![Universal Studios Florida - Hogwarts Express [RUMOUR]
Some new information regarding the rumoured Hogwarts Express train ride, that would connect the back of Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, came to light over the weekend. It is rumoured that the Hogwarts Express train ride should not be a true locomotive style train ride. There will be a locomotive and coal car, but purely for appearance’s sake, connected to a trio of passenger cars - slightly disappointing to be honest.
By design, there should be two separate train units which will load and depart their respective stations simultaneously, along a single section of track, that will split into two side by side rails only in the middle of the trip, allowing the two trains to slip past each other. The track between the two parks is strongly suspected to be elevated up in the air the entire way, which will technically place Platform 9 ¾ on the second floor of the King’s Cross station on the London side. It is expected that this will allow backstage vehicles to continue passing through the backlot.
