It's the best one. My friend told me this one is exactly like the one at Universal Studios Japan. I've been to the one in Orlando and it's the same as this. I'm talking the whole there park, not just this ride.
I legit believe this is the best ride (with Spider-Man as a close second) I had hopes that the avatar one or the escape from gringotts had potential to be better than this but they honestly were kind of a let down for me.
I was not prepared for how intense this ride is, holy crap. I've never seen animatronics that are that close to you on a ride before. This ride was insane
For anyone scared, this was my first actual intense ride and I loved it so much! I have always been scared of rides and I cant even go on carnival rides but this one was soooo fun! I went on it twice and If given the chance i would go on it over and over again! Don’t be scared of this ride!!
This was the best ride I ever went too. It felt like I was in a different world for a couple of minutes. The first person pov is way more intense than through a screen trust me!
For anyone who has ride anxiety: I have pretty intense ride anxiety and I was stressed before the ride, but had a very fun time after all!!! It is not intense at all. You are taken in front of different screens for a simulated experience. The seats do move, but no drops (even if they say so on the warning sign before the ride which is weird) and no upside down shenanigans. I had so much fun that I went back on as soon as it was over. Don't miss out on this very fun ride because of your anxiety like I almost did. Hop on and enjoy! If little kids can do it you can do it ❤️
the dementor scene may just be one of my favorite sections of any dark ride that's ever been made. Something about how dang close they get and how truly unsettling they are just strikes me in a different way than basically any other scene from any other dark ride that I have ridden (which is just about all of them lol). At the very least, that is definitely the most scary scene from any dark ride that I can think of.
Rode that ride for the first time 2 days ago. It was truly unsettling. I was geniuinely scared to put out my hands due to how close the animatronics were. LIke the tree.
The dementors, the spiders, and the whomping willow all scared me so much😭 those screams were not the fun type lol but overall great ride would get on again and face the terror😅
I did this few years ago as my first real "ride", for someone who used to be terrified of them (im talking fainting and throwing up terrified), you can go to this with closed eyes! The ride feels so immersive with the 1st pov that you get actually invested in the story and kind of forget about being afraid.
The thought and attention that went into this ride. Disney is shaking in their pants. Rightfully so. Universal nailed this one. What an amazing ride…and I’m not even into Harry Potter!!
@@yvonybabor4748 it was some time ago that I rode it, but all I can say is there are many effects that make it seem like your "falling" but it's the tilt of the ride your on and the screen. It may depend on people, but I didn't feel sick, it was honestly awesome.
This ride was very immersive, when it comes to the set design and all of that it’s absolutely 10/10 BUT it made us SO NAUSEOUS we almost puked while on it. It literally took me an hour to start feeling better after we left. None of the other rides had that effect on me. I can’t believe no one in the comment has mentioned that before. I would never do it again even though I’m a huge HP fan and everything was so beautiful 😢
the castle was amazing but the ride gave me incredible motion sickness, ive never experienced prolonged motion sickness like that, i had to go back to my room and take a nap, my wife was fine and thought the ride was great though
I had the same experience. I was screaming from fear and from intense motion sickness. Everyone around me was happy but I thought I was dying. It was that crazy
Same! I've never been so close to vomiting on a ride. It took all of my willpower to keep it down from the moment the ride started. And I had to sit on the ground feeling AWFUL for at least an hour before I could get up. How are there not more comments like this?
yeah watching this is nothing like the real thing. there is so much movement the video can't really pick up during the dark areas like the spider cave and all that.
@@nicvallecillo7557 yeah. Especially when the dragon breathes on you, when you basically go upside down, when your on your back at the beginning, it just doesn’t compare.
first time going on the ride and i was screaming so much it’s more intense than you think, it genuinely feels like you’re flying and twisting and turning as if the chair your sitting in is moving by itself it’s not just a cart you sit in like transformers or spiderman( like i thought) so if you think it’s just a virtual ride it’s defo not. Nevertheless it’s very impressive and well done, i’m just scared of rollercoasters and wanted off immediately
Thank you for posting this! I just returned from Los Angeles this evening and spent time at Universal Studios Saturday morning and afternoon, then again Sunday morning. I rode this ride five times and had the most amazing time, so much fun!
