Both are fun rides, and from a strictly coaster aspect RnRC wins hands down. But Gringotts is such a great well rounded ride with amazing theming.

My daughter (12) won't ride RNR - she doesn't like inversions, but she loves GOTG. Will she ride Gringott's???? Are there big drops / inversions? We've never been to US; we're a Disney family. First trip in one week!!!

Gringotts is an immersive story that follows through from setting, queue, pre show, ride. Much more of an experience.

@Southernswthrt No inversions. The beginning has the illusion of a big drop into darkness, but it's actually quite a short drop.
The only rides to avoid due large drops/inversions are the obvious ones - Dr Doom Fearfall, Rip Ride Rocket, Hulk, Velocicoaster, probably Jurassic Park River Adventure (drop is visible so you can judge), maybe Dudley Dooright flume (drop is visible so you can judge). Hagrids drops more than Gringotts but still no large drops (recommend nervous folks sitting in the sidecar for a first ride).

If she could handle the drop on Splash Mountain she will be fine on Gringotts. It has one short/medium drop at the beginning. Other than that it isn’t anywhere near as bad as GOTG. Its a drop like Splash and then much more comparable to Big Thunder in speed and intensity. Its telling a story with start and stops for the story line.

The Mummy is an indoor in the dark coaster more like Everest with speed and a small section that goes backwards.
