Universal Studios Hollywood expansion

After Orlando and Osaka, this is the third time Comcast Universal opens the exact same Harry Potter land elsewhere once again. No incentive for fans to visit all three. Bad planning.

Good quality video with Harry Potter footage mixed in (skip through to 7:46:00 for the most substantial footage of Wizarding World)
Was taken on 1/1/2016 and looks like new signs have been added since last month. I doubt we will see much more now until opening as it's looking complete and especially if we are expecting soft opening this month.

They also filmed the Hippogriff trains testing on the track on Twitter @UniversalCore11

January 10th is most likely the soft opening...

Filmed on December 12th this video by Universal Core shows a complete looking Hogwarts and the track of Flight of the Hippogriff. If I didn't know better this looks open for guests, fans working in the queue line and everything looks ready to go.

@ryanthemepark on Twitter tweeted out a screenshot regarding #WizardingWorldHollywood annual pass previews:

It says "you'll get an invitation to join us for our Annual Pass Event to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter".

So can this dictate soft openings to the public before the April 7th opening?

Some new updates...

The Hoarding outside has changed to Brickwork as work near completion. I love the attention to detail on the "muggles at Work" proclamation here.

So not exactly a Theme Park Construction Pic but check out this image from The Grand Opening trailer.

Have to say the video gives me chills when Evanna Lynch says "Lumos Maxima" and the Castle lights up.