PSA: if you’ve only queued in the single rider line you’ll miss out on the cool Hogwarts Castle Experience. It was ingenious that they added themed throughout the regular line to mitigate the perception of wait time while experiencing the magic of Harry Potter. Best theme park ride hands down.
@@musicgirl999 it’s the same for the new Mario Kart ride in Super Nintendo World in Hollywood. Single rider line cuts literally everything of the line theming. It’s good to go at least once then just use the single rider line.
When I went for my 15th birthday I was terrified to ride but I wanted to see the castle so the people let me do the whole walk-through and exit right at the boarding point
For those who are nervous, this is my favorite ride at the park! I have always been scared of roller coasters but this is different! It doesn’t go upside down and simply sometimes puts you on your back, there’s both real and simulation and it really feels like you’re flying!!! Don’t worry, it’s very fun. I believe in you!!!
This is definitely the coolest ride I've ever been on! I HATE rides but this was just enough thrill and the perfect amount of fantasy. Really felt like you were flying, and the animatronics are so close to you!
Dude- I went on this for the first time today (as of when I typed this) and I was NOT ready for the dementors. Scared the living crap out of me when they jumped out and followed us through the caves
I never get sick or nauseous on rides, but this almost did me in. Had to close my eyes halfway through because I was about to puke everywhere. The 3 other people that rode with me felt the exact same as I did. That's a ride I'll never get on again. I'll stick with the rollercoasters.
I just went on this ride today and absolutely loved it it was amazing I was smiling the entire time. Definitely recommend even if you don’t like Harry Potter
This is the best ride EVER! I will say, the line was very very long… I guess that is what to expect from such an amazing ride! 10/10 absolutely LOVED! ❤️❤️
This ride was INCREDIBLE!! I was at Universal for the first time a couple months ago and it was one of my best days ever!! I wanted to find a pov of this ride to experience it to some extent again! ❤️
If you have motion sickness , you will thank me for warning you to not bother. I spent a few minutes in hell feeling like my insides were a shaken up soda can . And I even took motion sickness medicine.
Rode this for the first time about a month ago. The ride itself was amazing, as well as the queue, but the animatronics scared the crap out of me😂 I screamed so loud that my dad (who was sitting next to me) thought it was part of the ride🤣
This was my favorite ride by far! It's very immersive and exciting. It did a great job incorporating all the aspects of the Harry Potter Universe, the spider and dementors part hit way different from the movies. I rode it four times and never got tired of it, truly a great ride for the Harry Potter fanatic.
If you are scared of rollercoasters but want to get over your fear, this ride is amazing! The ride is actually relaxing to me! (I have major rollercoaster anxiety). The worst party is the ride is a bit jerky, so it moves a ton. However the only drops are simulated. Meaning you are in 4D and they tilt you down instead of a full drop. No upsidedown motion except it tilts you far back within the seat (the seat has a back rest). it moves faster at times and slower at others!
2:48 this was one of the first times i think i was really and truly blown away by ride effects, at least as an adult who "knows better" now (i grew up in Southern California and day trips to Disneyland were common for me and mine, so i've pretty much always had a good grasp on theme park rides). the video here really doesn't do it justice--the combination of the sound, vapor, (not mist) heat, and lighting makes it seem like the dragon really IS breathing fire at you and it's AMAZING :D unfortunately, the dementors are kinda hokey by comparison (they unfortunately don't show up well in the video here)
Just got back from our trip to Universal. This ride made me so sick. It took me a hour to getting to feel better.. It was hot and humid inside. Im so mad because I normally don't get sick on rides.
