Attendees will relive fan-favorite moments from the Forest,encounter creatures such as Hippogriffs, centaurs, unicorns, and Nifflers, and cast their own spells. At the end of the outdoor trail, visitors enter a themed village where they can enjoy themed food and drink (UK reviewers mentioned butterbeer and sweet treats), as well as a gift shop.
With Fever’s name on the partnership list, attendees should expect a spectacle. The London and New York City-based company recently debuted theimmersiveStranger ThingsExperiencein Brooklyn, New York. After the press preview, Game Rant complimented the spooky experience for its expert storytelling. We wrote, “While Netflix and Fever flawlessly pull their weight with the experience, participants have to go in with an open mind and a willingness to participate in all the adolescent, cheesy goodness to get the most out of it. It is a dream forStranger Thingsfans and the perfect build for the forthcoming season," which, at the time, was season four.
Based on the best-selling series by JK Rowling, theHarry Potterfranchise has helmed two popular movie franchises, a number ofvideo games, and an international stage production.
