NewsParcs, connecting the theme park industry!
NewsParcs will do a full coverage of the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 in Orlando to have a look at the latest trends and developments of the global theme park industry.
The original project, born from the collaboration between Universal Parks & Resorts, Warner Bros. Entertainment and British author J.K. Rowling, is one of the biggest financial successes of the recent history of theme parks. With an estimated budget of more than $250 million - a risky bet considering that the U.S. economy was at its lowest -, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has literally reinvented the visitor experience by taking advantage of the global phenomenon of the Harry Potter franchise* to create a new standard in immersive themed environments. A creative work that was especially acclaimed by the entire theme park industry for its originality and the quality of its execution.
At the beginning of the summer season, Universal lifted the veil on this expansion, prepared in great secrecy for many months. And once again, Universal will push the boundaries of immersive experience with the construction of a new themed area, this time on the other side of the resort within the second theme park: Universal Studios Florida. While The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is based on the village of Hogsmeade with the majestic Hogwarts castle in the backdrop, the new area will focus on the London streets and, more precisely, the Diagon Alley: a fictional high street that leads to the magical world of the wizards.
