Man, I want to give this attraction a 5/5 stars but it really lacks in the coaster aspect. Without the coaster being the main focus I really think this wasnt designed to the fullest potential.The Harry Potter scene in the movie was fun and exciting. This on the other hand, it takes you away from the coaster excitement in seconds to throw you right into a 3D scene.Note: Try and sit on the back row/cart, it feels more like a coaster than the first row/cart.The second issue I have are the lockers. If you come during busy hours you can lose your spot in line and that could lead to longer wait times. For how casual this coaster is, lockers arent needed I think. They focused on 3D too much on this, they should have had it in the beginning, tad bit in the middle and at the end. Something like what the Mummy has done and perfected it. This on the other hand just feels like an upgraded version of Spider-Man but on a coaster track. Its not a wow factor attraction.When you finish this ride you want more, not because you want to ride it again because you just want more coaster.

This ride is completely worth the wait, unless its going to be over 2 hours. On this visit, we rode it twice within about a 40 minute period. Totally worth that kind of time. In fact, the lines moved so quick that you didnt get a chance to just peruse the decoration and additional items.The ride is completely amazing as a mix of 3D video and moving sensations created by the roller coaster portion. It is truly amazing how you can know that youre not actually falling, but the sensation in your head and stomach tell you differently. It was very clean, very quick and the staff was very good.If you havent been here before, make a point to show up. If you have, come on back.

My first 3d ride ever! So much fun we rode it more than once!

FAVORITE RIDE IN THE WHOLE PARK! We rode this about 10 times, it was so great! Not for thrill seekers, but definitely for those who like to be entertained.

Ive had a dozen great experiences here! But now.... This is an absolute ship-show. Save yourself the money, theyre charging full price for half a park and the daily changing of policy and rules with no notification is insane. Just close, until you can offer an experience that isnt a 0 star experience.I could NOT regret renewing my annual pass more than I do right now. I feel like the biggest idiot on the planet.

Very fun (which is saying alot cause Im a coward)! Its a virtual ride that moves along a conveyor belt type setup. It moves at a walking pace but has some sharp sudden twists and turns, and one small slide-like drop.

This ride is a blast! Rode it 5 years ago (2015) and just got back to ride it again (2020).

Wow what a ride. I hate drops and role coasters. I was brave enough and the drop is nothing!! Love it

I LOVE the ESCAPE FROM GRINGITTS RIDE. ITS COOL N FUN. I LOVE ALL THE HARRY POTTER RIDES.

Waited way too long for this ride (~2 hour wait, but had I known that single riders can get on in ~15 minutes) would have opted for that. Still, had a lot of fun on this impressive coaster/3D simulation ride. The setup of the bank is beautifully done and very much like in the movie. The ride itself is fun and well done. Not too thrilling (it’s technically a coaster but no big drops), but a lot of fun. The visuals were also very cool

Great ride. Not a ride for you if you get motion sickness

Fantastic and fun ride. The line up for this ride is one the best I have ever been in, and the ride itself does not disappoint. It is thrilling and fun with a great story!

This place is incredible! Going straight into the world of Harry Potter, Escape from Gringotts is not to be missed! Located inside the Universal theme parks, this is just one of the many amazing stops in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Universal is doing it right during the pandemic. Everything feels clean and safe. Employees constantly cleaning areas. Masks are a must and employees with remind patrons to wear them properly. Have visited a few times already since reopening and will continue to come back. Kudos Universal.

Definitely one of my favorites. Not for everyone. People with back problems should probably stay away.

What an amazing ride! Exciting and brings the spirit of Harry Potter alive!

Really fun rollarcoaster. Ended up going on it twice! Not to be missed.

Very fun thrill ride. The visuals are amazing and its cool inside.

A fun ride. If you dont care to wait in line you can always enjoy the dragon shooting fire outside. It ignites about every ten minutes

It was Awesome! Definitely recommend

Excellent ride and super fun

This ride was awesome. I would have ridden it 5 or 6 times but I went with someone who is not a big Potter fan. Next time Im all in.

