Horrendous. We asked at the start of the ride if this one was scary and the attendant assured us it wasn’t. He said it’s a slow gentle ride and you only tip back onto your back a few times. Lies! The best way I can describe it is that it’s exactly like what I imagine Hell would be. Horrible, screaming sounds at top volume while you are violently rocked back and forth and onto your back then spit on by a dragon. It was so awful, I had to keep my eyes closed the entire time. Felt sick for a while after. As we were walking away, I heard the attendant telling another concerned looking family, how gentle the ride was. I almost went over to correct him but didn’t want to be rude.
Pros:
The ride eventually endedCons:

This ride was so much fun, any Harry Potter fan would love it. It was a lot of movement and screen that show different things going on in hogwarts. However if you are prone to motion sickness, I would not ride it. Overall really fun, some of the movements were a bit iffy but it was great
Pros:
Decent, mixed rollar coaster with 3D in a kid friendly-ish kind of wayCons:
You would get motion sickness if you get that a lotReviewed by ChrisSmileMore Review Date: 09/15/2022

Very cool and unique ride. I don't normally get motion sick on screen based rides,but this one does sometimes get me.
But I LOVE the bits where you're zipping around the scenery and creatures.
Baffled that this gets such short queues now.
Pros:
Theming is great. Very uniqueCons:

SOOOO Scary! I heard it was similar to Soarin. The beginning is very similar. But it moves around so much. I am not a coaster person, but I would rather ride a coaster than ride this again. It is also really dark and scary. Not appropriate for kids at all, which is fine since they probably wouldn't be tall enough to ride this anyway.
Pros:
Great for HP fans. Getting to walk through the castle is really cool. And the beginning of the ride is fun.Cons:
AWFUL for those who don't like rollercoasters or thrill rides. Dark, scary, and jerky. If you (or your kids) are scared easily, don't bother with this.Reviewed by DisneyNewbie41 Review Date: 04/10/2022

Had to keep my eyes closed or I would have sure gotten sick ( I did get sick after). The queue was definitely 10 out of 10! I wish I had taken a Dramamine.
Pros:
Best queue of any ride!Cons:

I just can’t ride this one anymore. At all. I used to ride it with my eyes closed when it was in front of a screen, but I have to sit this one out now. I do enjoy the immersive experience. But I can’t get over how sick it makes me. If I were you I’d walk through the queue then walk out the exit.
