This is a special attraction! Have you had a chance to ride?
Yesir it was the most intense roller coaster/ 4D ride that I ever rode
Yes and I loved it
Not yet, but I hope I get to!
Got to go w/ my older sister (a fellow Potterhead) to Universal the same week this (and Diagon Alley) opened - initial wait times were insane (I remember once it was at 500 minutes) but close to the end of the day, we waited a little over 2 hours and were super lucky to get front row center in the first car... so much fun and went off without a hitch (even though the next day I went and did it again as a single rider and we got stuck for 3 minutes in the penultimate scene area where the launch happens)! :D Definitely wanna go back eventually and especially try out Hagrid's Motorbike!
I rode it so many times when I last went. I love it.
I like how Bill Weasley appears more in this ride than in any of the films
*bruh moment*
HAHA YEA
Classic haha
Charlie: *cries on Romanian.
@@kunik61 when you don’t appear in either one
Every universal ride: welcome to a tour of something, oh no something wrong is happening,sprays water at you, yay you helped fix the problem
very true lol, but it works pretty well
I mean.... what other formula is there? Its supposed to be immersive and the custom stories you come across aint gunna be ripped from the movie/show.
You must be fun at parties.
@@TheRedfire08 Every now and then there is a different type like Rockin Roller Coster that's more of just lets get to the place instead of oh no something has gone wrong
@@capsulebargraph538 rockin rollercoaster is not at universal. Its at disney. Totally different park
This ride is so underrated by coaster enthusiasts, the drop looks nothing how it is irl, the drop is honestly terrifying.
That drop from the back row is the best
@@ThemeParkShark I agree 100%.
Dude my boyfriend went on it with me a couple weeks ago and he was so scared of the drop and I was like “WEEEEEEEEEE” 😂
Yeaahh it’s a very unexpected drop also hahaha it scared the shit out of me
@@ThemeParkShark Any drop from the back row is the best hahaha
they really did an awesome job building all of this... the bank... lots of time on detail... Fun ride. Hard to believe Jaws used to be there.
noooo i forgot about that
Can we just talk about those animatronics in the lobby for a second though? Those are some of the most fluently moving and impressive animatronics I’ve ever seen.
They looked like normal people lining up for the ride to me !
My parents absolutely ADORED the animatronics when we went for my birthday.
One of them looked up at me from his paperwork and shook his head in disapproval then looked back down at his paperwork. Whatever man.
No we can't. Stop asking permission and just do it.
@@quantumfoam2843 that one did that when my sister was dancing lmao
Such a great ride. Remember when being around so many people seemed perfectly normal?
Ah yes now im going back to universal studios ✨virtually✨
@iamchrispaez it was worth it
no, i really dont remember
Yeeah. Hopefully people will start taking it more seriously now and we can return to this type of this, within the foreseeable future
It’s hard to remember.
That drop from Bellatrix’s part was on point. Nearly flew out of my seat. 👌
i dont think ill ever have the chance to go to orlando so thank you for this
You are very welcome. Exactly why we have our account!
Ditto
Why not?
@@christophermendoza6936 Why do you think? There are tons of factors, obviously the biggest right now being the pandemic, which severely limits travel and the amount of things that are still open or have a limited capacity. Also, theme parks are expensive as hell, lol.
Baby if u broke just say that
I went on this ride today and it was super fun! Facing straight down before the drop was really intense, and the entire ride was very fast paced and fun.
That part is intense!
Fast paced?
You stop to watch movie clips over and over again.
Bro straight down? Its its like 40 degrees and not intense I was in the back too
@@garrettsfreetime8177 the troll one you don’t even fall your just sitting there tilted forward and then the bellatrix drop isn’t even that bad
@@ThemeParkShark question is it like 3d or Like a roller coaster
3 hours waiting for a 5 min Harry Potter ride??
TOTALLY WORTH IT
Fast past is the way to go though.
Or you could just go off season. Maybe it's worth it to you, but not me.
Agree. I don’t think I waited 3 hours but it was more like 1.5 hours. Got to be probably the best experience at Universal Studios. Amazing!
I just walked right onto the ride through the single rider line when I was there in August 2021.