So I just rode this two days ago bc my family said it was like Radiator Springs racers. I ended up on a bench for the rest of the day trying not to puke. It was our first ride of the day, so it was about 7 hours of bench time. Hoping to paint an accurate picture for those who are uncertain on whether this ride will spoil their day or not. I can handle rollercoasters, drop rides, water rides, and some screen rides like Soaring over Ca, and Midway Mania (or whatever they call it now). But I get sick watching minecraft, imax, and facetime when people are moving around. This ride is like that x 100. If you know you get motion sickeness like this - don't do it - or ride it at the end of the day so you can immediately go home and eat a piece of bread (an impossible find at Universl). I would go through the castle, bow out at the very end, go home and watch the youtube version instead,, and laugh at all the comments
Ride this in universal Osaka today. It was good to see it in English. The first time, I was enjoying the ride. The second time was poking my head out to understand how they did it, and I was blown away in wonder. You’re attached to a robotic arm that can tilt and twist, running along a rail. The natural world scenes were cavernous and amazing. Hats off to the ride designers. Each carriage would get its own projection dome that would follow the cart for that section of the ride, which was also pretty clever in how they managed to make that seamlessly blend with the real-world sets.
When I first was in line for this ride I started crying then when I was off the ride my eyes where closed the whole time, but now I'm going again and this time I'm going to smile the whole time.
i went on this ride last week… this is by far the scariest ride ive ever been on just with how close you get to everything. the part in the chamber of secrets tho has to be one of the coolest things i’ve ever experienced. i don’t have issues with most rides but i was screaming the whole time on this because it was all so real and in your face
I know Disney might be the kings of entertainment, but Universal REALLY knows how to make a ride. Even the places where you wait in line are so marvelously crafted. And not to even mention the rides themselves. Definitely my favorite theme park.
I’m obsessed with that ride that I never want to leave. I love flying and that was close to making me feel like I can fly. I recommend trying it and don’t be scared. You’re gonna love it.
Bro this is my fav ride but the whomping willow part always gets me cuz of how massive the tree looks and how close it gets to you and the dementors scare the living crap outta me too🤣
This thing tried to kill me. It was the first time I've ever experienced motion sickness but it was bad enough to put me in a wheelchair for the rest if the day. When I got off a cast member was cleaning up someone else's puke. When I went into first aid looking for a place to lie down they had a special logbook for people getting sick from this ride. In fact the first question they asked when I went in was "you rode forbidden journey?" Never again. But if it doesn't make you sick gave fun!
Thankyou for dropping this up here. What is the deal of it going on the side is all the video on the side wall? How much does the ticket cost in here and is it under the universal ticket price?
I can still remember this ride from earlier this year. It really moves you around a lot so much it’s like you are really there. It’s so much more movement then any 3d ride ever. You get up close and personal with the creatures and feel the fire breathing because the dragon is real and the dementor is real and the spider. And you really flying every where. Not a still ride. It’s very unique. It’s scary but so cool especially for a potter head
I don’t get motion sick easily but this ride gave me the worst motion sickness. I had to sit down for like an hour afterwards. The moving sideways while undulating just did me in. Followed up with the Hagrid Motorcycle ride, though, which absolutely slaps. Very cool coaster.
When I first rode this, I had no idea on what it was like or had any clue on the series yet this was still the best ride at the park for me. After watching all the movies and riding it again, this is such a fantastic attraction.
I went on this magical attraction with my parents 6️⃣ years ago in May. We had a blast even though Harry Potter isn't my dad's cup of tea. Aragog with his 🕷️ 👪 and the Death Eaters really scared the **** out of us when the bench flew us directly to these sequences that we saw together that day.
My friend told me a story of how he got stuck on this ride for 3 hours.Mind you he was leaning backwards at a 45 degree angle with a dementor less than a foot from his face.He didn’t have his phone.And when they resumed they had to see everything at half speed including the dragons and dementors and womping willow.
