Hey All! Apologies for the take down / re-upload, the last one received a Copyright claim from WB, and mix that with a few aspects of the initial post we weren’t 100% happy with, and we decided it was best to re-edit a HP footage heavy portion and re-release it today. Apologies for any inconvenience, but we hope you enjoy the episode!!
Friggin WB lol jk
ohh, this is a re-upload. I thought this was going to be more info about how the scrapped version would have gone and was confused at why there hadn't been anything new yet. Guess that's on me for not fully realizing.
No biggie this was still a great vid
Thats alright, we understand.
And yes the video did make my day, and watching it helped me feel a bit better.
I started watching this and had the most wicked sense of deja vu.
Thanks for clearing up my metaphysical dilemma
JK Rowling: you can’t mess with pre-established characters and plot points from the books that is my job
2001 A Waste Of Space 😂😂
Lol I mean she did creat it so she can do what she wants right? Is this about the black girl for the play?
@@woodbooger6506 So it is about the black girl and a gay Dumbledore or you wouldn't have said she is a revisionist. I have yet to see a Egyptian movie without white english men or Scott's and that's actually history not fairy tales and you didn't whine about that revisionist tactic. It's a fucking book about wizard's get the fuck over it. You right winger's are always talking about the left complaining and playing victim but ur bitching about diversity of wizard and witches that aren't even real and is for for kid's. She created the world and can make change's regardless of her reason's. No one is playing me especially over Harry Potter fairy tails trust me lol
@@whysoserious6685 Exactly. Just look at the backlash over a black Little Mermaid. It's a fairy tale...like it matters.
@@TECfan1 lol right atleast you feel me......what's the saying....... "equality feel's like oppression to those in power". He erased his comment because he knew it was bs and hypocritical. It's crazy how a black mermaid and gay wizard can cause so much bitching and controversy.
They should of given Rupert more to do since he was actually there
ShinyPrettyFancy I agree, but the reason the creative team had such a difficult time designing this was because JK insisted the storyline stayed canonical. Ron wouldn’t really be able to host the ride or do much more since he was technically away with Hermione and Harry looking for the horcrux.
@@santanasbananas and as we learned from Fantastic Beasts, she has the utmost respect for established canon and doesn't just do whatever non-sensical thing she wants
By playing Bill Weasley in Escape From Gringotts and General Hux in Rise of the Resistance, Dohmnall Gleeson is the only person to play a character in both a Disney and a Universal attraction
Don't forget Chris Pratt, Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy
Our of date now, Chris Pratt is in both the California and Florida versions of Universal and Disney with Jurassic World and Mission Breakout in California and Velocicoaster and Cosmic Rewind in Florida
This ride doesn't get the credit it deserves. Despite Disney wanting us to believe that the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster will be the first storytelling rollercoaster, Universal actually beat them to that punch with Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™.
Wait, what about Hagrid’s Motorbike adventure too? How could the guardians of the galaxy be the first?
@@breakfastburritos19 It's what Disney said during a press release, at least according to a Jim Hill podcast, "Universal Joint Episode 12: Why it’s time to stop bashing Universal for its screen-based rides" to be exact. I found an entry that talks about it on DisneyParksBlog. Looking over it though, maybe Jim Hill was paraphrasing.
Meh I’m more of a guardians fanatic than a wizard type of dude I like Potter just not as much as Bruce the shark
Rock n Roller Coaster isn’t a story Coaster?
@@Donillini Nope.
We really need a video on the disaster that is Fast n Furious Supercharged. Really wanna know the decision making behind that ride
AvoidTIMtation 😂😂😂😂😂😂that ride is awful!!!!
AvoidTIMtation omg yes! That ride is the worst thing I’ve ever rode! First off, the line wait said 20 minutes but we literally ended up waiting almost 2 hours for that shit fest. (Which happened to be a sorry version of a ride, the fuck? That thing was like a minute long? Not to mention 90% was half naked women dancing???) it was the saddest looking ride in that park.
I have never felt more dissapointed than the second I got off the damn "ride"
I agree. It’s the worst ride I’ve ever been on. I’d rather go dit on the tee-cup ride for the whole day, and I hate those.
