Wizarding World of Harry Potter

On the eve of massive park information about to be released to the public (around 9/15), construction continues at an amazing pace.

And this. This…noise. I caught this moan on the way to Dueling Dragons, emerging from the Wizarding World construction site. I can't figure out what the groan is supposed to be. A Halloween Horror Nights test run? Not sure. If anyone has a clue, please let me know.

I would just say it’s a moan for Halloween Haunt since it’s like someone getting tortured and that area would fit for that theme, I guess, maybe?

Very awesome update. Looks like construction is coming along quite nicely. Is 9/15 the date when they are going to announce more details about the area and what the actual attractions are going to be?

Thanks for these photos!!! They’re fantastic!!
That moan sounds like… sort of familiar… maybe the end of GoF, like ^^ Jack said, or maybe something else, all I know is that it sounds familiar to me.

The moan has been in the back queue of Dragons since it opened. The storyline of the ride has the Dragons tormenting the townspeople of Merlinwood. You can hear moaning and tourmented souls all along the queue. Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s nothing. Just some speakers that were always there and have recently been turned up.

Great Photos!! I always love seeing these updates, can’t wait til the next one. I personally think it sounds like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. But that isn’t it, I would think it has to have something to do with HHN.

Sounds to me like Dumbledore drinking the poison in HBP or a bit like Harry sounds when he’s being possessed by Voldemort.
Though it’s probably related to the Halloween stuff. I can’t imagine them putting sound effects in this far in advance.

It reminds me very much of the third movie, in particular the part where Sirius is having his soul sucked out of him. Anyone else recall this?

The moan was a construction worker trapped under something very heavy. You should have called for help.

It sounds either like sirius when he dementors about to give him the kiss in PoA, dumbledore drinking the potion in HBP, or voldemort getting reborn in GoF.

I say that the sounds like one of the dragons that were used in the first task. Maybe one of the nicer of the dragons! The sound sounds so sweet and not so much scary!

The moan that you hear in the Dueling Dragons Queue line is still part of the Dueling Dragons Ride atmosphere. It is suppose to be citizens of the kingdom that are hurt and in pain because the dragons are flying around fighting and destroying things; there use to be more themeing in the line that helped explain this, but was removed prior to Potter construction.

If it doesn’t belong with the Jurrasic Park (someone said it sounds like that’s where it belongs) I think it’s a hippogriff. Buckbeak.

I would say something to do with CoS, when Harry hears the basilisk in the walls. It sounds like something of the sort.

Person who works for Universal…now that’s just annoying. Bubba…shhh!!! There are some who wait for the movies to come out and don’t know what happens. And I love how you update this all the time! I keep checking every first of the month to see what you have new. It’s making me so excited! You can really see this month how it’s all coming together. And as for the moan…I go with the rest in saying possibly going to be part of the forbidden forest. However I do believe the others when saying it was part of the Dueling Dragons queue.

OMG! Super excited! I want to go live in Harry Potter land: this is going to be amazing! Thanks for the awesome updates – I’m addicted. It would be cool if the moan had to do with something potter-esque but I’m guessing it’s just part of the Dragons ride… but while we’re guessing; my two cents is for Dementors!

It wouldn’t be the shreiking shack because it stopped shreiking when left school. i’d say it was probably from something different

I’m hoping to be one of the first in line for that. Sometimes its good to live in Florida despite the tourists, heat, and humidity.
I’ve loved Harry Potter ever since it came out, and I was one of those people who reread all the books and picked it apart for the tiniest hint of what was to come. I’m so happy that they’re making a theme park for it, let’s just hope it lives up to the hype.
