- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a multi launch coaster located at Universal's Islands of Adventure that opened June 13th, 2019. It replaced a pair of Bolliger & Mabillard dueling inverted coasters named Dueling Dragons. The ride costed a staggering $300M (likely inclusive of Dueling Dragons demo) and features a plethora of technology whilst straying from the norm of screen based rides. But how does Hagrid's magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure work? Let's find out!

I got off this ride feeling as though I’d been transported. My jaw was dropped to the ground and I was speechless. It’s the most unique ride ever.
Besides Rise of the Resistance of course.
When I went to universal for the first time over the summer we went on Hagrid’s. We didn’t really know anything about it, we just knew that it was a Harry Potter ride so we went on it. We were all blown away. My favorite ride at Universal
@@JesusisKing2000 they are probably my two favorite rides ever
Yes the part where if fell scared me
i loved the ride so much, i went on it twice!
Not a Harry Potter fan, but this coaster is jaw dropping. The intricate nature, and all it's moving parts running in perfect harmony is nothing short of an engineering marvel.
If universal was willing to pay over 300 million for this ride you’d think Disney would fix the yeti
Its just not worth it because of how quickly it goes by and how long the ride will have to be closed.
Right? That's what I was thinking. Maybe they could also even do an automatic switch track instead of waiting by the broken track for about 6 seconds.
Disney mistakenly anchored the yeti to the show building instead of anchoring it into the ground and building the show building around it. So instead of two distinct structures, it counts as one complete structure. After first opening the ride, the yeti operated in A mode for so long, that it was starting to break the foundations apart. If they activated the yeti in anything other than "D mode (disco yeti)," in which it currently operates, the yeti animatronic would literally collapse the entire ride. If they were to "fix the yeti," they would have to totally demolish the entire show building, completely redo the yeti and build everything back up from scratch. And that would be so costly to do that it would be the current year dollar amount equivalent on what they spent to build it in the first place.
I love how in depth this is.
The drop track took me by total surprise on my first ride. Had no clue it had one. The ride is perfectly done. Not the most intense ride but still tons of fun. Best family coaster on the planet. Period
This is hands down the greatest ride I've ever been on.
More info about Hagrid's:
-The preshow with Hagrid and Arthur Weasley actually has 2 projections; one on the transparent screen and another on the back wall for added depth
-the vehicles do not keep track of which RFID tag is used to dispatch a vehicle. The platform is monitored by HD cameras and if an incident were to occur, those cameras would be used to determine who dispatched a vehicle.
-The speed of the moving walkway and the vehicles in the station can be slowed to allow guests with limited mobility to board safely. This does not affect the rest of the ride unless the platform is kept at the slower speed for an extended period of time, at which point vehicles will back up to the final launch.
-In addition to the bus bars in the station, there is also a short section on each drop track to charge the vehicles while they're parked there.
-The blast ended skrewt and Hagrid figures were built by a company called Animax Designs. The unicorns were made by Life Formations
-The drop tracks are hydraulic, not pneumatic, and do not need to actively home into position at the bottom of the drop. They are slowed at the bottom of their descent by induction currents between permanent magnets and copper plates on the track and its supports. There are pneumatic shock absorbers that slow the track down the last few feet, and when these shocks bottom out, the track is already lined up and ready to dispatch.
-If a vehicle is approaching the end of its block and the next block is not clear yet, the vehicle will actually slow down to give the next block more time to clear. It will only stop if it gets to the very end of its current block and the next block still hasn't cleared yet.

Thanks for the info. Though someone beat you to it via Twitter. I just keep forgetting to put in the edits comment.
Awesome to hear from someone that worked on this. Never been to any of the disney parks, but I'm so curious about the engineering side of things there.
@@dadjake Disney definitely likes to do a blend of tried and true engineering and experimental. Universal tends to put thrills first and experimenting second.
Cool
Okay but out of curiosity what happens if the drop track fails to reset and a car is coming down the track?
