Hogwarts Express soft run
Universal Studios in Orlando announces that even though Diagon Alley will not actually open until July 8th, guests at the park will be treated to a limited early admission as part of a “soft open” of the Hogwarts Express. This soft open will allow for the theme park to test out their new ride in hopes of getting any “kinks” worked out before their grand opening. The openings are only in brief, limited windows for a few lucky guests though it is expected that the ride will be running at longer intervals the closer to opening day they get.
