I have the BIGGEST fear of roller coasters, it's honestly kinda pathetic, but my family convinced me to go on this ride since im such a huge harry potter fan, and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. We rode it multiple times since then and the little drop from the devil's snare still scares me a tiny bit, but my fear has definitely gotten better since riding this.

[@sportsloverbaseball]

I’m terrified of roller coasters. Well, more so the drop. I don’t mind the feeling like I’m going to die, I just don’t like that stomach dropping feeling. Regardless, my school (my grade, I should say, and the music classes, not the whole grade) went there for a field trip/celebration/congratulations for continuing this far. A few of my friends really wanted to go on this ride. I say “sure, why not” however I grab my phone and start watching this video. Everyone is telling me to hurry up, and I watch to the backwards portion. I then say “Oh so you go backwards for the rest of the ride” (you don’t). A friend who had been on it many times said that there was a “surprise drop” and said it wasn’t steep of fast or long. “Ok” and we continue waiting in line (he told me this in line). Well, we come to a stop after going backwards. I shout at him “IS IT DONE?” He yells “Hold on a moment!” Like clockwork, the floor gave out. I thought I died, then I look to see him grinning. Anyways, loved it so much that, day 2, we immediately go straight to it. Anyways, we get to that drop and I start mumbling under my breath, “Drop drop drop.” Still scared the hell out of me. Best ride I’ve ever been on, no doubt.

I was shaking and nauseous through the whole line, but by the end, I immediately got back in line to do it again. If you're like me, take the motorcycle spot instead of the side car.

@@LE-sx3or the drop really isn’t that bad. It feels exactly like the one on rise of the resistance, very unexpected the first time you ride but it’s so sudden and quick that it’s over before you even realize what happened. And the backwards part is less intense if you’re sitting near the back of the train. I rode this three times in one day, and definitely felt the backwards drop a lot more when I was sitting in the front. Which makes sense because the front car covers more track on the 70-degree spike. I have no idea if that helps at all, but I swear this ride is worth riding at least once!

This ride helped me conquer my fear of roller coasters I discovered when I went to Universal around Christmas. Before it we rode Velocicoaster and I was crouching in my seat and screaming like a baby, unlike the rest of my family. They were shocked. They thought I was gonna be the bravest when really, I chickened out more than anyone. When we were in the queue for this ride, my mum embraced me countless times, telling me everything’s gonna be ok, I’m brave, and I inspired her to get over HER fear. She said if she could do it, so could I. My dad assured me that nobody was going to die, and if I could survive Velocicoaster this should be no biggie. When I got on, this time my brother was petrified and occasionally shrieking while I sat upright, cool and calm, feeling the rolling turns as the wind flew past my face. My whole family were so proud in that moment. I’ll never forget this spectacular experience.

[@alexacortes579]

This ride helped me get over my fear too! It’s the best! I also do love the velocicoaster so much both of these are my favorites. I found that if I don’t tense up and let go the ride is significantly more enjoyable! Congrats!

[@redwall1521]

Realistically speaking, most people are just fearful of the unexpected, and the very, very, very x1million small chance that you might actually die from a malfunctioning coaster. People aren't typically scared when flying on an airplane. Once you get past that, you kind of lose the spectacle of riding roller coasters, but you end up loving the first time you ride any unexpected coaster like this one.

[@imspritecranberryfr]

We just got back from Universal. We rode this three times in two days. Here’s some helpful tips: -The best time to ride this would be at park opening. Get to the gates by six. Most early riders will be there as well. When the gates open, people start running towards it. The park has done something to deal with this. They set out three ropes to slow down the runners. If you are in the front of the line at the gate, and you walk briskly instead of running, you will either make it inside the building, or the two lines close to it. The ride time says it opens at 9:00 am, but the ride is running as soon as park opening, due to the massive interest in the ride. We rode it 17 minutes after park opening. By the time we were out, we would have been able to get back in line with no effort. By 8:00, the line was all the way past the train. -If you can, don’t bring anything that would require a locker. Lockers hinder your ability to get directly in line. I absolutely hate lockers, so I don’t bring anything until after I’ve ridden this ride and Velocicoaster (btw you should just wait until you’ve ridden this ride, instead of going to Velocicoaster first, because despite what you’ve been told, the lines at the other ride are faster). -We rode Hagrid’s a second time in the afternoon. We found out that, just like the other Potter rides, there’s an introduction room, with one of the holographic scenes in a garage. I believe they avoid this encounter due to the sheer number of riders and long lines, so this was a welcome surprise, seeing as how we managed to get my youngest nephew on the ride. -You’ll want to get first seat, on the motorbike part itself. Cant even describe how awesome it is. Hope these tips help! You will love this ride!

