Flight of the Hippogriff, Steel roller coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure, Florida

Flight of the Hippogriff is a steel coaster located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Florida. The track runs for 335 meters (1099 feet) on brown supports, lifting riders to a height of 13 meters (42.7 feet) and reaching a top speed of 46 kilometers per hour.

Flying Unicorn opened on June 29, 2000, in the Lost Continent area of Islands of Adventure, with riders in carts shaped like mechanical unicorns. It closed on July 7, 2008, for construction of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Universal announced the rethemed ride on September 15, 2009; it soft opened on June 1, 2010, and officially opened with the new area on June 18, 2010.

The queue follows the Hogwarts grounds past Hagrid's Hut and the Forest into an open canopy where the Care of Magical Creatures class is held. Riders are told to bow to the hippogriff before the lift hill, and Hagrid thanks them at the end. The story is that Hagrid is teaching young wizards to fly using fake replicas of the creature.

Riders must be at least 92 centimeters (36 inches) tall, and adults can accompany younger visitors in the same seat. Express Pass holders can skip most of the queue, and Child Swap lets parents take turns without waiting twice.

The Beijing version's lift hill uses a chain lift, not rubber tires; the Japanese source gives its track as about 310 metres long, 12.2 metres tall and reaching roughly 46.8 km/h. Orlando and Japan run Vekoma Junior Coaster track, while Hollywood and Beijing use Mack Rides YoungSTAR Coaster hardware. The Hollywood installation was the first outdoor roller coaster at that park and the first Mack YoungSTAR Coaster in the United States.
