By Robert Niles: AOL has posted Universal Orlando's Harry Potter Super Bowl commercial (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201001/1677/) on its WalletPop (http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/02/02/universal-orlandos-secret-harry-potter-super-bowl-ad-with-daniel-radcliffe/) website:
It looks like the broomsticks are not for Dragon Challenge, as you see those ride vehicles, briefly, under the dragon's fire. Given that the commercial ends with Harry and the two kids flying into Hogwarts Castle, I now question whether the broomsticks are ride vehicles. Could be, but maybe not.
Thoughts? More importantly, do you think that this commercial will inspire people to book trips? There's still no opening date announced, nor is there a "come on" or solicitation in the ad.