I really loved this ride because I went there yesterday and I rode it 3 times (with the VIP pass) and it was spooky at first but I liked it the other 2 times.
I could never ever rides any Harry Potter rides back in the day. The lines used to go so far into the general public walking around inside islands of adventure
This would be the first ride I would go to every time we go to Universal Studios. I didn’t like it at first but when I went in the 2nd or 3rd time I liked it. One of my favorite rides.
This ride is so much fun! I’m usually super scared of rides because I can feel in my stomach so bad but this one is just awesome. I got on it 3 times. So don’t be cared to get on this one I promise you will love it. If you get scared close your eyes and you won’t feel anything. It’s a simulator.
Here’s a little story for anyone who might be scared of this ride~ S9ftie remembers for one of their birthdays (maybe 8 or 9)they went to the Harry Potter rides but they were way to small to ride, it sucked. So they went next year! (Either 9 or 10 years old.) they were so nervous at first but once they actually got through it, it was really fun! It’s not scary until the whomping willow almost hits you or until Hadgrid throws you back. And if you’re still kinda small it feels like you’re slipping off your seat but your safe!
That ride was real fun, only problem is I’m claustrophobic and they strap you in really tightly 😥 that was the scariest part for me, but I loved the visuals
i went on this ride feeling confident returned feeling more confident felt like i was flying, i was screaming for the first half of ride, it was thrillingly fun my dad said he passed out then woke up when we were facing the dementors, the 2 other men beside looked like they had fun too mom just showed her sister from the philippines diagon alley fun times
If we just wanna go through the queue (because the detailsnare amazing) is there a seperate lane for that? I wouldn’t wanna feel like I’d be bypassing people in line, since I donlt think I will ride it based on the acromantula scenes! Thankful for these videos though!
We experienced this incredible ride back in January 2020, just before COVID-19 hit, however it was in Los Angeles' branch! Everything in this Hogwarts branch is the same as in LAX. Great ride!
I’m super scared of roller coasters and any kind of drops. This ride was the perfect thrill and didn’t push me out of my comfort zone. You don’t go upside down but you do lay flat on your back and a bit further at times. The line experience is amazing and anyone should try thus
Trust me even seeing it on screen makes me panic but when I went on it I closed my eyes until my sister said we past it. It’s honestly worth it but I know it can be hard.
I went on it yesterday when there was barely any people there , and it was probably the best ride I’m ever gonna go on. Because of how empty it was I went on the ride again. The scenery when you’re entering the castle is absolutely beautiful! I def recommend going on this ride if u go to islands of adventure.
As someone who has really bad arachnophobia, that is definitely something I would hate and have to close my eyes during. But it does seem like a cool ride.
I went to this ride on July with my brother and sister from fall-brook, I don’t see them often and if I do see them we always go to like Disney or something similar. So me and my big sister and my other big sister decided to go on this specific ride. Dude, when I say this was lit I swear I had a blast. I wish I could see them again on like summer break it would just be more of a blast. Maybe we should go to like Hawaii or something that would be cool. But seriously whoever is going to universal studios on like summer break DO THIS RIDE. It’s way better in person and it made me so happy, I closed my eyes for almost all the parts so I’m re - seeing this ride lolz
for anyone who hasn’t been on this ride before, it may LOOK scary but it’s not at all. for me the dragon was a bit of a jump scare, but it’s not right in your face. the ride is overall SUPER fun and my favorite in the park. 11/10 recommended especially to harry potter fans❤
If you are sitting on the far right of the bench, the dragon is absolutely in your face. Went yesterday and got blasted directly in the face with dragon 'fire' haha my hair flew everywhere
My sister fell in love with harry potter because of this ride. I have been a huge fan harry potter for about 3-4 years now and have tried to share it with my sister. she never had the time or motivation to do so. so on our trip to universal studios Hollywood during this years spring break, this was the first ride we went on. My sister loved the attraction! it gave her drive to read all of the books. she is now done with them all and is on movie 4. Great ride!
