It sounds great, like everybody's going to meet the cast--but in reality--NO WAY!!!

If the park was as big as Disney World--they might be able to accommodate
all those ppl--but Wizarding World is just too small. I can see them taking over the Jurassic Park and Lost World of Atlantis areas in the future. Those
attractions are just lame.

I was there opening day and from the sounds of this, this is going to be WAY different. For opening day, they didn't sell tickets like this, if you had a Universal pass or just bought a ticket for that day, you were allowed in and the only bit of control they had was letting people in as people left. My best friend and I left after only a few hours because we needed something to drink and the lines were too long inside the Wizarding World. But this seems pretty organized with the limited tickets and all that, so hopefully it won't be such a crazy mass. Not sure how they are going to separate the regular crowds from the special event, though...
