    The staff do an incredible job at making you feel apart of the magic. When I was walking through Kings Cross a staff member approached me and asked me what I was holding (a wand I purchased). I told him a wand and he was like what? At first I was completely confused like ummm you work here how do you not know what this is? Then I remembered he was a muggle and in character. It made the experience that much more special 😊

    This my childhood in 4 minutes. They really made this attraction truly immersive. The movement of the train beneath you, the visuals, the pepper's ghost effect for 9 3/4, Hedwig's animatronic....What's even better is the blank stares of confusion you get when you ask ANY of the cast members where platform 9 3/4 is. It's so consistently immersive. They really brought it to life.

    Seeing this video is one thing. But being there is completely another. When I was taking the ride from hogsmeade to diagon alley, I got to see the faces of the people who just had the experience seen in this video. And there were so many misty eyes. I don’t blame them, because I teared up massively as well arriving at hogsmeade station.
    It’s so stinking magical, words can’t do it justice. They made the Harry Potter universe come to life with these two theme parks.

They could be a whole lot of different section to the wizard world such as a bigger diagon alley, a hogwarts castle that we can actually browse through, a forbidden forest, Azkaban prison etc. also add a theme of fantastic beast across from hogwarts like they did to Disney California across from Disneyland.

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 6 років тому +15

      It actually sort of works as transit, because it connects the backs of the parks, and otherwise it's quite a hike to get from one end to the other. But only if the lines are short (when I rode it, it was a week when few states were on school vacation, and they were nearly nonexistent).
      Aside from being a way to hawk park-to-park admission, it fills an important niche: it's a big signature Harry Potter ride for people who are too timid or little for Gringotts or Forbidden Journey.

I think they did an incredible job replicating King’s Cross from the outside, and while the inside looks a little less like its real-life counterpart, I can see they did the best possible job with the space they had.