I loved this ride…I remember one time I got on it though and the ride had to stop for some reason…and of course the part it stopped for us was the spiders…and we were right in front of a big spider…and that wasn’t even the scariest part 😅 The thunder would just happen randomly but it was still amazing and I felt like that made the ride a bit more thrilling than it already was!
I’d be more scared if it stopped at that one part during the willow where you’re on your back leaning almost upside down and way off to the side right as you’re leaving the area
@@yvonybabor4748 Nope. There’s a little part where you think you do but…it’s just your head and you feel better right after…just a little dip…like in your car…nothing bad at all I promise
You can’t see the goodness of the ride through the screen though I saw this before I went and thought it was lame but it was the coolest ride i’ve ever been on not even lying. In real life the coaster moves and shakes and does all of those things as your going so you can actually feel like your on the broomstick. This ride has me thinking how it was made though ..

If you have motion sickness , you will thank me for warning you to not bother. I spent a few minutes in hell feeling like my insides were a shaken up soda can . And I even took motion sickness medicine.
I watched this video so many times before going on the ride about a month ago and I was still suprised at times. Favorite ride at the park.
Oh my goodness, the memories. Ok, I went here in early 2017 for a school field trip to Orlando and it was so much fun
A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP?! our school field trips are to the cemetery- i-
????@@apricotix1
I love the ambiance just that darkness with the ambient music playing behind and of course the ride is just so fun!
This ride is awesome I’ve been on it for the first time yesterday and it was so cool I would definitely go multiple times
Rode this for the first time about a month ago. The ride itself was amazing, as well as the queue, but the animatronics scared the crap out of me😂 I screamed so loud that my dad (who was sitting next to me) thought it was part of the ride🤣
i remember crying on this ride when i was 8 cus of how scared i was 💀
Ikr I felt like I was gonna fall or puke I thought it was like Mario or SMH but NO mummy + Simpsons 😭
Today, we lost Hagrid!
One of the best things I've ever done in my whole life. I love this ride so dang much. Can't wait until I do it again💞💞🌂✨🐍⚡
I did this in 2015 with my family when i was 12 years old. i cant describe the nostalgia of watching this video. The best holiday ive ever been on
2:13 "Hi Hagrid bye hagrid"
lol
This was my favorite ride by far! It's very immersive and exciting. It did a great job incorporating all the aspects of the Harry Potter Universe, the spider and dementors part hit way different from the movies. I rode it four times and never got tired of it, truly a great ride for the Harry Potter fanatic.
❤🎉😊
If you are scared of rollercoasters but want to get over your fear, this ride is amazing! The ride is actually relaxing to me! (I have major rollercoaster anxiety). The worst party is the ride is a bit jerky, so it moves a ton. However the only drops are simulated. Meaning you are in 4D and they tilt you down instead of a full drop. No upsidedown motion except it tilts you far back within the seat (the seat has a back rest). it moves faster at times and slower at others!
As a Potterhead. I went on this for the first time! I was a bit nervous but really excited! I was surprised on how good it is!!!!
2:48 this was one of the first times i think i was really and truly blown away by ride effects, at least as an adult who "knows better" now (i grew up in Southern California and day trips to Disneyland were common for me and mine, so i've pretty much always had a good grasp on theme park rides). the video here really doesn't do it justice--the combination of the sound, vapor, (not mist) heat, and lighting makes it seem like the dragon really IS breathing fire at you and it's AMAZING :D
unfortunately, the dementors are kinda hokey by comparison (they unfortunately don't show up well in the video here)
Just got back from our trip to Universal. This ride made me so sick. It took me a hour to getting to feel better.. It was hot and humid inside. Im so mad because I normally don't get sick on rides.
