by Dallas Thompson As most of you should know by now, Universal Orlando is expanding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter into their Universal Studios Florida park with Diagon Alley. Let's take a look at their plans, or at least what we know so far, and what I consider to be the Top 5 new experiences coming to Diagon Alley. 5. nEW GIFT SHOPS IN HOGSMEADE / THE HOGSMEADE EXPANSIONAs you probably know, the shops of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade have proved to be surprisingly the most popular element of the whole land. Zonko's has been one of the most popular, yet..Universal Orlando is getting rid of it for a reason we will mention soon. Rumor has it that they will be expanding Honeydukes and making a completely new shop, though none of this is officially confirmed. 4. New gift shops in diagon alleyAs with Hogsmeade, there are going to be many merchandise oppurtunities including an Ice Cream Parlor and a new prank shop, Weasly's Wizard Wheeses (Excuse My Spelling of that). I expect these shops to be very entertaining. 3. the hogwarts expressWhat most people are most excited about, is The Hogwarts Express, but to be honest, I'm not too psyched about it This will be the first attraction in the world to connect to parks together, and it will "take guests on an epic journey". Maybe I'll be more excited about it when more information is released. 2. Knockturn alleyThis, I am VERY excited about. Just recently, It was announced that the creepy Knockturn Alley would be coming to Diagon Alley. I am a huge fan of Halloween, and would love to see a year-round haunted house in Knockturn Alley. I do know that there will be a gift shop, of course. 1. harry potter and the scape from gringottsThis looks like this will be flat-out amazing. Universal describes this ride as "a multi-sensory, multi-dimensional journey that will take theme park attractions to a new level. The thrill ride will place riders in the middle of an incredible adventure as they navigate their way through the perils of the Gringotts vaults." They are saying this will be better than Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which has to be one of my all-time-favorite rides. There are many other elements coming to this new area that I don't have the space to list, I'll be back more frequently with more Top 5 posts for Theme Parks Buzz in the future and stay tuned for my thoughts on Diagon Alley coming this summer to Universal Orlando.
