6-25-2015 - Wizarding World West Update

Today we have another Wizarding World of Harry Potter update as the project continues to chug along for it's 2016 opening. 

Track for Flight of the Hippogriff looks to be almost completed and the castle continues to be revealed. 

We'll also take a look at a few other things around the park.

We'll of course start off with the entry arch to Hogsmeade.

Flight of the Hippogriff. 

Wonder if they are going to do anything with the office building right there prior to the land opening. 

The other side of Hogwarts

Hippogriff looks much different than the Universal Orlando version.

The new retail/dining location is moving along very quickly and the frame now looks to be completed. 

A new Minions Scavenger Hunt has been added for the kids in advance of the new Minions Movie. 

We love the Minions and can't wait for the new movie. It looks like silly fun. 

More HHN progress down by Jurassic Park. 

Also, of note, even though it hasn't been "officially" cancelled, when we passed the CSI sets one of the stages was completely gutted. If the show is not coming back it will be interesting to see if these stages are used for Halloween Horror Nights. 

Some Jurassic World merchandise has made it's way out to the park, will be interesting to see how much more is added over the next weeks/months as the movie continues to make boatloads of money. 

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. 

We're entering our "off season" and going to be taking a break from parks over the next few weeks so we aren't sure when we'll have our next update.
