The Wizarding World of Harry Potter ™- Diagon Alley

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™

  Min Height: 42”/3ft 6"/106cm

You definitely don’t want to miss this ride.

The adventure begins before you even enter Gringotts^™ bank, as you pass beneath the massive fire-breathing dragon at the far end of Diagon Alley™!

Inside, walk past the hard working Goblins in the bank’s detailed marble lobby and keep a look-out for the 4 chandeliers that are made up of nearly 62,000 crystals!

The inside of the bank is exciting enough, but just wait until you get to the vaults.... You’ll be taken on a perilous journey through cavernous passageways that lead deep underground, trying to evade malicious villains along the way.