Tbh when I got on I had low expectations, but boy I was wrong. I was blown away by the lack of screens and the amount of animatronics and beautiful scenery. The backwards track along with the drop blew me away. If you go make sure to ride! The wait may be long but it is absolutely worth it
I miss Dueling Dragons!! I really was so mad when I heard a "family" coaster was replacing it. Complete buzzkill, then I rode the ride and WOW. I have to admit Universal made up for trashing the dragons for this ride. Although I still think they could have kept BOTH rides. There was plenty room if you got rid of poseidons fury.
I really wish they kept both coasters, I loved dueling dragons so much but velocicoaster and hagrids make up for it, atleast we’re getting a sort of dueling coaster for the new epic universe park
they are basically bringing it to epic universe in 2025
I saw a video that IIRC said Dueling Dragons had some problems with guests getting injured. I don't remember the details, but if true that was part of why it was shut down well before it was dismantled.
@@darrennew8211 One guest got their eyesocket broken or their eyeball popped or something like that, anf left them with permament damage. As a shoe of another rider came crashing into their head during the hit and miss looping section. Which was the reason why they got rif of that section, and eversince then the interest in that coaster declined.
You get your wish they got rid of PF
13:35 For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of the block zone is a method to stop the train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another.
Who do you think you are...ElToroRyan??
I remember standing in line for this ride for 3 hours.
I’ll give you a hint: It was totally worth it.
It’s not even worth a wait half that long unless you’re like 9 years old.
We got to the park with early admission and ran straight to this ride. The line was already 3 hours long. Was never able to get on it over a 3 day visit.
@@kungfumachinist That's why you need to check out the _Orlando Informer_ Event that happens there.
100% I will always happily wait whatever the time is to ride this. just maybeee get express passes so you have time to do everything else after 😂
We stood in line for 2.5hrs and the thing broke down for the night before we can ride it.
I just went on a Hagrid’s motorbike ride and it’s the best roller coaster I’ve ridden so far. It has every box checked, it’s super fast, goes backwards and even drops you. Best universal ride ever.
If this costs more than Everest, I really, truly hope that the Yeti on this one works.
B mode incoming
Mythical Actor Someday.
disco hagrid
It actually amazes me how they have still not fixed the support that holds the yeti, the yeti is not in the middle of the mountain
@@aqueleindie disco fluffy
People watching: That looks slow :(
When they try the ride: OH MY GOSH THIS IS CRAZY!!!
It's really great, I went on it a couple times and was blown away. It helps I was in the front seat the first time riding
Accurate. It really does look slow when you see it but riding it is another thing, it’s so fast!
YES that is so true!
I felt that way too when a mock up vid came out, I was like "aww man this is for babies!" NOPE! LOL
I remember standing in line and not having high expectations based on speed and what I could see. Boy, was I wrong. Probably my favorite ride of all time.
5:39 I love the little nod to the fact that in the book the baby unicorns are actually gold instead of white. I also love the blast ended skrewt at 6:46.
Can you do a "how the forbidden journey or escape from gringotts works"
Gringotts is a 3D roller coaster ridem
It has a 30ft drop in the beginning.(ask for row 1 in case u r scared of heights and do decide to get on)..its less of a drop.
I work there.
@Bekah Cassidy I'm not good with coasters and I rode both multiple times. They're not really too bad
There are both now lol
Great video, once again! Thanks for the credit and all the work you put into this one.
Thanks for letting me use your archive, it's super hard to find any good shots of DD actually dueling.
@@AmusementLabs You are welcome. I am just happy that anyone likes to put that footage to good use.
@@SeanFlaharty h
Hay wait ur in his video!
@@arsomist Well, my footage is at least. I am not. :)
The gear is at 10:36
what's the hidden gear?
Ken Johnson top right on the blue border
I was fortunate to go to Disney world and Universal studios for the first time in Febuary and i was blown away by how great this ride was and it is by far my favourite. As the video stated at the start it is an incredibly well rounded ride. You have the perfect amount of thrills thanks to the rides speed, sharp turns, backwards track and a small dark drop, as well as a fantastic immersive and entertaining experience with the robotics, environment, the cart/motorbike itself and hagrids voice constantly talking to you via the speakers. I really hope universal add more rolelrcoasters like this that anyone can enjoy. 10/10.
