7. New Hogwarts Castle Show coming soon to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade

Universal Orlando Resort has announced that an all-new Hogwarts projection show will be debuting soon at Islands of Adventure, and this time the show will feature the Dark Arts, with eerie creatures and villains  being featured during this new show. Here's how Universal is describing the show:

As darkness falls on Hogwarts castle, Dementors, Death Eaters and other unspeakable creatures including Acromantula, Mountain Trolls, and Thestrals will cloak the castle in with their great presence. Eventually, the chilling visage of the Dark Lord, Voldemort, appears to close the castle’s takeover… until one of the wizarding world’s most famous defensive charms is cast.

No release date has been given yet, but considering Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is coming this summer, we'd imagine this new show will probably debut around the same time.

Gwazi, which closed at Busch Gardens in 2015 and has sat abandoned ever since, is finally being replaced as part of a new project that will see parts of this classic ride used to create a new hybrid coaster that will become the tallest, fastest, and steepest hybrid coaster in the world, when it opens next year in 2020. 

This new addition will be a wood and steel hybrid coaster manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction, and will feature a maximum height of more than 200 feet tall.
