Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

On this night, there was a special Annual Passholders event. There was a Free poster for everyone.... a special pin/lanyard set was on sale.... and of course, all of the attractions were open. I really took advantage of having my tripod on me this night too...... I actually was able to use it inside of Hogwarts. Even better that there was hardly anyone in there. Gotta love special events. ;)

Forbidden Journey

Hogwarts Castle isn't just sitting there to look pretty. It actually houses the new ride for the Harry Potter attraction.

To describe the ride some, it's an arm system that moves along a track. You move through various scenes and effects related to the movie; with occasional stops at screens that simulate flying around Hogwarts, around the Quidditch pitch, and other locations of the wizarding world.

VERY cool ride, btw!!!! :)
