Alex Benepe, Ceo and President of the IQA (International Quidditch Association), has announced his desire to hold Quidditch games at the London Olympic Games next year. This follows the the success of the Quidditch World Cup which was held in New York this year.
Benepe wrote:
“Today it is my pleasure to lay out a road map for the future of the IQA and real-life quidditch. In case you’ve been locked up in Azkaban, 2011 was a big year for quidditch. The IQA just held its fifth annual World Cup in New York City. We’ve come a long way in the five years since a ragtag gaggle of freshman first played real-life quidditch on a field at Middlebury College in Vermont.”
“This encouraging number proves that quidditch has the ability to become an economically viable spectator sport. The next stop? The Olympic games of course!
In Summer 2012 the IQA will organize an expo match in London during the Olympics. The IQA is currently assessing venues, working with media contacts, and reaching out to local teams. At minimum, the IQA will organize a UK vs. US match, and may bring additional European teams.”
A great batch of new information regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s Orlando expansion just in from hypable.com: ITS GETTING MORE RIDES! An employee at Disney at Work confirms a working Hogwarts Express, a new roller coaster, and the closing of Poseidon’s Fury. Here’s what the employee said:
-Railroad engineers have been on property extensively designing a track that would run backstage.
-You would be looking outside the train and seeing a video component as you went down the track. Whether that would be similar in technology to King Kong in Universal Florida remains to be seen.
-There is a roller coaster planned for the Jaws area.
-The individual was told to see Poseidon’s Fury [sic] for the last time soon as it was going away by February 1st.
All this seems to add fuel to the speculation that a Diagon Alley with a Gringott’s Wizarding Bank roller coaster would take over where Jaws left off. Additionally it is believed that a Hogwarts Express Train would connect from there to the current Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction at Islands of Adventure.
