Universal Studios Orlando will be making a big announcement on March 25th regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, currently being constructed at Islands of Adventure. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Universal will be announcing an official opening date to replace the vague ‘Spring 2010.’
Among the new and exciting details will be updated information about Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, the very much anticipated dark ride residing in Hogwarts Castle. Both Potterheads and theme park enthusiasts are super excited about the alleged Kuka Robocoaster element that should add quite the exhilarating effect to an already magical theme.
Universal Studios recently released a new image of the Hogwarts Express:
The Hogwarts Express arrives at Hogsmeade Station as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter continues to develop at Universal Orlando Resort. As guests enter Hogsmeade, they will be greeted by the iconic, smoke-billowing steam engine, made famous in the Harry Potter books and films for transporting students to a world of magic and wonder.

Just as usual you’ve provided some excellent details. Been a lurker on the website for a little bit and needed to give thanks to you for making the effort to publish it.
Very disappointed to learn that the opening date of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is 18th June. The fact that the opening date was advertised as “Spring 2010” caused us to book our family holiday to Florida May 29th to June 11th which even in the UK is considered to be Summer, the details of the opening date were announced far too late for people in our circumstances; flights, car hire and accommodation in Florida for four for two weeks is a big deal. we don’t know when we will be able to afford this kind of trip again and the main reason for our trip was TWWoHP.