I just got back and it really is the best ride there. The whole experience is amazing. I wouldn't wait for any ride more than an hour but waited 2 for this one. If you're gonna go for a long wait time for any ride, this is the one to wait for.

[@rustyharvey3481]

BEST RIDE EVER If you can wait and ride at night TRUST ME you’ll be glad you waited

[@claireslay-_-]

tip for anyone riding this,if u like inversions like the left to right ones on this coaster,RIDE IN THE SIDE CART it’s so much better

[@Airhead_18]

Is this ride worth the wait?

[@GB16JToH]

yes, absolutely yes

[@ThorenBradley]

Is this ride as smooth as it looks? Or is that just the a really nice camera stabilizer?

[@freshouttahereg1317]

It really is that smooth

[@dashkatae]

Still my favorite ride at IoA. The ride is so much better at night. Went there last Thursday and got a front-row night ride. Simply the best.

[@KuromiiCutiie]

This was the first and my favorite ride i went on last year. It was amazing. I loved it so much. I thought I was going to be more scared but honestly I had a blast on it. It was so magical. Never get rid of it please

[@ScruffAnimations]

It’s crazy that this is as good as it is, one of the best in the park I swear ❤

[@beetlejuiceblues12]

Truly the smoothest rollercoaster I've ever been on, had a blast every second. The drop was a surprise, but it really fit the ride and in the front row you can see the tracks change after the backwards bit! I can't say enough good things about this ride. (P.S.: Bike seat is superior)

[@lit.g_4529]

R.I.P. I love this ride so much!❤️

[@madiesworld4493]

this is my fav ride in hogsmeade. ITS AMAZING! and its MUCH faster and intense then the vid. (in a good way) DO NOT miss it. if u miss it ur crazy bro its amazing even if it has a long line trust me its great

[@danielrowan123]

Worth the 3 hour wait I had in 2019

[@qxmoz2875]

This ride is pure magic! the wait however long it is will always be worth it!!

[@simone4348]

I love this ride. It was so smooth and it is so much faster in real life.

[@greatdane5444]

Stay at a hotel with early access. Did it just this morning only a half hour wait to ride. Was an awesome experience...Also velociraptor was legit as well

[@fandomsgirl1236]

I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but the series even more)

[@laurameneses3318]

The views are so well made, a rollercoaster inside a forest, well the forbidden forest. I rode it 5 years ago and seeing it steel feels like magic

[@nitropc2453]

I remember the time I was inside the cave with my family I thought we were going to launch straight ahead but ended up just falling down. I was scared out of my pants 😂

[@sunnygirl333]

This girl I front of me screamed like marge simpson

[@kennethparker2483]

This ride can only be described as absolute 100% pure fun. Best coaster experience I’ve ever had. Velocicoaster was also super fun but I think this coaster has just a tad better ride experience.

[@WifeMomTeacherLife]

Finally got to ride it last week and it was awesome! Can't wait to go back in less than 2 months.

[@eristineforever6934]

This is my second favorite ride at Universal Studios. It’s so fast, awesome, and has such good theming, animatronics, and effects.

[@chrissalehi6524]

I managed to get front row on my first ever ride of this and it was awesome. Since I was on the "bike" I could lean into the curves like a real bike and it made the ride so much cooler. The only bad part of the front row is you don't get to see AS much of the devil's snare area.

[@Icequ4keOfPyrrhia]

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD RIDE I went on it when I first got to the park and when I left, was enjoying it all the way. Probably one of the best things I’ve ever rode. Idk why it looks more tame from this perspective lol, when it dropped that was so good, also fluffy is so cute

[@namratamehta3872]

This, forbidden journey and escape frm gringotts are really fantastic rides.. We went during thanksgiving week and had so much.. Best trip ever.. Unfortunately we lost all our pics because the phone died on us on return flight...Luckily we took a souvenir photo from Hagrids ride.. Best souvenier everrr..❤

[@k-cwegner1949]

That's why I like Universals rides more than most others. Along with the interaction like Hagrid and the cages on the velocicoaster, they don't have the traditional big drops, but instead have the motors that launch you, getting you up to speed a lot quicker

[@marcellobasso5554]

I was definitely in the mood to see a new pov of this ride, AND U GRANTED MY WISH! :D I can’t get over this ride even if I tried

[@Homotekno]

As a complete ride wimp, this ride was beautiful and I'm so glad I did it. The drops are mild and the dark spaces are much more open and spacious feeling in person. Just get on x

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Why did Hagrid say when he went to Dairy Queen? “Do you want a blizzard, Harry?”

