Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventureis the not only the newest attraction at Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter, it’s also the first major new addition since the Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley lands both opened in 2010 and 2014, respectively. Unlike other attractions likeHarry Potter and the Forbidden JourneyorEscape from Gringotts, this new ride is a bona fide roller coaster withintensethrills that also combine with some tactile and highly themed dark ride elements to make for a hybrid of sorts that’s unlike anything either of Universal Orlando’s parks has done before. It is, quite simply,the best ride at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yet.
But with news of10-hour wait timeson opening day and demand likely to be high in the coming months, you may be curious to know just what you’re in for if you make the trek to Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park and journey back to Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. You’re in luck, as I got an early look at the attraction and got to speak to some of the people responsible for creating it in the first place. Here’s what you need to know.
There’s plenty more to explore and enjoy throughout this attraction, and I’ve been careful to not ruin a couple ofgreatsurprises that are better experienced cold. But trust me when I sayHagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventureis seriously the best ride at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yet—especially for roller coaster enthusiasts.
