One of the best overall experiences in either of the Universal parks. The exterior and interior design rank in the top two, with Gringott’s being the other. There are literally dozens of references to Harry Potter lore throughout, and the architecture is sublime. So...Read More

This ride is inside Hogwarts castle. The ride itself may be nauseating for some, but if you’re a Harry Potter fan you should definitely still go through the line to look at the set design inside. Just let the attendants know you don’t want to...Read More

I went there after 12 years and I still absolutely love this ride. The lines are short because it is old news, so you can ride it multiple times in a day. I still believe it's magical. Nothing better than being at Hogwarts

I really enjoy this ride. The outside castle, inside shows the schools and the ride itself creates a simulation making it feel like your flying around on a broomstick. It is a bit rough as there’s plenty of sudden movements and random objects popping up....Read More

Absolutely loved this ride! My daughter loved it so much we went on it multiple times. The line up section in itself is such an experience. The ride nauseated my husband who isn’t good with simulator rides though.

I hate rollercoasters and can do simulator rides. This by far was the coolest, craziest one I have been on and it’s NOT even 3D/4D! It’s amazing and highly recommend. There are a few swirls/sways and being turned on your back almost with feet above...Read More
