Is the Gringotts ride intense?

The ride spins you around, but it's not enough to make you dizzy. There are also a couple of roller coaster sections, including a small drop. There's nothing that intense though. You'll witness iconic moments from The Deathly Hallows Part 2 and see some never-before-seen locations in Gringotts.
