Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

[madmumof2]

Can't wait to do this this year!

My daughter is a Harry Potter fan too but she won't be tall enough to ride. My son and I will go on it but I wanted to know if she could still queue with us to see the inside of the castle and be able to get out the other end without riding?

I know she'll love seeing Dumbledore's office etc and she's have my partner with her to take her back out once me and my son get on the ride, can she do this? She's already gutted she can't ride it

I'm assuming there must be another way out for those who try to get on but then get told they're not big enough?

Yes you can all go through the queueing area together, and then wait at the child swap.

There is also a 'Castle Only' queue line if anyone wants to just view the castle interior section. Also good to use to go back through again to spend more time taking in detail.

Yes you can go all the way through as a non rider. They have an exit just before you get on the ride for non riders.

When do you go? it's only a 48 inch ride height so she may be tall enough by the time you go.

My DD was 5 last trip and was tall enough.

Or told they are too big like me

First time I tried I was too big, they showed me a door which took me to the waiting room. Last time they had added seats to cater for my larger body. Great ride.

Oh brill! So we can ride, then go BACK through the castle only bit as well?

We go October. I measured my older two last week, might have to do it again as it's a long way off! My son is just over 46" (with no shoes) so may be big enough, my daughter is showing 43"! So no chance if that's correct.

I may have measured wrong :S

 

[madmumof2]

Just checked her height chart...she's been marked at 46! :S My eldest is marked on there as 50!

I think I need to re measure, they're probably both wrong lol

That sounds more like it!

Tell her to eat her veg and there is a chance she will get on - remember they will measure her with her shoes/trainers on.

Lol that's quite a difference!

I'm measuring my kids daily hoping they'll grow...

Hi,

My youngest is 5 and has just hit the magic 48" and can't wait to ride HP in March. She is a huge HP fan and was hoping to be able to ride back in August but was a smidge too small so we waited in the child swap area, they run a loop of a HP film in there, that kept her occupied

She is not a great eater on the whole but she has really improved lately possibly due to the promise of a ride on HP if she eats/grows enough
