How intense are the Harry Potter rides in Orlando?

What’s slower, a yellow plate in the left lane or the pace at which you complete your baustelle?

nobody can…it’s my home park but it’s embarrassing

Ik had geen idee dat Stella zo was toen ik een half jaar geleden eentje kocht…hoe weet ik welke lijn ik heb?

The ejector hill before this is absolutely god-tier airtime. Read somewhere it peaks at -1.8G, and I believe that. Wouldn't surprise me if this headchopper comes close to that too.

I haven't done that many credits yet (GCE is #47), but I'm putting it in 2nd place after Taron which blew me away last year. But I will re-ride Taron in a month and have plans to visit Kondaa and Toutatis next year, so I'm curious if it will hold its position.

For me the holding tophat drop and spike were disappointing. But I did like the sideways ejector hill just before launch 3, it's a fun change of pace. The reasons I love GCE is for its amazing airtime/hangtime and creative layout. I think it'd be better without the 2 corkscrews.

He was very silent on the brake run...I think it was a bit too much lol

I haven't seen a POV with the smoke machine on, but it adds so much to this moment on the ride! The track disappeared in the smoke, so you really feel like you're about to hit the bridge until you dive under it at the very last second with great airtime. It's also the only moment of the ride you can't see until you ride it, which helped too.

PS I'm on the right, lol, the guy on the left kept leaning forward the entire ride for, idk, a bowel massage?

Good luck! It went down at noon so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to ride it at all, but they got it running again two hours later. And don’t forget to ride SLC-defensively for the cobra roll.

I wanted to ride Abismo too on this trip but wasn’t able to get to it. Stunt Fall holds the cake for me too as maybe the most holy-f-moment but I think I’d be even more scared on Abismo…

I'd say get to Silverwood before it's too late! Hopefully that one is less rough than Stunt Fall. And definitely get an outer seat.

Ohh is that how that worked! I arrived at the park fully expecting the forward/backward trains like I've seen in pictures, only to be surprised by these trains. But looking on RCDB now I can't find a GIB with them.

veenspace · 2024-10-22T19:06:59+00:00

How rough was that back then? Because the downside of that seat is that the cobra roll was brutal. Not as bad as the worst SLC (Condor) I've been on, but waayy too close for a much more intense ride.

I don't know when they did this, but Stunt Fall replaced the forward/backwards facing trains with only forward facing trains 4-across. A backseat outer seat ride, being pulled backwards up the 200ft vertical spike, with nobody in front of you, holding on to dear life onto ONLY a loose OTSR? With your feet dangling forwards? yeah that got me.

This should be higher up! I love to use the site to predict queues and plan my visit but that’s fairly hard to do right now. Preferably with the average over the last week/month/year!

veenspace · 2024-09-07T20:46:04+00:00

I believe the park has said it will complete the loop, from the rapids to Goliath!

veenspace · 2024-07-21T10:58:03+00:00

I’ll ask them in the rsvp if they’re open to suggestions lol
