A bit of spooky vibes is what we needed at the Studio. I love the Forbidden Forest because it's very dark, spooky and actually peaceful. If you don't like spider well maybe you are not going to enjoy it but to me, it is nothing like real spiders. Also love the effects with the lightning which makes it extra spooky. The details are amazing and it feels like you're actually inside the forest.
They have the Forbidden Forest as snippets in the Universal Studio ride but it was great to do a slow-mo walk through. It gives you time to absorb the essence of it, especially with the dramatic lighting and fog effects.
It's incredible! One of the most interesting parts of the tour!
Forbidden Forest is cool, but could've been better if it was like a maze. Be aware that it may frighten younger children with Aragog popping out and other spiders sliding down. Plus buckbeak is there!
