A Must Do! This is one of the top rides at Universal, and it's an absolute must do for any Harry Potter fan out there. From the moment you step through the doors of Gringotts, you're transported into the books. The detailed queue should certainly be experienced (even if you're not a fan of the ride itself). This is a thrill ride, and it has incredible storytelling. The ride is a simulator ride, but you move through room to room as well.
Pros:
Detailed queue, fast paced thrill ride.Cons:
May cause motion sickness.Reviewed by Winniethepooh Review Date: 09/14/2020

Once again another Harry Potter rollercoaster that was more than I expected. This is probably my second favorite if the Harry Potter rides.

I was in Gringotts had quite the adventure in there. Another good ride to do if it’s raining too.Cons:

Best ride on Universal Studios side! It’s the best combination of simulation and rollercoaster without making me sick like some of the other simulators around Universal.
Pros:
- lots of Harry Potter things - good seat no matter where you sitCons:
- seats a little tight for plus size people - spins at one pointReviewed by Downert Review Date: 09/14/2020

Amazing queue and trackCons:

This ride is so amazing and fun! Perfect for any fan of HP, but also enjoyable if you have never seen the movies or read the books. The themeing is so cool and you feel like you are in the movie through the simulators. What is really cool about it is that it is a roller coaster as well! The line is also amazing!
Pros:
themeing, fast, feel like you are in the movie, smulator with movementCons:
can be scary for younger ridersReviewed by vcorriveau18 Review Date: 09/14/2020

Honestly, the queue alone gives it a 10/10 right off the bat. The ride itself is really well done, the story is great, and it's definitely more of a thrill than I've gotten on Disney rides. I rode with a friend who gets motion sick very easily but loves simulator rides anyway. She LOVED this ride and was too immersed in the story to even notice the motion sickness.
