The Wizarding World is AMAZING and you'll absolutely love it. 1. No, it's not a roller coaster.
Have you been on Soarin' in Walt Disney World? It's kind of like that. If you haven't been on it, here's a small description: it's like a flight simulator.
You sit on a seat with about three other people, and you lift off the ground and are taken through various rooms with movie screens or animatronics/special effects. So it really feels like you're flying through scenes in the movies! Some of it is freaky, but it's not bad.
And you can always close your eyes. It's so much fun. Plus the queue for the ride goes through a bunch of rooms in Hogwarts castle.
2. Yes, you have to get picked specifically to be a part of the show at Ollivander's. I've heard that they generally choose super Harry Potter fanatics or small children to have a wand choose them.
The line for Ollivander's is ALWAYS very long, so if you ask me, it's not even worth it. You go in with a group of people and they only choose one person. I say skip it.
You can always buy a wand somewhere else. Which brings us to the next question... 3. Wands are typically between $25 and $30, no matter what wand you choose.
You'll find them in Durvish & Banges (which also always has a super long line), the Universal Studios store in City Walk, as well as the Universal Studios store at the Orlando International Airport. So if you'd rather think about it before you buy it, you'll have another chance to purchase a wand at the airport. 4.
Dragon Challenge. They're supposedly the exact same coaster, although I've heard the red version is a little more intense. Now that I think about it, it seemed that way to me when I rode it.
But they're both extremely fun! 5. It's AWESOME.
Look at it this way: there's only so much they could do with the space they had. It's a very small space, but there's a lot of stuff. They also paid very close attention to detail.
For example, Ollivander's is in Diagon Alley, right? So when faced with this question, designers said it was a branch store. There's also an ATM machine that is connected to Gringotts, so that's cool!
Trust me, you won't be let down. You'll be waiting on a lot of lines, but it's worth it (except for Ollivander's, unless you really want to go there). The only disappointment I had was Zonko's.
As soon as you leave Honeyduke's, you enter Zonko's, and it's pretty lame. It's tiny and there's not much to do. Honeydukes, on the other hand, is amazing.
Wait until later, like an hour or so before the park closes, to go there. The line isn't as long to get in. And you'll be able to find chocolate frogs and other candies in the other stores I mentioned above.
6. Here's the link to the official Harry Potter merchandise from Universal Studios: http://www.universalorlando.com/merchand... A piece of advice: when you get to Islands of Adventure (I assume you'll be going relatively early to get a head start) do NOT go to the Wizarding World first. Everyone has the same idea: get to that section early so it won't be as crazy.
However, since everyone is thinking this, EVERYONE will be there early. Also, keep in mind that Islands of Adventure opens an hour early for guests of the three Universal Studios Orlando Resort hotels. Unless you're staying in one of them, remember that when you get into the park, hotel guests will already be in there so it'll already be busy.
So save the Wizarding World for later (like late afternoon or evening) and do everything else in the park first. Chances are, those other things won't be as crazy. Don't forget to try the Butterbeer!
The frozen version is the best. Have fun!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
