I actually got to ride this ride before it was officially opened. Universal calls it a tech rehearsal where they'll just let people experience an attraction before they officially open it. I went to Universal on valentines day 2016 to see Deadpool in CityWalk and then spent the rest of the day at the park and they were just letting people into the Harry Potter area a full 2 months before the official opening. It was awesome
I fly small airplanes for a living so I can handle some motion…. There is something about the screen sections of this ride that totally made me nauseous all morning today.
It’s not the riders shadows that show though, it’s Harry and Ron’s shadow, they even acknowledge the fact that we’re in a flying magical bench by mentioning how dodgy they can be. Indeed a nice touch
One of the happiest memories of my entire life is this ride right here. It will always be an experience I will never forget. I will keep coming back until my final days ❤
@@sparky_em You are mostly moving side to side as if you are on a broomstick and there is a big screen in front of you to make it look as if you are flying with Harry.
I rode the Florida version of this ride so many times and yet my Arachnophobia always gets the best of me when we reach the Forbidden Forest scene with the spiders and Aragog.
Thank you for uploading this! These kind of motion rides tend to make me nauseous (the one at Gringotts almost made me blow my butter beer) but watching it on the screen was just fine for me.
I've never been on a vehicle when it broke down by a dementor, but I have gotten stuck at the spiders and looking straight up at the whomping willow. 😂
Last time I rode this, the ride broke down in front of the dementors. I would've rather broke down in front of one of the screens, but I'm just glad it wasn't the spiders. That's the only part of the ride I close my eyes for
How much does the ride itself move? Apart from the screen making it look like it? I’ll be visiting in May for the first time and I get terrible motion sickness of the rides are too rough😶
Absolutely couldn't open my eyes for 90% of this ride until I convinced myself that this is the closest I'll ever be to flying on a broomstick with Harry Potter. It temporarily (5 secs) fixed my motion-sickness. Also I went on this ride when it first came out when it was all in 3D and 4D. Literally tripped and staggered my way off the ride (it was too much of a hazard which is why this version with no 3D exists now).
I have medium term memory loss and forget everything but something I live about it is it’s always a surprise for me all the turn and your now flying and there’s a dragon! It always makes me feel so happy 😃
I remember going on this ride the year it opened in a queue full of people and it was SO fun. The excitement was palpable and people were doing call and responses, etc...Such a fun time and made the two hours pass so fast!
Probably the only way I will ever see this, thank you! I get so sick with screen rides. I even had an anti-nausea band, that actually takes the edge off and allows me to fly in an airplane and ride the revenge of the mummy too.... Only once. Did not work on the Millineum Falcon ride at Disney, this one would destroy me and probably the people next to me lol.
Wife and I went here 3 or 4 years ago im usually one to follow theme park construction and ride engineering RUclips videos before I go to a park but with HP world i really wanted to be surprised. My 11 year old inner me who became obsessed with HP first book it was legitimately a dream come true our mouths drooped in awe! We had no idea tgis was a ride. We where just enjoying walking around Hogwarts! Than the ride. Im not a fan of heights and well we got stuck in the forbidden Forrest. My wife convinced me it was part of the ride.. we got off and was like wait (realizing she lied it wasn't part of the ride) Still had an awesome time! Hagrids motorcycle adventure had to be the best themed launch coaster/drop ride ive ever been on
Disney fan here- the best themed queue in the world and one of the best rides ever made Also the scariest thrill ride I have ever seen- this POV has things jumping out at you!
Awesome video!. I only rode that ride once and I got extremely sick! .. we are looking to go back again possibly this year but for sure next year but want to only record video through the que then bail out at the end and let the family enjoy the ride.. If you don't mind, what's the camera setup you're running on this ride?
Missed out so many things worth viewing. It's a wizard encounter. After my first time riding it, I had to run round to do it again, and I'm over sixty years of age.
It's a bit of a challenge getting on this ride and getting off. The moving floor tripped me I almost fell hard on my face, lucky I was able to somehow stay on my feet.
My brother and I rode this. I kid you not our ride broke down and stopped during the spider scene. We were like the second to last riders and the woman seated in the next car (with her partner) started crying 😂 I was thankful for her crying because I was ready to 😂😂
So, I have a question. I’ve never been on this before and reading the comments makes me a little confused and unsure about trying it. Some of you have said that this thing that you’re sitting in actually goes upside down? I am seeing that it’s being jerked around quite a bit and many of you are saying that you felt sick during the screen portions. I’m curious about it…..but I think I’m more nervous than curious. Should I ?
The vehicle sways from side to side, forward and backwards. While it doesn’t fully take you upside down, it does take you to such an extreme angle that it feels like it. The simulation screens can cause vertigo. This ride does make me dizzy. I just close my eyes during those parts, it acts as a reset for me. Despite all that it doesn’t stop me from riding it. If you can handle some intensity, ride it.
I've been on numerous rides with screens my whole life, and this ride made me absolutely so sick that I had to sit for a couple hours on the sidewalk after. I couldn't wait until this ride was over. There's something about it. I've done everything from sorin, to body wars, to Star tours, nothing affects me, I did this, and I was sick for hours after. Be careful,
Same here! I came close to losing it. I had just come from Hagrid’s so that didn’t help. Covered my eyes and just looked down during the flying video segments. There was something strange about this ride.
Why is it that in some POVs the dragon does two smoke mists before the fire mist and in some it either roars or just does the fire lighting with no mist?
I have terrible motion sickness so i just accompanied my friends on the queue and left. they told me it was nothing much and i should have tried it lol what the hell? No way 😂
I remember when there were a bunch of HUGE spiders on the ride and you fell into the floor in the beginning. that mightve been because i was there during halloween
Ride malfunction, we were upside down, luckily it was only for a few minutes but still it was scary being upside down not knowing when it will start moving again
Wow I’m surprised at how many people in this comment section are talking about how this ride made them sick. I haven’t even gotten the slightest amount of motion sickness when I go on this ride

