I read on another site about a Ministry of Magic ride coming?
Any truth to this?

That's the rumor.

Ministry of Magic is rumored to be going where the Fear Factor theater is now in Studios, either connected directly to Diagon Alley from within the Alley, or accessed from the London streetfront (which thematically might be more in-line with how it is in the books and movies since I don't believe it's located near Diagon Alley)

No. Relocating offices located elsewhere won't make the stage area bigger.

Death Eaters vs Dumbledore's Army as the basis of the story and I'm sold.... !!!

I'm hoping for a coaster that won't be an insane thrill seek, nor a child like snail paced.
It would be great if they could create something thrilling, yet something for the WHOLE FAMILY to enjoy. And with no screens !!!

You’re correct- the Ministry is not in Diagon Alley, but hidden in a different part of London. To make it fit thematically, a queue that you access through a phone booth would be best (since an elevator would be impractical, I suppose you could walk right through it), or some sort of floo powder effect (that would probably be turned off within 2 months).
I would assume Uni would want to connect the exit through Diagon Alley, but I’m not sure how they’d work that out.

This has probably been brought up, but do we have a theme for the ride? (Like Forbidden Forest?)

Not me. I'm selfish.
I hope it's an indoor Smiler with animatronics and fear-inducing chemicals pumped into the HVAC.
Wasn’t originally thought to be FF oriented, but new info suggest a broader theme with multiple areas represented.

Make it a family friendly coaster, indoor segments, a good story, a few thrills, good animatronics, a few screen areas.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN? Either it will be a pure full on 100mph adrenalin filled looped coaster.
or :
You don't move and it's all screens.
Why can't Universal just give a balaance.

Is this an intentionally dumb post?

I think you nailed it with your first description. Supposedly, at one point the ford anglia travels beside you.

The train goes backwards to Kings Cross Station in London/Diagon Alley.
There was speculation that the RV could be themed to either the Ford Anglia or a Motorbike Coaster themed to Hagrid's/Sirius' Motorcycle with a sidecar. But with the Ford Anglia traveling beside you then that being the RV seems unlikely. And we have quasi-confirmation about a backward section, so a motorbike coaster seems unlikely. What seems likely is mostly outdoors, some smaller show buildings, one possibly with a projection effect inside, some AAs. A family friendly terrain coaster with multiple launches. No loops.
Why can't you drop the hyperbole? It's abundantly clear you don't even like Universal, so why are you here?
Yep. That’s pretty much the coming ride.