Do you have motion sickness?
aww sorry to hear about that😢
So I just rode this two days ago bc my family said it was like Radiator Springs racers. I ended up on a bench for the rest of the day trying not to puke. It was our first ride of the day, so it was about 7 hours of bench time. Hoping to paint an accurate picture for those who are uncertain on whether this ride will spoil their day or not. I can handle rollercoasters, drop rides, water rides, and some screen rides like Soaring over Ca, and Midway Mania (or whatever they call it now). But I get sick watching minecraft, imax, and facetime when people are moving around. This ride is like that x 100. If you know you get motion sickeness like this - don't do it - or ride it at the end of the day so you can immediately go home and eat a piece of bread (an impossible find at Universl). I would go through the castle, bow out at the very end, go home and watch the youtube version instead,, and laugh at all the comments
Wow, I'm literally the opposite lol, can't handle most of those other rides but this one allowed me to get the visceral thrill of one.
Ride this in universal Osaka today. It was good to see it in English.
The first time, I was enjoying the ride. The second time was poking my head out to understand how they did it, and I was blown away in wonder. You’re attached to a robotic arm that can tilt and twist, running along a rail.
The natural world scenes were cavernous and amazing. Hats off to the ride designers. Each carriage would get its own projection dome that would follow the cart for that section of the ride, which was also pretty clever in how they managed to make that seamlessly blend with the real-world sets.
When I first was in line for this ride I started crying then when I was off the ride my eyes where closed the whole time, but now I'm going again and this time I'm going to smile the whole time.
We went on this at Universal Studios Halloween horror nights. Wow! It's completely immersive. Best ride of the night.
I love that ride so much. Everyone has to ride it eventually.
Do you get sick on it?
i went on this ride last week… this is by far the scariest ride ive ever been on just with how close you get to everything. the part in the chamber of secrets tho has to be one of the coolest things i’ve ever experienced. i don’t have issues with most rides but i was screaming the whole time on this because it was all so real and in your face
This ride is insane
i have beef with that mfin spider
The flying felt so real!
Loved this ride so much can’t wait to go back on it
I know Disney might be the kings of entertainment, but Universal REALLY knows how to make a ride. Even the places where you wait in line are so marvelously crafted. And not to even mention the rides themselves. Definitely my favorite theme park.
the transitions on this ride are just 👌👌👌👌
Loved this ride that I rode it 3 times in a row when it had a 25 minute wait
Me and my stepfamily are in California right now and we went to Universal Studios yesterday. I went on this and it was my number one favorite ride.
I’m obsessed with that ride that I never want to leave. I love flying and that was close to making me feel like I can fly. I recommend trying it and don’t be scared. You’re gonna love it.
Bro this is my fav ride but the whomping willow part always gets me cuz of how massive the tree looks and how close it gets to you and the dementors scare the living crap outta me too🤣
This thing tried to kill me. It was the first time I've ever experienced motion sickness but it was bad enough to put me in a wheelchair for the rest if the day. When I got off a cast member was cleaning up someone else's puke. When I went into first aid looking for a place to lie down they had a special logbook for people getting sick from this ride. In fact the first question they asked when I went in was "you rode forbidden journey?" Never again. But if it doesn't make you sick gave fun!
Greetings! May I use this footage in a video I'm making about scariest dark ride moments? I will give your channel full credit.
Thankyou for dropping this up here. What is the deal of it going on the side is all the video on the side wall? How much does the ticket cost in here and is it under the universal ticket price?
Can't wait to see this next year.
I can still remember this ride from earlier this year. It really moves you around a lot so much it’s like you are really there. It’s so much more movement then any 3d ride ever. You get up close and personal with the creatures and feel the fire breathing because the dragon is real and the dementor is real and the spider. And you really flying every where. Not a still ride. It’s very unique. It’s scary but so cool especially for a potter head
I don’t get motion sick easily but this ride gave me the worst motion sickness. I had to sit down for like an hour afterwards. The moving sideways while undulating just did me in. Followed up with the Hagrid Motorcycle ride, though, which absolutely slaps. Very cool coaster.
Same here. This ride did not make me feel good afterwards.
