Damn, she's a tempermental beast isn't she! And by she, I mean the ride. Seems EG just went down again?

Nope. They just jumped the gun. Attractions posted 1 minute ago that they're next in line.

Here's ThemeParkInsider's shot of the boarding area hastily lightened up a little bit:

So, did ANYBODY get to ride Gringotts all the way through tonight? Ugh. So close.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah... everyone went quiet on twitter. Probably being evacuated from the ride. Kinda sad.

 

[Voidfish]

Oh man. Andrew Sims just tweeted "I won’t name names but several stars were stuck inside Gringotts while it was down. They came out all smiles though."

I'm sending my condolences to Universal's pride.

I think it's also the best clip of its roar we have so far.

Chills.

OMFG! Thanks ravenclawdia! I love that deep dragon growl before the flame. Was hoping there were some atmospheric cues that she was about to blow. LMAO at the screams in most videos.

That looks awesome!

thank you for sharing

 

[USO92]

That. is. terrifying.

Wow

 

[Voidfish]

It looks like some people are still "inching along" in the Gringotts line, so we may get some solid reactions yet.

From InsideTheMagic. The pictures move. I'm in love.

Also, I think I've posted more tonight than in any day of the five+ years I've been on this site. I'm still a rookie.

Attractions posted a video of Diagon Alley on their YouTube channel

The "website that shall not be named" got stuck on Gringotts and posted a picture from on the ride. I won't directly post the image due to minor, minor spoilers, so click here to see it: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqdaoB5IIAA599b.jpg

Is it only me or is anyone else pissed off that Disney and Universal, alike, don't do event previews like this for their annual passholders?

 

[badlactose]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone posting all the blow-by-blow Tweets and photos and videos from Diagon Alley tonight. This is so much more fun than sitting in a pub and watching people kick a ball around on the television screen (which is what it seems everyone else I know is doing tonight)

AND WE HAVE A WINNER! From Theme Park Insider:

"Theme Park Insider ‏@ThemePark 38s
Broke down on first attempt. The second? Wow. Even better than Forbidden Journey. [HASHTAG]#gringotts[/HASHTAG]"

From @ThemePark:

"Broke down on first attempt. The second? Wow. Even better than Forbidden Journey. [HASHTAG]#gringotts[/HASHTAG]"

From @Attractions:

"We rode most of the way through Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts until it broke down. But what we did experience was awesome. We'd describe Gringotts ride as a cross between Mummy and Spider-Man or Transformers. Very thrilling."

Even better than FJ!

I kind of agree, screw the media. Though I know Universal wants them to hype everything up for business. But it sounds like we may get an AP preview day, I just hope they give us a heads up so I can request it off work.
