In World Expo, one of the snack booths has been moved to the opposite side of the walkway:
This was its former location:

Any more pictures of the berm area?
ReplyDeleteHow does it look compared to the area? Is it doing a good job of hiding the buildings?
What are the rumors about the Kidzone??
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam!!!

Universal is looking amazing, especially the new London area. I'm so jealous, I won't be able to visit from the UK for a few years.
ReplyDeleteAt lease I have fantastic sites like Orlando park news to keeping me going. I've been following your construction updates from the beginning. Thanks guys!
As for the first anonymous poster: at least give constructive criticism; and please learn to punctuate your sentences properly!!
It looks like an english street? I think that's what they were aiming for. I think it's clear you're not a potter fan, but neither am I and I think it looks fantastic and is a great addition to a park that needed it.
ReplyDeleteAs a real London resident I think all the new facades look amazing. The stations look perfect, even down to the interior signage at King's Cross being the correct colour scheme (blue and orange) and mentioning prams (not strollers!).
ReplyDeleteI also like that they have recreated a cabmans shelter for the refreshment kiosk.
Beautiful update. The London area is looking amazing. Love the Dragon. Hope to visit real soon. Thank you for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt really does look amazing, we are going next year and I can't wait. Regarding the 'looks like a stupid English Street' comment. Really? To me it looks like what it was intended to look like. An extremely well planned and thought out extension to an already amazing Harry Potter World. The fact it looks like an English street means they got it right. So your attempt at an insult, kind of back fired.
ReplyDeleteWell done Orlando Park News on an amazing update.
Thanks to all of you for the kind comments! We love hearing your expressions, especially since many of you live in the ACTUAL city of London. How cool is that? You still get to see your home while on vacation! Or should I say, holiday? :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent update. There's no question it looks great. My only complaint, of which there isn't anything they can do about it, is that you can see other sections of the park from the section you're in. The berm helps but there are so many other buildings (non-themed, or themed for another ride/area) visible, that it pulls you out of the immersion. No other park in the world has the space of Disney World, so it's an unfair comparison, but the separation of "lands" in Magic Kingdom (for example) really creates an immersive experience that no other park can provide. I mean, you're standing looking at the London facade and it looks like you're really there, until you turn around and look across the lake and see Springfield.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm being picky, and stating the obvious, so sorry about that...
Still I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
Great pics! Can't wait to get down there this Summe r and see it for myself. As always, Thank You for all the great photos and updates.
ReplyDeleteThe entrance to Diagonally looks very small to cope with crowds
