Episode 4 task involved the 2 selected project managers to fly over to Orlando on a private plane to the new attraction - The wizarding world of Harry Porter, which will be opened to the public this Spring 2010. They were supposed to gather information on this new attraction and report it back to their team members. The team members were responsible to create and present a 3D interactive display, to generate buzz among the Harry Potter fans, who will be judging them. I love this week’s project, it seems really interesting.
The governor(Rod) and Selina were the project managers, I think Rod is a poor manager, on the way back to New York, whilst Selina was working through her project on the laptop, the governor was fast asleep. He did not exactly delegated jobs to his team members but he told Bret to be in charge of everything, and thats it! The woman’s team won again! Oh dear, only 4men left now, and Rod is fired.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Are you a fan of Harry Potter? Have you heard about The Wizarding World of Harry Potter? On 18th of June 2010, the theme park devoted to the world of Harry Potter will be officially open to the public. Hooray!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida will include a wand shop, ollivanders where visitors can re-enact a scene from the beginning of the Harry Potter story, in which the young wizard is “chosen” by his wand. The art director of the film, Alan Gillmore who spent 3 years working on the theme park said that the wand shop would operate the same way, he cannot reveal about the technology they used to do that, but it would be ‘invisible’ to the guests.
There will be butterbeer, the wizards’ drink — it tastes of fudge and is slightly fizzy — chocolate frogs and other staples of the Potter world.
Visitors will ride on an “enchanted bench” through a quidditch match, encounter dragons and seek to avoid dementors, the soulless creatures that suck the happiness out of all who come near them.
Universal Orlando Resort hopes the 20-acre park could prove a potent rival to another and longer established magical kingdom run by Disney.
Muggles, the name given to human beings, were incapable of travelling to Hogwarts in the Harry Potter stories. This awkward point has been skirted by the makers of the theme park.
“The Wizarding World is like an open day for muggles,” said Mr Gillmore
