Details Revealed of WWHP Theme Park Features

The Ledger has revealed some interesting details about the features of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This information was imparted by Universal to vacation home managers to inform them of what to expect of the theme park.

The essential details about the attractions are:

The largest ride will be Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

“You'll go on this great journey specifically designed for this part of the park,” Holt said. “It's ground-breaking, state of the art technology that will even surpass the Spiderman ride. If you've been on Spiderman, you know that's pretty big.”

The Dragon Challenge roller coaster ride will allow guests will feel like they're being chased by a dragon. Less intense will be the Flight of the Hippogriff, modeled on the creature that's half-horse and half-eagle.

“This is a family-friendly coaster,” Holt said.

The theme park will host the Three Broomsticks restaurant and the Hog's Head Pub, where Holt said guests can buy “very old liquor, and we'll have animated hog's heads on the wall that will interact with you while you drink your old beer. The Butter Beer is going to be non-alcholic. However, you can go into the Hog's Head Pub and ask for the alcoholic version.”

There will be shops as well, like Honeydukes, a candy store that will sell, among other things, chocolate frogs and Treacle Fudge. Dervish & Banges is a toy store that will sell, not surprisingly, broomsticks among the many selections.

“Ninety-five percent of them are completely unique products,” Holt said. “You will not be able to buy them anywhere else.”

There's a Frog Choir that will perform five times day, Holt said, adding, “This is very top secret, so you're the first one's to hear about it.”

It is also expected that the ticket prices at Universal will not go up with the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
