The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley

 

The second installment to the Wizarding World takes guests to the streets of the world-famous shopping district for witches and wizards, Diagon Alley. However, this is a smaller version of the area seen in Florida, mainly because the Carkit Market has been replaced with the Ministry of Magic ride coming to Epic Universe.

When guests exit the streets of New York City, they will instantly find themselves in a small portion of London. Here, they can see the Knight Bus, Grimmauld Place, and even take the Hogwarts Express to Universal Studios. Also here is where guests can travel via floo powder to the Ministry of Magic, where they can ride the elevator ride Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry.
However, when guests go through the brick wall, they will find the lion's share of things in this land in Diagon Alley. Here, guests can dine at the Leaky Cauldron and the Fountain of Fair Fortune or do their shopping at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Flourish and Blott's, Ollivanders, Eyelops Owl Emporium, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, and Magical Menagerie. Guests can even go down Knockturn Alley and find Borgin and Burkes. At the end of the alley is Gringotts Bank, where guests can ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. The ride exits into the Goblin Vault.
Attractions:
6. Hogwarts Express
7. Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
8. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

Dining:
P. Leaky Cauldron
Q. Fountain of Fair Fortune

Shopping:
R. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
S. Flourish and Blott's
T. Ollivanders
U. Eyelops Owl Emporium
V. Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions
W. Magical Menagerie
X. Goblin Vault
I wanted to have Diagon Alley, but I also wanted to expand on it. This is why I added in the Ministry of Magic, even though it's just the ride and not the area surrounding it.

Egypt

  Guests travel back to the perils of 1920's Egypt, where old archaeological sites hold dark secrets and ancient curses. This is a thrill-seeker's area with its key attraction, although it also has things for younger adventurers too. When entering through Jumanji, guests come into a Middle Eastern bazaar. Here, they can shop at Ancient Accessories and Egyptian Antiques as well as eat at the Explorer's Inn. Further down is a play area for kids, Lost Ruins. Guests can also ride cars through the Egyptian Ruins on the Ruins Exploration Cars, which feature old automobiles hat guests can ride. However, the major attraction of this land is found in an ancient tomb, and it is the Revenge of the Mummy coaster, which is similar to the one in Orlando and Singapore. The ride exits into Mummy Mementos. Sahara Snacks is a nearby snack stand. Attractions: 11. Lost Ruins 12. Ruins Exploration Cars 13. Revenge of the Mummy Dining: AB. Explorer's Inn AC.

Jumanji

  So this might not be a real area in the world, but I still wanted to include it since I ran out of ideas for country and world region-inspired areas. This section is mainly based off the 2017 sequel/reboot series, even though a few nods to the original can be found throughout the land. When guests enter through London, they enter the jungle....literally. They are immediately immersed in a jungle outpost where things from all over the mythical land of the game are seen. Nearby is Nigel's Cafe, a dining location, while Traders of Jumanji is located nearby as well. Towards the back of the area is Jaguar River Rapids, where guests ride rafts through Jumanji, only to come across some supernatural perils. The key attraction of this area is found further on. Here, guests will board EMV jeeps (similar to Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure ride) and travel through Jumanji on a ride combining animatronics, screens, and visual effects known as the Jumanji Expedition.   Lost Treasures...
