Alohomora -The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Alohomora! The secret is now unlocked as to when Universal Studios Orlando will open the attraction the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It's sometime the spring of 2010, that hardly narrows it down.
Did you even know that a Harry Potter theme park is coming to Orlando, Florida?
We didn't, we thought it was going to be somewhere in Great Britain.

The website for the park The Wizarding World of Harry Potter gives a quick glimpse of the attractions, which will include recreations of the Hog’s Head and Three Broomsticks pubs.

There's not much to go on yet except the artist conception of Three Broomsticks pictured above.
We have heard that the menus will feature traditional British food and drinks, and, yes, butterbeer  as well as pumpkin juice will be served.

Every shop and eatery is Potter-themed. Honeydukes  (pictured below) sells chocolate frogs and 'Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans', Ollivander's peddles magic wands, Zonko's joke shop has Sneakoscopes, and the British restaurant Three Broomsticks pours Butterbeer.
