Like Universal Orlando's other original Harry Potter-themed rides, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is spectacular.
Located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure (one of three theme parks at Universal Orlando), Hagrid's is a hybrid dark ride and roller coaster. Unlike nearly all other attractions that attempt to blend the thrills of a coaster with the immersive storytelling of a major E-Ticket ride, Universal hasn’t sacrificed anything. It is both a richly themed, compelling attraction filled with stunning animatronics and other captivating elements as well as a full-throated, scream-tastic coaster.
