^It is forwards again. The ride wasn't that bad in December, but it's so short that it really isn't worth any sort of wait.
Either way, you will want to avoid it as the loop is fairly intense.
So the movies aren't allowed to do things that weren't in the books? If so, then what's the point of even making them? I thought that both scenes worked really well in the realm of the films, which I see as totally separate from the books and allowed to make some changes like the ones in HBP.
