As promised, Universal Orlando just revealed the highly anticipated opening date for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – June 18th 2010.
The opening date announcement also revealed some more information on the biggest secret in theme park rides – Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. This ride is described as the “first-ever combination of advanced robotic ride system technology with innovative, immersive filmmaking”
Sounds impressive, and according to Universal, this is part ride, part robot – which certainly makes it sound like the kind of ride I could really enjoy.
Our friend Jason Cochran from Walletpop sat down with Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative, who is the lead brain in charge of developing Universal’s attractions for an interview. The interview is a “must read” for any Harry Potter fans, as it explains in detail how the theme park experience will be – which is as close as you can get to it until June 18th.
