride it must be a complete different experience for you knowing how all the moving parts really work

[ratbones]

The wait for Epic Universe is killing me! If we’re getting everything promised, it could very well be the best theme park in Orlando when it opens.

As much as I'll miss that trackless dark ride potential, I do think utilizing the vehicles from Spider-Man would be a great call, if true. It really is a great ride system & has so much potential

[coastercapital]

I think this would be a good fit at USF because they already have the London waterfront. But I can understand that their is limited space. It just seems a bit strange to be going to the British ministry when you were in Paris. I am sure universal will ace it though and Disney’s going to actually have to compete again.

[ianswanson]

A trackless Harry Potter ride/dark ride is exactly what Universal needs. They need stuff for younger audiences too remember. Who would say no to a more detailed Harry Potter ride than ever?!

[haventesla]

They need to find a way to incorporate this at USF - it makes more sense when they already have an area there that's themed to London and Diagon Alley, as opposed to situating a British Ministry in another country! It would also solve the problem of Diagon Alley lacking a second attraction (and the park as a whole having a weaker slate of attractions). This could be the boost in the arm USF needs. Keep Epic Universe's Wizarding World themed to Paris and the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

God, it makes no sense to have this attraction in EU as opposed to in Studios. They already have London in Studios, and the space where Fear Factor is is HUGE. Are we going to walk around in France and then arrive at the British ministry of magic somehow? Doesn't really make any sense...

[JBThrills]

Love the constant news about this park thanks to you 😁 thank for doing this

[cmike.skywalker]

I really hope they give the Ministry-elevator ride more of a thrilling concept (like Tower of Terror). I love a highly themed drop tower attraction, there’s just so much room for potential. I’d still prefer to see the British ministry in Universal Studios as well, for the sake of consistency since we already have London over there (plus Studios is really lacking when it comes to exciting rides, they need something good over there).

[discoyetiproductions]

This actually sounds awesome as long as they don't rely on screens. Kinda wish they'd put it in USF since it's really lacking in non screen rides but this works as well. Also sounds way better than that vr broomstick idea

[vandersonvalley]

I have mixed feelings about this. I was hoping for more thrills in this ride, the opportunity to see one of the best scenes in the franchise realized (the only one he ever feared), and really cool physical sets. I feel like the trackless ride should have been the way to go. Especially to go through the department of mysteries. However, I HOPE my hesitation are obliterated with an amazing attraction when it opens.

Please give us department of mysteries, a beautiful atrium, and the best wizard battle.

I'm excited for Epic Universe. I just hope Universal is taking a good look at the mistakes Disney is making. I already lost Disney, I don't want to lose Universal as well.
