is both thrilling and very earnestly gentle. The opportunity to board a bicycle with E.T. You don’t necessarily have to have done the “required viewing” to get a kick out of the experience. Adventure is something magical even if you haven’t seen the source material in a while, which is the true power of all the best and most lasting theme park attractions. Adventure is a dark ride based on Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic. The only remaining opening day attraction at Universal Studios Florida, the E.T. After you’ve experienced it once, it never really feels worth it to wait when you could walk from park to park much faster and therefore get in line sooner for the Velocicoaster. This attraction ultimately ranks so low on this list due to a lack of replay value. Otherwise, it’s just kind of like riding any other train. And then the ride itself is… fine! You get to enjoy clever silhouettes of Hogwarts students walking down the train corridor outside your compartment, including a distractingly not-voiced-by- Emma-Watson Hermione. The reveal of that scarlet train really is like walking into the pages of the book. And, let’s be clear, if you’re a former or current fan of Harry Potter, the Hogwarts Express is worth the long line at least once purely for the joy of watching the train pull into Station 9 ¾ for the first time. The Hogwarts Express isn’t just a standalone attraction, but also an alternate means of transportation for guests with park hopper abilities to go back and forth between Universal Studios and the neighboring Islands of Adventure. Race Through New York offers non-New Yorkers the chance to step into a replica of 30 Rockefeller, which has the benefit of being an interesting place regardless of how you feel about Jimmy Fallon specifically. If you’re going to be waiting over an hour for any attraction, it helps a lot if you have something cool and immersive to look at. If you’ve already done a lot of these - three more are going to come up on this list alone - then Race Through New York might feel very “been there, done that.” That said, this ride gets some points for the queue. (There’s even a TODAY Café at Universal Studios now, helping everyone realize their dreams of eating eggs with Al Roker.) This ride itself is a 3D motion-simulator, so a lot of your enjoyment of it might come down to how fatigued you are over this sort of theme park ride. Is it weird that this ride exists at all? Sure! But corporate synergy means that NBCUniversal needed an honest-to-goodness NBC property to take center stage at the Universal parks.