Spent 90+ minutes waiting for this ride. Hella worth it. The drop was definitely an interesting shock.
I loved Dueling dragons and was sad to see it go...until I rode this. It’s a great replacement.
This is an incredible ride, I've ridden this 5 times and its always fun.
First coaster that i feel kicked off my love for coasters. I usually close my eyes and hold on tight my first time but this one i was filled with joy and glee, i laughed and grinned, eyes open and even by the end lifted my arms. I love the launches!
I look forward to this. Especially because I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I am not much for roller coasters either but these videos and reviews are very helpful.
That ride was awesome. The acceleration was intense and the drop (I didn't know if was coming) was awesome. Definitely a thrill.
I look into rollercoaster tech and never seen so much on one ride... Need to try it at some point.
Chris Burrow enjoy but do be careful with the wait times, by far the longest wait time of any ride and it doesn’t have the Express Fast Pass
during covid I went on the ride 2 times in a row and only 5 min wait
@@ethansoto4242 dang lucky. I’m here right now and the wait was an hour long. definitely worth it tho
I absolutely love this ride. The first time I rode it, it instantly shot to the top of my list of favorite rides.
Videos like these really help alleviate any fear I have of a coaster breakdown. The first time I got stuck on the Hagrid ride, was right after the drop. I had a fear the next coaster was going to just backup right till it dropped onto us, this has helped me realize that wouldn't happen unless it was a SEVERE malfunction.. Thank you 😊
Dueling Dragons (Blue in particular) was one of my favorite coasters as a teenager. I just rode Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure a week ago, and it was amazing! Definitely my new favorite coaster!
Honestly.. no matter what the wait time is.. this ride is completely worth it!
3:33 “...as the ride does not go upside down” RMC has entered the chat
I know. It's just a common misconception amongst the GP to say "that's unsafe" if it does have an inversion and only a lapbar. Somehow it hasn't clicked that coasters aren't in the 80s anymore and that restraint design has improved massively.
Coaster Labs - they think rides in general are unsafe, rides that go upside down even more, and if they know anything about restraints at all it’s amazing
Schwarzkopf has entered the chat
@@zuzelino5889 they might if they were still around...
@@TS_Mind_Swept the problem with gp is that they don't even raise how basic physics work.
You don't need a harness on inversions, as you as literally pushed into your seat, only ejector hills and extreme banks give the feeling of being "launched" from a coaster.
I love the open-ness of the new restraints on inverting rides.

🚨Edit alert🚨: Yes, I know I said LIM when it's LSM and that it can run 12 trains. The drop system is hydraulic. Not all this information was available at the time of making the video.
Coaster Labs I was about to comment about permanent magnets meant it was LSM, glad you corrected it 😊
on the taron launch it even says on the magnet fin LSM
Actually they can only run 11 out of 12 trains for maintenance reasons 1 train will always be for backup or be in annual maintenance
@@mecredneck1 there's 14 trains total.
Cool they are currently running almost at capacity with 10 trains running a day
this ride was amazing and it blue my mind. any wait time was completely worth it. we went into this not knowing about the drop track and all you could hear from us was "ah! what the ***!?!? what the ***?!?! omg omg that was awesome oh god what the ***!!??" then it launched again and when we got off it was just the biggest happiest smiles id ever seen on all of us haha it was great
I’ve severely underestimated this ride. I thought it was it more on the mild side but that drop has me shook. The technology is downright amazing to run 7 trains at once. 😮
I'm up to 5 times, I love it though the wait is still crazy even with fast passes and handicapped passes, Parts of the queue can be really claustrophobic, but if you give yourself a space of a couple feet from the people in front of you its usually ok for me. This was interesting.
I got to ride it 3 times on the day I went due to a handicap pass. It was still slow with the pass but unbelievably worth it. Hands down the best ride I have ever ridden. I also felt like sections of the ride queue were worryingly claustrophobic. It would be difficult to get out during an emergency as the tunnel sections without emergency exits was long. The only other thing I didn't like was the sound in the preshow room being insanely loud. May gusts had their hands over their ears. After a long time in that room, it can get a bit redundant hearing the same preshow over and over. This was during the 3rd week after it opened so, I would like to say they were still working some stuff out. People were watching entire 2hr movies on their phones in the regular queue which is insane.
