Hi kids,
Have you heard the news??? Harry Potter is coming to Orlando!!
Harry Potter will soon be working his wizardry in Florida with a 20-acre attraction that could spawn Hogwarts castles at theme parks worldwide. On Thursday, Warner Bros. Entertainment and Universal Orlando Resort took the wraps off the $200 million-plus "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter."
The park will be a land at Universal's Islands of AdventureDisney. In 2005, Disney had a shot at landing the Potter theme park rights, but is said to have balked at the deal largely because of cost. In building a major attraction around bestselling children's books, Universal is borrowing from the playbook of the late Walt Disney, who in the early years of Disneyland used theme park rides to bring to life characters from such tales as "Pinocchio," "Sleeping Beauty" and "Peter Pan.""This is as good as it gets. ... Cinderella's Castle for the first time has a rival -- and it's Hogwarts Castle."
Love,
Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted
