You can still flip gravity by pressing up with a Gravitation Potion or a Gravity Globe when riding a mount, kicking you out of the mount, even though the 1.4 changelog from almost two and a half years ago said this should've been fixed.

The changelog even stated:

Fixed an issue where pressing UP to flip Gravity would dismount the player from flying mounts. Now, it simply does not flip Gravity when in mounts.

, but this is still happening in current versions of Terraria.

Welcome to the forums Andrewmeda!
Where did you find the changelog that said that? I cannot locate it in the official changelog.

 

[Andrewmeda]

The one on the wiki: 1.4.0.1
You should be able to find the quoted statement above on the second bullet point under that header.

Thank you! I will check what happened here. That changelog quoted is quite old (it's for version 1.4.0, and Terraria is now on 1.4.4) so it may have been reverted (accidentally or intentionally, I cannot say).

I took the time to look through the changelogs for updates after 1.4, all the way up to 1.4.4.6 (the current version), and none of them even mention this issue, which leads me to believe that the intended behavior is that pressing up when riding a mount shouldn't flip gravity, as if this was intentionally undone it probably would've been formally stated in one of those changelogs.

I'll look into this for discussion; I don't remember the change myself. However, it may have been made by necessity, so it is possible we may simply officialize the change. I'll try to see what can be done here.