I was actually waiting for him to say "Training for the ballet, POTTAH???" 😭
Fitting

Malfoy said: showing off for your muggle admirers eh potter?
His father will hear about this
Universal created that masterpice of facade+queue+ride+street I was just blown away in 2017 ❤

Warner Brothers did… not universal. They made an agreement to put it in Universals parks
The queue is when the ride really starts like a walkthrough ride in itself.
This is the only ride that i really feel like flying. i was just flying and it was a wonderful experience
I highly suggest you try Flight of Passage if you like that feeling! Unreal ride.
@@MichaelFromTheAttic Thanks for your reply! Where can i try that ride? Universal studios in the US?
@@Lalalasoar Disney's Animal Kingdom, in their Avatar land :)
@@MichaelFromTheAttic Aww i always want to go to Disney in the US(I live in Japan)!! I gotta ride it 100％! thx
@@Lalalasoar Oh! Lucky you with Tokyo Disney Sea 😍 I wish you a trip to Disney US my friend.
Ridiculously unique ride, unbelievable in every aspect, and one of the best dark rides ever
I remember throwing up after I got off this ride. It was amazing but I got motion sick so hard.
Ewww not me
Don’t feel bad. I almost did. I think it was because I just came from Hagrid’s coaster (which was amazing). I’m usually OK with these types of rides.
I fly small airplanes for a living so I can handle some motion….
There is something about the screen sections of this ride that totally made me nauseous all morning today.
Skill issue
its the backwards tilt that made me need to vomit… and then that dragons stinky hot breath in your face
I just noticed the shadows at 04:36 on the wall show people flying on brooms. I didnt notice that while on the ride. Incredible touch
It’s not the riders shadows that show though, it’s Harry and Ron’s shadow, they even acknowledge the fact that we’re in a flying magical bench by mentioning how dodgy they can be. Indeed a nice touch

