Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the flagship ride at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
It is not a roller coaster, but a robocoaster… the Forbidden Journey utilizes KUKA technology, which allows the seats to pivot while being held above the track by a robotic arm.
The ride performs such movements as dropping, spinning around, twisting and turning. The ride never goes upside down, however there are a few moments when riders are flat on their backs. Over-the-shoulder bars are used to secure guests in their seats, and there is a single metal bar shaped somewhat like a parabola which gives guests something to grip.
The Height Requirement for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is 4ft

Rider review
We then hightailed it to Hogwarts. Inside Hogwarts is probably the best ride I’ve ever been on. I’ll leave something left to the imagination, but it honestly feels like you’re flying. It’s pretty cool.