This comment ages well since we have to social distance now lol
Yes I felt so claustrophobic at times during the inside cave
I hope they retain the 1m safe distance even after COVID is over...
I rode 3 times in 2 days thanks to handicap pass & child swap! It was sooo awesome!
I’m sooo glad I went in blind..has no idea what to expect. Blown away
This was extremely informative and I personally knew how this ride worked but I think you explained it very well. Now I need to show/send it to my “GP” friends. I’m such a nerd when it comes to amusement parks,roller coasters,thrill rides etc. etc.
Thank you. Yeah, that's kinda who these videos are for, for the general public who aren't coaster enthusiasts. So they can get a better understanding of how it work and not say there's a battery and the train moves on its own, etc.
You sound like me. I could obsess over rides coasters, amusement parks and how they work all day. Haha. Hit me up on ig if you ever want to talk coasters. Thesocaleskimo.
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Just an FYI, even if the ride did go upside down it could still use that restraint system. Many coasters that offer multiple inversions use just a lap bar.
Oh I'm aware it could. I'm just clarifying for the common misconception that if a ride has an inversion it _must_ have a shoulder harness which is hardly the case anymore.
i dont think it could. i really dont feel that secure when im on the ride. on the other hand though rip ride rockit goes more over my stomach rather than my lap. i would not be okay using the hagrids lap bar to do an inversion
@@Teeter11 RMC models are some of the most intense coasters with only lap bars. Its truly a thrilling experience
Teeter11 rip rocket has no inversion it doesn’t go upside down
@@deanbrown7470 it does have a loop..
"Oh hey, cool, this sounds so cool, I wanna go on this thing--"
*AL describes the drop track*
NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE!
same!!!
It’s epic. Highly recommend
it was so unexpected when i rode it but totally worth it
I was really scared for it bc I hate free fall drops but it’s like .2 seconds and you know when it’s coming so it’s not a surprise
I rode thinking it was gonna be an upgraded flight of the hippogriff, and MAN was I wrong. Amazing ride
It's rather ironic that passengers of larger build can't ride the bike, look at Haggrid
So, they built the bikes in a smaller scale so that humans can use them... plot twist, along comes a giant.
many people can't fit the now thing I with universal ddi was make every ride it every person like Disney does not not even a very large man and I don't fit on any Harry Potter ride except for gringots barley and in the last row of the mummy and not even close on the velocoster
This was my favorite ride! The attention to detail of the decaying buildings made you feel like you were exploring the unknown! It started a light rain when we made it through the line and the rain hitting your face lightly made it even better making the motorcycles feel more real!
this was a really cool video, i never knew this was the most expensive coaster built now and i never even knew it had the drop track section, that thing is insane, coaster technology has gotten so advanced over the years its insane
Hands down best ride i've ever been on. Tried the new Velocicoaster ride which was wicked too as a roller coaster but this ride had magic!
This was so cool! I’ve always loved coasters and learned some things! That transfer blows my mind with how fast it is from the forwards to backwards section. Expedition Everest takes forever! Thank you! I love intamin rides! I still have to say I love Cheetah hunt at Busch gardens the best!
Thanks so much for making this! I've been trying to google how this ride works for the past few days after riding it but couldn't find anything!
Great! Glad you liked it! 😁
We have 14 trains total. 1 as a standby, 1 in mx and on paper 12 running the course.... 1
Right now the sweet spot seems to sit at 8 SOMETIMES 9 trains.
Yeah, I found out about the extra trains after making the video, but man FOURTEEN TRAINS?!?! That's insane.
@@AmusementLabs yeah 12 trains is... yeah.... lol Your videos rock btw and this video is badass!
@@caflybois thanks. 😁
I love the detail of this video. Thank you very much. Would love to learn more about show control systems and how they've been given the ability to extend their scenes based on feedback from the ride control systems. You're awesome, thanks for the hard work!