Fun fact. Most team members agree with you. None of us like it either. Kinda dropped the ball.
It'd be funny if they got Elijah Wood when Radcliffe said no
🤣
Yesterworld: The wait time for the ride reached up to six hours
Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure: Hold my beer
If this ain't the fuckin' truth. My brother went to the opening day for Hagrid's ride and it was an all day experience for him. I was not willing to stand in Florida summer for that nonsense. I stayed home lol.
I'm so impatient lmfaoo all I think about when thinking of theme parks is wait time pfft.
Mannnnn I just came back from a 5 days stay there and when I say it was “at capacity” literally 4 of the 5 days I stayed it was no joke. One of my favorite rides though so it’s well worth it lol
Hold my ButterBeer
I was lucky since at night during the fireworks they opened it with a 30 minute wait time
This was June 2019
It's great to see Bill at Gringotts in this ride, as the books and the movies always mentioned him working there, but we never got to see it.
so j.k rowling insisted there could be nothing that interfered with continuity of the books for the ride? hahahahahahaha that's funny coming from the person who every other day makes up some new thing
theoneandonly well Dumbledore was coded gay .
Politisch Interessiert he loves cock and ball torture too
But really...what actually interferes with pre-established plot? It's popular to say she changed a bunch of stuff...but I yet to hear what she actually changed. Reveling things about characters is not changing...it's just establishing previously unknown details.
@@TECfan1 Easy example: time-turners in Cursed Child work in a way that directly contradicts PoA.
How do any of the things she say mess with continuity? You just sound like a whiny bitch
FYI, the single riders lines and possibly the fast pass one as well skip pretty much all of the pre-show elements.
They've been cutting the photo opportunity a lot recently too since it's staffed by Amazing Pictures.
Folap i've been on the single riders and its soooooo much shorter! i was able to get on the ride, in just minutes!
mintty kookiie candy torchwood:3 It’s nice but just beware that the single riders line skips the bank entry part with all the troll tellers and also the elevator part, you go straight to the main ride.
Yeah, I did single rider because the regular line was so long and I missed all of the pre shows and still had to wait like 40 minutes in a single rider line entirely full of large groups of people.
Fast pass lane goes along the same basic route as the normal line, but much shorter wait time. (My hubby and I had fast passes our first two days there two weeks ago)
It kinda bugs me that actors who made a life time living can't come back for a few days of filming with basically old friends. Just seems disrespectful to the fans and source material
I've personally always felt that way too :(
Yeah it would seem like not the big a deal especially for fans and what you basically owe an entire career to but it seem like Daniel and probably Emma don't really want to associate with Harry Pottee anymore now that they aren't under contract. Which is kind of sad because Daniel will always still be Harry to most people even if he does other amazing and different roles.
The more I think of it he still didn't escape being in the ride, so he might as well have gotten paid for it.
It sucks that they didn’t want to come back but I can understand that they didn’t want to be known just for that role.
But They Still are, you can't hide from your first huge. I mean maybe one day they'll do something bigger but I doubt it Potter is this generations Star Wars @@AlexYadaYada
Do the history of MR. TOAD'S WILD RIDE DISNEYLAND(-1955)
Yes!!!! I was going to ask if he can do Mr. Toad!
I would love that!
@Pink Freud thank you
Me too
And definitely WDW's defunct version too!
i just love how the dragon on the outside of the building breathes fire. it made my whole day when i saw that!
I want there to be a interactive quidditch ride if that could be possible. In my mind that would be super fun- if the possibility of it turning out is high.
That would be sick if they made that. that would be thrilling or even like an experience like in one of the film's when they went to the quidage tournament, when they like spun in the sky hit the ground and watched that dope tournament til Mr. No nose and his army of people hadda mess it up. I could see Disney making a ride like that. Because I can't see people going on like fake brooms around an area being lifted, for safety reasons but if they got people to be able to sit in a cart of some sort and had all around video playing the scenery I think it would be dope.
I could have sworn I just watched this...
Must've been magic
Or the work of Killer Queen.

