'''Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey''' is a [[motion simulator|motion-based]] [[dark ride]] located in [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter]]-themed areas of [[Islands of Adventure]] in [[Orlando, Florida]]; [[Universal Studios Hollywood]] in [[Universal City, California]]; [[Universal Studios Japan]] in [[Osaka]], Japan; and [[Universal Studios Beijing]] in [[Beijing]], China. The ride takes guests through scenes and environments in and around [[Hogwarts Castle]] from the [[Harry Potter]] series of books and [[Harry Potter (film series)|films]]. Mark Woodbury, president of [[Universal Creative]], described the ride as an in-depth look at the world of Harry Potter, which utilizes never-before-seen technology which transforms "the theme park experience as you know it".<ref name="MuggleNet The Wizarding World 'Forbidden Journey' ... ride preview">{{cite web |url=http://www.mugglenet.com/erichpfjreview.shtml |title=The Wizarding World 'Forbidden Journey' ... ride preview |first=Eric |last=Scull |year=2010 |publisher=Muggle Net |access-date=June 29, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100413163833/http://www.mugglenet.com/erichpfjreview.shtml |archive-date=April 13, 2010 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The ride first opened at Islands of Adventure with ''[[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Orlando Resort)#Hogsmeade|The Wizarding World of Harry Potter]]'' on June 18, 2010;<ref name="Universal Orlando Resort Islands of Adventure: Live the adventure of a lifetime">{{cite web |url=http://www.universalorlando.com/Theme-Parks/Islands-of-Adventure.aspx |title=Islands of Adventure: Live the adventure of a lifetime |year=2010 |publisher=Universal Orlando Resort |access-date=June 29, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312154645/https://www.universalorlando.com/Theme-Parks/Islands-of-Adventure.aspx |archive-date=March 12, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> subsequent versions opened at [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Studios Japan)|Universal Studios Japan]] on July 15, 2014, at [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Studios Hollywood)|Universal Studios Hollywood]] on April 7, 2016,<ref name="USH 5-year PR" /><ref name="PR">{{cite web|title=Hogwarts Coming to Hollywood|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hogwarts-is-coming-to-hollywood-135136483.html|work=Press Release|publisher=Universal Studios Hollywood|access-date=December 6, 2011|date=December 6, 2011}}</ref> and at [[Universal Studios Beijing]] on September 20, 2021.

==Summary==
[[File:ForbiddenJourney.JPG|thumb|left|alt=The entrance to the ride consists of a path which proceeds between two gates before heading to Hogwarts Castle.|Entrance to the ride at Islands of Adventure]]
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey uses [[KUKA]] [[robocoaster]] technology, which allows the seats to pivot while being held above the track by a robotic arm. However, the ride is not a [[roller coaster]] but a scenic [[dark ride]]. The experience includes a flight around Hogwarts castle, an encounter with the [[Whomping Willow]] and a horde of [[Dementors]], and a [[Quidditch]] match. The ride drops, spins around, twists and turns, but does not turn upside down, though passengers sometimes lie flat on their backs. Over-the-shoulder bars are used to secure guests in their seats, and a single parabolic metal bar  is used as a hand grip. At the conclusion of the ride, guests exit into [[Argus Filch|Filch]]'s Emporium of Confiscated Goods [[gift shop]].<ref name="MuggleNet The Wizarding World 'Forbidden Journey' ... ride preview"/><ref name="Universal Orlando Resort The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Media">{{cite web|url=http://harrypotternews.universalorlando.com/ |title=The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Media |publisher=Universal Orlando Resort |access-date=June 29, 2010}}</ref>

===Queue area===
[[File:Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - DADA classroom.jpg|thumb|left|alt=One of the scenes in the queue area is that of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. It replicates the classroom as seen in the films.|The Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom forms a portion of the queue at Islands of Adventure]]
To enter the ride, guests walk through the gates of [[Hogwarts]] and begin their journey in the [[dungeon]]s where they see items featured in the movies and books. Passengers enter through the castle doors, go to the lockers, queue outside in the [[green house]] and then enter the back castle doors. Objects recognizable from the series include the [[Mirror of Erised]], the Hogwarts House Jewels, and talking portraits, which feature the founders of Hogwarts. As guests proceed throughout the hallways, they encounter replicas of the rooms of Hogwarts castle, including the Headmaster's office, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and the [[Gryffindor]] common room. In the Headmaster's office, [[Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] extends a warm welcome to all Muggles, informing them that [[Professor Binns]] is hosting a lecture on the history of the school. In the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry]], [[Ron Weasley|Ron]], and [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]] appear from under the [[Invisibility cloak (Harry Potter)|Invisibility Cloak]], urging guests to meet them in the Room of Requirement in order to sneak everyone down to a [[Quidditch]] match. Ron tries to cast a spell, which goes wrong, and one of several special effects, such as falling snow, is triggered. Before continuing on, visitors receive a safety reminder from the [[Sorting Hat]] and several paintings in the next two rooms.<ref name="YouTube Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey queue at the Wizarding World in Universal Orlando">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCvxmI6sIA8  |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/CCvxmI6sIA8 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey queue at the Wizarding World in Universal Orlando  |author=Inside the Magic |date=May 29, 2010 |work=Video |publisher=YouTube |access-date=June 29, 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

