The Smart Travel Guide

The grand opening of Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando, the Harry Potter theme park, took place on Friday when thousands of visitors came to entertain themselves in Florida. Universal is touting the new 20-acre “island” as a “theme park within a theme park.” The Harry Potter Theme Park has a wide range of attractions for its guets, such as Dragon Challenge, which is a racing coaster, Honeydukes, where you can taste the special dessert dishes, like Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans and Chocolate Frogs, Three Broomsticks, the British-style restaurant and above all, the Forbidden Journey will thake its passengers on a simulated flying ride aboard an “enchanted bench” using robotic arms. The characters, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, will take guests soaring above Hogwarts castle, into a quidditch match, and for close encounters with a Dementor, an attacking dragon, and a Whomping Willow.

There are a total of 12 scenes. This are where Wizarding World of Harry Potter is situated on an undiscovered part of the land that has hosted the Lost Continent, hosting two areas the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts castle. The great number of visitors that came in the first day of the opening of Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Florida could be grasped from above, where a very long queue waiting to enter the fairy-tale area overcrowded Harry Potter theme Park. People visiting the park could entertain themselves in Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, two main rides with special effects. If you want to buy a souvenir before the departure, then don’t miss Honeydukes confectionary and Ollivander’s Wand Shop. Radcliffe stated that “What Universal Orlando has done with Harry Potter is really, really fantastic,”. In addition, Zonko’s is the joke store, with items such as Sneakoscopes, or The Owlery, where you can relax and watch the owls roosting in the rafters. Dervish and Banges are an instrument and equipment emporium that will offer Quidditch equipment and Remembralls as part of its wares.


However, an unfortunate incident took place on Thursday evening, when the security guards reported having threatened that a bomb was in the area. As a tip, buy your tickets directly and in advance from Universal Orlando in order to benefit from a discount. Brad Globe, President of Warner Bros claimed that “Harry Potter continues to spark the imaginations of fans of all ages and we really have seen the anticipation continue to build for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.” Just going to the official website, you can choose from a wide range of ticket option prices, from one day, with two park access ($109/adult and $99/ child) to seven days of continuous fun ($169.99/ adult and $149.99/child).

The Wizarding World brings the popular Harry Potter books and movies to life with rides, shops and detailed reproductions of the fictitiousvillage of Hogsmeade, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the steam-belching Hogwarts Express train.
