So they still have the HP house masks for sale?

Yes they do. ETA: a good to time mention I don’t like UOR masks as much as Disney’s. The material is thicker and less breathable and the fit is tighter on me, especially after a wash. Disney’s masks are slick and wick moisture better.

Last ride of the night was Dr. Doom. It was scarier than I thought it was going to be due to the ambiance of the boarding area. I love tower launching rides, but free falls (ToT) are my absolute fave. So this was good, but not as good as it could be if it rose slowly and dropped instead of launching.

Yes, we’re a little but crazy by this point in the night. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy:

Headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool. Goodbye, Universal! It ended much better than it started! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy:

Any coaster with inversions, UOR will not allow anything. Not even in zippered pockets. (Which I thought was allowed, but they made me go back and put my single car key that zipped into a cargo pocket into a locker…so literally nothing!)

Gen 2 only. The first round of Disney masks were exactly as you describe the Uni ones.

This dates back a few years but this stems from the accident that happened at the Dueling Dragons coaster which has been torn down. A cell phone left someone’s person and struck a man in the face. He lost an eye and suffered more damage. I had ridden that thing 50 times over the years. Scary stuff. Since then, nothing can be taken on the rides pretty much.

Sounds like terms of a settlement to me.

That’s how amazing the actress is! She evokes strong feelings, and even people who don’t know her character are drawn to her!

Best actor/actress portrayal second only to Dumbledore in my humble opinion and pretty damn close to McGonagall.

At the Malfoy mansion after Harry, Hermione and Ron get captured toward the end of Deathly Hallows I, in the movie universe. Lots of screaming involved.

The question is though, which Dubledore?

Great…now I gotta go back and watch, but I didn’t really like the movies too much. A lot of ‘There’s a lot to cover and you’re focusing on THIS?” moments and then cutting out the Battle of Hogwarts left me feeling very underwhelmed.
