| | |  200 foot-high ride inside Hogwarts at Harry Potter theme park? (UPDATED)
Screamscape is reporting that a 200-plus foot-high ride will be featured inside the halls of Hogwarts castle at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida: Quote:
As many have suspected, this confirms that the big new ride will be placed inside the massive Hogwarts castle that is currently under construction. From what I’ve heard the ride system is already on site, but locked away in a massive warehouse somewhere protected by guards likely with orders to shoot first and ask questions later. Once the ride portion of the castle is finished and walled in, they will begin to move in the pieces and build it up away from prying eyes until they are ready to make the big announcement.
Please treat this as a rumour until confirmed.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opens in 2010.
Source: UHP UPDATE: There is a further report that a middle-aged man has been cast in the role of a professor. Quote:
According to a Screamscape source one of the Hollywood casting sheets has posted a rather interesting casting choice looking for a SAG actor for a “Project Strongarm” shoot for a “Theme Park Attraction”. The shoot will only last 1 day in mid November, but they’re looking to shoot a British professor role (Male 50s – 70s) who will be “A friendly, welcoming professor who greets new students enthusiastically. This character appears as one element of a Harry Potter theme park attraction.”

Wow. That ride is going to be so cool, even if it is or isn't 200 feet high. The theme park is going to look amazing when it is done. Which means a roadtrip for me in the future!

|  So awesome!
That rides is going to be so awesome. I wonder if they are going to re-create a scene in the Harry Potter movies that involves brooms inside the caslte. Like in the fifth movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when the Weasley twins fly in while the fifth years are taking their O.W.L.S under the watchful eyes of Professor Umbridge. That would be so cool. What they really need to do is make a ride to simulate Quidditch! That would be the best ride in the WORLD! I can't wait until the castle is done. It's going to look amazing!