How is JKR gonna tell an amusement park to stay true to the essence of her work and then hop on Twitter the next day to completely retcon said work????
I've stopped reading any new books or seeing any new Harry Potter-based films since she went all weird, claiming Dumbledore was "supposed" to be gay all along and that Hermione was "supposed" to be black. Seems she conveniently forgot that she did mention in one of the books that Hermione was definitely NOT black.
@@largol33t1 the only mention of Hermione's skin was in the Prisoner of Azkaban book where they greet harry in diagonally, it just said that she looked tanned and Ron had more freckles, in nowhere in the book apart from Kingsley Shacklebolt is skin colour mentioned for any character and when they were preparing the film script for the Half-Blood Prince in 2008/9 Rowling told Heyman that Dumbledore was gay so I don't get why people are so upset by this. She left a completely open look for the characters in the way of skin colour and sexual preference and her main focus for her storytelling was the plotline. It's only in recent years that people have become so obsessed and sensitive to skin and sexual preference information.
@@charlessoutherton8946 because people are racist and homophobic. Simple as that...
@@TheRealSweedie Simple? Real life? I believe you overestimate your chances.
@@charlessoutherton8946 Some people really just don't want a gay character, it's true.
They also have not heard all the background information for the set-up, and think it's just Rowling pandering to the Twitter hate mobs who keep demanding stupid things BECAUSE INCLUDE!!!!! pretending they're saving the world and still hating just the same when they get them. I haven't heard any of it, but I also don't remember a reason he *couldn't* be gay...
Some people are sticklers for continuity and also missed the fact that there's no reason Dumbledore couldn't be gay.
Then again, some continuity errors are massive and if you have an entire series of films where you've used a white actress, making her suddenly black is a sideways hit that leaves you with a production like an abysmal end-of-year primary school play. If Rowling wanted her black she should have cast a black actress for the movies.
And, some people just don't want any noticeable changes, at all costs. For them it will automatically suck, whether it objectively does or not.
Went to Universal a few years ago & tell ya the truth? I remembered absolutely nothing from this ride. I remembered that I'd gone on it, I've got pictures from the line to prove it, & I really loved the theming in Gringotts itself but I had absolutely no memory of the events of the ride till they played in the video. I can remember those little stage shows they put on in Diagon Alley & the village just fine, and I vividly remember whatever ride that was in the castle but completely forgot the one with the _dragon_
Though tbh, the biggest thing i remember from the Hogwarts castle ride was going in as a solo rider & needing to run on the moving platform to catch my ride. All while the staff were like "gogogogogo!", that was fun.
I wish we had seen more of Bill Weasley in the films. (At least he wasn't almost completely edited out like Charlie, though.) Still, I liked the whole Weasley family in the books and wish more of their dynamic was shown. So it's nice Bill got some time to shine in this ride's narrative. Domhnall Gleeson playing Bill was a revelation I only recently learned. Alastor Moody was played by his father, Brendan. (On a meta level, that makes Bill being the one to inform the Order of the Phoenix about Mad-Eye's death in Deathly Hallows Part 1 even darker.) He seems like an actor with a range for sure. I first heard his name attached to General Hux, the character he plays in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. That character more resembles an extra evil Percy Weasley in his kiss-up stage lol!
Thankyou for that fact, now I know you can kinda see it!
To be fair, there were a LOT of Weasley children. And there were a LOT of other characters who were more important than Charlie. It's hard to juggle that many characters, so sometimes you have to cut some.
Can you do a history of Disneyland railroad?! Why does it have the Grand Canyon and prehistoric scene? And why is Peter and wolf playing during the Grand Canyon scene? I’ve always been curious.
