![]() ![]() It's even been said on another blog site that Diagon Alley/Hogsmeade is worth the price of admission on its own - and can keep a family entertained for an entire day. But if they don't - if the JP expansion is 'just' as good as, say, Transformers,will they be praised for what would anywhere else be a great attraction or slated for not being as good as we know they can be? So have they created a rod for their own back?Ģ) By all accounts Diagon Alley is now in a different league to every other attraction in Universal, even Hogsmeade. But now they've shown us this level of immersion, this level of detail, this level of theming, this amount of CARE in an environment, will everything else they ever do be judged against this? In which case I can't wait for Jurassic Park/Kong/whatever to arrive. It sounds as if Universal have created the Holy Grail of theme park experiences and I look forward to visiting it in a few year's time when the crowds have died down a bit!ġ) A poster above hinted at this but the first question that raises itself to me is 'how will Universal be able to follow this?' And I don't mean just more Harry Potter. I'm particularly pleased that Universal seem have learnt the lessons of incoherence from Forbidden Journey and crafted a much stronger, coherent narrative. Every single theme park blogger who was there this week is praising it to the skies. It's not only Robert who is praising Diagon Alley.
