"Hogwarts Castle looms over the village of Hogsmeade at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, and has drawn thousands of guests since opening in 2010. The line for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey winds through halls of the castle, and is nearly an attraction in itself; what awaits is one of the most technologically advanced theme park attractions you'll ever experience. Somewhere between a dark ride and a thrill ride, the attraction uses a mix of physical sets and video projections to make you feel as though you’re soaring above Hogwarts as you join Harry, Hermione, and Ron for an adventure across the castle’s grounds." - Valerie Marino
