Express, Single Rider and the Harry Potter Attractions?

Do you get to experience the inside of the Castle and Gringott's if you use either of these? My DH would love to see them but absolutely cannot ride due to motion sickness. He was ill for two days after Spider Man.

Thanks!

You get to see a lot more with the express line than the single rider line. If he was sick with Spiderman, he should not ride Forbidden Journey for sure. Spiderman is mild compared to that. He must have very severe motion sickness because not many people complain about illness due to Spiderman.

His motion sickness is pretty bad, especially with simulators. Thanks for the advice-we'll use Express if the line is bad and he'll just exit before boarding.

Or just walk thru the regular line and don’t get on at the end.

It's Spring Break and DH's enjoyment of this sort of thing is directly related to how long he stands in line for it. It's going to be a delicate balance between seeing the cool stuff and not venturing into "It's not worth this." territory

Single rider sees almost nothing on those rides, or any other ride.

Single rider for Gringotts skips most of the actual bank (you get a glimpse of it when you first walk in, but not enough to really explore it, and skips the pre-show/elevator bit. Single rider for Forbidden Journey lets you see the Gryffindor common room, but not much else of the castle.

For Both HP rides, but especially Forbidden Journey, the regular line is amazing and very entertaining (except the greenhouse part for FJ). I don’t think your DH would be bored or impatient. My husband has tolerated them very well! What we have done is step into the regular line and if it is backed up into the greenhouse very far, we step back out and do the single rider line. But you do miss a LOT of the detail in the queue; the single riders lines do skip most of the queue and it sounds like that is the most important part for your son.