@@chickensalad69 to do 2 hours instead of 3 ?
I'm glad you video taped this, now with the virus threat, even with the parks now open they had to make some changes to a bunch of rides.
You mean the authoritarian threat

From someone in Denmark who dont have the money to go there and is a big Harry Potter fan
Its my comfort movies and I watch them alot as they help me calming down-
having autism, ADD, Anxiety and Depression, large crowds and such can become overwhelming 🥺
But I just wanna say Thank you for sharing this
Well if you ever do go there you can actually get free express card for your whole party to get away from all those crowds and get in the ride faster
Most normal dutch person
nah man you need to experience this at least once :0
Wow, Domhnall Gleeson getting immortalized in multiple rides at different theme parks (as Bill Weasley here and as Hux in Rise of the Resistance at Disney).

If my bestie doesn't dress up in Hogwarts uniform, and go to Universal with me, buy wands, eat treats, AND ride the rides, I don't want them
But what if they get motion sickness...
@@GeneralCloudhopper idc they’re coming with me and that’s that 😤
Lets be besties
me nether.
Trust me. If you do all that, I wouldn't want you either.
This is probably the best queue of any ride in the whole world!
This is nothingggg like irl. It’s so much more exciting and frightening. Feeling the swinging and the cold air as you quickly move.
When your the only one who claps and no one else does. Oh dear. 😂
It means you have a mind of your own.
I clap EVERY time when I enjoy a ride. I do it for me and my happy heart. Don't care who heard or who didn't clap. And I think my kids and grandkids like it.
@InjectedWithAPoison CovidHoax what a small minded douche you have to be... go to your reddit forums with that
@Daniel Brockman me too it makes me feel embarrassed
@@avalon3821 theres nothing embarassing about that... just means the ride was fun?
I was just at Universal a few weeks ago. Definitely my favorite ride in the entire park! Was so immersive and fun.
one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES! executed so well.
My very first ride ever at Universal Studios. Went on this with my family the moment we entered the park and I'll always remember how impressed and happy I was. Going back to universal in a few more days!
Same it was the very first ride we did last week and I loved it.
Its actually pretty impressive how real these projections look. It was like they were really there
This ride was fantastic. Truly breathtaking and immersive. I felt so nostalgic when I got off
This was me on the London train stop. It was so nostalgic my goodness
Yo, everyone is giving this person the evil eye just for filming his/her experience, like wtf.
Was thinking the same thing. Looks like people are miserable standing in that long line. Maybe they should have bucked up for the fast pass
If I was standing in line and someone was recording me I would also be like wtf lol
I’d be that stranger that smiles and waves..photo bombing every chance I get.
😁😬🤪😜😉😎
@@anthony5775 ?? Are you not supposed to record the thing you payed a ton of money for? Especially since they weren’t even talking, simply filming the surroundings
@@anthony5775 I don’t think it’s rude if you record only like your favorite song or something...but yeah the proper who just go on Snapchat and record the entire thing are A-holes...as for recording coasters....so what? This may be the only time this person will ever ever ride this ride so, let them lol, I don’t care if someone wants to record it.
I remember when I went to Universal a few years ago and I got on this ride, IT WAS SO FUN!! Once covid is over I wanna go back to Universal to ride this ride again.
U can still go to universal and it isn’t as long
no one said you couldn’t go lol
@@thecoolestmrprogangster Not if you don't live in America haha.
@@jonathanlala4867 The Govts and borders closing did? XD
@@Roadent1241 oh sorry bout that
It's so upsetting that Bill has played more of a part in this ride than he has in any of the films. Hearing him use several spells and seeing him actually acting in this is so nice to see, but sad. I wish he were in the films more, and that Charlie was actually in them.
I'm glad Domhnall Gleason agreed to help with the storyline for this ride. Daniel Radcliffe refused to take part fearing he would be permanently associated with the franchise. However, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson also helped out. I was glad to see them on this ride too.
I am sure the moment he needs cash…. He’ll be back
We’re literally stuck on this ride. I have to finish the ride here on youtube while I’m on the coaster.
Love This Ride!!!!
This ride is awesome, so immersive and thrilling
Since we can't go anywhere, this kind of videos reallu cheered me up, thank you!
this is my favourite ride at universal. i loved it so much. so much going on and so detailed. best ride ever
Merci beaucoup pour cette traversée et souvenir du parc ! Grâce à vous c'est comme si j'y étais allée thanks
I still haven't had a chance to visit Studio Universal Orlando and the song at the end made me cry!
Jesus, that is one LoNG queue to get on the ride...
I was in such a queue recently. I'd say it was worth the wait. Very fun ride. Single rider line is usually half the time
Really fun ride! Loved it 😍
So, you basically have to stay in a long line... feels like a bank to me. Universal has really taken an effort to simulate a real bank, good job!
Harry Potter and the Mirage of Fun.
damn smooth camera work :O geez its almost like the camera is on a dolly
So I just walked into the park for the last 3-4 hours to mainly experience Halloween Horror Nights. I had never ridden this ride before or knew it existed…Then WOW! 🙂 I did NOT expect it to be so good! It was so breath-taking and incredible 🙂 I couldn’t believe it! It immediately became my favorite ride at the park
I remember stumbling into this ride completely on accident, I had NO idea what it was about and was even about to skip it but my mom wanted to rest so in the meantime me and my dad decided to check it out just to kill time, best decision ever.
I miss universal :(
Robert Metzler no everything wasn’t fine other countries had it. You gotta think about them too
@@DrPicklesmurf You steal that comment?
wanderingbutnotlost no
Really? I can find more than a couple other reasons why everything wasn't fine in the US before the virus...
I’m going tomorrow we gotta were mask all day tho:(
I remember working this attraction in 2014-2015. Great ride and even better job.
That’s awesome! Any cool secrets or Easter eggs / fun stories?
Theme Park Shark If I can remember any I’ll let you know. It’s been a while.
@@daviddebergh254 please do
We used to have a maintenance worker that would ride the railing of the main drop platform with no safety equipment and he would do handstands as the platform lifted up.
"I thought I got rid of you, MUGGLES."
I never thought I could be mad at Bellatrix but now here we are. -_- I don't take "muggle" lying down. I AM A RAVENCLAW.
Here we are? It's yourself, no way I'm gonaa involved with this, get over it muggle
And I am no muggle. I am the servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow.
For real, first time I heard her say that I shouted "Badger pride, c*nt!" and pointed my wand at her. I may be a Hufflepuff but I will not be insulted.
I know I am little late to the party to reply but I swear Bellatrix says "I thought I got rid of you, muggle borns." #TeamRavenclaw!
I was a Muggle but I got a sonic screwdriver and now I'm a Jedi
I was there in february and enjoyed like a kid, its really awesome, great experience ever
That looks amazing! I can't wait to ride it!
Thanks for the vid i love the queue on the harry potter rides it makes the lines actually fun
Great ride went on it in August of 2019 on my trip to Orlando , really great experience, makes you feel like you are in the gringotts scenes during deathly hallows part 2 which is what the ride story is set during the events of that film , Great pre show also definitely have to ride next time I’m in Orlando
this was so fun! loved this ride
Loved all of the things that you did and I hope you are making a new one
Good morning everyone else in this world park and I have been trying hard for someone who has been so good at helping out with you guys 👦 ❤️ Take care of yourself too much that goes to everyone who is good to your friends 🧡 is great full
I went on this ride and waited 2 hours! So i really got to see all the attention to detail they put on the way up to ride it is really not as scary as I thought i remember being on the stair and being absolutely terrified i wanted to not ride it but i had waited two hours on the ride it was such a amazing experience i was smiling the while time having a blast when there was a fire you could feel the heat, when there was water some water squirted at you it was so fun.
I rode this with my kid two days ago. She was talking so much crap about me being scared at the other rollercoasters. Yet she cursed at the first drop. I WAS cool calm and collected. This ride made her heartbeat out of her chest. I laughed so hard at her. I can't wait to ride this again.
please answer!! i was wondering if the drop is not really real or does the seat actually drop??
