你已經從書籍和大銀幕中與哈利·波特分享了他的每一次歷險。現在,你還可以在美國奧蘭多環球影城的哈利·波特主題公園里親自體驗一番!
在這里,你可以穿越高聳的霍格沃茨城堡大門,探訪熟悉的過道、教室和走廊;走進霍格莫德村的商店,嘗嘗三把掃帚酒吧和豬頭酒吧的美食;重頭戲無疑是“哈利·波特與禁忌之旅”、“龍的挑戰”和“鷹頭馬身有翼獸的飛行之旅”。所有這些都讓人有置身于魔法世界的感覺。
雖然哈利·波特主題公園遠在大洋彼岸,廣大哈迷們就誠心祈愿吧——希望可以早日飛到美國,或者投資者在中國建一個這樣的主題公園!
Muggles, the time has come! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando Resort[度假勝地] re-creates much of the setting of the Harry Potter books and movies. If you’re one of the fans who have longed to immerse[沉浸于] yourself in the Harry Potter universe, grab your broomstick[帚柄] and head on down to Orlando!
Hogwarts Castle
Inside Hogwarts Castle is the park’s signature[有特征的符號] attraction, a thrill[膽戰心驚] ride called “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.” Without a doubt, the Forbidden Journey is the main reason to visit, and you can certainly expect long lines for this attraction, so arrive early. Seated on an “enchanted[被施魔法的] bench,” you fly through the air to some of the memorable scenes in the movies. You face the Dementors, play Quidditch, and fly through Hogwarts’ Great Hall, along with other adventures.
Inside the Castle
One of the most innovative[創新的] parts of the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride is that even waiting in line is a treat[樂事] for the ride. While you follow the line through the castle toward the ride, you’ll travel through several areas that will be familiar to Potter fans, such as the Portrait Gallery (yes, the paintings talk), the Gryffindor common room, Professor Dumbledore’s office, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
Hogwarts Express
Any trip to Hogwarts—for Harry Potter or for us Muggles—must include the Hogwarts Express, the train Hogwarts students take from London to reach the castle. Park visitors don’t have to find Platform , though; this steam-spewing[噴涌] locomotive[火車頭] is located near the entrance to Hogsmeade and isn’t going anywhere. Like most of the park, the Hogwarts Express adheres closely to[堅持,依附] its depictions[描寫] in the books and films.
Hogsmeade
Outside the castle, a stroll[漫步] through the town of Hogsmeade will take you to Potter-esque[……風格的] establishments[設施] such as the Three Broomsticks and Hog’s Head eateries[餐館]. You’ll also find a few places that have been transplanted from Diagon Alley, including Ollivanders Wand[魔棍] Shop and the Dervish and Banges wizarding-equipment store.
Ollivanders Wand Shop
Ollivanders Wand Shop is fun if the line is short or if you love the movie. A crowd of about 20 people pack into the wand shop. Ollivander picks a young volunteer (“wizard”), and tries to find a wand that fits with the person. Once the wand picks the wizard, he show is over, and the lucky volunteer has the option[選擇權] to buy the wand in the gift shop (of course). Then the whole group exits through the gift shop.
Honeydukes
One of the sweetest attractions in Hogsmeade is the Honeydukes candy shop. Honeydukes has magical goodies[糖果] such as Candyfloss, Pepper Imps, Sugar Quills, Chocolate Frogs and, of course, Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans. Buy the beans. They look like normal candies, but they’re not. Here’s a dare for you and a friend. Pick two matching beans from the bag and put them in your mouths at the same time. Then watch the other’s reaction. It may be a harmless flavor, like cinnamon[肉桂] or watermelon. Or it may be a gross[令人討厭的] one like dirt, earthworm[蚯蚓] or earwax[耳垢]. No spitting[吐] allowed!
Butterbeer
Candy isn’t the only Potter-universe treat that comes to life here. Be sure to try the butterbeer. This drink is like a butterscotch[奶油糖果] cream soda…a very delicious one. (The recipe[配方] was personally approved by author J.K. Rowling.) After you finish the first one, you will want another. When you get home, you will want to make one for yourself, but beware[謹防] of the online recipes. Some of them are not potable[適于飲用的]!
Hagrid’s Hut
As you head over to the Flight of the Hippogriff ride(a kid-friendly roller-coaster), you’ll come across Hagrid’s Hut. It is the home of the kindhearted half-giant who serves as Hogwarts’ gamekeeper.
Flight of the Hippogriff
Aimed at younger visitors, the Flight of the Hippogriff is a smaller-size roller coaster that imagines guests as wizarding students learning how to fly on hippogriffs—magical creatures that are part eagle, part horse, introduced in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Dragon Challenge
If you’re up for a more extreme roller coaster, the high-speed Dragon Challenge lets riders imagine they’re facing fierce[兇猛的] dragons in the Triwizard Tournament. There are two dueling[決斗] coasters, so you can ride it twice and get two different rides. Online reviewers differ in which is best, so pick one or ride both. En route[在途中] to the ride, guests pass by the flying Ford Anglia that Harry and Ron crashed into the Whomping Willow in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The Goblet of Fire
The Dragon Challenge is based on an important part in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: the Triwizard Tournament task where Harry battled a dragon. As guests wait in line, they walk through the Tournament’s champion’s tent, where they see the Goblet of Fire itself.