===Station===
[[File:Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey station.jpg|thumb|right|alt=The station of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey allows up to four guests to board an "enchanted bench" which is their ride vehicle for the duration of the attraction.In the back of the loading station there is a gigantic mirror.Be careful though!To get to the ride vehicle you have to walk on a moving conveyor belt!Finally, when you are about to go into pitch-black darkness, you hear Hermione's voice say three, two, one and you start to float.|The "enchanted bench" ride vehicles.]]
Next, riders board an enchanted [[Omnimover]]-style [[Bench (furniture)|bench]] inside the Room of Requirement, which lifts off the ground and through the [[Magical objects in Harry Potter#Floo Powder|Floo Network]] for a journey with Harry. The ride combines real sets and [[animatronics]] with segments that use wrap-around projection screens.<ref name="YouTube Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey queue at the Wizarding World in Universal Orlando "/><ref name="Examiner Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter"/>

===Ride===
[[File:2010 0325 PotterFly1.jpg|left|thumb|alt=A scene from the film that accompanies the ride which features Harry Potter as portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe riding a broomstick.|[[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] ([[Daniel Radcliffe]]) in a scene from the ride-film of the attraction.]]
The ride begins with a dousing of [[Floo Powder]] from Hermione Granger, who asks the guests to say, "Observatory" in order to transport them to their desired location, and the enchanted bench flies off through the Floo Network to the Astronomy Tower. The guests leave the room of requirement through its fireplace and enter the Observatory, where they look out through the open arches to the hills and lake outside Hogwarts' boundary. As the guests fly out of one of the Observatory's arches, the ride smoothly switches to a wrap-around projection screen and they follow Harry Potter and Ron Weasley around Hogwarts' buildings and towers to a [[Quidditch]] match. As Harry and Ron travel under a bridge, [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] hails the riders and asks them if they have seen a [[dragon]]. As Harry redirects the riders' attentions back to their journey, Hagrid's pet [[Hungarian Horntail]] dragon begins to chase the riders. The bench flies out of the projection screen and into a set of the uneven bridge that crosses the valley behind Hogwarts and, after falling out of a hole in the floor of the bridge, they encounter an animatronic dragon, which breathes pressurized water mist with red lighting pointed to it to make it resemble [[fire]].<ref name="Examiner Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter"/>

The riders descend into a set of the [[Hogwarts#Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]] where they encounter a figure of [[Acromantula#Aragog|Aragog]], a large, sentient [[spider]] who spits water at them. As Hermione tries to help the riders away from Aragog and towards the castle, encountering many spiders on the way, they encounter an animatronic Whomping Willow which swipes at them, knocking them into the Quidditch pitch. The ride returns to a projection screen as the riders become caught up in Harry's and Ron's game of Quidditch. As [[Hogwarts|Slytherin]] scores into Gryffindor's goal, [[Dementors]] arrive at the Quidditch pitch and Harry attempts to lead the riders away through the structure of the pitch and back to the school, but their bench falls into the long-abandoned Chamber of Secrets through a cave entrance in a cliff which Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fawkes, and Gilderoy Lockhart departed through from the Chamber in the [[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets|second Harry Potter installment]]. The riders return to a real set as the Dementors appear from the pipelines and chase them. The skeleton of the long-deceased Basilisk lies on the floor of the Chamber, and expels [[Lord Voldemort]]'s Dark Mark into the air as the benches are drawn into the mouth of [[Salazar Slytherin]]'s statue.<ref name="Examiner Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter"/>

