Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure boasts lots of ground-breaking elements including a free-fall vertical drop of up to 17ft, and seven launches, the most of any rollercoaster in the world. Rollercoaster enthusiasts will make a beeline for this ride, as well as Potter fans who will get to spot lots of magical creatures, and even the famous blue Ford Anglia from the Chamber of Secrets along the track.
Riders can choose to sit on the motorbike like Hagrid or in the sidecar, just as Harry did. Journey beyond Hogwarts™ castle, past Hagrid’s hut and into centuries-old ruins where the Care of Magical Creatures class officially begins. Hold on tight, it’s definitely going to be a bumpy ride!
