Universal Studios Orlando- Possible Diagon Alley Opening Date

Universal Studios Orlando- Possible Opening Date for Diagon Alley.

 During a Thursday press conference the Chairman of Lowes Hotels, Johnathan Tisch mentioned a possible opening date for Universal Studios Orlando's newest expansion of their Harry Potter Franchise.

 "Mid-June" is the time frame which was dropped, be it accidentally or on purpose. This fits into the known time-line from Universal Orlando who simply has "Summer of 2014" listed as the opening time frame for Diagon Alley.  This also ties into the same general time frame in which Hogsmeade Village, located in Islands of Adventure opened.

 Universal is not commenting on this, choosing to only say that they have not yet announced anything about an opening day.

 More info is expected next week, when Universal Orlando will reveal more details about the Gringotts ride and possibly the Diagon Alley expansion.

Something Weird- Monorail Red for Sale?!

 Ever wanted to own your very own Disney World Monorail?

 Well, Now you can. Theme Park Connection has somehow gotten their hands on a Mark IV, Monorail Red from Disney World circa 1989.

 From the eBay Auction Listing this monorail is complete, it just lacks it's additional cabs and track to run upon. It does come with it's very own trailer for transport back to you. One has to pick up this amazing piece of Disney World history but it's much better then what the shipping cost would likely be!

 The downside, is the price. This unique and original Monorail will set the hard-core WDW fan back a pretty $200K.  While not a bad price, it's well beyond the means of even the most die-hard fans. Although it does look like their willing to take best offers, I don't see this going cheaply!
