      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.

    Great coaster for anyone who is scared of them, such as myself. This was the first roller-coaster I have been on since the start of my fear when I was very little. 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. That familiar position gives the illusion of control and did wonders to calm my nerves.

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.

      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.

    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!

Like many say words can’t describe it. I also was lucky enough to get front row my first time on Mummy yesterday. Both rides are now my top favorites. Hagrids is so smooth and the drops aren’t massive (or if they are they feel so smooth you can’t tell). Definitely ride this to everyone who can, its a blast! 😁

Its so fast, smooth, and the curves are thrilling for me. The bike seat is likely my favorite (i tried both cart and bike) the bike its easier to lean into the curves to make it easier. The speed though is by far my favorite element

I would have rode it 20 times if i could. The track being so long with the steep twists and turns it had multiple high speed launches, a drop, you go in reverse and the narration is beautifully spoken and the music fits well, the coaster also goes through the castle and near the pond i rode in the side car which was fun but riding in the bike would have been more fun as you feel as if you are really driving the coaster.

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. 💕