Thank you! I'm glad you.liked the video. It'd probably be very difficult to find out how something like that works as that's usually a trade secret.
I had to watch this video because I was so confused and intrigued on how the drop worked. I literally was not expecting that at all and I was so confused how a piece of track could drop to another track! It was phenomenal!!
Wow! That's all I can say😮😃I have a son who is studying electrical engineering, he would love to watch this. The ride is one I'll have to get on for sure. It gives you an appreciation for the building of the ride. Thanks so much for this explanation.
Happy to entertain future engineers! 🙂
(If he's really into EE then maybe an Arduino kit would be a great fit for him, I know they were for me)
I rode this for the first time on grad venture last week and i luckily got first row single rider!! It was awesome and i felt like i was flying!!
I rode this right just recently and it was awesome! I just want to do it again! One of the best rides ever
A masterpiece of a ride! We rode it for the first time at night! Highly recommended
I enjoyed this ride. I was not blown away by it. And maybe it was because I was sour for the fact that it took more than two hours to get through the line. I love how the narrator of this video talks about how many trains they are running but they were doing that on my day.
Block sections can be freaky. I've never been a huge coaster person since I'm never great with higher G-forces. But I tried the Mummy ride at Universal and was white-knuckling it most of the time. At the scene with the fire, we stayed there a rather long time, enough so that the scene completely reset for the next car. We could hear the screaming and track noise of the car behind us, and it sounded super close. I was in the back of the car, and I had that feeling of adrenaline so hard that your hearing is weaker and you feel lighter. We made it out, but for the next hour or so I was still crazy on edge
great video! (waited until after I rode it before I watched)
I was on line for 90+ minutes in rain and beating sun but it was so worth it
IT HAS A DROP??!?!!?! I knew about the rest of it, but OMG you definitely have my attention now lol. I really hope I can get on this during my trip to Orlando late next year. Thanks for this video! It was very informative and educational.
It has a 17 feet drop and I wasn’t expecting it I thought there was something wrong on the system and we will fall to our death or get injury, really fun
This is the best ride I’ve ever been on and I still go on about it months later
Wow. Will certainly have to ride this when I go out there. Thanks
The first time I rode this, I was with a group of people and we were celebrating my friend’s aunt who was visiting for her birthday. One of the people in our group had an assistance pass (like Disney’s DAS) and booked it for us, then after we rode it he decided we definitely needed to ride again and booked it a second time. While we were in line the second time, my friend’s aunt was chatting with some of the team members and generally charming the pants off of them, and they noticed her birthday button and said we could ride twice if we wanted. So we got off the second time and were brought back around to ride a third time. Basically, I went from never having ridden this ride to riding it three times in one day. And it has the potential to be very different each time depending on where you sit (front or back, bike or sidecar). It was so fun. I get why it pulls such insane wait times!
the landscaping and design is incredible. Don't overlook the amount of effort time and money that went into that. Insanely beautiful
the drop on this one drew a real life-fearing-scream from me, i'll never forget it
THIS VIDEO WAS F****** AMAZING!!! This is my favorite ride at islands of adventures and learning about how ride work only give me more appreciation for it! Great job in the video!
Wow. That drop track looks amazing! I can feel the butterflies in my stomach from home.
And the whole assembly is super heavy so you really feel it.
We just visited Universal and it still has crazy long lines. 2 1/2 hours was the longest that I saw the wait time and it NEVER went under 90 minutes on a weekday in October. I can only imagine how long the wait times are on the weekend or during holidays. The ride is ABSOLUTLEY worth the wait though. It's fantastic and entirely unique.
Thursday a week before Thanksgiving the shortest wait time was 50 minutes all day with an average of about 90 minutes. The only two rides in the park that I waited more than 25 minutes for that day were this and Velocicoaster (no single rider line and a 50 minute wait). In fact those were the only two rides in either park on Thursday or Friday that I had that kind of wait for. Yeah I'd say it's still plenty popular. Good thing since I don't expect much at either park until after Epic Universe is well and truly up and running...
Literally my favorite ride in all of the Universal Studio parks
i hope i can ride this one day. Excellent job providing all the details on the workings of this ride
Thanks. It's a one man show here so comments like your's mean a lot. 🙂
This is my all time favorite ride❤ SO much fun!
