What kind of ride is Escape from Gringotts?

[Dreaming~of~Disney]

Is it similar to the Mummy, The Simpsons Ride, HPFJ, a combination? Just trying to get an idea. I get motion sick but I am ok on the Mummy, I close my eyes during some of the movie portions of HPFJ and the Simpsons Ride is just to much for me so I ride with my eyes closed the entire time because my son loves it but doesn't want to ride alone. Thanks!

If is similar to Mummy but with fewer and less thrilling coaster parts. More a combination of Spiderman and Mummy. I haven't heard of anyone getting sick on it.

Thanks! That is what I needed to know. I do OK on Spiderman too. Just wanted to be mentally prepared! LOL

I actually watched that exact video this afternoon but still was unsure about what kind of ride it was.

I haven't ridden it yet but the video doesn't help too much because there are so many dark portions!

If you look at the ride vehicle though it looks like a mild version of the Mummy.

I actually watched that exact video this afternoon but still was unsure about what kind of ride it was.

It is a 3D roller coaster, where you put on the 3D glasses and look at the big screen, then your cart start to spin and "fall". Actually it is moving on roller coaster track but the car stops after a few mild drops and then to another scene. Amazingly done coaster worth all the wait to do again and again. It is a mild coaster. Less intense than Mummy!! Imagine they allow 3D glasses to be worn on the coaster it wouldn't be too vigorous.... Enjoy it. I fall in love with it the first time I rode it.

There is only 1 drop and I don't think it's bigger than the woody woodpecker roller coaster. If you can handle woody, you will be fine on gringotts
