Universal Studios Orlando- Diagon Alley Construction

 Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Diagon Alley Construction- Scaffolding comes down.

 Orlando Theme Park News has some amazing new photos up of the construction at Universal Studios Orlando and their newest project- Diagon Alley.

 This newest addition which has raised up with shocking speed is replacing the former JAWS attraction. The area will feature both Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley from the Harry Potter books and is Universals newest addition to their "Wizarding World of Harry Potter".

 While it looks simply lovely up close, something about this bothers me.

 Orlando Theme Park News is rather famous for having some amazing panoramic images from the theme parks but looking at this one, the flow is bugging me. It doesn't seem to fit, like to much is crammed together with too many styles. I understand their trying to convey London into a very small space, and maybe it IS just me, but I think this may look nicer from across the lagoon if the outside was more uniform.

 Either way, for more photos of the construction of Diagon Alley go check out Orlando Theme Park News. They always have excellent photo updates!

Gasparich Strikes Again- Banbury Cross WILL be Re-themed in 2014

 Scott Gasparich  Satan Strikes Again. This time at Banbury Cross.

 This man is the devil, I'm telling you folks, someone check him for horns!

...This broke my brain and my heart.

 The beautiful entrance area of Busch Gardens Williamsburg is No More. The area of Banbury Cross will be re-themed to 1960's London to go along with the new stage show, London Rocks. London Rocks will be located in the Globe Theater for 2014.

 In a press release, Gasparich said the following:
The entire English village inside Busch Gardens is getting a makeover to go with the new show. The Globe is being redesigned to take advantage of the latest technology in lighting, audio and stage design, including the use of projection mapping, ear-bending sonic soundscapes and a raked stage similar to performance stages used in European opera houses. Outside, the village will be decked out with new life and energy that embraces the roots of rock-n-roll with feelings of love, hope and freedom.
“Guests will feel the thrills and excitement of being rock stars in the heyday of rock-n-roll London as they walk through Busch Gardens’ English village,”.


 Please prepare yourselves folks, the Red and Blue paint is coming. 
I'm really hoping it's not going to be that bad but after seeing the other chaos which has replaced once great shows, I'm not holding out for much surprise now that he's getting his hands on a 'land' of the park.
