Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a themed roller coaster that rivals Orlando’s finest. It is set on the grounds of Hogwarts.
After waiting in a highly themed queue that keeps you moving, you will board a coaster made up of motorbikes with side cars. Be sure to try out the sample seats ahead of time. Some visitors report that the seats can be difficult for people with waists over 40″. The motorbike is more comfortable so be sure to request that seat.
The roller coaster uses several launch sequences and features hard banks to the right and left with twists and turns along way. It slows down at points allow for good theming.
At one point you shoot into the air and fall back to earth backwards so there is plenty of thrill for the family. This is not over the top and is something that can be enjoyed by tweens to adults.
The theming is really where this roller coaster shines as you get to see Hagrid and many of his favorite magical creatures along the way as well passing through the Hogwarts grounds which is a treat.
