      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!

      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

    I got stuck on this ride right before the drop. If you ever have gone on the ride, you know you were tilted down a lot. Ended up staying tilted for a few minutes before it started up again but with the lights on. We could see the drop too which made it worse. And what made it even even more worse is that we were seated in the back where we are tilted the most.

    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. ☹️

    In a sense the queue here seems more impressive than the actual ride. The ride is great, but from my perspective it seems like they over-rely on screens. I'm sure it looks and feels more immersive when you're actually there. I like how Rise of the Resistance limits screen usage to where it's necessary to convey scale or do effects on a well-themed environment. Overall this is a great attraction, though. Lots of fun effects and set pieces and highly immersive with an attention to detail.

      Yes it does rely on the screens a lot, but it's mostly a rollercoaster experience.

    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.

    Anyone else feel antsy watching this with people so close and without masks, crazy how 2020 has messed with our minds. (Yes I know this is pre-Covid).

      You have to wear masks now. I've not been on this one but I've been on Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey, which was great!

      Sadly I fear that we will never go back to the way things were before back when I was happy 😔

    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!
