We're leaving in 3 days for Florida (woo hoo!) and plan to spend the first two days of our trip at US/IOA. Most of my family is particularly interested in the Harry Potter stuff, as we haven't been since the opening of the original area a few years back. I have extreme motion sickness and don't ride things like Spiderman and Forbidden Journey. I already know I'm not cut out to ride the new Gringott's ride, but I assume the train ride between parks shouldn't be a problem? Thanks in advance for any advice!!

Yes, it is just a very slow train ride, enhanced by special effects. It goes about 10mph, maybe.

Agree with above poster.

It does rock alittle like a real train. You might want to make sure that when you sit, that you face the forward motion of the train. Coming from Hogsmeade the train goes 'backward' to Diagon Alley.

Have a great trip!! And make sure to check out Florians ice cream. :cloud9:

Well, it IS a real train. It's a real steam locomotive so it feels like one.