The Reupload starring Bette Midler
When I went on the ride for the first time last November, I was really disappointed. As a die hard Harry Potter fan, and a massive fan of Forbidden Journey, I was expecting to love Gringotts but I left it heartbroken because it was just not that great. One of the biggest problems I had with it was the arbitrary shoehorning in of Voldemort. He served no purpose and was cast aside so flippantly, it really undermined his character as the ultimate villain of the franchise. And there's no way he would have encountered Harry there and just ran away like that. The ride was almost entirely screen-based, when I was anticipating much more physical sets like FJ. I knew it was more screen heavy going in, but I didn't think it was going to be like 95% screens and 5% sets. The original version probably would have been a lot better because it wouldn't have screwed with the HP canon like the current ride does. They should have stayed true to the story and made a better ride that actually made sense.
it’s such a cheap ride. this is why i’d rather go to disney more
@@kjdraws9159 I doubt it was cheap. It probably cost well over $100million. There were just elements that were poorly executed, especially in comparison to the elements that were done very well. Also in comparison to Forbidden Journey which is possibly the best dark ride ever made.
TheRealConcertKing you’ve raised some good points, and i absolutely agree with them. it’s just that universal sticks with virtual reality rides more than physical ones. gringotts is partially physical, but they could’ve done a lot more. i’m glad nothing bad happened with hmcma
Meh.. I thought it was pretty fantastic.
They should just made it a coaster
Everyone in the comments getting mad about JKR's rants about Dumbledore's sexuality or Hermione's race but they're all complete ignoring the most insane rectoning where she explains how witches and wizards use the bathroom by taking a dump literally anywhere and the magic it away, after she wrote a whole book where a bathroom was literally the center piece of the whole plot.
I get that J.K Rowling wanted the ride to both be true to the original source but also not interfere with cannon story plot (even though she is going back now and changing things herself.) I always felt that theme park rides were always just in their own storyline. Its a ride, after all. Its not really suppose to be taken seriously as cannon to the movie / books. Its just suppose to be faithful to the source material and entertain.
When I went on the ride last time, after bill asks: “are you okay?” a girl screamed: BETTER YOU ARE HERE and honestly I will never forget that
I love how Helena Bonham Carter who is a huge star was fine filming a few scenes for this but Daniel and Emma were too good to come back. Come on guys its just for fun. They should have done it.
HBC is older, established and at a more comfortable point in her career. Dan and Emma (and maybe Rupert to a lesser extent) were trying to figure out what kind of work they wanted to do outside of HP. Typecasting happens quick and it's hard to shake, and also they were probably burnt out on the whole experience. As much as the ride is for the fans, it's also for the studio to make a shedload more money.
Totally agree... The Hermione on the train sounds terrible
Ive rode Escape from Gringotts twice, and Ive never seen the pre shows or all the stuff before the ride as I always used the single rider queue as it was always an hour or less wait rather than 6 hours :') So seeing all the preshow stuff was really interesting to see, Thanks! :)
I know what you mean. When I was there regular line was lime 1 hour and single rider was 1 minute or automatically board. 🤣 I understand the want for wanting to ride with friends / family the first time or two but after that why not just save hours of time and go through the other line?
In case someone reads this before going on this ride, some tips from my experience:
- Try to get first (or second) row, I was last row twice, it makes some scenes a little harder to see and you don't feel the water where it should be.
- Try to get on the first cart, if you are on the second, you see the first cart in front of you, which takes a little bit from the experience.
- Don't make the safety bar too tight, we got stuck at the end of the ride (where the carts park for a moment before you head to the exit) for 25 minutes and had the safety bars locked pretty tight, which made our feet fall asleep after a couple minutes, and that hurts.
Um, I've been on it and you do NOT get a choice of where you sit. The attendants tell you which row to sit in. I went alone twice and was put in the second row every time.
I’ve been subscribed to both of your channels for a little while and just now realized you manage both. Seriously didn’t even connect the two there. Good work man, keep it up.
Escape from Gringotts Starring Bette Midler!
I finally understand the story line of the ride. Up until now it just seemed like a hodge podge of Death Eaters, Voldemort and the trio throwing spells around and the cart careening about. Thank you for that.
Daniel Radcliffe will always be known as Harry Potter, period. If Danny manages to get another roll, fans will always say, "that's Harry Potter!"
And? He has more than enough money to never act again. It's his decision.
This is why he does the throw away fun movies, because he can and they are glorious.
@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra Yeah.... It's not like these dummies ever go broke.
Been waiting for the last few days for the reupload!
The Gringotts "ride" was a massive hype and even more massive disappointment. The motorbike ride was the real attraction the area needed. Now, one park has better setpieces and immersion, and the other has better rides.
