    Come early, and before you go home, go once again if you still have the energy, then buy the beer butter 'the slushies' before you go home. Have lunch there, if you can.

    1) There are misters throughout while you wait in the sun. 2) It's not a stationary simulator, as it's a fully-immersive ride! 3) Definitely use Front of Line privileges on this one!

    Best dark ride on the planet. Not fat friendly and can be very scary for the kids.

    Best ride in the park!! Try making this one of your first rides of the day. Or, take advantage of the single rider queue. It almost always has no wait.

    It is Harry Potter soooooo: Amazing! The attention to detail is astonishing. Get the early entry ticket and do the rides first thing! Otherwise you may face up to 4h waiting time 😱😱

    An amusement park ride where the line is actually worth waiting in! So many cool Harry Potter things to see.

    What a ride! Getting chased by a Horntail Dragon and Grim Reaper looking dementors sent me for a thrill. It gets super busy maybe the trick to get on this ride is to line up towards the end of the day

    The 3d adds a nice touch to the already classical ride at Universal Orlando. The glasses are real nice! Arrive early to avoid the lines, buy your ticket online and use the early entry perk.

    Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is a ride out of this word! Every minute of wait is worth it, plus you get to see all awesome props from the Hogwards castle!

    Absolutely incredible! Lockers for all of your things because you won't want to take them on the ride.

    The might play a game of trivia with you and take you faster to the ride if you answer correctly. Really nice people in the staff!

    Probably the best ride in the park. Fast moving queue. Rode it twice.

    Must check in your bags and loose items in the lockers before you go on the ride. They are small lockers so try to pack light/small.

    Worth it but try to go when lines are shorter

    It’s really unclear whether or not you have to check your bag in the locker beforehand unfortunately. We checked them just in case, but saw people in line with bags. I’d say check them to be safe!

    Fun walking through the passages to get to the ride. The ride itself was good also.

    Incredibly immersive and fun. I wanted to turn around and go on it again, but man oh man that line is long.

    When you get inside the mountain the surrounding is done up like Hogwarts! The ride involves wearing 3D glasses AND moving around. Don't eat before going on this one!

    You can go single rider and spend way less time waiting than in the regular line.

    Be warned- this is NOT for kids. My 7 year old was terrified of the dementors animatronics. I was even scared at parts.

    Yes to anything Harry Potter. This ride uses 3D so it's not good for people who get motion sickness. Saw a few people vomit after the ride
