Universal announces opening date of Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will debut at Universal Studios Hollywood next April, the theme park operator has announced.
Muggles will get a first look at the attraction, which is centered around a signature Hogwarts castle and Hogsmeade Village, from April 7.
It features a 3D ‘Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey’ ride offering guests ‘Quidditch-inspired 3D goggles as they venture through journeys experienced by Harry and his friends,’ said Universal.
It also includes ‘Flight of the Hippogriff,’ Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor rollercoaster.
Five years in the making, it is the fourth Harry Potter land, after twin Wizarding World attractions at Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios in Florida, and Universal Studios, Japan.
