What Do People Think About The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter?

So far it would seem there have been a lot of mixed messages on what people think of the new land opened up in Islands Of Adventure within Universal Studios. Here is a brief summary of what people are saying.

Not Enough Rides

This makes perfect sense to me and although I have actually not been to the land yet I could have bet money on people saying this. Despite there being three rides within the land, Universal have only really created one and simply redesigned two older rides to fit in with the Harry Potter universe. A lot of fans are a bit annoyed with this as Universal have had plenty of time to plan for new rides to be put in place.

On a positive it would seem the fan reaction to the ride Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey has been a good one which is encouraging for me when I arrive there in mid September.

Too Many Shops

Again I cannot say I am surprised with this one either as Universal along with Disney are always keen to make as much money back from their investments as possible. Again although this might be initially a bad thing I am hoping that over the years more rides will start to pop up and take the shops over in quantity.

There is once again a positive to the early negative in that the fans have generally been pleased with what the shops are selling which is great, I really hope they have things like extendable ears and other things right.

Harry Potter Restaurants

The last problem that is cropping up is that the restaurants are selling very typical English food. Whilst I come from England I cannot think of the last time I ate shepherd’s pie or a trifle. It makes sense to change the menu a bit to make it a bit more, well, magical!

The overall reaction to the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter has been good and whilst there have been a few negatives there were always going to be and I am almost certain that they will be improved upon!
