Yahoo Finance has revealed that the expansion of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, FL will open in Spring 2014 via an interview with Steve Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal.
Thanks to SnitchSeeker we know that Burke previously mentioned that Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort hotel (scheduled to open on Match 31st) will open before the Diagon Alley expansion, meaning the expansion will likely open in April or May.
The Harry Potter park is currently at Islands of Adventure while Diagon Alley is in the Universal Studios park. So you will literally take the Hogwarts Express from Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade!
The second attraction is in the other gate and the way you get from one gate to the second gate as you take a train and the train is the Hogwarts Express. And so, the actual transition or the movement from one gate to another gate is part of the attraction which is never been done before and it’s a wonderful creative idea, that opens next spring.
Thanks to LeakyNews for the tip!