麻瓜們,這一刻終于到來了!位于(美國)奧蘭多環球影城的哈利·波特魔法世界主題公園再現了“哈利·波特”系列書籍和電影中的大部分場景。如果你也是哈迷之一,并一直渴望沉浸在《哈利·波特》的魔法世界里,那就拿起你的飛天掃帚直奔奧蘭多吧! 霍格沃茨城堡
在霍格沃茨城堡里有著這座公園的標志性景點——一段名為“哈利·波特與禁忌之旅”的驚險旅程。毫無疑問,禁忌之旅是我們游玩公園的主要原因;你一定會在這里看到長長的隊伍,所以早點來哦。坐上一張“被施了魔法的長椅”,你將飛越好些出現在電影中的難忘場景。你會遇到攝魂怪、玩上一場魁地奇比賽、飛越霍格沃茨大禮堂,還有其他歷險。
在城堡內
在哈利·波特與禁忌之旅的旅程中,就連排隊等候也是賞心樂事,這也是它最創新的一點。當你隨著隊伍穿過城堡走向旅程時,你將會經過哈迷們無比熟悉的地方,比如肖像走廊(是的,那些畫像會說話)、格蘭芬多公共休息室、鄧布利多教授的辦公室和黑魔法防御課教室。
霍格沃茨特快
任何一趟前往霍格沃茨的旅程——無論是對于哈利·波特還是對于我們麻瓜來說——都絕對少不了霍格沃茨特快,即霍格沃茨學生搭乘的從倫敦到城堡的火車。不過公園游客倒不需要找尋站臺;這列噴著水蒸氣的火車頭就停靠在霍格莫德村的入口附近,哪里都不會去。就像該主題公園的其他部分那樣,霍格沃茨特快的樣子同書上和電影里描述的相差無幾。
霍格莫德村
在城堡外面,漫步于霍格莫德村,你會見到許多波特式的建筑設施,譬如三把掃帚酒吧和豬頭酒吧。你還會發現有些地方是從對角巷搬過來的,包括奧利凡德魔杖店以及德維斯和班斯魔法商店。
奧利凡德魔杖店
如果排隊的人不多,或者你鐘愛這部電影的話,奧利凡德魔杖店可謂樂趣無窮。大約20人擠進這家魔杖店。奧利凡德將選擇一名年輕的自愿者(“巫師”),然后試圖找出一根適合此人的魔杖。一旦魔杖選擇了這名巫師,表演就結束了,而那名幸運的自愿者可以選擇在禮品店買下這根魔杖(當然會買啦),然后整組人就可以穿過禮品店離開。 蜂蜜公爵
霍格莫德村最甜蜜的景點之一就是蜂蜜公爵糖果店。蜂蜜公爵儲存了各種神奇美食,如棉花糖、胡椒小頑童、糖羽毛筆、巧克力蛙,當然還有比比多味豆。買點多味豆吧。它們看起來就像普通的糖果,其實不然。這是你與朋友之間的挑戰:從袋子里挑兩顆相稱的豆子,然后同時將它們放進你們的嘴巴里,接著看看對方的反應。它也許是一種無害的口味,如肉桂味或西瓜味;或者它的味道糟透了,如泥土、蚯蚓或耳屎。不許吐掉它哦!
黃油啤酒
在這里,糖果并不是唯一一種由波特世界走入現實的美食。記得要試一下黃油啤酒。這種飲料就像是用黃油糖漿制成的奶油蘇打……一種非常美味的奶油蘇打。(其配方得到了作者J·K·羅琳本人認可。)一旦喝完第一杯,你就會想來第二杯。回家以后,你也會想自己調上一杯,不過要小心網上的配方哦,因為有些可是喝不得的!
海格的小屋
前往“鷹頭馬身有翼獸的飛行之旅”(一種適合孩子玩的過山車)時,你會經過海格的小屋。這里住著那位善良的混血巨人,他也是霍格沃茨的狩獵場看守。
鷹頭馬身有翼獸的飛行之旅
鷹頭馬身有翼獸的飛行之旅專為年齡較小的游客而設,是一架小型過山車,將游客們設想為正在學習如何騎著鷹頭馬身有翼獸飛行的巫師學生。鷹頭馬身有翼獸是一種魔法生物,一半是鷹,一半是馬,在《哈利·波特與阿茲卡班的囚徒》中首次亮相。
龍的挑戰
如果你想玩更為驚險刺激的過山車,那么高速的“龍的挑戰”能讓騎手們想象自己正在三強爭霸賽中面對兇猛的惡龍。一共有兩條過山車互飆,所以你可以坐兩遍,體驗兩種不同的感覺。網上的評論者對于哪條線更好各執己見,所以你可以選擇體驗一條,或者兩條都不錯過。在前往乘坐過山車的途中,游客們將路過飛翔的福特安格里亞車,哈利和羅恩在《哈利·波特與密室》中開著這輛車撞上了打人柳。
火焰杯
“龍的挑戰”取材于《哈利·波特與火焰杯》中的重要部分:哈利曾與一條惡龍戰斗的三強爭霸賽任務。游客們在排隊的時候將走過爭霸賽的冠軍帳篷,他們在那里會見到火焰杯。
