PHOTOS: Both Pre-Shows Return Inside Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts at Universal Studios Orlando

The magic has been restored and the mischief has been managed. Both pre-shows have now returned to delight guests once more inside Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. We stopped by today to check out the reopened experiences.

Instead of Team Members handing out 3D glasses to guests as they walk through the queue, glasses are back in their bins and guests can acquire them directly themselves.

Previously, guests would continue walking directly through this area with no pre-show.

Guests enter the “nine-mile” plunge into the earth aboard an elevator with a bouncing floor and ceiling projections before making the rest of their way to the ride vehicles.

  1. I’m definitely excited to see these pre-shows! We got our annual passes during COVID so we’ve never been able to experience them :)

  2. Do we know when any other pre-shows will be open? They’re one of my favorite parts of the Universal Orlando experience!
