Inside Gringotts today show

The Today show on NBC has posted a video showing their host Al Roker inside the queue of Gringotts Bank ride at Universal Studios Florida. It’s in promotion of their week-long contest and sneak peek at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley.

The video below shows Al walking through the bank lobby, with animatronic goblins lining the room. This is where guests will walk on their way to ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, which is expected to be an indoor roller coaster which will take guests on a high-speed journey through cavernous passageways that lead “deep underground”.

Here’s a video by Universal showing the goblins talking.
