Recommended Ride
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Universal’s state-of-the-art mind blowing new attraction will be based within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This mysterious new ride has been cloaked in secrecy but will not disappoint Harry Potter fans. Universal has confirmed the ride wil be based on scenes from the Harry Potter films and will be a robo-arm controlled ride-through. Rumours suggest a broomstick ride. Universal claim the new ride will be thrilling but ”couldn’t be further away from a roller coaster”.
