There are several rumors
circulating the internet that a 200 foot-high ride will be featured inside the halls of Hogwarts at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park
.
As many have suspected, this confirms that the big new ride will be placed inside the massive Hogwarts castle that is currently under construction. From what I’ve heard the ride system is already on site, but locked away in a massive warehouse somewhere protected by guards likely with orders to shoot first and ask questions later. Once the ride portion of the castle is finished and walled in, they will begin to move in the pieces and build it up away from prying eyes until they are ready to make the big announcement.
Please treat this as a rumor at the moment, we shall try to receive confirmation on this as soon as possible.

Hmmm... well this wouldn't be the first time a "rumour" turned out to be baloney, but it would definitely be cool if they built some kind of rollercoaster ride inside the castle. It would be amazing if one part of it went "through the trapdoor"!

I hope it is not a scary ride. I have a phobia with rides. It would be cool to use the ride as a tour around the castle....that would be so much fun! (Well to me anyway).

Hm...I dont know wether this is cool or not so much, maybe they should stick more to the books. There isnt something like that in the castle, but then again, maybe it is going to be great. We`ll see. Maybe its going to be like a ride through the castle and while you woosh around you can watch scenes from the books/movies going on around you or something. I sooo want to visit that theme park once its opened!!

Good idea, it sounds plausible despite the imprecision of the rumour. I wonder how that will fit in the castle though, it will have to be gigantic to host replica rooms, corridors etc. and a roller coaster.

Interesting if true. Sounds like it could be a lot of fun to go to the new park. Hard to believe it is only a few years away.

Oh, this is great! They can't finish the theme park fast enough for me. I know I will never get to actually see it but I'm sure there will be virtual tours on the tube for those of us that can't make it to Florida.
I hope all the house elves working on the construction of the theme park get plenty of overtime to finish it as fast as they can with no delays or interfearence from the muggle world.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!
