Harry Potter Escape from Gringotts

How fast is the coaster?
Does it go upside down?

How does it compare to the likes of Seven dwarfs coaster?

not fast one short dark drop
dosnt go upside down

not a constantly running ride it stops/starts at various points to immerse you in the story

It’s half coaster half 3D screens. It doesn’t go upside down but will have moments when you go fast. I would say it’s difficult to compare to 7DMT as they’re sry different.

We like it alot, it can feel like a jerk when its stops at the next story point. There's a pre show too.

We did it as single rider last time, getting on and off multiple times in a row, as main queues can get long.

One tip is the lockers, go through the shop to them as there's usually a queue for the lockers! 🙄

Wouldn't compare it to 7 Dwarfs...

It is not comparable to 7DMT in the slightest bit, it is not a traditional coaster. It runs on a track but stops and starts every ten seconds, not fast, definitely no upside down.

Great thanks I will give it a go

Spoiler: There is a bit of a drop near the beginning. It's certainly not a huge drop but a bit bigger than the drops on 7DMT. If you really don't like drops then I suggest you try to get a seat nearer the front; the back has a longer drop.

Otherwise, the coaster is fairly tame, although perhaps not as tame as 7DMT.

My mum hates coasters and won’t do them. She actually thought that the drop was part of the simulator sequences as it was so smooth! I think you’ll be fine!😊

I would say the sharp stops would be the thing that puts off "tame" coaster riders. Tame Revenge Of The Mummy would about sum it up. My wife hates "big" coasters but loves this. The walk through Gringotts alone makes the attraction worth it.

I don't really like drops but due to a double knee replacement, I have no choice but to sit in the extra leg room seats on the back row. It couldn't have been that bad as I've now ridden it loads of times😁.
