Gringotts is neither a good coaster nor a good dark ride, it just settles for "it moves you somewhat fast in the dark sometimes and that's close enough." At least RSR does a sensible job demarcating those experiences in its story so it all feels natural.

Why did you put the 3rd, possibly even 4th best HP ride up against it?

How do you figure 4th..? Surely you don't think Gringotts is worse than Hippogriff...

Hey hey, Hippogriff does have more animatronics on the actual ride. Or animatronic I should say. LolHow do you figure 4th..? Surely you don't think Gringotts is worse than Hippogriff...

I’d definitely put it behind #1 Hagrids, #2 Forbidden Journey, and #3 Hogwarts Express… and probably Hippogriff. It was my least favorite ride of the 2 HP areas, beautiful exterior and queue but the ride itself was just weird, screen, 50 feet of track, screen, 50 feet of track… a one and done for me.How do you figure 4th..?

RSR vs Forbidden Journey would be a better question.

1) HagridsHow do you figure 4th..? Surely you don't think Gringotts is worse than Hippogriff...
2) Forbidden Journey
3) Either Hogwarts express or Gringotts (I personally like Gringotts more, but I can see a good argument either way)
4) The other one
5) Hippogriff
Also RSR would be solidly #3 on this list for me (Ahead of Gringotts, behind FJ)

I always said the only way they should clone Gringotts to USH is if they added a Mummy-style rollercoaster ending. If they also do get rid of Mummy in the future, this would be the easiest replacement route to go. Otherwise I don’t want it lol.

Grigott's.
Radiator Springs is cuter and Grigott's is more exciting which pretty much sums up all of the Disney & Universal ride comparisons.
To determine my answer, I switched the IPs in my head. If Gringott's had the Cars theme, it would be far superior. The ride itself is better while I enjoy the theme-ing of Radiator Springs more. But to me, it's not just all about the theme.

Whats crazy is the size of Gringotts. It's ~90,000 sqft (including queue). The mummy is under 65,000 sqft at Hollywood

It would be. But an even better question would be RSR Vs Hagrids. IMO RSR blows away FJ.

I actually think FJ is superior to RSR... but only by a little.
I think both are better than Hagrids actually. I like Hagrids but the set dressing isn't as good as it is in RSR or FJ

Really? The stunning mountain range, the mini thrills and the scale/ scope put it way ahead of FJ for me. Those screens on FJ are too dark and low resolution but that seems to be my complaint on many screen rides except for WEBslingers and Mission Breakout both which have plenty of other issues.
I haven't been on Hagrid's. Only FJ (USH) and Hippogriff (USH). Hagrids looks incredible.