I blame Universal's asinine reliance on simulators.
To think Disney could have owned all this! Im glad the mouse missed out!
idk... seeing what they’ve done with Galaxy’s Edge and Pandora has me wondering how cool a Harry Potter land could’ve been
@@legoghostyoda those are only cool because of Potter's influence. There are videos that talk about Disney's plans for Harry Potter, and it wasn't good. There is a reason JK went to universal.
I'm glad they missed out. They would have ruined Diagon Alley. Disney's plan was terrible: They did NOT want to build Hogwarts Castle and they wanted the entire "land" to take up a FRACTION of the size it is today. There would have been no way to fit Diagon Alley into Fantasyland. That's how misguided they were. Thank god Universal gave Rowling a lot of power to determine how everything in the park would look. She was insistent that Diagon Alley be large enough so that nobody could see the other parts of the park over the rooftops. That way visitors would be immersed in Harry's world. Smart psychological trick there. Interestingly, someone did marketing research on both theme parks. Universal sells more cups of butterbeer than all the drinks Disney sells in Galaxy's Edge! I'm not surprised. When I went there, the butterbeer stands were crowded and this was in January, which is basically the off-season!
While they did cast a PHENOMENAL voice double for Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watsons, was not so fortunate...
Universal Studios, I remember when I stole...err..borrowed their studio park idea. In the long run, it was a great idea. DHS is about to get even better with the addition of Galaxy’s Edge. Everybody loved Toy Story and I know everyone will love Galaxy’s Edge
Hey, didn't you resign 15 years ago?
@@andrewreegs6319 I think he's talking about when he stole the idea from Universal and made his own studio park, and that he's happy for what Iger has done for the park
@@AverytheCubanAmerican Why are you on every TH-cam comment section???
You mean Bob Iger's everything is obscenely priced, cheap, plastic looking, and pretentious Star Wars (but not the Star Wars you know) area? Yeah! People love 200 dollar plastic lightsabers and 8 dollar coconut milk, I'm surprised you didn't do it in the 90s!
Do a history of Rip Ride Rockit
Any chance you'll do a video on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (both DL and WDW versions)?

Morgan the Magnificent CYOAR! 👍
Morgan the Magnificent LOL
Daniel Radcliffe needs to learn that no matter what he will always be known as Harry Potter lol don’t really get what the problem with filming it is and why he turned it down.
Honestly the fact it contradicts canon so hard is really annoying but not more annoying then the fact the Wizarding world part of Universal references guests as muggles and contradicts canon I feel much more.
We are all muggles, what's the issue? You want they should pretend you're a witch or wizard?
The new (technically fourth gate, if you count Volcano Bay) has been rumored for a long time until the leak this year.
The main rumor for Potter though is the Ministry of Magic (MoM) of anyone has time to read further into it.
Most sensible since we have Hogwarts and now the Forbidden Forest taken care of. It's only time before Lost Continent bites it too... :/
They currently are having construction on the 4th park which is named "fantastic worlds". Its a hub to stem park as well
Why is Joe rohde in the universal interview lol??
I screamed after noticing him.
How does it nut turn into a giant shitting contest if you do Disney and Universal together?
MasterKenobiWan this is the weirdest fucking comment I’ve ever seen and that’s saying something
Daniel Radcliffe needs a little humility. I understand he doesn't want to be typecast, but it's a ride, not another movie. Without that franchise, he wouldn't even have had a career whatsoever.
Why is scrapped in the title? I thought that this was going to be a video about a ride that never happened or a ride that was a failure.
Because the original concept was scrapped. There's plenty of whiny Harry Potter fans who don't like the ride because of the addition of Voldemort.
HOLY CRAP! I separately subscribed to this account and BattlefrontKnight without realizing any correlation until you plugged this video in your latest Battlefront video.
Mind. Blown.