So neat being able to walk around in Diagon Alley without having to push or jostle through a crowd. I dont think I was ever able to appreciate the detail on the store fronts before distancing was a thing.

The front seat is the best if youre able to get it.

We love this ride! My daughter loves to take Voldemorts nose each time we ride.

I loved the ride. The first drop is surprising and fun. The only downside is that the seats are very uncomfortable. The test seats out front are not the same as inside. Other than that its a very fun ride.

The location is off on the map at time of posting.Ive never done a ride like this! I could have never imagined a dark coaster operating like this one. Everything that happened was jaw dropping and filled with ingenuity. Fantastic ride!

Kids loved it, they just finished the books before we visited so they were super excited and into it.

So cool! Social distancing rules well established and constantly enforced. Awesome experience!

Was so much fun

The best of the simulator is the environment and details of the building.The ride itself lacks of emotion and excitement.We made it 2 times in a row thanks to the single ride line. The one in Islands of Adventure It is way better than this.

All good but the wand is overrated....not worth the money

Awe went during Halloween Horror Nights and there was no wait at all! If was incredible. Its so beautifully and intricately designed except I had high expectations that the ride would last longer and be more exciting. It was still fun but it is what it is.

Very neat ride in a nicely themed area. Mix of 3d motion simulator with roller coaster

This is another ride that had been built up for me but was a little bit short of amazing. But dont let me put you off. It is a good ride for the Harry potter fans

It is an amazing ride in my opinion it isnt as good as forbidden journy but I can see why people would like gringotts more

By far the best part of the park. I have not even seen all of the Harry Potter films, however, the detail in the ride was incredible. My mother has always been against the films but is ready to watch after visiting this ride.

This ride was amazing. The walk in and the actual ride were one of our favorites. I highly recommend. This is one of the rides where you have to rent a locker. Im not sure if there was free ones but i paid 2$ for one which said i was running out of time as i was getting my stuff back. Not sure what price is if your time does run out.

This ride is amazing! This is my favorite ride of all of the Harry Potter rides so far! It’s just the right ratio of coaster and simulator. It’s hard to differentiate the simulation from the set, and they recently upgraded the 3D goggles and the experience is just incredible. This ride is very smooth and enjoyable.

Very fun roller coaster!

Action packed very fast. Decoration is amazing as well.

The outside and the walk through the ride are amazing! The ride itself was not very long, but still really fun! I think the most thrilling part was, since it was a 4d ride, you had no idea what was going to happen next. You couldnt tell if you were going to drop or soar really fast or what was going to happen. It was definitely a top favorite in the park.

The only ride in Diagon Alley. Its a simulated roller coaster ride with movie clips. No bags so lock up your belongings before getting in line. The line queue allows you to walk through the bank to see the Goblins and watch a video before boarding the elevator for the ride. The ride starts with your cart turning down to a 45° angle and doing a drop of maybe 15 feet. This is the only one and the worst part; the rest of the ride is pretty easy.

Once again, as Universal as done with its Harry Potter Attractions, they have outdone themselves again. It’s so much fun being able to be immersed inside the world of Harry Potter and they spared no expense while creating this ride. The line can be very long in the summertime so be prepared to wait. But it’s very worth it.

Attention to detail really amazed me. The goblin set up before the ride was a nice touch! The ride itself was fast-paced with good graphics. Go early cause the wait can get up to two hours even on a week day!

Wow, everything about this place is magical, from the drogon stop the bank to the miniscule details in the rides queue, it is fantastic! I didnt mind the long queue for this at all, i cant wait to go back on next year! Absolutely loved it!

Located in Diagon Alley at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Escape From Gringotts is a hybrid roller coaster and dark ride that uses 3D projections to tell a thrilling story.Guests enter the attraction right through the majestic lobby of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The detail to theme is spot on.

