1. Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey
One of the newest rides on this list Universal Studios' Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey was a smash hit and overnight success. Never has a ride brought a movie to life placing the audience in all the thrilling dangers Harry, Hermonie, and Ron faced in the films. Like Revenge of the Mummy, the waiting line for Forbidden Journey can be an enjoyable experience. Once you have entered Hogwarts castle you must travel through the dungeons and up to the main floors, witnessing many things taken from the movies. The interior is a really cool design that keeps you interested up till the point of being loaded aboard a magical bench, which seats you and three others. The ride itself takes you through a crazy flight around the spires of Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, a quidditch match, and the Chamber of Secrets. All the while you are being chased by dragons, spiders, and several dementors intent on collecting your soul. It's an intense ride, more than you would expect from a family friendly Harry Potter dark scenic attraction and leaves many feeling that they've just experienced a roller coaster when in reality it is far from being one. Forbidden Journey might be the signature ride of the Harry Potter themed park at Islands of Adventure, but it is far from being the only thing to see and experience. While there check out everything. Go into every shop and restaurant and look around. The entire place is interactive and made with genius design. You never know what you might see.