Dozens of Dementors emerge from the darkness while one descends and attempts to suck out the riders' souls. This effect is achieved by projecting the riders' faces onto a cloud of fog in front of the Dementor, blasting cold air towards the riders, and using a heartbeat-like sound played through the sub-woofers built into the benches. (Though the fog effect is not present in the Hollywood version and is instead replaced with dozens of dementors surrounding the guests) After shaking the riders out of the trance, Harry causes the Dementors to flee with a protective [[Patronus Charm]].<ref name="Examiner Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter"/> After the final Dementor, and while Harry uses his Patronus, the riders enter the final video dome segment, where the cliffs outside the [[Chamber of Secrets]] cave in. They fly over the Black Lake, back into Hogwarts and through the Main Hall and Grand Staircase, where they are shouting wildly on by a series of onscreen characters from the movies who appear three-dimensional. Professor Dumbledore sends everyone back through the Floo Network to the Room of Requirement, where they exit their bench.<ref name="Examiner Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter">{{cite news|url=<!--Link on Wikipedia Blacklist http://www.examiner.com/theme-parks-in-orlando/blow-by-blow-account-of-forbidden-journey-ride-at-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter-warning-spoilers--> |title=Blow by blow account of Forbidden Journey ride at Wizarding World of Harry Potter |first=Barbara |last=Nefer |date=June 18, 2010 |publisher=Examiner <!--|access-date=June 29, 2010-->}}</ref>

===Restrictions===
[[File:Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - test seat.jpg|thumb|right|alt=Test seats, which replicate those present on the ride vehicles, exist at the entrance of the queue to ensure potential riders will be comfortable when seated.|Test seats exist at the entrance of the queue at Islands of Adventure.]]
While everyone may walk through the queue, all riders must be at least {{Convert|48|in|cm}} tall. The ride has no maximum weight limit, and riders can test whether the attraction accommodates their size using test seats at the queue entrance and again at the end of the queue, which are equipped with red, yellow, and green lights that indicate whether the rider can be accommodated. Persons requiring modified seating on other rides may have difficulty closing the ride's over-the-shoulder harness.<ref name="AttrMag restraint modifications"/> If passengers are unable to secure the harness, they are not permitted to ride the attraction.<ref name="The Harry Potter Automatic News Aggregator Follow-up: 'Forbidden' fatties at 'Wizarding World of Harry Potter'">{{cite web|url=http://www.hpana.com/news.21133.html |title=Follow-up: 'Forbidden' fatties at 'Wizarding World of Harry Potter' |author=The Harry Potter Automatic News Aggregator |date=June 19, 2010 |publisher=The Harry Potter Automatic News Aggregator |access-date=November 29, 2014}}</ref> In an attempt to alleviate this problem, Universal has modified the restraint system on some of the seats to accommodate larger guests. These modifications will not affect the size of the seat nor create a dangerous situation for smaller guests. Guests who receive a yellow light on the test seats may sit in modified seating.<ref name="AttrMag restraint modifications">{{cite web|title=Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride seats modified to fit larger guests|url=http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2010/09/11/harry-potter-and-the-forbidden-journey-ride-seats-modified-to-fit-larger-guests/|publisher=Orlando Attractions Magazine|access-date=September 23, 2010|date=September 11, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707185125/http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2010/09/11/harry-potter-and-the-forbidden-journey-ride-seats-modified-to-fit-larger-guests/#|archive-date=July 7, 2011|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="Screamscape July 22, 2010">{{cite web|last=Hart|first=Lance|title=Islands of Adventure|url=http://www.screamscape.com/html/islands_of_adventure.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100731142828/http://www.screamscape.com/html/islands_of_adventure.htm|archive-date=July 31, 2010|publisher=Screamscape|access-date=September 5, 2010|date=July 22, 2010}}</ref><ref name="OS restraint modifications">{{Cite news|last=Garcia|first=Jason|title=Harry Potter ride tweaked for larger guests|url=http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-09-13/travel/os-universal-harry-potter-ride-20100913_1_forbidden-journey-thrill-rides-universal-spokesman-tom-schroder|access-date=September 23, 2010|newspaper=Orlando Sentinel|date=September 13, 2010|archive-date=September 18, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918002901/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-09-13/travel/os-universal-harry-potter-ride-20100913_1_forbidden-journey-thrill-rides-universal-spokesman-tom-schroder|url-status=dead}}</ref> Modified seating is not available on the Hollywood version of the ride.

According to the Universal Orlando Resort Rider's Guide, both legs must protrude from under the restraint and form a lap. In practice, above-knee amputees will not be permitted to ride unless their residual natural limb reaches the edge of the seat (or at least includes a knee), even if the lock-bar appears to successfully engage the limb. Lower-limb prosthetics will not offset this requirement since they must be removed prior to boarding the ride. These particular restrictions are not clearly posted at the ride or on the website, which lists the height requirement only. The lower limb prosthetic removal requirement can be found at the "Accessibility Information" page under "Guests with Prosthetic Limbs."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.universalorlando.com/Resort-Information/Accessibility-Information.aspx?Intsrch=Prosthetics#Limbs |title=ADA Information for Guests of Universal Orlando<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=August 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305173836/https://www.universalorlando.com/Resort-Information/Accessibility-Information.aspx?Intsrch=Prosthetics#Limbs |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The residual limb length requirement is not listed there but will be enforced at the ride prior to boarding.  Wheelchair users who are able to transfer directly to the ride vehicle may do so at a separate area, which does not contain the introductory theming of the Floo Network.  Instead, wheelchair users pass through a series of unthemed elevators and corridors to arrive at the accessible loading area.  Only one accessible ride vehicle is available, and each party must wait for the previous group to return before they may enter the loading area.

