Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Steel roller coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure, United States.
Description
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a steel roller coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure in the United States that lets riders sit either on a motorcycle or in a sidecar. The track winds through replicas of a dark forest and dips underground several times.
History
This ride opened in June 2019 and replaced the former attraction called Dragon Challenge. Construction took more than three years and introduced new technology in both track systems and moving figures.
Culture
The ride draws its story and scenery from the Harry Potter books and films, placing guests inside a fictional quest through Hogwarts grounds. Fans often spot hidden references and props in the queue that echo moments from the original series.
Practical
Riders must be at least 48 inches (122 centimeters) tall and may choose between a motorcycle seat or a sidecar. Wait times tend to be long, so arriving early in the morning or late in the evening helps.
Did you know?
The track includes the first vertical drop section in the United States where the rail suddenly descends and the cars fall downward. Riders reach around 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour) multiple times during the journey.
