Outside the bank, marvel at the fire breathing dragon on the roof. Then, once inside the
bank, you prepare for the experience of a lifetime. The queue line begins by going past sev-
eral iconic locations: youwill see the animatronic Goblins hard at workin the grand marble
lobby, as well as wizard vaults and go through a security area (where you have your photo
taken). Just like the 'Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey' ride in Islands of Adventure,
this attraction's queue line is as much of an experience as the ride itself. The storyline be-
gins to unfold as you see signs of Harry, Ron and Hermione discussing their plans.
The ride itself is a rollercoaster-type attraction which is described as “multidimensional”
by Universal and mixes a variety of real world elements with footage on screens, much like
'Forbidden Journey'. Although there are drops and turns (but no loops or inversions) in the
layout, think of this more as a 3D-experience ride than a rollercoaster - it is more
Trans-
formers
than
The Incredible Hulk,
but at the same time completely unlike both of these.
The ride features 4K-high definition technology as well as 3D screens, with glasses being
worn by riders.
