I just rode this a few months ago and it felt like all of the physical effects (dragon, willow, spiders, dementors) were so much closer and in your face then when I'd previously ridden it in '18 and '13. does anyone know if anything changed or am i just crazy? also its great to see the dragon with the lights on, its way more detailed and complete than i thought it would be!

0:20 man i over reacted thinking that was like a 5000000 feet drop nahh thats like 5 feets im such a baby bruh

Good job. Very fun video! I wish I could go!

I went on this ride 6 times in one trip and I would Totally recommend this to anyone and everyone

Please we need context, for the love of God, CONTEXT

Why does your camera have astigmatism?

Why are y'all evacuating?

Tada 🎉

Went on this ride last year and several years back. Both times the ride broke down towards the start and we got to see the behind the scenes. Great experience unironically.

My friend and I got stopped right as you got off. They explained the evacuation process to us and there’s another plan if this doesn’t work, which they have never used. The smack into the restraint was the most painful jolt I’ve ever experienced. They checked on us, even though we weren’t inside the ride. We were easily evacuated. My niece and I were stopped briefly at the whopping willow about a year later and I was like not again! My most exciting evac was Rip Ride Rock It.

I’ve been in this so many times, and I swear there’s a section that goes downhill. Even looking at it on the ride, it looks like it goes down

I feel like this is the true forbidden journey

How did this person get to ride the ride like that

0:44 yep I have definitely said 'help me get this bag off him' and I was dead silent and streaming and had no idea. #KaneandLynch2 @CondolizaRice

The magic is ruined for kids that thought dinosaurs were real

I broke down on this ride once. Instead otra light turning on, the ride just fast forwarded like a vhs. It moved 5x faster than normal and gave me whiplash lol.

I was terrified on this ride. Second time we did it I shut my eyes when I knew it was the spiders and demeantors part😂

even tho i get a overwhelmed and a little disoriented, it’s such an impressive ride. real cool to see it motionless and with the lights on. the two photos i have from this ride i’m scrunched up covering my eyes lol

Cool experience 👍

0:47 I remember the last time I was on this ride at the Hollywood park, everything was working fine...except the animatronic dragon was frozen just like here 😂

To think, my retainer is still in there.

nothing will ever beat my experience riding this ride as a kid. i had flip flops on and the entire time i was scared shitless that my shoe was gonna fly off. also, the spiders terrified 9 year old me lmfao

This is referred to as Keyhole Mode. The Kuka arms put the bench in a safe, forward facing, fixed position. They can travel through the ride without bumping into anything

It looks like it's also with the arms on the ride vehicles not necessarily doing what they'd do during the actual ride. A lot of the reason you don't notice you're in a big empty building is that for large stretches of the ride, you're facing a concave screen that is moving with the ride vehicle, temporarily turning it into a projection simulator. But the benches often aren't facing the screens in this video.

When the ride is literally "tour through the props closet"

The Deers look even scarier, but the spiders honestly aren’t even that bad

Honestly this is a fantastic video to show just how incrediblely important the design of the actual ride "vehicle" is as far as its ability to immerse you in the visuals. You realize with the lights on how simple it all ultimately is.

I don't remember seeing the Dementors in Orlando. So, seeing them everywhere was intense lol. My favorite would be the Whomping Willow. It's a simple animatronic that basically nudges you along into the next giant screen, but they really nailed it.

Big lack of props during the end. Lots of screens in there but I've never ridden it so I can't really talk shit, just seems like a lot of screen time.

I could have sworn Aragog got closer than that...

I got more sick watching this than I do on the ride 🤢

I last went on this ride back when I was about 6 or 7 and I'm gonna ride it again now that I'm 13,idk if it js me but when the dragon blew fire at me I felt actuall heat

Glad my mom covered my eyes when she saw the first spider

I rode this ride for the first time a few days ago and was amazed at how amazing it is!! Best ride I’ve ever ridden on

The spiders look scarier with lights on

Whoever designed this ride did such a spectacular job. Every part of it blows me away every time. The motion sickness is a small price to pay for the exceptional experience. This ride really sets the bar high. It left me so disappointed with the mummy ride lol.

Cool I my sister loves this ride but I hate how scary the drop is😊

Dude no way that’s it I remember this ride being so intense it was insane 😂

Good behind the scenes tour

Aha.

Oh.
