That is nice when you are not finding fault.

The current rumor is opening on Memorial Day Weekend. Just rumor and not a lot of confirmation on that date though. For what it's worth, none of the insiders have given an opening date after May though.

Thank you @DoubleJ21 how bad do you think Hogsmeade will be in August. Not trying to get on the coaster, just checking out the shops and the "castle tour" aka chickening out.

I've never been during that time, but I'd guess it'll be busy, but not too brutal.

Plus (and I think we can all agree on this point) it's definitely going to be a motorcycle coaster.

Hogsmeade is naturally a bit more crowded feeling, regardless of general park business. People gravitate towards there and its a huge draw. Completely worth dealing with the people though. My advice is go early though. Diagon Alley is definitely still busy but more conducive to walking around and taking it all in.

From all descriptions, this is not a coaster you should be "chickening out" from. It will be fun and exciting, but family friendly and
not be missed.

Not me but somebody who gets very sick on BTMRR even after taking medication.

Then definitely avoid Forbidden Journey.. That is a very difficult ride for people who dont suffer from motion sickness. My wife, who does a little, had a very rough time.

Forbidden Journey is really one of the worst rides if you have motion sickness. At least for me

Which is a real shame because it is one of the most incredible attractions ever built.

It has a lot of flaws. Other than the ride system, there's not much to write home about. The sets are unremarkable, the CGI hasn't aged well, and the ride story is all over the place. In terms of executing on an overall vision and story, Spiderman is still the best ride at the whole resort. In my opinion.

It is better with the new projectors and profiles. I loved it at first but as changes were made to the ride profile and the images were not as sharp it became a struggle but since the refurb it is great. Still plenty of motion so if that bothers you I would stop before riding. Queue is still top rate.
Simpsons is more nausea inducing I feel - by far

I agree. It definitely could be of the best complete ride experiences in Orlando, but the attraction makes me sick every time. My wife was only able to do it once. I wish they could come up with a less intense version(like Mission Space).

Ok I understand now. Cave or bridge?

I agree. I loved FJ and was amazed by the range of motion you experience. Simpsons is more screen driven and probably overall
doesn't have as much actual motion, but I felt more "off" when I left that ride, than FJ.

The part of FJ that sometimes gets me is the rocking motion in front of the dementors. That just goes on way too long for me.
The Simpsons has never bothered me, but it seems to be one of those attractions that messes with a lot of people. My wife won't ride either one of them anymore.
