Revision as of 12:54, 12 March 2019
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is an upcoming rollercoaster attraction at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Orlando. The ride will open on June 13, 2019. The attraction will replace Dragon Challenge, and will take guests on a flying motorbike tour of the Forbidden Forest lead by Rubeus Hagrid, and encountering the various magical creatures within. The attraction will be located at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade on Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Ride overview
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure allows guests to join Rubeus Hagrid on a journey into the mysterious Forbidden Forest. Guided by Hagrid, guests fly deep into the Forbidden Forest to brave the mysteries and thrills beyond the ground of Hogwarts Castle. The attraction will combine storytelling and innovative rollercoaster technology, and includes fully detailed and rich sets such as an actual forest with more than 1,200 live trees.
Guests joining the attraction will first join Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class and board enchanted motorbikes that will take them closer to some of the wizarding world's most dangerous magical creatures. Guests will either ride the motorbike or board the sidecar and the motorbikes are designed to give the riders the freedom of flight. The guest experience will differ depending on which part of the motorbike you are riding in. The rollercoaster itself is a free-wheeling ride which twists, turns and rushes forward and backward at speeds of up to 50 mph. As the rollercoaster proceeds through the Forbidden Forest, guests will get closer to magical creatures such as Centaurs, Cornish Pixies, Fluffy, and a creature that has never been seen in the films before. Guests will experience challenging obstacles such as becoming entangled in Devil's Snare, and encounter quite a few surprises along the way.