===History===
In January 2007, rumors arose about the possibility of a Harry Potter-themed island at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://themeparks.about.com/b/2007/01/28/universal-to-float-new-island-at-its-florida-park.htm |title=Universal to Float New Island at its Florida Park |last=Levine |first=Arthur |date=January 28, 2007 |publisher=About.com |access-date=May 19, 2010}}</ref> This was followed by further rumors that part of the project was codenamed "Strong Arm" in reference to the KUKA robotic arm technology it would utilize.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screamscape.com/html/islands_of_adventure.htm |title=Harry Potter / Lost Continent Transformation |date=February 1, 2007 |publisher=Screamscape |access-date=May 19, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070203055056/http://www.screamscape.com/html/islands_of_adventure.htm |archive-date=February 3, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2007/02/05/monday-mousewatch-you-ll-believe-a-car-can-fly.aspx#.T_uiNZHrmZE |title=Monday Mouse Watch: You'll believe a car can fly |last=Hill |first=Jim |date=February 5, 2007 |publisher=Jim Hill Media |access-date=May 19, 2010}}</ref> On May 31, 2007, Universal, in partnership with [[Warner Bros.]], officially announced  that [[The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Universal Orlando Resort)|The Wizarding World of Harry Potter]] would be coming to Islands of Adventure.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Harry Potter theme park to open in Florida |last=Sturcke |first=James |newspaper=The Guardian |date=May 31, 2007 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/may/31/film.harrypotter}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Harry Potter theme park swoops to Fla. |newspaper=USA Today |date=May 31, 2007 |url=https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-05-31-harry-potter-park_n.htm }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Harry Potter theme park planned |newspaper=BBC News |date=May 31, 2007 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6706939.stm?lsm}}</ref> Preparation of the site for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter began in late October 2007, and the construction of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey began in February 2008.<ref name="The Leaky Cauldron The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park">{{cite web|url=http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/park/the-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter-theme-park |title=The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park |author=The Leaky Cauldron |publisher=The Leaky Cauldron |access-date=June 29, 2010|date=August 26, 2008 }}</ref> Construction ended in the first half of 2010.

For the three sections of the ride where wrap-around projection is used, each robotic arm continues its steady movement on the track but is met by its own individual parabolic projection screen and projector traveling at exactly the same pace. Each projection section uses a huge turntable with six of these enormous screens mounted facing outwards - one for each robotic arm as they pass by - and each screen is large enough that when in front of each ride bench its edges cannot be seen. The screens appear and disappear behind the edges of the physical sets. The robotic arms can then freely dive, turn and pivot each ride bench within the curved area, giving the illusion of extreme movement when synchronized with the projection, whilst the base of the arm on the track simply follows the slow circular path that each screen takes as it revolves. This is why each projection section of the ride is approximately the same length, as each ride arm must follow each identically-sized projection screen turntable for a set period of time.

===Design===
The attraction was designed by Universal Creative in association with Warner Bros. Recreation Group. [[Thierry Coup]], who worked on [[The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man]], [[Shrek 4-D]] and [[Revenge of the Mummy]], was the Creative Director for the ride.<ref name="Getting to know: Thierry Coup">{{cite web|last=Goh|first=Robin|title=Getting to know: Thierry Coup|url=http://tftheride.rwsentosablog.com/2011/10/05/getting-to-know-thierry-coup/|publisher=Resorts World Sentosa|access-date=July 8, 2012|date=October 5, 2011}}</ref><ref name="Theme park magic in Orlando has a new home: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" />

==Reception==
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey has been widely lauded for its innovation and theming. Arthur Levine of [[About.com]] stated that he felt he "had been taken to a truly magical place.

He gave the ride a rating of 5 stars out of 5, and wrote that the ride was the best of its kind.<ref name="The Forbidden Journey of Harry Potter Ride">{{cite web|last=Levine|first=Arthur|title=The Forbidden Journey of Harry Potter Ride|url=http://themeparks.about.com/od/darkrides/fr/Harry-Potter-Ride.htm|publisher=[[About.com]]|access-date=July 8, 2012}}</ref> Robert Niles of Theme Park Insider commended Universal Creative for its attention to detail on the ride.
