YES YES AND YES! This may be super controversial, but this is actually my FAVORITE ride in all of Universal. Hagrid’s comes in a very close second to this (I’m so sorry)! Everything about this experience is incredible... the queue, the ride, the shop that you exit into... I love it!!

Pros:

The queue, the drop, the air conditioning!

Cons:

If you’re a large person you may not be able to ride, my husband isn’t obese he’s just very tall and broad and he was unable to ride and he was so sad (he did snag a couple of fast passes for his trouble!)

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.

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

Pros:

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

Cons:

I can’t think of anything!

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 sit

Cons:

- seats a little tight for plus size people - spins at one point

Amazing ride, love that it incorporates both regular track and simulation but can make you nauseous if you don’t like simulation.

Pros:

Amazing queue and track

Cons:

Simulation

First drop is great, especially in very back row

Cons:

3d glasses are fuzzy at times

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 movement

Cons:

can be scary for younger riders