Love Harry Potter. But universal rips you off in prices

Love it. Great ride

The best time to go is right before closing. We walked right on the ride without waiting. Although the waiting area for the ride was awesome and the effects on the ride were so amazing! Both my 4 year old and 12 year old loved it!

This place is truly amazing, one of a kind experience. My family loved it! I was blown away by the feel of being in the movie. The town felt real!

Loved it but to park early

This was a very fun, unique and interactive ride. As the name of the ride suggests, it is reminiscent of the 8th movie, so you get to the vaults in an elevator and the ride is in the gringotts cart with 3D screens all around for the whole ride and it is awesome! You do need to wear 3D glasses though, so if you wear regular glasses but have contacts lenses with you, now it the time to wear them. Except for the first drop - which really is still not that bad honestly - this is definitely the most relax ride of the Wizarding World. I definitely dont like big rides and this one isnt scary at all. So, for those who are scared like me : Dont worry, there is no upside down 360°! I highly recommend this ride: is it very different and fun! I did ride it twice : the first time there was a 30 minutes wait. Dont get scared by that amount of time because it didnt feel that long at all and it was very cool to visit Gringotts while waiting, which was so beautiful and just like in the movies. The second time, we got there at the opening of the park with our early admission and there was a 10 minute wait. But the wait times can get way longer during the day so, if you want to do this attraction, the best thing to do would be to get to the park right when it opens and rush to Gringotts. Note that you have to leave you bags in a locker. If you need a bigger locker, it costs 2$. But in the end, although I love this ride, if you have intense epilepsy (because if the 3D screens) I would not recommend it.

This was a great ride but if you have motion sickness I wouldnt recommend going on this because the ride does 360s with huge simulator screens everywhere and the drop is like the one on gravity max. But other than that is a good ride.

Great ride and if your a potter fan then you will love this ride. The build up to the ride is just as much fun as the ride its self.

Another great Universal attraction. So well done. And for the Potter nuts out there it’ll be a hit. Great fun.

This was a fun ride!

Absolutely beautiful interior. The ride isn’t too jerky and it’s super cool!

Such a fun cool ride!! It is a great ride, you really have to try this out especially if you are a Harry Potter fan.

Absolutely wild ride and clever use of roller coaster movements. The queue has amazing detail to keep the reader movie viewer busy

Tons of cool things to look at as you walk thru the building... the ride itself is short and kind of “meh” ... for lack of a better word.I’d say it’s worth it if the wait is under 40/45 minutes - a great one to get out of the way first if you have early park access.

Simply magical, the entire place will make you feel that you are now in a completely different park

I love this ride!!

Great ride! The first time we rode it, it felt pretty thrilling, the second time, not as much. Its clear that its more thrilling when you dont know whats going to happen. The ride is a tracked motion simulator. The track portions are very thrilling, and the motion simulator sections are well done. The story is also pretty fun. The reridability isnt the greatest, but if the lines start to shorten up, it can be worth a reride.

It was the greatest ride ever made there. It is soo great for the life experience.There fast ride made shake with happiness and joyfulness. I think you shouldgo on if you go there.

Best iconic one of a kind Cycle roller coaster,like non other.

It was so awesome!!! Great ride and experience!!!!

Loved the ride, setting is great, the action is there (although Helena B Carter and Ralph Fines overplayed a bit in one of the scenes and I wish it was tad bit faster), but I give it three stars purely because I hate the damn lockers. You dont need them for this ride if you made the cars properly. Its not that crazy to sent things flying. Universal just wants more money! Well, two can play that game because I made sure I didnt have to use your overpriced garbage lockers

There is no check in area for overweight people to see if they can fit the ride. After an hour long wait they reject you from riding. How convenient. Why is universal Studios going an extra mile to single out fat people. You would think after money you spent on a park they would do some research or at least warn riders to check if they fit the ride before waiting. What a waste of time and money. Never coming back to universal Studios. Go to Disney they have much better fun to offer.

Enjoyable ride and everything looks real.

The set looks like in the motion picture. Impressive.

