Opened in June at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Fla., Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey takes visitors through Hogwarts, where they face a Hungarian Horntail Dragon, giant spiders, a Whomping Willow, and soul-sucking Dementors. Amusement Today voted it the best amusement park ride of 2010.
