How does the Harry Potter Ride work? - A virtual look behind the scenes

[@kingjoon3381]

Whenever i'm sitting on the end I try to lean forward and look at the track next to me. The track/claw mechanism is actually terrifying looking lmao

[@nickyjlyons]

king joon just got back from Orlando and thought the exact same thing

[@GabrielTheMagolorMain]

king joon I agree, I feel that way with most rides. I went to Disneyland last week and looked back into the Star Tours ride as we were getting off and it gave me the chills.

[@LindaClements]

I always do that as well. I saw "the making of" on ABC before it opened and the mechanics of it is truly fascinating

[@jermargaston9318]

I thought the same thing yesterday looks terrifying

[@katyaweikel3922]

Yes it is very horror movie esque. All the good rides I feel with the lights on would be creepy looking.

[@katyaweikel3922]

This is so awesome! I knew the ride was a robotic arm but wasn't exactly sure how it worked! Same with the rotating movie screens! This ride is beyond epic and probably my favorite ride of all time. Knowing this doesn't take the magic away, it makes me actually want to ride it right now.

[@Dispatch82]

Barf warning (unless your me)

[@FrappeInsider]

You won't be able to see the arm or any mechanisms while you're on-ride. You just see the harness

[@kassychanel2683]

Finally a video that completely allows me to understand how it actually works. I had so many questions and now they’ve finally been answered. Thank you!

This was so cool! I always wondered how the bits with the screens work! This ride is SO awesome. :)

[@js7934]

Why do the screens turn like this? Sorry, I haven't been on the ride, so I don't quite understand what the effect looks like in person

[@erikhjortsater5461]

Being a Coaster Enthusiast, I know quite I a lot about this. And to answer your question, it's all about capacity. Low capacity means long lines. People do not want to wait in long lines, and people who does wait, tend to get bored quicker than those who doesn't. A bored guest will leave earlier, thus the park makes less money. If the screens were not to rotate, the next train would have to wait until the one ahead of it clears that section. Now it just syncs up with it's own screen, and can therefore complete the ride without stopping in the middle backing up the system.

[@RetroGhostin]

I’m about to go on this ride and your video has really help calmed my nerves! I can’t stand not knowing what’s going on in a ride as it gives me extreme anxiety attacks but now that I know the worst of it (to me turning completely on the side) I can ride it comfortably!

[@Theme.Park.Recreations]

Glad i could help!

[@Kimchiandtaco]

OMG SAMEEE i’m about to go next week and I’m like 50/50 if I should ride or not cause I’ve had panic attacks even just in queue lines 😂😅😅😅

[@bobski81]

How did Daviem and kassy get on? i havent done this ride and would like to try but also experience anxiety and just in the line. Did you manage the ride and did you enjoy it?

[@RetroGhostin]

@@bobski81 After getting in line they have you sit in a cart that looks like the one in the film. I managed to go through it and actually really loved it! For me my biggest fear was thinking it was a rollercoaster. It was very fun in the end

Best ride you can ever imagine!the only problem is that you get scared of riding a broom even though you dreamed of it as a kid

[@cozychlochlo]

Rode this at least 4 times yesterday and I kept on trying to peer out to see how the mechanisms in the attraction worked, because it always seemed so magical XD thanks for breaking it down for us ! this is rlly impressive :)

[@DisneyDave]

This is incredible!! thanks for sharing

[@jeenyus720]

1:33 is the best part because you get a nice stretch on your back. Feels great after standing in the queue.

this was absolutely the most terrifying ride ive ever been on!!

[@renatotadificil2004]

one of the coolest things I saw in my life ! And more incredible, the NEW harry potter in orlando (escape from gringots, something like this) is EVEN MORE fantastic !!!

[@lynnvc402]

This ride is so ingenious!! I never knew something that seemed so complex could actually be very simple! I really loved this ride when we went to Orlando’s Islands of Adventure. We rode on it twice! I would ride it many more times in the future, because it was definitely one of my favorites :)

[@joshcurtiss8071]

it's really cool how that ride system works

[@TheRealJillian]

Love this!! My friends don't like rides that flip upside_down so they will go on this ride after they see it

this is super helpful, thanks. I'm going through a series of self-treatment to desensitize myself for roller-coaster-restraint triggered claustrophobia and this explanation was helpful. Took some of the mystery and unknowns away.

[@wickedjinxx9586]

This makes ALOT of sense !!!!

[@TheRausing1]

Great ride, very scary though. First time I went I had my friend (21) to my left and a small kid (8-10) on my right, alone. I was so worried about this kid in the spider/dementor sections, but at the end of the ride, the kid was smiling and laughing, and my tattood, 6'4 friend was shitting himself. great times.

[@itznicckk]

The green part at the beginning was the part I was always concerned. Now I know what it looks like

[@AspiringEntity]

HOLY CRAP THATS AN RCT3 FLAT RIDE ?!?!?

[@tacosmargs58]

I'm scared of every ride, like literally scared of baby roller coasters.. I did this and felt anxious and had sweaty palms but I got through it lol.

Just got back from a trip to Universal and kept thinking about your creations. Super excited to see what you release next, even got me starting a Universal park 😅.

[@FireGirlFashion]

I am terrified of heights and still can’t tell if this will trigger it or not but I appreciate the video!! It’s a huge help!

[@Theme.Park.Recreations]

I can hardly tell if this ride triggers your fear of heights. In fact: Nowhere in this ride you are actually higher than 5 metres above the ground. If it feels higher its because of the projected film parts that simulate flying. At least in the Orlando version of the ride I felt quite safely "strapped" into the ride seats - reminded me of sitting in one of those referee seats on tennis courts with feet dangling in the air...

[@rckblzr]

If you keep your attention focused on what's in front of you, you won't notice how high it is off the ground.

[@savitamahadik2375]

i also didn't knew that it works like this I thought it was a roller coaster

[@darkloarddarkbird3933]

So how the hell do u feel like ur actually going fast in the ride if that’s it. By the way I’ve been on it already and I’m still confused.

[@HigherQualityUploads]

There is a small fan right above your head when you ride. Next time you go out your hand up and you'll be able to feel it.

[@chocolateboba2774]

This is my favorite Harry Potter ride!

[@Mimi4826]

Thank you so much for this! I wanted to go but was worried how interactive it got since I’m epileptic. Long bouts of strobe lighting is a trigger so seeing that that’s not the case has assured me.

[@Theme.Park.Recreations]

Strobelights can"t be reproduced convincingly in the game, therefore it is not included in the video. The attraction has small passages with strobes as far as i recall.

[@bja808]

Thats very smart using four rotation screens so that each rider has the smal experience at the same time

[@Theme.Park.Recreations]

Actually in real life the ride uses even more than four projection screens on one "carousel", but i had to make it four to make it work in Rollercoaster Tycoon.

[@iLikeTheUDK]

How the hell did you get the audio?

[@Theme.Park.Recreations]

I recorded the voices at the ride and re-recorded the music with some musicians for this video.

We always do single rider and you USED to be able to run out of the gift shop and straight across through the lockers to get back into the single rider line w/o having to go outside. However the last time we were there (2019) now they make you go ALL the way out to the arch in the beginning of the line outside to get back in line :-/

Exactly my thoughts when riding it for the first time. IMHO the main issue about this attraction is you still "feel" the difference between the projected and the "real" scenes of the ride - even if it´s 4k and 3D and so on.
