(2024) Harry Potter and the Forbbiden Journey Ultra Low Light Universal Studios Hollywood 

Same!

So is it a roller coaster ride or is it more screen illusion?

@@muddlasvegas Both kinda, it's super interesting. You're in a cart that's connected to a robot arm that moves along a track. A majority of the ride puts you in front of screens for that illusion but then goes to physical set pieces sometimes. All the dementors were giant physical animatronics that's why they scared the crap out of me when I was marveling at the engineering haha.

@@muddlasvegas actually after rewatching this a majority of the ride is physical set pieces. You can pretty clearly tell when it switches to a screen.

@@captivatingcarnivore557 Thank you so much!!!

It’s a ride bro you won’t die lol

i’m so thankful i had my motion sickness patches for this trip because this ride would’ve destroyed me

You’re not wrong, lol

I threw up from the motion sickness, I definitely felt it.

Yep. First time I ever rode it, someone who I didn’t know (but was in the same bench) threw up on my shoes as soon as we got off. No apology or anything, just waddled off to the lockers. It left a lasting impression, I have to say! 😂

Nope. We just went and both my MIL and I got really sick on this one.

It captures how dark the Harry Potter franchise is, or was supposed to be. Anyways I don’t think it’s actually scary and I haven’t heard that about it too many times so it’s cool to hear feedback like that. Too me it’s still a masterpiece

Watch "How It Works: HP & The Forbidden Journey"

it’s a robotic our mechanism that gives you illusion of you flying and it’s a dark ride

@@xxTheIrishGuyxXthanks!

I don't have any kind of motion sickness but the back and forth between screen and physical movement made my head feel awful

It felt like huge drops, flying and moving, tipping all the way back at times to fly upwards, it was awesome!

It’s does not go upside down so I don’t know what page your now

@@MizzKK I have no idea what you just said. Maybe just re-read your comment before hitting post next time?

@@HerHollyness sorry but you said (i try to avoid this ride nowadays because the UPSIDE DOWN bits)

I was shocked to find out that the ride wasn't a coaster actually dropping downward etc coz it sure felt like it! Great ride, so I rode it a second time!

Your carriage is on a robotic arm and you have a personal screen in front of you, so yes, you swoop and soar and it is an incredible attraction. There is a behind the scenes video on RU-vid if you want to know how it is done.

Pretty much! The screen is very realistic idk how to say there’s drops and they are very scary they feel like real drops! And there are winds blowing on top of you head

Yes. They’re supposed to look like that. Very true to how they looked in “Order of the Phoenix” movie too.

Not long this one, 10 min. Was yesterday ther

okay so I go here alot and it's usually 15-45 minutes on time it was 90

@@IanCorzine-nx8dg Not bad, thanks!

@@deshonjb your welcome!

No drops

Don’t do Jurassic Park River adventure or Escape to Gringotts then if you hate drops. This one doesn’t have drops but it still has a part that puts you on your back so be wary

Any drops are barely more than a dip in a hilly road, it’s really more of a swoop than an actual drop and only a few feet

The ride vehicle itself stays flat on the floor the entire time but The part you ride in is on a robotic arm so it tilts up and down but doesn’t free fall like a coaster

No drops but don’t go on a full stomach

you're in a cart that's connected to a robotic arm that moves across a track. It's pretty incredible stuff.

The one in Orlando does, this one seems a bit more updated too since it was built some years later

I went to Hollywood last month (Jan 2023) and the dragon was covered by a black sheet.

No

No but at one point you are flat on your back

It tilts you far back so you’re kinda looking up and then goes slightly further back.

nah

yeah the mummy is the only actual thrilling ride there. People also say jurrasic world but like thats a 7 minute ride with a 5 second drop... Universal Orlando looks much better

i ws checking the rides out, and it seems it had so much potential but im not really sure what theyve done. I cant really make out whats happening on this ride (even if theyre moving or not). But something like Gringotts for example had so much potential... you could have made a rollercoster where the seat physcailly spins round, go through waterfalls, cork screws and finally a massive vertical drop.. instead they did some shitty CGI screen

just motion sickness 🤷‍♂ lots of people cant help it

Actually it's the other way around, if someone doesn't get sick on big coasters but gets sick on this. Means they have sharper senses than you

Why?

Yeah it’s awful

nobody asked you! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

WHY DO YOU HATE IT IS FUN

@user-fw1z2pw9v well I hate you
