Tell me about Gringotts ride

[Pats Dragon]

I haven't read posts in a while so probably I missed all the new reviews of this ride. How scary is it? Is it a roller coaster? Is it wonderful?

I was in universal 2 days ago and the ride was so cool we just had a bit of an audio dely and we complained to the worker and they let us ride again and go right to the front.

Its not scary at all its a 3d roller coster with a couple minor drops and alot of twosts and turns nothing seriously major

It is a dark ride with a couple of coaster elements. There's a mixture of sets and screens and you wear 3D glasses. You are in a vehicle like Dinosaur that moves in every direction.

It is thrilling. A bit more so than I expected. My 7 year old who's not very brave said it was scary but she loved it.
I'd say it's more of a 3D ride with a few roller coaster drops. The entire cart does a 180 as well.

Are they drops like..Splash Mountain drops or like.. Goofini drops lol? I need this in a Disney context, please

I thought the drop was more like PotC. Gringotts is way smoother of a ride than FJ.

It's a little hard to compare because this isn't a straight up track ride. The first drop was almost totally in the dark and "felt" like a Splash Mt drop. There is another drop where the 3D visual is down the side of a mountain and that wasn't quite so steep.
The 3D aspect changes the perception on the actual drop.
