Heaven help us - the books are bad enough.
I'm fair looking forward to the last book. Only 3 months fron today - Woohoo!
Seriously though, why set a Harry Potter Theme Park in America?? If it should be anywhere, it should be here in Scotland.
Theme Parks are big business in the States. They know how to build and market them. So they could advise us, but I think it should be a Scottish venture. I think JK would prefer that too. Think of the tourist industry!
But it would have to be done right! No watering down of the books or the rides and exhibits. It would be thrilling and exciting for kids - and a few adults!
Is there no billionaire business person in THIS country willing to take it on? Do these things ALWAYS have to be in America??
#2 Boy Wonder I love HP too but only Americans would go to a HP theme park, unless heavily disguised that is.Though as it'll be 'over there' it might be a subtle plot to force you to upgrade your passport.
What a load of Trash,Clutching at straws or what,Why does America have to get into the act.
I feel that the idea of a "Potter World" is nothing but pure brilliance! As for the rest of you, you're just jealous that the park is going to be built over here in the States!
#1 -somerferg - "Heaven help us - the books are bad enough."
How do you know?
If you read the first one and it was bad, why did you then waste time reading the others? Haven't you got anything better to do?
Or are you just talking tripe?
#5 Kinda i would have expected from across the pond,Nope we aint of, Delighted that you have got all the trash where it belongs,The U.S. of A,Plastic garbage.
I think that they should put the park in Englandwhere we can get to it insted of having 2 go 2 the States.
#7, Calm down! My point being that the "idea of Potter world is great." Who cares where it is built. The best place for it ideally would be England; however that is not the case. It seems that because the park is not being built in Scotland, it’s a crappy idea. Nobody said a single thing about your country-good or bad so just back off! Oh one more thing, off is spelled with two ff. If your are gonna throw insults at least spell them right!
Yay Harry! I DO wish it would be in Scotland tho.... :(
I am really excited about this..if it does end up happening. I'm about 500 miles away from Universal, so it would be cheaper for me to go there than some other theme park. It does suck that a Harry Potter theme park isn't going to be located where Harry Potter originated. But...there are Harry Potter fans here too! It would seriously suck (for me) if it was built in Scotland or the UK because I would probably never be able to visit it.If you've ever been there, Islands of Adventure is REALLY awesome with their different "lands" and I think a Harry Potter area would fit in quite nicely. They have "Toon Lagoon," "Lost Continent," "Marvel Super Hero Island," "Jurassic Park," and "Seuss Landing." I'm not sure what they would call the Harry Potter area... my first guess would be "Hogwarts"...but what does everyone think?
oh and somerferg, no one's forcing you to go to the theme park OR read Harry Potter...
i do think that JK would much rather have it in Scotland or in the UK but you have to think of it as a money maker for her. If she has it here in Florida that is more money she is making every year. I mean there are a lot of people that come on holiday from the UK and all over the world. And just to let you know from me working at Universal Islands of Adventure it would be a great idea to have it here. and just as the news has reported EVERYTHING IS STILL IN THE WORKS NOTHING IS FINAL..
People! The reason most theme park locations are chosen is WEATHER. These places cost millionsupon millions. They have investors. They stayopen year round. Would you like to go on a roller coaster ride in the rain and cold? If thatwould even be a posibility due to safety issues.Not every ride can be built indoors. How is theweather in Scotland? or England? I would loveto visit as I heard these countries are beautiful.But really, don't you think rich people in thosecountries ever thought about amusement parks?Why are there none? WEATHER!!
