Got to go w/ my older sister (a fellow Potterhead) to Universal the same week this (and Diagon Alley) opened - initial wait times were insane (I remember once it was at 500 minutes) but close to the end of the day, we waited a little over 2 hours and were super lucky to get front row center in the first car... so much fun and went off without a hitch (even though the next day I went and did it again as a single rider and we got stuck for 3 minutes in the penultimate scene area where the launch happens)! :D Definitely wanna go back eventually and especially try out Hagrid's Motorbike!

Looks pretty cool ... but I am feeling tired of all the screens used in new rides. I understand its likely way more cost effective and just the 'modern way', but I would much rather have a ride with sets and bad animatronics than a ride with a bunch of 360 screens.

[@the1theonlyg248]

Screens on this ride aren’t too abundant though, they’re used for everything that can’t be done practically.

[@darshies10]

I think screens work best when they're utilized to their full potential. For example, in disney's rise of the resistance, the screens aren't the main part of the ride, they're just there as a background effect to make you feel like you're in space

Thanks for the vid i love the queue on the harry potter rides it makes the lines actually fun

[@danielatapia4200]

I have never been able to go to the parks, watch these videos make me very happy, because even if it is not in person I can live a little bit of the experience. I hope one day to go. Too bad the lines are so long

[@Erik-ev5sp]

This ride is awesome, so immersive and thrilling

[@Farlayy]

One thing I don't see anyone mention is feeling the sheer weight of these trains. You feel completely ignored by it when riding and its great

[@revarocket9820]

I might be going here for my birthday, and this is what I wanna do first!

[@ThemeParkShark]

Awesome have a great birthday!

[@adririggs]

universal was my entire childhood and this was one of my favorites along with spider-man and the mummy , haven't been to universal since i was a kid miss it so much

[@emmaelkins1522]

I went on this ride today, and I am very sensitive to roller coasters and get very motion sick, but this ride was so much fun for me! I totally suggest it to anyone who is very senator I’ve to any kind of theme park attraction!

[@ThemeParkShark]

Love this take Emma!! Awesome glad you enjoyed

[@emmaelkins1522]

I’m currently in line for another Harry Potter ride! I’ll let you know how this one goes too!

[@emmaelkins1522]

I just finished! It was awesome!

[@8Makes1]

I get motion sick easily and I'm worried about this ride but I don't want to miss out on the Harry Potter experience. Was the drop and everything else really not that bad? I'm going in April.

[@sxnnyraes5170]

@@8Makes1 you don’t feel it in the first and middle cart really, however you feel it in the back cart it’s the type of drop you can get used to!

[@chriscollesano8463]

I had such a great time on that ride. Grown man waving at the Characters at the end of the ride. My wife just laughed, says you know they can’t see you.

[@GamingClips-Xbox]

I love this ride of course but I can’t believe how long some people will wait for it like some people have the patience for a 5 hour wait

[@MisterMoncivais]

I waited over an hour to ride Smuggler's Run at Disneyland, and didn't enjoy it...I can not imagine waiting five hours for a ride.

[@SalveRegina8]

Thank God they make these videos 😁

[@jennamarie625]

Yeah I could not. When I went to universal for the first time I went during an off month like April and the longest I waited was at the castle which was like 30mins maybe. There were no lines

[@yellowstickers394]

Honestly, I waited about 2 hours for Hagrid’s ride, but it was worth it to me. For this ride though, when I got on it it was near closing time at the park (probably like an hour before it closed), so I only waited about 25 minutes.

[@hillyplays29]

Thanks for filming this. I was supposed to go there in April but then the park shut down for the deep cleaning. Still haven't gone.

[@nmbr1bendrndfan]

i went on this coaster for my birthday once. i’m terrified of coasters but did it anyway. overall i regretted it at the time, but now i don’t think it was that bad :)

[@Spongeboby1]

I was there in february and enjoyed like a kid, its really awesome, great experience ever

[@getwrecked816]

It’s sad I never knew this ride was here

[@coralbush1793]

This one was my personal favorite, I woke up early to ride it and did it about 5 times! Since theres not too many people with early entrance, so cool!

The back seat on this ride is the best lol

[@ThemeParkShark]

So good!! Haha

[@danielleking262]

We had planned our summer trip in 2014 for early July without even realizing they we're opening up another Harry Potter ride at Universal. Thank god we at least got there the week after it opened, but omg it was still crowded as hell. We waited over an hour in line just to go on the Forbidden Journey, so there was no way in hell we were going to wait 3+ hours for the brand new Gringotts ride, lol. Glad we got to see the whole Hogwarts and Hogsmeade area! I was most excited to try pumpkin juice and butterbeer when we got there, hahaha. The food was awesome too! Everything was flippin' expensive of course. I only got a small keychain. I would've loved a wand to do those magic tricks around the park, but we had already spent so much money and had the rest of the park to go to, so I'm glad I at least got to go on the first ride since everyone was flocking to the NEW one. So yeah, thank you for posting this video!! Because I couldn't even go over to that section that day. It was so crowded, they sectioned off parts of the park and made you take a time voucher ticket thing to come back at a later time. Craziness!! Glad I can see the beautiful imagery through here. I know I'll probably never get to go there again. ☹️

[@SensationalRelaxation2023]

I remember not wanting to get on this ride because people were saying it had drops and it was dark but for some reason, everyone was acting unsure of if the ride had drops or not because they wanted me to get on so bad. I remember asking a person who worked there (who had control over the ride) and he promised me it was just like a movie no drops at all and all my fear left my body but as soon as I felt the ride tilting about to drop I literally passed out but I loved the ride I was kinda happy I everyone lied to me LMAO.

[@iizy_ll]

Wait ✋ there drops in this ride ?

[@bwhugul]

It was wrong of the Ride Operator to lie like that. This could traumatize someone else who might be very sensitive to drops.

[@eminetunafirik6446]

This harry potter ride with the one at Island of Adventure is so goooooooood

[@Fubuki.Yozakura]

[@lid1222]

I remember going on this ride 7 yrs ago and it feels like it was changed when it first opened it it felt more empty more jolty and less rollarcoaster. I finally went on it again yesterday and it was smoother the ride was faster. There where more screens because I don't remember all those screens back in the day its a wonderful ride. And luckily the line was no longer 3 hours yesterday it was 20 minutes and it was worth riding again. Something definitely changed. And whatever it was improved it a lot.

[@RgUnitedFC]

for years and years of going to Universal, my family and i didn’t know this whole alley existed behind the brick wall, it was until 2 months ago where my uncle who LOVES Harry Potter, wondered behind the wall, and there it was, a huge ass dragon and a whole alley, and to top it off, a fun ride

[@wakeupscreaming9883]

If I hadn't done a little research homework before we went, we would have walked right past it as well.

[@BrocktonLazarus3397]

This is my favorite ride at the park. I went here this weekend for my 25th birthday and I had a lot of fun! I went on the gringots ride at least 20 times while I was here!

Great ride went on it in August of 2019 on my trip to Orlando , really great experience, makes you feel like you are in the gringotts scenes during deathly hallows part 2 which is what the ride story is set during the events of that film , Great pre show also definitely have to ride next time I’m in Orlando

I love being able to watch these because I can't go on them myself. Thank you!
