Hagrid’s Hut in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter area of Universal Studios Orlando is still quite some time away from opening, as it is not expected to open until sometime in 2010, but there has been news that Hagrid’s Hut can be spotted there already. The rooftop of the structure that is Hagrid’s Hut can supposedly be seen from at least one place at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park. It seems that the Orlando Sentinal did some looking into what it could be. It definitely seems to be Hagrid’s Hut. According to the permits for building the Hut it appears that the hut will be mostly just seen from the outside by the general public. The hut is expected to be used to store props.
It definitely seems that they are going building a lot of the different structures. Some will probably be just for display and make for good photo ops in front of, such as the confirmed Hagrid’s Hut building. There will also be several buildings that have some sort of attraction or themed experience. This includes some of the wizard shops that will have adequately themed items that might not be quite as magical as the real stuff, but still fun. There will also be some restaurants based on places in the books, which will probably include being able to get butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks. There is also to be some rides. I think this includes one that is going to be inside the Hogwarts castle they are going to build. I just hope it is not some roller coaster ride and instead is some dark ride scene ride like a lot of the rides in Fantasyland at Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom, as that would be much more interesting to experience than some thrill ride in my opinion.
