The most anticipated attraction in Diagon Alley is the roller coaster “Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts.” With dynamic ride technology and immersive visuals, visitors are rapidly plunged into a dangerous and exhilarating escape mission. At the same time, the story of “The Tale of the Three Brothers,” derived from the final book of the series, will also be performed on-site.

However, it should be noted that visitors must purchase tickets for both Harry Potter areas to enter and can take the Hogwarts Express to travel between the two parks, exploring Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts Castle, and Diagon Alley.
