The Truth

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!

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.

Chris Lord

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

Luke

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.

Jennifer Walter

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 ????????

Rachel K

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

Rinaldi Neto

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.

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

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 !

Natalie

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

Mitzi Y.

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!

Paige C

Awesome ride! So much to see so pay attention!

Linda Yang

Worth it but try to go when lines are shorter

Javier Ferreira

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 !

Archit Sachdeva

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

Lailanie Gadia

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.

Jason C

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

Ece

Loved it! I have been here on Christmas and get to take this ride literally five times, awesome!

Rosa Miranda

Was an amazing attraction more than I expected 6/2022

Matt

Make sure you can fit in the seat BEFORE you wait in line .

Tim Ingmire

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

Yara Abbastawisy

My favorite ride at the universal studios. The details were amazing

Cory Macvie

Use the Universal app to find ride wait times.

Alharith

The best ride in universal by far.

Richard Revilla

This will make your head spin. Excellent ride.

Cassius P

Such a GREAT experience, must do it! I LOVED it!

Chad Hinze

Not for those who get motion-sick! The castle before the ride is great!

Jesus Haro Lozano

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

Alison Lu

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!

Angel

Awesome ride but beware of motion sickness

Katherine Coles

Excellent blend of motion simulator, 3D film and practical effects.

Tim Deng

Incredible ride! Best one in the park while Jurassic park is under construction

Sergey Sedyh

The best one in Universal . Use single line

Kyung Paik

Fun ride but long wait . Try the single rider .

Liana Fong

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

Ace Hogarth

Amazing ride!! Don't arrive with backpacks!

Tema Stankevich

Can't hold a candle to D-Land or Knott's Berry Farm in terms of rides or production values. Exception is the Harry Potter world which was very well done. Fast pass is spendy but a life saver - Brian Strauss
