Are there any drops in the Forbidden Journey ride?
There are no real drops like a roller coaster but it does 'fly' like a more intense Soarin' with a screen in front of you and there are some anamatronics that 'scare' you in the castle part after the screen, think Dinosaur at Disney.

To me it was a very magical place, just like the movie. An awesome imagination experience. I felt like I was in the actual Forbidden Forest. I definitely love everything about it, the food, can't start a walk without a butterbeer, it is always a must.
But it moves around so much. I am not a coaster person, but I would rather ride a coaster than ride this again. It is also really dark and scary. Not appropriate for kids at all, which is fine since they probably wouldn't be tall enough to ride this anyway.
How Thrilling Is Hagrid's Motorbike Coaster? On a thrill scale of 0 to 10 (with 0 being wimpy and 10 being yikes!), we think the Hagrid coaster rates a 6.5, possibly a 7 because of the vertical drop. It is somewhat extreme, but not as extreme as many other coasters.
Visitors will also have a chance to cast spells and take photos throughout their stroll in the forest. And there's no need to bring a wand from home. The experience allows guests to cast their Patronus charm with a provided wand from the Wizarding World.

We rate this ride two out of five hippogriffs in terms of fear factor, simply because it is a rollercoaster. However, there's not much to fear here as you soar across the rather tame track.
Recommended age: 8 & up (and kids must be at least 48? to ride, even if they're immune to the motion). Speaking of that wait, there's plenty to discover while zigzagging your way through the line inside the castle.
How scary is the Hogwarts Express? We rate the Hogwarts Express one out of five Dementors in terms of fear factor. With a smooth ride and a mostly passive experience, the attraction really is designed for the whole family.
Universal removed the coaster to make room for their new Harry Potter attraction. But over the years, I feel like they got rid of it because it was getting outdated, hard to keep up, and they had a lot of reported injuries. Also, they removed the dueling aspect of it after awhile, so it lost it's appeal.
