So I have now ridden this 6 times, 4 this afternoon, and the amount of airtime is amazing.
Though it still gets me every time and there is no way I can do front row (hate those drops)

I love that the ride goes over the people around and that you can see the fear in the eyes.

The queue line is basic in the main but does have one great part which I am always in the wrong place for.

I prefer the front half of the ride, much smoother

I agree, this is an amazing ride. Universal have really nailed it with this and Hagrid's.

The theming is spectacular, and it looks amazing when you walk into IOA and see it across the water.

This was my first time riding a coaster with inversions using a lap bar instead of shoulder restraints and the lap bar is so much better. You really get to feel and enjoy the elements more.

Personally I didn't find it much more intense than Hagrid's. The Hulk is far more intense in my opinion.

I swore the first time so in my view yes but fab too.

My favourite used to be the hulk and I could ride that back to back many times but this year once was enough for some reason.

I found the opposite, well organised and well thought out as you put in one side and take out the other.

Gringotts is chaos and a shambles
