  • Universal's Islands of Adventure®
    PAGE 1 1-DAY P ARK PLAN Universal’s Islands of Adventure® Harry Potter™ fans and families with teenagers will love Universal’s Islands of Adventure®. There are an abundance of thrill rides, including serious coasters in Incredible Hulk Coaster® and Dragon Challenge™, and the incredibly well- done The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man®. For families with younger children, there is still plenty to see and experience within the park, especially the water rides Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls® and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges®. For toddlers, Seuss Landing™ is a Dr. Seuss book come to life in color and landscape, with the very best play area of any theme park we’ve encountered in If I Ran the Zoo™, and a number of tot-friendly attractions. Universal’s Islands of Adventure typically opens about half an hour ahead of the official opening, and we recommend you take advantage of this by arriving at least 45 minutes ahead of time. You’ll begin your journey inside the Port of Entry® and then hop around the various “islands” scattered about the lagoon. We recommend staying on-site at one of the Universal Orlando® Resort hotels and begin your journey in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade™, since it’s easily the most crowded area of Universal’s Islands of Adventure®. Potter fans will want to spend time soaking up the magic, having the perfect wand claim them at Ollivanders™, sampling a cauldron cake at Honeydukes™ or enjoying a pint of Butterbeer™ at Three Broomsticks™. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ is the park’s headliner, a spectacular journey in which guests board an “enchanted bench” that takes them on a flight through Hogwarts™ castle and beyond.

A Thesis In MUSICOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC Approved Dr. Christopher J. Smith Chair Professor Angela Mariani Dr. Thomas Cimarusti Ralph Ferguson Dean of the Graduate School December, 2010 Copyright 2010, Kelli Rohlman Texas Tech University, Kelli Rohlman, December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the December 2003 issue of O Magazine, American critic and writer Bell Hooks said “Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.” The Harry Potter book series is one that many would claim has changed their lives in one way or another, and I am no exception. I would first like to thank, with the utmost respect and admiration, author J.K. Rowling for her literature that has inspired such a flourishing, creative, and beautiful community of fans. I would then like to register my complete gratitude to each of my informants; without their cooperation, generosity, and eagerness to share their incredible talents and expertise, this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to thank the hundreds of “wizards” that I have met or communicated with along my journey for their undying enthusiasm. I would also like to thank, specifically, Dinah Russell of the Wizrocklopedia.com for her assistance in general community support for my research. Thank you to Melissa Anelli of The Leaky Cauldron website and Pottercast for her accessibility and for answering all of my questions about Harry, A History on multiple occasions.

  • Immersion, Authenticity and the Theme Park As Social Space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and D
    Immersion, authenticity and the theme park as social space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and Dr. Stijn Reijnders Abstract: This article examines the visitor experience of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWOHP) theme park at Universal Studios Orlando. The park is hugely popular and has been embraced by the series’ devoted but critical fanbase. Prior research on theme parks has generally focused on critiques of their form, leading to a limited understanding of their appeal. This article asks how fan-visitors interpret this simulated environment, and what leads them to embrace it. It does this with an ethnographic approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with 15 visitors combined with participant observation. We show how WWOHP is understood by its visitors as an adaptation of the series into physical space, via the medium of the theme park, and how the visitor’s experience is shaped through use of ironic imagination. In doing so, we present a new understanding of the immersive media experience of theme parks. Keywords: fandom, theme parks, Harry Potter, immersion, tourism Word Count (including abstract, references, and keywords): 7989 1 “That’s what WWoHP is about. Living it. Being transported to that world and living a day, or a night, there. And that will be completely and truly MAGICAL,” reads a Tumblr post by user ‘niallgirlalmighty’, as part of her description of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (henceforth WWOHP) in Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. This post joins many similar ones by fans of the Harry Potter series, who have been flooding to the parks since the first WWOHP opened in 2010.