When I first rode this, I had no idea on what it was like or had any clue on the series yet this was still the best ride at the park for me.
After watching all the movies and riding it again, this is such a fantastic attraction.
I went on this magical attraction with my parents 6️⃣ years ago in May. We had a blast even though Harry Potter isn't my dad's cup of tea. Aragog with his 🕷️ 👪 and the Death Eaters really scared the **** out of us when the bench flew us directly to these sequences that we saw together that day.
Not to be that guy but it’s actually dementors not death eaters
This my favorite ride in the whole park! Not too intense but rlly fun! (Perfect for family fun)
This ride felt so real I was literally waving back to them at the end.
My friend told me a story of how he got stuck on this ride for 3 hours.Mind you he was leaning backwards at a 45 degree angle with a dementor less than a foot from his face.He didn’t have his phone.And when they resumed they had to see everything at half speed including the dragons and dementors and womping willow.
I really loved this ride because I went there yesterday and I rode it 3 times (with the VIP pass) and it was spooky at first but I liked it the other 2 times.
It was fun 🤩 I really enjoyed it.
I could never ever rides any Harry Potter rides back in the day. The lines used to go so far into the general public walking around inside islands of adventure
This would be the first ride I would go to every time we go to Universal Studios. I didn’t like it at first but when I went in the 2nd or 3rd time I liked it. One of my favorite rides.
This ride is so much fun! I’m usually super scared of rides because I can feel in my stomach so bad but this one is just awesome. I got on it 3 times. So don’t be cared to get on this one I promise you will love it. If you get scared close your eyes and you won’t feel anything. It’s a simulator.
Here’s a little story for anyone who might be scared of this ride~
S9ftie remembers for one of their birthdays (maybe 8 or 9)they went to the Harry Potter rides but they were way to small to ride, it sucked.
So they went next year! (Either 9 or 10 years old.) they were so nervous at first but once they actually got through it, it was really fun! It’s not scary until the whomping willow almost hits you or until Hadgrid throws you back. And if you’re still kinda small it feels like you’re slipping off your seat but your safe!
I’m going for the first time on Saturday and I’m excited
I went on this ride ten times. That’s how awesome it is.
Just went today. Had to lay on a bench for an hour afterwards lol. I'm never getting on this again. 😕
I love this ride but it sadly made me so nauseous, anyone else?
I threw up twice after this
One of my favorite rides so far at Universal 🙌🏽✨💕
Una pregunta hay loops en el viaje??
That ride was real fun, only problem is I’m claustrophobic and they strap you in really tightly 😥 that was the scariest part for me, but I loved the visuals
i went on this ride feeling confident
returned feeling more confident
felt like i was flying, i was screaming for the first half of ride, it was thrillingly fun
my dad said he passed out then woke up when we were facing the dementors, the 2 other men beside looked like they had fun too
mom just showed her sister from the philippines diagon alley
fun times
If we just wanna go through the queue (because the detailsnare amazing) is there a seperate lane for that? I wouldn’t wanna feel like I’d be bypassing people in line, since I donlt think I will ride it based on the acromantula scenes! Thankful for these videos though!
We experienced this incredible ride back in January 2020, just before COVID-19 hit, however it was in Los Angeles' branch!
Everything in this Hogwarts branch is the same as in LAX. Great ride!
I’m super scared of roller coasters and any kind of drops. This ride was the perfect thrill and didn’t push me out of my comfort zone. You don’t go upside down but you do lay flat on your back and a bit further at times. The line experience is amazing and anyone should try thus
This looks absolutely incredible. Such a shame my arachnophobia will prevent me from being able to sit through this ride without a panic attack
Just close your eyes
Trust me even seeing it on screen makes me panic but when I went on it I closed my eyes until my sister said we past it. It’s honestly worth it but I know it can be hard.
during the transitions just close your eyes, there is only one big bug
I have really bad arachnophobia but I closed my eyes and tried to zone out and it worked fine 👍
I don't know, I fear spiders but animatronics just don't ever scare me. Maybe if it animated/moved super realistically, but they're obviously fake.
