I would say no. I also think it is going to be one inconvenient attraction to experience. Especially if you rent a stroller from Universal.
Hopefully it is a nice attraction.

Stroller part aside, what do you think will make it inconvenient for everyone else?

Needing a two park ticket. Being dropped off at the other park, and having to wait for a probable long queue on a return. Imagine if the Seven Dwarves Mine Train dropped you off in Epcot. It would definitely make me much more apprehensive to when and if I experienced it.
If you have a two day Universal Pass, one park per day was very doable. This new attraction changes the game in a very inconvenient way.

I also think I may enjoy it more than Gringotts. It is a ride for the entire family, and I think it will focus on the lighter side of Potter(which I always found more fun).
Well, the goal isn't convenience -- it's giving you a reason to buy a hopper. If the ride is good, it's an excellent incentive -- an attraction you can't experience without having a hopper.
Besides, the inconvenience could be a convenience if your goal was to get to the other park. Now you have a way to do it without walking. Of course, initially the wait will probably be insane. But after a year or two, I imagine the express won't have a huge line, and then it could be a great way to transfer parks without walking.

I don't get the impression that Gringotts with be showing the "lighter" side of Potter.
From what I am hearing the HE is much more of a themed experience than just an attraction. The themeing in the stations, the detail on the train, and the fact that you get off at a different place really drives home the feel and story.
And all your favourite characters might be in it too!

Your complaint about transportation is that it transports?
You really are trying.

Renting a stroller could make it easier. If they are smart the will have you take all your belongings and get a new Universal Stroller on the other side. People who bring strollers from home will have to fold the up plus have all there belongings.
Hey ho. Wonder what's next?Your complaint about transportation is that it transports?

My first complaint is that without a two park ticket, you will not be able to experience this attraction. I think it will be an okay attraction, I just find it a very inconvenient money grab attempt by Universal.
The only ride for the entire family in Universal requires a 2 park ticket. Not cool at all.