I loved transformers as well
@@tatianaallen913 And the Mummy Returns ❤️❤️❤️
@@GreenYoshi3881yes
question: do you feel everything? or is it a screen that just shows it, because im going soon and i would like to know, i am a pretty big scaredy cat

I rode it, but I had my eyes closed the whole time!
I was just thinking that! 🤭
Totally made me feel sick
@@jamiewalker4165did it help?
@@Doggo-br1ph I saw what I missed. I’m glad I kept my eyes closed, though! Lol!
The ride is fantastic but this has arguably the greatest ride line que ever.
Thank you for taking me on the ride!!! Best ride ever!!! Amazing video!
Wow! This is by far the best video of this ride captured. Most are too dark. One of the best rides we experienced in Universal Studios in Hollywood.👌🏼
Man, I am just watching it on my PC screen and it feels like I am flying. It must be way more amazing in the actual ride.
It's an amazing ride 😊
Ride is AWESOME !!!
6:57 and the ride breaks down for a full hour while a dementor is a few inches away from your face ready to suck out your soul
I've never been on a vehicle when it broke down by a dementor, but I have gotten stuck at the spiders and looking straight up at the whomping willow. 😂

Is this a universal experience because this happened to me except I was nearly upside down and thankfully it wasn’t for an hour.
I think this is probably the best video quality I’ve seen for this ride on RUclips, it looks perfect.
CraaaaP ! 90% of this amusement ride is just getting to it !!!😮
This ride is absolutely amazing in every sense of the word!!
this was very enjoyable, such a lovely experience, thank you so much for filming and uploading this
How much does the ride itself move? Apart from the screen making it look like it? I’ll be visiting in May for the first time and I get terrible motion sickness of the rides are too rough😶
My favorite ride ever!!
The wait in line for this must be excruciating.
Not with a queue line like that.

Universal Studios is most awesome!
The workers at the front sound like they're herding 😂
This is one of the best rides i have ever been on. I felt like i was really flying. Someone else threw up thats how real it felt lol
@hartgetzen7867 no way lol it's a 3d ride that literally felt like you were truly flying. One of the best rides I've ever been on. Incredible.
Imagine that queue line filled up with people!!
I remember going on this ride the year it opened in a queue full of people and it was SO fun. The excitement was palpable and people were doing call and responses, etc...Such a fun time and made the two hours pass so fast!
I don't't have to imagine it, I've been there. It sucked! Hot, slow moving and boring. Not fun!
I was just thinking the very same thing
The detail and amount of effects in this entire park is absolutely incredible…how I would LOVE to come back here again!
The amount of noise from people taking selfish would do my head in.
October 2014, went to Orlando, FL for a technology training, visited Universal Studios, and took this ride, love it.
Probably the only way I will ever see this, thank you! I get so sick with screen rides. I even had an anti-nausea band, that actually takes the edge off and allows me to fly in an airplane and ride the revenge of the mummy too.... Only once. Did not work on the Millineum Falcon ride at Disney, this one would destroy me and probably the people next to me lol.
It's almost a shame I only ever do single rider on this. This is probably the most get hyped queue.
my god, the damn q-line IS the forbidden journey.
Thank you. I Love it, following your jouney. I hope can to visit this place, with my doughter and my husband ❤

Super Video! Wo ist das, Amerika?
LG Monika 😊
Yes this is Florida USA
Dang how long is the walk to just get to the ride?
Love that Ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Good low light footage! When did you go? The queue looked pretty dead
this ride was incredible, my heart was pounding after getting off but luckily I didn't throw up
@LMG Vids did you by any chance use a GoPro camera? If so what settings did you use
I don’t use GoPros for any of the videos on the channel. I don’t really trust them anymore since they would always fail or corrupt the footage
My brother and I rode this. I kid you not our ride broke down and stopped during the spider scene. We were like the second to last riders and the woman seated in the next car (with her partner) started crying 😂

We walked straight onto the ride on a Tuesday late February 2024.

