Until now, the only Harry Potter rides you could take were of the illicit, vibrating broom variety. But the marvelously named Nikki Finke has details about the new theme park opening up at the Universal Orlando Resort in 2010. Apparently, it's called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," which, you know, doesn't completely suck as a name, I guess.

There's a full description of the park over here, but it looks like it's mostly a series of gift shops:

— At the entrance of Hogsmeade, billowing steam and an iconic whistle signal the arrival of the Hogwarts Express into Hogsmeade station
— Across the way is Zonko’s, a joke shop with a collection of tricks and jokes, including Extendable Ears, Boxing Telescopes and Sneakoscopes
— Honeydukes is next door and full of treats like Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans
— The Three Broomsticks and adjacent Hog’s Head pub will feature traditional British fare and drinks including Butterbeer and pumpkin juice
— Across from the Three Broomsticks is The Owlery, where owls roost and await their next delivery
— The Owl Post sends letters with a certified Hogsmeade postmark and sells official stamps from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

...with two roller coasters and a Captain EO-like faux-interactive ride at the end. Is this normal for Floridian theme parks? I've never been. I hope this literary themed park takes off, because I can't wait for "The Sartre-an Town of Being and Nothingness."
