Universal reveals more details of new Harry Potter ride

Universal has revealed more details of its latest Harry Potter-themed attraction, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

The resort revealed that guests will ride magic motorcycles, riding either the bike itself or in the sidecar, which have been designed to let them feel the freedom of flight.

The rollercoaster will reach speeds of up to 50mph and will travel both forwards and backwards as it twists and turns through a forest of 1,200 live trees planted for the experience.

Guests can also expect to encounter creatures seen in the films including the centaur, Cornish Pixies, Fluffy the three-headed dog and an all-new creature never before seen in the films.

The ride will open on June 13, at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.