I remember waiting in line for maybe around 2 hours to ride this on my first and so far only visit to this park. Honestly, I remember it being worth the wait. My biggest regret is not being able to go on it more than once due to the long lines
The roller coaster Hagrid's is so bad that I gave up. Went at rope drop and it just kept breaking down again and again. After nearly FOUR hours in line and hearing more delays and seeing the empty cars go around for another half hour, I gave up. it's a disaster and should be either rebuilt even if it takes a month or two or torn down and replaced. The ride is hardly new, it opened over seven months ago and is still plagued with all kinds of problems.
Should have gone as a single rider. My wait was 5 mins
Heh sorry jaws but Harry Potter is better
Yeah, I’ve never heard a shark yell stuff like “Avada Kedavara!”, “Wingardium Leviosa!”, or “Expecto Patronum!”.
Gringotts is such a short ride
Can you please do The History of Mr Toads Wild Ride At Disneyland and Walt Disney World
I went to orlando a month ago and rode this and it was awesome. Last time i was in orlando was in 1994 so it was a great experience.
Ride should end with the Shark jumping out of the water
Those are not trolls. They are Mooks, larger (stupider) versions of goblins, usually used as muscle or enforcers.
See, I didn't mind the storytelling, the screens, the set up, etc. My issue was it being in 3d. If you are going to turn people facing straight down suddenly, don't give them glasses that can fall off and ruin their experience. The first time it happened to me, I thought it was just the glasses were a bit too stretched for my wee lil head. Second time the same thing happened. Now instead of enjoying the ride, I have to be conscious of holding my glasses at certain parts.
As someone that use to wear regular glasses, 3D was unwatchable and I ended up really not liking this ride.
Awesome video!! You rock!! You inspired me to create my channel!! Check it sometime!!
Each time Bill Weasley saves you, everyone in the car should yell, “Thanks General Hux!”
I thought they got Dan, Rupert, and Emma back. Kind of annoyed he didn’t come back, Dan’s voice actor is really but Emma’s is awful.
love this ride and even my mom and grandma said this was the smoothest ride at the park 😍
While I really like this ride, I think the version they originally planned would be better. I thought it was real dumb when voldemort showed up
If you've got a 3D telly and have the glasses to hand, the 3D footage actually kind of works! It's not proper 3D, but you can see some of the effects working.
It’s….for the best that the Disney thing didn’t happen but this thing seems cool
Saw 25.1.22
Fuck yeah double drift is back!
Dewit!!! Love your battlefront knight channel!
This is my favorite of the Harry Potter rides in the parks. I had no idea there was a whole other story originally planned for the ride, among all the other behind the scenes details.
I think many would agree it should have been a crazy rollercoaster..
JK Rowling to me seems like just an awful person to work with. I get it, she had a rough past and had her life saved by her franchise (she was suicidal when her stories kept getting rejected) and as a writer myself I get not wanting people to mess with your stuff, but jesus she demands 100% control of even the smallest number of details and retcons things on the fly
I think it's because Harry Potter did so much to change her life that she's super desperate to keep her claws in it and try to shove it back constantly into the limelight by adding on tactless details.
I was just at universal studios Orlando it was sick I got picked for olivanders wand expireance
When you ride the Hogwarts Express and the trio come by the door I can’t bare to listen to Hermione’s voice...it’s so high and pitchy and sounds NOTHING like Emma. It’s really embarrassing
If jk Rowling still disagreed with universal, they could changed the plans to west wallaby Street from wallace and gromit. Escape from gringotts would become a Wallace and gromit ride, the train become a Shaun the sheep ride themed to a hayride, knockturn alley would become mossy bottom farm and be connected to the Shaun ride, the wand experience would become testing Wallace's inventions, the leaky cauldron would become a cheese emporium, the ice cream parlour would be themed to a matter of loaf and death with other pastries, the fountain of fair fortune would become a Shaun pizzeria since the flock likes pizza, the hopping pot would become a were rabbit salad bar, the knight bus would become Wallace's car which would be a Wallace and gromit meet and greet, the dragon would become the rocket from a grand day out crashed onto Wallace and gromit's house which would keep the fire thing with it coming from the bottom of the rocket, borgin and burkes would become a Shaun farmers market, the shops would become stuff like Wallace's invention shop and gromit's gifts.
