    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts is an indoor steel roller coaster designed by Universal Creative and built by Intamin at Universal Studios Florida, a theme park located within the Universal Orlando Resort. Similar to dark rides, the roller coaster utilizes special effects in a controlled-lighting environment and also employs motion-based 3-D projection of both animation and live-action sequences to enhance the experience. The ride, which is themed to the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, became the flagship attraction for the expanded Wizarding World of Harry Potter when it opened on July 8, 2014.
    Universal Parks & Resorts, in partnership with Warner Bros., officially announced the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Islands of Adventure on May 31, 2007. The area officially opened in the Islands of Adventure theme park on June 18, 2010. The Harry Potter-themed area saw attendance at Islands of Adventure rise by as much as 36% in 2010. According to Jason Garcia of the Orlando Sentinel, this led to resort executives pondering "when to expand Wizarding World and how to keep business balanced between Islands and Universal Studios Florida". In April 2011, Brady MacDonald of the Los Angeles Times speculated that an area expansion would include the addition of Diagon Alley and a Gringotts-themed dark ride in place of the Lost Continent themed area in the park.
    On December 6, 2011, Universal park officials confirmed that an expansion would take place and described it as "significant". The announcement was made four days after the park confirmed the removal of Jaws, a ride scheduled to close permanently on January 2, 2012.Demolition of the Jaws ride and the surrounding Amity area began soon after its closure. After the site was leveled, work began on land reclamation as well as the construction of a series of buildings, including a large show building for the Gringotts ride.
    Further details about the expansion were announced on May 8, 2013, confirming new feature attractions themed after Diagon Alley and London. On January 23, 2014, the name of the area's flagship attraction was revealed to be Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. It was later described as a "virtual reality roller coaster" by Entertainment Weekly as additional details were released in May 2014.[24][25] The new ride opened on July 8, 2014, alongside other attractions in the new Diagon Alley section of the park.The building housing the attraction features a 60-foot (18 m) dragon statue perched over the entrance that utilizes special effects to simulate the breathing of fire. Upon opening, the wait times would reach up to seven hours long.
    After guests board their cart, the vehicle races along the tracks, just before security alarms go off as a security breach is detected and the bank goes on lockdown. Bellatrix Lestrange appears, after being notified of an impostor infiltration, and decides to torture the guests by cutting off the track and tilting it. This sends the cart speeding toward the vaults as stalagmites can be seen to give an impression of being deep underground. Bill Weasley casts Arresto Momentum to stop the cart just before Harry, Ron, Hermione and Griphook emerge from the Thief's Downfall, which has washed away the Polyjuice Potion's effect off Hermione. Their cart drops them from a high altitude as security trolls climb up, pushing Bill and Blordak off their cart.
    A security troll pushes the guests' cart further, past the Thief's Downfall and stops in front of more security trolls. One of them is hit by a mace but hangs on to the guests' cart and sends them falling. Bill casts Arresto Momentum again to stop the cart from falling, followed by Aguamenti to stop the Ukrainian Ironbelly from breathing fire on the guests (the audience gets sprayed with water at this point) and Wingardium Leviosa, sending guests' through the vaults. Meanwhile, Harry, Ron and Hermione are attempting to escape the vaults on the Ukrainian Ironbelly. Blordak urges guests to seek shelter inside one of the vaults.
    After entering the vault, the walls come crashing down and Nagini appears in an attempt to attack guests. Bellatrix reappears, this time with Lord Voldemort, who confronts guests, questioning them on their knowledge of Harry Potter's whereabouts. He blames Bellatrix for the vault infiltration, who again decides to torture guests sending them to a lava-filled chamber deep in the vaults. To further torture guests into revealing Harry Potter's whereabouts, Voldemort decides to administer "a little dose of pain to help you remember" and conjures a ball of fire. The Ukrainian Ironbelly crashes in from the opposite side, and Harry casts a counterspell, while the dragon spits fire towards Voldemort, who shields himself and Bellatrix and both later furiously retreat.

    There's more Bill Weasley on this ride than in the movies and as a Bill Weasley fangirl the need to go on this ride is real.

    incase someone is watching this trying to decide whether to ride it. note that when it tilts at the start scene with bellatrix IT DOES DROP! 😂 i didn’t realize til i was actually on the ride and people started putting their hands up. it was too late for me to brace myself before we dropped 😂😂😂 a very fun ride though and the drop is bearable as i’m someone who doesn’t really ride coasters as much as the rest of my family

    It’s great! If you go on a quieter day, and do single rider, you can ride multiple times. The only drawback to single rider is that you miss the pre-show. It takes you straight to the ride queue, so you don’t get any setup. I didn’t care. Rode it seven times in one day.

      I know, last time I went I used single rider, it was basically get right on the next ride vehicle. The regular line was like a 30 - 40 minute wait. I rode this ride like 5 or 6 times in a row. It never became any less exciting and each time it just blew my mind how amazing the technology of their rides is. I love watching these POVs but they can't convey how amazing the rides really are. I never went through the regular line but didn't care as much as I've never been a big Potter fan but the elevator that takes you underground is amazing. Next time I may have to check it out.. I had no idea the elevator was part of the queue line. Disney really needs to take notes.

    My family said the ride “wasn’t gonna be aggressive”, it was a lie. I’m never trusting my family with rides again. But it still looks enjoyable for roller coaster fans.

      I wouldn’t really consider this a true roller coaster as it isn’t very thrilling and is fairly tame, and there is only two somewhat intense parts to it that only last a couple seconds.

      @@TheTacticalTuna This to me is no more than a mild kid's rollercoaster. The next stage to me. Even though I am more of a huge roller coaster fan like Velocicoaster, I still always make sure to ride this just because it's just an enjoyable ride. Regardless what it does.