@@IlyasD4nces the drop is a quick drop, not very far. But comes out of nowhere. My preteen who likes rollercoasters, this made her grab onto me. But she laughed her way out of the ride. So overall it was a good experience. I'm afraid of rollercoasters but this didn't make me scared, it made me laugh. I hope this helps. Also I wasn't aware this was a coaster, until I got in the ride and it was too late. But overall it's worth it
@@IlyasD4nces just rode on it today and the drop really hits you out of no where and you go straight down it’s pretty intense but doable!
@@IlyasD4nces the seat drops a little but it *feels* like a large drop
@@bluegoth Okay thank you!! but is it just the screen that drops and makes it feel real, or is it actually on track? thanks for replying because i really want to go on this ride but im not sure if ill like it lol
Last time I was at Universal was when Bates Motel 🏨 was there, Rear Windows, Jaws, and Kongfrontation. Long time ago. I think it’s time to make a new trip😊
The park will be a totally new experience now!
Kongfrontation, remember going on that as a kid and when you got close to Kongs mouth it smelt of bananas!
Same
Literally same. Was planning to go last year but uhhhh shoutout covid
Wait bates motel isn't there anymore? Rip :(
My goodness those props look amazing!! Just like the real scene
Looks fun!
It's a great ride!
I have never been able to go to the parks, watch these videos make me very happy, because even if it is not in person I can live a little bit of the experience. I hope one day to go. Too bad the lines are so long
I love being able to watch these because I can't go on them myself. Thank you!
I'm bobbing my head back and forth whenever the Voldemort/ Bellatrix theme plays. That's a great theme lol.
after years of saving... i was able to fly to orlando and man... it did not disapoint. universal Parks are something to experience once in.a liftime at least.
This looks awesome!! One thing I hate about all amusement parks though, you wait in line an hour or two or longer for a ride that last 4 minutes.
Longer rides longer wait times
Not if you pay more.
I refuse to do it anymore. Just came back from spring break. My daughter has gone twice Disney and universal. My duty is done. They get no more of my money or time.
Freaking loved it !
Such a great ride bruuuh, the nostalgia
Looks pretty cool ... but I am feeling tired of all the screens used in new rides. I understand its likely way more cost effective and just the 'modern way', but I would much rather have a ride with sets and bad animatronics than a ride with a bunch of 360 screens.
Me too
Screens on this ride aren’t too abundant though, they’re used for everything that can’t be done practically.
I think screens work best when they're utilized to their full potential. For example, in disney's rise of the resistance, the screens aren't the main part of the ride, they're just there as a background effect to make you feel like you're in space
Same. You'll really like Hagrid's motorcycle ride then-- no screens, really imaginative and ridiculously fun seat and track design. I waited almost 3 hours in line and it was so worth it that I got back in line for a 2nd ride
This was honestly my favorite ride. You don’t really see them as screens and feel more involved in the ride; visuals are amazing.
this ride is awesome. As someone who hates rollercoasters this one I would go on again and again. I would have regretted it if I backed out. Best ride in universal studios. This ride is so secure and if ur in the front of the first cart the drop at the beginning feels like nothing.
I don't mind small ones with no inversions. the only one with inversions I can stand is Rock and roller coaster, its indoors and in the dark.
Thanks for filming this. I was supposed to go there in April but then the park shut down for the deep cleaning. Still haven't gone.

Thanks Christ
And the drop?
Just rode it for the first time last week, it was phenomenal!!!!
Thank you for the experience 🫶
I got stucked on that ride for 45 minutes. They shut down that ride completely for several hours to fix it too
@Danielle Trujillo Test Track?
I might be going here for my birthday, and this is what I wanna do first!
Awesome have a great birthday!
Wow I really love that ride💖💖💖💖💖
This ride looks great! Hopefully I can ride it one day.

I got a question can u talk to the gringotts? Goblins
Spongebob Squarepants not that I’m aware of
You forgot the part where the coaster breaks down and you wait in the cart for 10 minutes

I DIDNT EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE HI
@@RaeMVs "WHO???"
DevilCat ITS RAY FROM TWITTER (@crimsoniight)
@@RaeMVs HEEEYYYY
I loved this ride!
that line looks fun! LOL
I went on the Transformers ride at Singapore a couple years ago, they use the screens like this. And holy crap, they took up all your vision, so when it rotated or made you feel like you were falling, it was amazing. And the ride itself was really smooth, which made it better for my dad, cause he has a bad back, so he felt great being able to go on a ride again, since he loves roller coasters but can't go on them anymore, but atleast with these ones he can a bit more.
