Harry Potter Theme Park Set to Open Spring 2010
The recent host of adverts for the brand new Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida, have whipped up a frenzy of excitement and anticipation in Harry Potter fans all over the world. The theme park is scheduled to open in Spring this year, and as Universal have still not announced an exact date for the opening, Harry Potter fans are waiting with baited breath.
The official website for the Orlando based theme park allows users the opportunity to have a virtual tour of the park, using a combination of real life images, and computer generated images, showing what the park will look like when it is fully completed. Millions of internet users across the globe have already logged on to the site for a sneak peak of what they can expect from this exciting new theme park, which for many will be the highlight of a holiday in Orlando.
As you would expect of a theme park, there will be various rides and rollercoaster's, such as the "Dragon Challenge" which is aimed at thrill seekers, and the more family orientated "Flight of the Hippogriff" which will be tame enough for younger fans of the Harry Potter books and movies.
As well as rides, there will be themed shops and restaurants, serving food and sweets inspired by the Harry Potter series such as "Honeydukes" which sells chocolate frogs, and a British themed restaurant named "Three Broomsticks". You can even send your mail at the theme park and letters will be stamped with a certified Hogsmeade postmark!
Orlando holidays are already every child's dream, full of magic, fun, fantasy and excitement; however the new Harry Potter theme park is likely to be the icing on the cake for some children, desperate to see the fantasy world of Harry Potter come to life. Already, around 1 million people from Britain visit Orlando, Florida each year, a figure which is likely to rise even further once the Harry Potter theme park adverts reach British television!
