Universal Studios has released a video of the new Harry Potter train ride that opens soon at their park. It functions to take park visitors from one part of the park to another in a very unusual way. Their video is very interesting and the ride seems unlike any other theme park train ride I've seen. Here is the You Tube link.

I can't tell if it is a practical steam engine or not. It is a shame Lionel Seems to have dropped the Harry Potter train from their line as i'm sure they would sell a few to park-goers here after riding the "real thing". I do like the attention to detail and the fact that the ride there and the ride back are different. Variety in new theme park rides due to digital technology seems to make return visits more enticing if the experience is different.
What do you guys think?