The first time I road this and it was THE big drop, my heart started racing
The drop isn't that big
@@SnagReport I was 11, and didn't like roller coasters. There is also 3D effects to make it seem worse. For me then it was a big drop.
Looks exhilarating 😊
i have been on this ride like 5 times but i love it soooo much
I rode this during the 2018 Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. I had the speed pass, longest wait for any attraction or haunted house was 10 min max. Totally worth the extra money I paid for that. Instead of standing for hours. The Harry Potter area was epic at night. But it was 85F and 90% humidity and like a fool I wore a thick tshirt and jeans. lol But it was awesome.
Legend says that the guy is still clappin til this day
Oh that was so amazing I knew this ride have been popular to much people I will wanna go the Universal Studio in us See you there
Love this ride!
Ugh why doesn’t hollywood ever get stuff as cool as Orlando 😭😭
I mean Disneyland fin open Avengers Campus
Limited space I'm guessing
Land in LA is expensive and finite, unlike orlando.
Orlando has a lot of land and tourism so that’s why universal and Disney gave them higher budgets.
every single time i ride this (which has been like 4-5 times) i get the adrenaline shakes after that drop.. man i love this ride
Is it better then Wizarding World of Harry Potter Castle?
@@vrum255 a lot of people say no but shhh I think yes
Great ride with lots of cool imagery and it was fun. We just got back from Universal! Such a great time and the lines were very short!
ugh this made me tear up 😭 i miss theme parks so freaking much man
First time I rode this, the 3D glasses fell off my face and landed next to my foot during the drop, so I spent Like 90% of the ride desperately fighting the restraints trying to get them back because I had convinced myself if I lost them I'd be banned from Universal....good times
It’s like you are our personal tour guide.
That's what we are here for!
Speechless.
floydglenn 🙏🏼
i miss this so much
i went on this coaster for my birthday once. i’m terrified of coasters but did it anyway. overall i regretted it at the time, but now i don’t think it was that bad :)
I got stuck on this ride right before the drop. If you ever have gone on the ride, you know you were tilted down a lot. Ended up staying tilted for a few minutes before it started up again but with the lights on. We could see the drop too which made it worse. And what made it even even more worse is that we were seated in the back where we are tilted the most.
I actually think that happened to me too once
the best part is when u go upside down lol i loved this ride so much i miss it thanks for letting me relive my experience!!!
Wow that thanks Dustin the gringotts ride was pretty good
i was terrified when i rode this because i didn’t know what to expect then after the first drop i was on the edge worried about whether another big one was going to happen
Same I hate drops, it isn't as bad if you are in the front car.
Same! my friends made me go on and they “forgot” how the ride goes so the drop was unexpected for me and was in the back of the car where the drop feels worse, like you’re hanging off a cliff.
@@aleililolu 1
@@aleililolu one and I terrified of drops but SOOOOO WORTH the 3 seconds of fear
Everytime is see a crowd my mind automatically goes to “ WHY ARENT THEY WEARING MASKS!?” Then I realize the times weren’t always like this and I feel stupid
Dude same... I was alive 21 years before a Corona hit but I still feel like this is just my new reality and we’ll have a hard time going back to being as social and together as before?? I guess this has been proof of how well (some) humans adapt. I’m super extroverted but within 2-4 weeks I was just... accepting of it.
Kal I can only imagine how you extroverts are doing with this nonsense, I’m introverted as hell so I’m as happy as a turtle in mud but personally I feel once a cure is developed, humankind will experience a second renaissance, with social interaction and culture booming, we will hit the ground running full force, idk when that will be but all we can do is hope it will be sooner rather than later .
Don't feel bad, I always check when the video was posted and this just made me think of "wow, if they only knew not even a month later that everything would be shut down and that they are so lucky they get to even go on this ride" .... smh
I wonder how many people in the lines had the virus that day... So scary to think about. 😟
Same!
Wow!!!! It looks amazing!
This is a great one!!