[@mayganphynix8267]

😆

[@DracoMalfoy-ds7uc]

I miss this so much

[@aiden2584]

0:11 the most exciting sound

[@LuisMartinez-bq9bx]

And it's just the beginning!! IT'S PERFECT!!

[@seanevans3272]

Just watched the movies for the first time and let me tell ya! I’m glad I did.

[@Shiny_VR661]

It’s an amazing ride. Universal has changed me.

[@galaxiegoddess]

I love intense roller coasters, Im just so scared of the heights :( so this is my favorite one! It left me breathless and I never had to worry about 100 feet 80 degree drop

[@luigimario7801]

Just got this experience Tuesday! Loved front ride

[@bubblytea4220]

I’m scared of roller coasters. My friends convinced me to get on this and of course, I ended up getting the VERY front seat. When the ride got to the top at 1:32 … I was in the front seat, mind you … I thought I was having a heart attack lol. It’s a fun ride. But it’s really intense. Really fast. Will never do it again 😭😂

[@cherylwidrig390]

Hey there, I just went yesterday. My youngest son,25, has repeatedly asked me to ride this with him. I never have and said I would yesterday. OMG!!! I too was in the front row on a motorcycle. I was good till I got to the spot with Hagrid & maybe a scorpion then I closed my eyes. When we got to that? I think it was 1:32? same as you, he excitably said,” Mom, open your eyes!” I did and if I was ever going to die of being scared to death it would have been then. I was tariffed!!! I closed my eyes so tightly & so fast & gripped those handle bars like my life depended on it. Finally what seemed like an hour was probably 2 minutes. When I was a kid my family went to Six Flags over Georgia. I think that is what it is called. I had never ridden a roller coaster before and this was the first one. I also sat in the front row and it was the biggest one at the time. After that I Never wanted to ride one again. Kids… the things we do for them. 💕

[@georgebranum8874]

this was my first rollercoaster ive ever ridden, and i got the very back seat, and oh boy am i scared of literally everything now. even mine train!

[@hothotheat3000]

It’s much more intense than the video or watching it in the queue let on. The acceleration combined with the turns is CRAZY. I was lucky enough to ride in the first bike and it was INCREDIBLE. Screamed my head off the entire time.

[@maincoasters]

it’s not intense really

[@inedanap6253]

@@maincoasters Okay Mr. Fun Police

[@Theophilus-jf7tk]

seriously, DONT let the wait intimidate you! it is 100% worth it!

[@kyliej8160]

the wait time for this was so worth it

[@eddietime1811]

I really expected a kiddy coaster when I was going in. Completely blown away

[@kishalashawn5542]

Me too 😂

[@USMCHelloKitty]

My favorite ride out of the entire park, for now. Waiting for Super Nintendo World and DK’s Mine Cart Madness to open.

[@phantomnyx3639]

I love this ride. One of the first times me and my friend went on it, it broke down for a few minutes, and turned into a mini tower of terror. We broke down right at the point where you’re entangled in the devil snare, right before it drops you for the final race on the ride. The ride literally halted right before the drop, best thing ever.

[@thestallion5513]

Let me tell u, this is completely different in terms of intensity from actually being there. It was wayy more intense than i thought 😂😂

[@singularity6761]

Same with the velocicoaster, which I recommend to ride afterwards ;)

[@tweakLeeds2006]

This ride was built for me, just about my level - anything else I'd run a mile. Really enjoyed this ride every day last week.

[@OAMLLMAO]

Rest In Peace , Robbie ❤

[@shearperfect3150]

Once the forest 🌳 really matured this ride will be even better than it already is…. Imagine flying thru trees

[@camilam9544]

YASSSS That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@i33y_m4y]

as someone who has been deathly afraid of rollercoasters for 18 years, this was an insane ride. my first “big” coaster and nothing prepares you for the speed. it is genuinely even faster than this video. the speed is next level

[@Westhamfan2917]

Honestly I didn’t even know that drop was coming

[@lam601]

Best ride hands down!! Harry Potter rides did not disappoint.
