Are these even worth comparing?

As far as I'm aware, the tyres are only being used for the two launches, I'm not sure if they are using them other than that.
Found some cool images on Theme Park Insider of shots inside the Gringotts building
I'm aware Lofty posted the first one already but I couldnt see the second one

There was the whole thing a while back with them fitting the wrong material on the wall in the station in Hogsmeade which caused them to have to do it all over again, not sure if that held them up a significant time or not though. The HE has been testing as there are videos of it leaving Kings Cross ---> Hogsmeade
Yeah they offer that pass for $95 or whatever it was for you to jump the queue once.
Problem they had last time was actually getting people into the area as well as it's so narrow.
They ended up giving people time slots to go back later in the day.
You can understand the hype though.

I know this is really fussy but they have now put a great looking dragon on top of the building. My one gripe and probably a bit OCD is that the tail can be seen above the London buildings.
Yes it's not a big deal, however that area in the books is hidden from normal people's view so I'm sort of hoping they can hide it.

Obviously people have ridden this ride now and most people are describing it as "Mummy meets Transformers/Spiderman". The whole area looks incredible but there's one thing in particular I wanted to point out...
I was watching a vlog about it and one of the two presenters couldn't ride it. Not because he was fat (although on the larger side he's not so big he can't ride things) but because of his legs. Turns out they've added leg restraints which I feel are becoming more common. Apparently they don't leave much room (if any) and if you're too tall or have long legs you may suffer the same fate.

Been reading mixed reviews of everything.
The area is meant to be fantastic but the attractions are not meant to be that great.
Have only seen the train and it's so hard to tell. The screens look like crap cgi and they never used the real voices. However it is a transport ride so it's better than just windows looking at ride buildings
The other ride is meant to be ok but nothing as grand as it was meant to be. Some say once you do it once or twice to you will be in no rush to do it again.
As normal everyone likes different things and povs etc only give an idea of what it's like.
But seeing everyone raved about the original ride not really sure what to think.