I understand artistic integrity and all that jazz, but if I were an actor that got cast in something as popular as Harry Potter, I'd never let go of it. Catch those bitches trying to film a brand that I was in without me! "I don't wanna play Harry Potter when I'm 30." Bitch, why? Take the damn paycheck and basque in your own glory for a little bit longer!
I'm just going to say what everyone is thinking... Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are assholes for not reprising their roles. It's very selfish for them to refuse to come back for something that audiences will experience for many years to come. They really caused Universal big problems just because they personally didn't want to do it.
JKRowling: "The ride can't contradict what happens in the novel at all."
Universal: Makes a ride that has nothing to do with the novels.
It's big brain time.
me and my Brother never went there do to money and are Parents pass away of Cancer so I have not been to Disney Land since 1991 and Disney World in Florida 1994 so we miss out do to Money and even tho I graduate High School I could never get Hire because I had a disablity so we miss out and watch on youtube
It's a good ride with an amazing Q but it doesn't flow very well. Too many stops. Forbidden journey is a better ride
Ok wait I love Harry Potter so I find it a little rude for Daniel Radcliffe to dismiss 'his' role. He's the one and only HP. Just my opinion.
Why is the narration so bad on this video compared to everything else on this channel? Need to work on annunciation and slow down, as up the 5:50 mark it several times sound like you say "Harry rides Hermione" and many other times half your sentences make no sense due to all the words running together into an incomprehensible jumble
Dewit
Dewit
first
was the ride gay all along
probably
If it wasn’t jk will rewrite it again
Purpabear that was clever as fuck
They should get rid of Diagon alley and put jaws back I think that would be cool
"Flagship attraction"
Well I suppose when you're alone you're the flagship by default.
I do wish they had another attraction in the area. Universal deff has too many shops and not enough rides.
@@vianjelos It's sandwiched between Fast and Furious and Fear Factor Live, give it time
Average ride. Absolutely terrible when compared to the Hogwarts ride.
Yesterworld and the Escape from Stitch
Really wish they got a better voice actor for Hermione on the train. She sounds awful. On gringotts she sounds closer to Emma. I wonder why they didn’t use the same person
Or use film footage to come up with lines
Literally my favorite ride at Universal Studios/Island of Adventures
Forbidden journey is still my favorite but this is a close 2nd
It was forbidden journey for me until hagrids came.
Went recently and loved the ending remarks on the ride
What do you think of Galaxy’s Edge?
Was that defuctland talking?
I’m not a fan of Harry Potter but I still really enjoyed this video👍. Though 99% of the ride is pretty much nothing but screens; ngl kinda disappointed.
Wonder what another expansion could bring, I can’t think of many non muggle set pieces other than maybe the Weasley Burrow and the ministry that have yet to be used
Roger Pessimistic The rumors are that it would be themed to Fantastic Beasts, so likely a Wizarding New York like with the London section.
They could also do a ride based on Tom Riddle's past or make a replica of Godfrey's Hollow.
I wish they would at least make a land based on the Ministry of Magic. Imagine the kinds of rides they could cram into that.
Did Joe roadie work at both Disney and universal????
I think we gotta give Daniel Radcliff ten years for him to okay Harry Potter for the Cursed Child and he can be a dad.
Okay but why is Hermione in a Slytherin tie in the thumbnail?
Pickle Master I’d still give it to her
Can you do the history of the Railroads at Disney Parks (Disneyland Railroad, WDW Railroad, Western River Railroad etc.)?
They should've made an attraction that involves running between various goblins to obtain various paperwork. A true experience in bureaucracy.
So, Gringotts and the first HP ride exist in two separate locations in two separate parks. I always thought they added Diagon because people would go to the "wrong" park lol It seemed like a ploy to get people to pay for two-park passes
I went on this ride last year, it was great.
I helped open this park and remember having to help give out water and sell food to folks in the Gringotts line. There were days where it literally never moved. We couldn't even ride it for the employee preview but it was so fun the second we got to
Is the narrator Kevin Perjurer of Defunctland? I enjoy both channels. Just curious if Kevin regularly narrates for Yesterworld. Could be my speakers, but it sounds like him to me...