Wow, the hike just to get to it…..
i just went on the ride in universal japan, never understood what tjhey were saying, now i do
My favorite ride by far I went with my family and my friend. And I loved the Jurassic world one too
I just went on the ride it really scared me
My water literally broke on this ride. I thought my baby was going to pop out while on the broom stick 😢
“Avada kedavra!”
LOOK IT'S A FLYING BENCH!
Love!! Wonder, you can film this 😅 it reminds me wonderful experience riding 2 times as first timer at Universal Studio, Osaka
Awesome ride truly enjoyed it!!
Seriously I could never work in a theme park. Hearing the same thing over and over and over again.ohh drive you insane.
I hated this ride. Made me feel like shit afterwards
This looks really cool. I feel like the next best thing would be an Augmented Reality combined with 4D technology.
It was an Amazing experience, but I got the worst vertigo I've ever had in my life on this ride.
It was never this bright when I went on it during the queue
Pretty quiet there. Where are all the people?
I am a happy muggle who likes to fly in a plane than a broom. After this ride
I can’t wait to go for my birthday I love Harry Potter in a huge fan
I am too. I love watching it during the Christmas time and Halloween time as well
Why is it that in some POVs the dragon does two smoke mists before the fire mist and in some it either roars or just does the fire lighting with no mist?
so good
Where’s the crowd
I have terrible motion sickness so i just accompanied my friends on the queue and left. they told me it was nothing much and i should have tried it lol what the hell? No way 😂
I closed my eyes most of the ride so this what I missed next time Go I’m going to keep my eyes open
I’ve never been to universal in Florida! Is it similar to Disney with the rides?
No
The rides in Florida are like either but more intense
One big difference then Japan and this is that the dragon was meant to breath fire but in the video the dragon did not buy in Japan it did
Was lucky to ride this twice on opening day back in 2010 and even luckier to ride it a dozen or more times last year with my nine year old.
This looks wild
This is scarier than you think
I remember when there were a bunch of HUGE spiders on the ride and you fell into the floor in the beginning. that mightve been because i was there during halloween
I went last year with my family for my 24th birthday, the ride broke as soon as we were in the Dark Arts classroom
Ride malfunction, we were upside down, luckily it was only for a few minutes but still it was scary being upside down not knowing when it will start moving again
what camera did you use?
too cool
The ride was a little slow then the other ride and I’m glad I did not get sick
This ride was sick
I want to know when they go because the lines are non-existent.
Wow! Very cool.
The walk to the ride was at least 3 minutes long. Imagine how long the wait would be if all the lines were full.🤦♀️
yeah it would suck ...not for me !!
I was thinking the same thing .
Around 70 minutes 😂 And it was Monday!
My phobia for tight spaces kicked in and I panicked the entire time ! That's too bad cause it looked cool otherwise 😂
This ride is dope
Looks like you need a ride just to get to the ride. 😮
Is the ride slow or fast ?
It is not too fast. But the chairs swing and swivel. At times they swing almost upside down. If you ever get a chance to ride, don’t eat beforehand
A LOT of the props in the Queue are actual props from the movies.
Much better in person!
Why was the line so empty?
because this ride gets you extemely motion sickness.. This ride ruined my day at Universal.
@@anthonygraziano9066womp womp, u could have closed ur eyes
Cause people run to boring nintendo land like a bunch of NPCs and theres literally nothing to do there lol
Maybe he went on a really slow. Usually on busiest days, this ride along with Nintendo world and revenge of the mummy usually have long lines
C'mon! There's got to be a quicker entrance. 👀
Wow I’m surprised at how many people in this comment section are talking about how this ride made them sick. I haven’t even gotten the slightest amount of motion sickness when I go on this ride
I have really bad claustrophobia, will this be tough to ride?
Absolutely!!! Don't do it ! I had to evacuate myself on the other ride. Literally. Horrible panick attack happened and the whole day was messed up.
This is mu favorite ride 😍😍😍
Hogwarts existed in almost every Universal park except Singapore including Orlando (2010), Japan (2014), Hollywood (2016) & Beijing (2021).
This is a dumb post that is confusing and means nothing