This ride is very fun and exciting! It is 3d/ rollercoaster. This ride is better then the one over in Islands of Adventure.

Great ride with nice effects. Definitely worth going on.

It was ok. The ride itself (which is a mix of a roller coaster and screen) is fun when it picks up... The only problem is it doesnt pick up much. It is also pretty short. It does have a very Harry Potter feel, and the queue is also amazing.

We had very high expectations. Although the ride was fun it was so short we were underwhelmed overall. There are many other rides which are much better and have more reasonable wait times. Definitely check it out but only if the wait time is 75 minutes or less. It took us about 90 minutes or more before we boarded and the ride was over in what seemed like 90 seconds... Fun while it lasted but the return on investment was not sufficient....

Hard to rate it down for the long lines, as they are not a surprise, but there is an expectation that the digital “wait time” posted outside the attraction is somewhat accurate. This was and continues to not be the case on this attraction. Other than that the attraction was whimsical and fun.If you have any affection for the Harry Potter genre this ride will be well received. A mix of CGI and roller coaster, the world of Harry Potter comes to life for a few minutes.

Really well done, the queues in the bank are awesome. The ride is fun although a little short unfortunately, wish the coaster parts were more intense!

Amazing ride. Just going through the line to get on was worth the time.

Nice ride..!! I got goosebumps going into Gringotts and listening to Harry Potter music.

Good ride this. Not as good as the other 3D one they have - forbidden journey but the night restriction is lower. The bank is very cool to Walk through before hand

I think it maybe time to fine tune some of the screen or film? its not as sharp as it was when it first opened. But still awesome

Has no bench in baby swapping room

Just AWESOME!!!! Always love the Harry Potter stuff, and this ride is really a lot of fun. Great way to do things. Everything is top-notch as Universal!

The ride felt short and paused a lot for little snippets of characters talking on screen, but the high speed twists and turns were fun. I wish there were more of those. There was a mention of a drop but didn’t feel that. A mellow ride that’s good for ambiance.

One of the best rides Ive ever been on.

Great ride, it was our favorite!

Incredible! If you’re a fan of the movies, this is a must do.

Awesome ride! The decor of the building inside and out is beautiful just like the HP movie.

Fun ride

Close battle for this being the top ride... in competition with the other Potter ride... It was an awesome ride. The wait walk-through is so well-done, it makes that go by real quickly. Its a tour through the movie culminating in the ride... which is fantastic.

So much fun! My suggestion: make this the first thing you do when you get in the park because the line will get long as the day goes on. Even waiting in line is fun though, as theres so many things to see on the way!

This is a really fun ride. It is interactive and fast. The line; however, can be really long, so either get a fast pass or be prepared to wait. They also have lockers that can be used for free for about an hour to hold your personal items while your ride the ride. You will definitely want to use it.

Its a long long wait but the ride is worth it. Its a coaster but just one main drop that you will notice but its not big at all.There are better bigger coasters but the experience is really cool

Wow. Overwhelming recreation of Gringots. Worth going on the ride just to see the theming. Special effects work really well and the 3D didnt make me motion sick. Just great.

I liked the ride, but not as much as the Hogwarts castle. There are a lot of stairs up and down towards the end of the line area and after the ride that detract from the pleasure of the ride. It is 3-D, but not super terrible for those that cant handle 3-D normally. I think the reason its not as good as the other ride is the lack of story line to the ride. They tried, but its very obscure (IMO).

Great decor in the queue but the ride fell short for me. Show scenes move quick and from screen to screen, the audio is really hard to understand because of how fast the ride moves along, and is just too muffled. Took a couple of rides to fully understand the plot.No big show rooms that you spend a long amount of time in, I prefer the ride at Hogwarts instead because it features large animatronics. Opportunity missed for such an iconic part in the movies.The Mummy remains the best ride at the Universal Studios side of the resort for me.

Amazing

The building is great! The ride is mediocre. 3D movie.

Off the charts, great ride!!

Pottermore fans, get ready to have some fun with your favorite witches and wizards.
