Flight of the Hippogriff

In this shot taken in 2009, you can see a large construction crane working on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, the huge Harry Potter dark-ride that opened in 2010.  This small coaster closed on July 7, 2008 in order to work on the park's newest section, "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter".  And thanks to the walls around this construction area, this was the only portion of the ride formerly known as Flying Unicorn that was visible to the public for about a year.  The coaster was Standing But Not Operating (SBNO) for two years.  When the ride reopened in June 2010, it had been updated to match the Potter theme.
