Well, we rode the Dragon Challenge and did a few shops. Oh, and I sent some postcards from the Owl Post and took lots of pictures. The line was too long for Butterbeer, but I don't think I could drink a lot of it anyway...they say it's really sweet. It was awesome to see though...I'd love to go back.

what's the dragon challenge? a rollercoaster?

and yeah... I don't think I could drink it. Just the name sounds sweet ;-).

Yes, it's a rollercoaster. It's actually two coasters that intertwine and it seems like they almost collide. It used to be called Dueling Dragons, and they revamped it for Harry Potter.

ahhhhh. very clever :-). This might be a silly question, but is the Harry Potter stuff permanent? or is it only going to be around for a few years or something like that?

It's permanent. Or at least for the next ten years or so...I think I read that they had a ten year contract, but I imagine they would extend it at the end of it. With all the money they spent, I can't imagine they would ever close it.

how much did they spend? (I really know almost nothing about it, only that they built it ;-))

Wow, I don't know how much exactly, but I know it was at least in the millions. It's totally realistic though...the detail is amazing. I have pictures posted on facebook if you want to see it.

The Simpsons is a simulation ride...and it's actually pretty awesome. Seuss Landing is pretty self explanatory...it's a whole part of the park that is dedicated to Dr Seuss. I love it!

maybe I'll wait to go til people aren't as into harry potter ;-) lol!

Yeah, it was pretty crowded, though the HP part is small. It's supposed to be just like a little village, so there isn't really a lot of room.

wow... you're right... the detail is amazing!
