FIELD NOTES
What makes this park itself.
This park's trick is scale honesty: the New York and San Francisco streets are real film sets you walk through, so when a dragon erupts over a London rooftop it somehow feels documentary.
Do Diagon Alley at night. The alley glows, the dragon's fire lights the whole facade, and the butterbeer line finally breathes.
The field map follows the central lagoon so the park's studio streets, Diagon Alley, and classic ride buildings read as one walkable circuit.
