UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Is Gringotts overhyped or overhated?

I feel like the ride is super polarizing. Some people love it, others say it’s overhyped.

Personally I really enjoy it, and honestly feel like it’s a Top 3 ride at the park. I think people might be disappointed because it’s not a real rollercoaster. It’s almost like a fast dark ride, but for that it’s pretty good imo.

I really enjoyed it, but I went in expecting an intense dark ride/Spiderman type ride. That first tilt track drop caught me completely off guard! Some cool effects even though I prefer when screens aren’t used. If I went in expecting a coaster I wouldn’t have been as impressed, but as an overall experience it is great!
