    Le débit est moyen mais la file d'attente est magnifique. Perso je préfère les coasters à grosses sensations aux coasters plus orientés vers la théma, c'est pour ça que ce n'est pas mon coaster préfér...

    First Drop Theming Launch Too short Dead spots

    Queue was amazing and wait times were very overestimated. Lockers are very crowded though. It's first drop comes as a surprise as the track tilts. Short launch to propel you, and it spins! Pretty good...

    First Drop Theming Fun Too short Dead spots

    It is a very good ride, but I wouldn't say it's a very good roller coaster. The initial tilting drop is very unique, but beyond that the ride feels sluggish. The spinning helps it be more enjoyable, b...

    Fun experience overall. Lots of screen. Not a ton of coaster. The queue is amazing, though.

    Theming Disappointing!

    Honestly the ride itself isn't nearly as good as the themeing of the queue. And not being a massive HP fan, I didn't enjoy it all that much.

    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts is not your typical roller coaster. I wouldn’t exactly call it a coaster: as it’s more like a dark ride with screens that has roller coaster elements. I will...

    Escape from Gringotts is definitely more dark ride than coaster. The first drop is pretty sweet, but after that it’s just a solid dark ride. I wish they would’ve integrated more coaster elements in, b...

    This one was a pretty solid ride! The theming and 3D experience carry the enjoyment of this one. It has some intense elements, and the 3D effect with video screens makes it more intense and immersiv...

    Comfort Disappointing!

    Cute but feels like it needs one more drop or something at the end. Starts out strong and then just kinda fizzles out.

    Nice surprise!

    This is basically a dark ride, and as one, it's alright! But judging it as a coaster (which I am doing, as I'm not keen on dark rides, and this is "Captain Coaster" after all), it kind of doesn't do a...

    Un coaster fort fun bien thématisé avec quelques surprises durant le ride. C'est un bon coaster mais je préfère revenge of the mummy pour rester dans un délire similaire

    as a coaster, this is very bad. it is just one drop and that's it, so that's why my rating is lower than it probably should be. as a dark ride, this is very great, but this website isn't for rating da...

    This dark ride/coaster hybrid is one of the best experiences at Universal. Everything from the queue to the ride itself is filled with little easter eggs and themes from the Harry Potter franchise. I ...

    I'm kinda split on this. The tilt track and launch are cool, but the rest of the coaster is anticlimactic. The theming is cool, but too reliant on screens.

    Theming Disappointing! Dead spots

    Excellent dark ride, wimpy coaster should just about sum this up. I don't like the 3d glasses. But it's worth it with that awesome queue and dark ride sections.

  • I don't really consider this as a coaster in my opinion, but the dark ride part is very well done!

    I don't exactly classify this as a coaster in my opinion. I don't LOVE dark rides either. It's a neat idea, Universal, but try to make some more thrill rides.

    Another instance of Universal pushing style over substance too far, I don't really class this as a rollercoaster. It isn't an unpleasant ride, but utterly forgettable. Considering the "similar", but s...

    Very immersive. The drop itself was forceless, but it was still awesome because of the the setting/theming. Though except for the drop, it feels like a dark ride.