I went on it yesterday when there was barely any people there , and it was probably the best ride I’m ever gonna go on. Because of how empty it was I went on the ride again. The scenery when you’re entering the castle is absolutely beautiful! I def recommend going on this ride if u go to islands of adventure.
Went over the summer and this along with King Kong are by far the best rides in the Florida location
I went on this last week first time ever going to universal studios Hollywood the ride was awseome
Same!!! My favorite ride by far
I went to universal studios Hollywood in 2015 lol
Does it have any drops ?
@@shainacarter1922 no but it’s so scary but fun
I went on it 3 years ago and I cried lol going there again and I’m gonna enjoy it!
I remember taking my mom on this and I didn’t tell her about the spiders part
Lmao
As someone who has really bad arachnophobia, that is definitely something I would hate and have to close my eyes during. But it does seem like a cool ride.
@@nova14414 I have arachnophobia and... yeah the spiders weren't a fun thing to watch AT ALL
This ride is top 3 for me and I’ve been on tons!!!!! Love it!
I went to this ride on July with my brother and sister from fall-brook, I don’t see them often and if I do see them we always go to like Disney or something similar. So me and my big sister and my other big sister decided to go on this specific ride. Dude, when I say this was lit I swear I had a blast. I wish I could see them again on like summer break it would just be more of a blast. Maybe we should go to like Hawaii or something that would be cool. But seriously whoever is going to universal studios on like summer break DO THIS RIDE. It’s way better in person and it made me so happy, I closed my eyes for almost all the parts so I’m re - seeing this ride lolz
for anyone who hasn’t been on this ride before, it may LOOK scary but it’s not at all. for me the dragon was a bit of a jump scare, but it’s not right in your face. the ride is overall SUPER fun and my favorite in the park. 11/10 recommended especially to harry potter fans❤
I can definitely see little kids freaking out over the spiders and dementors. They are right in your face
Does it make you sick tho?
If you are sitting on the far right of the bench, the dragon is absolutely in your face. Went yesterday and got blasted directly in the face with dragon 'fire' haha my hair flew everywhere
False, it is very scary
My sister fell in love with harry potter because of this ride.
I have been a huge fan harry potter for about 3-4 years now and have tried to share it with my sister. she never had the time or motivation to do so. so on our trip to universal studios Hollywood during this years spring break, this was the first ride we went on. My sister loved the attraction! it gave her drive to read all of the books. she is now done with them all and is on movie 4.
Great ride!
I recently went on it in Florida and it was so intense but fun!
this ride was so intense, when the dragon sneezed on me I literally died on the inside.
I loved this ride…I remember one time I got on it though and the ride had to stop for some reason…and of course the part it stopped for us was the spiders…and we were right in front of a big spider…and that wasn’t even the scariest part 😅 The thunder would just happen randomly but it was still amazing and I felt like that made the ride a bit more thrilling than it already was!
Oh noo!! My brother would be absolutely petrified!!
Edit: It actually happened to me too now lol
I’d be more scared if it stopped at that one part during the willow where you’re on your back leaning almost upside down and way off to the side right as you’re leaving the area
@@becausewhy238 that actually happened to me a couple weeks ago lol
Do you get the drop stomach feeling in the ride at all???
@@yvonybabor4748 Nope. There’s a little part where you think you do but…it’s just your head and you feel better right after…just a little dip…like in your car…nothing bad at all I promise
I love somehow Harry’s able to fight the dementors and also win the quidditch game
You can’t see the goodness of the ride through the screen though I saw this before I went and thought it was lame but it was the coolest ride i’ve ever been on not even lying. In real life the coaster moves and shakes and does all of those things as your going so you can actually feel like your on the broomstick. This ride has me thinking how it was made though ..
You’ll never know true fear until you can feel your phone fall out of your pocket and into the seat
