Ride Experience.
Before you get on the ride, you can choose either the Motorbike seat, or the Sidecar seat. The Motorbike seat is a lot taller than the Sidecar seat. The ride begins with the Motorbikes launching you out. You dip down with a bunch of turns as Hagrid says he will meet up with the riders at an abandoned hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Once the Motorbikes reaches the Hut, a Blast-Ended Skrewt sprays the riders as Hagrid meets the riders to tell them they will pick up the rest of the lesson later. After launching out of the hut, the bikes launch’s fast and go up and down a large hill into an area of an abandoned castle. Hagrid tells the riders that the bikes are out of his control and are flying into the Forbidden Forest. You launch fast, and slow down to see fluffy. You make a sharp turn and a dip. You see The Weasley’s Car, and you start to go up when suddenly the track ends and The Motorbikes lose power. You head backwards and launch again, only this time your going backwards. You head into a cave and get tangled up in Devil’s Snare. Hagrid asks you to say "Lumos Solem". Once we say that, the cart drops 17 feet. You go forward again to the last launch. Hagrid says, “Push the Purple Buttons”, and you launch 50 MPH, you go up into a sharp turn, the ride takes your picture, and you stop. The ride pulls up to 2 Unicorns. One is a mom, and the other is a baby. And the ride ends there.
Review.
Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure opened on June 13, 2019. I went to go ride it on June 16, 2019. I waited 5 long hours to ride the ride. Was it worth it? YES! This ride is the best ride at Universal Orlando Resort! There are no screens on the ride, which is something Universal has not done in years. All the animatronics are top-notch, the ride is a blast, and if I could, I would put in my back yard to ride it all the time. I give this ride a 10/10, 5/5 stars, best ride ever. If you are ever at Universal Orlando Resort, I HIGHLY recommend you ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure!
