I think any review of a ride that states the queue is better is a pretty good indicator of the quality of said ride.
Except Forbidden Journey queue is better than the ride in my opinion and the ride is still great, same with Gringotts and Fallon.

Thanks for this review! I’m interested to know how ‘broad’ the appeal of this ride is to those not familiar with the franchise. Are you guys quite familiar with the movies or not?My family and I really like the ride and everyone in our bus seemed to have fun - much, much better than Fallon and not quite as good as kong (which I really like).

I watched the whole saga (for my sins) in anticipation of the ride and don’t feel much the wiser as to whether I’ll ultimately enjoy it more or less for having suffered through some of them . Just curious to hear thoughts from folks with different experience of the property beforehand.
The IP itself doesn’t interest me enough here. Are F&F fans going to enjoy this? I haven’t seen a single movie, so the 90% of the ride that’s a TV screen or musion effect with the characters doesn’t do much for me. It seems like you barely even learn their names.
That’s not necessarily a knock on the ride, I just have been more interested in other rides with source material I haven’t seen (Fallon, Transformers, etc.)
I feel like this has been Universal’s MO for years now. Forbidden Journey got more attention for its queue (come see Hogwarts for realz!!) than the ride itself, especially from the public. Kong had an over proportional amount of praise for its queue too. You could even go as far back as Despeciable Me or Simpsons, both of which were praised heavily for their queues.
I’d go as far as to say that the Diagon rides are the only modern Universal rides where the ride gets as much praise as the queue.
Happy to be proven wrong.

Is the exit the same building as Earthquake?
It was a very long walk out of Disaster too.That’s a ridiculously long exit ramp.
The exit on Disaster was basically just the length of the train. The door were right at the end of the train was.It was a very long walk out of Disaster too.
I have a feeling that was a TM who waited until softs opened to public if it was really up that quickly.Literally hasn't been open 15 mins and we have a POV.
I love IU.
The queue is not great. There's nothing wrong with it, but even in with the two pre-shows, there's nothing that stands out about the queue other than that it looks like if Test Track and Disaster's queue had a baby.yea because Universal is worried about that one tweet while most are ride is okay but the queue is great.

Sounds like a cool combo to me.The queue is not great. There's nothing wrong with it, but even in with the two pre-shows, there's nothing that stands out about the queue other than that it looks like if Test Track and Disaster's queue had a baby.
Doesn't make it "Great" though.Sounds like a cool combo to me.
Are you serious??Doesn't make it "Great" though.
Calling the F&F queue great is doing a disservice to truly great queues like FJ, Gringotts, Kong, etc.
