‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ will open in California, USA’s Universal Studios Hollywood in northern Spring 2016.
The arrival of the West Coast’s most-anticipated entertainment experience and the introduction of the land’s signature attraction, ‘Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey’ in 3D-HD has been five years in the making.
Inspired by author J.K Rowling’s stories and characters and Warner Bros’ films, the new attraction will deliver the same authenticity and story telling found at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Japan and is expected to attract Harry Potter fans and visitors from all over the globe.
Visitors will experience a fully-immersive themed land that brings the Harry Potter fiction and films to life with detail and precision. It will be faithful to the visual landscape of the fiction and films including Hogwarts castle, which will serve as its iconic focal point.
“Harry Potter has captivated the world’s attention across every media, from books and movies to exhilarating theme park adventures,” said Larry Kurzweil, president of Universal Studios Hollywood. “Universal Studios Hollywood is thrilled to bring our guests a new, compelling experience as we embark on this next chapter in our storied history.”
Like its counterparts, Hogwarts castle will sit at the heart of the attraction, where the land’s signature ride, ‘Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey’ will take guests to many memorable scenes featuring Harry, Ron and Hermione. Travelling by Floo powder, guests will soar high above Hogwarts, partake in a Quidditch match, narrowly escape a dragon attack and have a close encounter with the Whomping Willow.
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey features pioneering theme park ride technology featuring a ground breaking robotic ride system, filmed action sequences and immersive visceral effects. Wearing Quidditch-inspired 3D goggles, guests will venture through journeys experienced by Harry and his friends, spiralling and pivoting 360-degrees along an elevated ride track on a whirlwind adventure of a lifetime.
Also within The Wizard World of Harry Potter, the family coaster ‘Flight of the Hippogriff will debut as Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor coaster.
