The worst kept secret in theme park history is officially unveiled!

Although work began over a year ago when the JAWS ride and Amity backlot area were closed at Universal Studios Florida, it wasn't until this month that Universal finally confirmed what we've all known - they are expanding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Scheduled to open some time in 2014, the expansion will bring the WWHOP to both Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure and will feature the London landmarks from the Harry Potter series. Scheduled to be included are:

• Diagon Alley and its iconic shops (Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!)
• A new HP themed restaurant
• A ride based on Gringott's Bank (dare we hope for a thrill ride based on the daring break-in staged by Harry et al in The Deathly Hallows?!)

The two areas will now be called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter  - Hogsmeade™ and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley™and guests with Park-to-Park tickets will be able to travel between the two via the Hogwarts Express from London to Hogsmeade.

I don't know about you, folks, but we are beyond excited and can't wait to visit!
