Harry Potter theme park - it’s really happening!!

W00t! I am so going to this when it opens.

Almost from the moment that Universal Orlando officials confirmed that they were to build “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” there has been a bit of waffling about when the themed area would open.

Late 2009. early 2010. I’ve heard both in interviews. Universal’s press release and media web site proclaims 2009, and doesn’t even say late 2009. Paperwork filed in May with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission said “by summer of 2010.

Now comes a new SEC filing, the licensing agreement between Warner Bros. and Universal, which stipulates that the “Grand opening means the date on which the themed area is fully operational and open to the public, which is targeted to occur in or about December 15, 2009 but may occur as late as June 30, 2010.

That should clear things up.

Unfortunately, the 49-page licensing agreement doesn’t say much else interesting. All of the dollar figures have been redacted.
