After investing into its Universal Resort in Orlando, Florida, Comcast is increasing spending at Universal Studios Hollywood, unveiling a smattering of new attractions that — when combined with previously announced sections devoted to Harry Potter and “Despicable Me” — will remake 70 percent of the California park by 2016. When Universal Orlando opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter four years ago, that resort went from an also-ran to a must-visit almost overnight. Year-on-year attendance shot up 30 percent as families swarmed the snow-capped shops of Hogsmeade and rode three Potter-themed rides. To prepare for a similar surge here — a Wizarding World will open at this hilltop park in 2016 — Comcast’s NBCUniversal is adding thousands of parking spaces, spending about $100 million to improve transit and planning two 500-room hotels. But those efforts are crumbs compared to what is planned inside the gates. gallery: Wizarding World Going to Hollywood 2011 AnnoucementWhat are you most Excited about Wizarding World of harry Potter Hollywood?