First and only time ever at Universal and this ride was closed the whole time i was in the harry potter world. The castle ride was good and the atmosphere was really cool but i did want this ride so it was disappointing when we first tried to go that it was closed. On our way out of the harry potter section we noticed a employee telling people the ride is open and we were able to walk all the way to the front without waiting in line just enjoying the walk there. Waited about 5 minutes to get on and the ride was one of the best rides i got to do that day. I know it's probably rare to not wait for a ride like that but it was defiantly worth it and made my day.
Great video! I’d love to ride this, it looks great! It’s like Th13teen on steroids.
Rode Hagrids back in August and Th13teen today....I agree with you ha
wow, i didnt know technology like this existed yet!
very nice ride, and very nice video presentation
pog.
Definitely one of my favorite roller coasters. It has a great mix of everything.
That drop is awesome !
I'd imagine its a very fun coaster as you're not locked into a big seat like most coasters. It feel more open and like your riding and actual crazy bike.
That drop track would make me drop something myself.
bruh I was not expecting that at all. it only felt like it was 5 feet not 17. I freaked out at that part
You absolutely CAN feel it. It’s pitch black and it’s literally the only time you stop, then all of a sudden WAM you fall. It’s quick and it’s fun. I had watched a POV, so I knew it was coming. My friend had NO idea and she literally screamed at the drop. I was laughing so hard at her reaction.
@Michele that’s good to know bc I’m really scared of drops so I’m glad that you actually don’t really feel it!!! Not sure about the backwards drop yet bc of the drop but I think it won’t be bad bc it didn’t look like they went that far up and back so I’ll probably just close my eyes and scream lol
Great video! I’m a big fan of intamin rides and would love to visit universal. I’ve been on 13 at Alton Towers many times, and if the reverse of travel direction and drop work as well on this then riders are in for a treat!
Best ride I have ever risen, thanks for the cool video!
This is some of the best video content on the whole interwebs!
I just rode this today and I that 17 foot drop was scary as hell but the ride was awesome!!!!
I'd be very interested in learning more about science behind the design and safety of these rides. I'm very tall and was unable to ride any rollercoaster at Universal save for flight of the Hippogriff
Wow! Great vid. 🙌 Thanks for using our content. Hope your channel blows up. You deserve it. 👍
Thank you. I hope so too. I'm hoping to get some of the same viewers who watch Art of Engineering since he got like 4M views on his Tower of Terror video and has another coming out tuesday.
What?! That’s incredible. It’s possible, man! Just keep producing good content. The numbers will come. 👌😁
@@ThemeParkGroupie I've got another one coming soon on a certain simulator at WDW that just opened at Disneyland. Trying to get it out the day the other opens.
That drop was a new trill and awesome !
This is such a fun, fast and yet beautiful ride! So so nice.
I don’t know if this counts anymore but the gear is at the part that says video credits fresh banked wdw in the top corner in the blue
Best rollercoaster I've ever been on!!!
Honestly this actually the best Harry Potter ride so far I went to all of them already except the train which it only transports you to one theme park to another
I love this ride. The launches are really cool, (Even though the ride makes unsettling noises during the longer launches)and I liked the unique ride cars. The drop track at the cave part is my favorite.
Wow what a comprehensive video! Thank you for such an interesting and informational look into this crazy ride
Rode this totally unaware, at night and on the motor bike. I thought it was a kiddie ride 😂…WRONG!! My favorite ride EVERRR!!
This video was VERY WELL done! First time watching your channel, but I definitely enjoyed this video and so I subscribed. The quality of the video, the excellent narration explaining all the parts of the ride, the editing and the use of music/audio is done very well! So glad I watched this video - I will be back for more!
Best coaster I've been on!!
Me too:)
March 9, 2020
I think this is the best roller coaster I’ve ever been on.
I don't like to ride coasters but I would give this a shot. Always fascinate the engineering that goes into them.
th-cam.com/video/b487O0qTpXo/w-d-xo.html
You did a flawless job covering this coaster.
Thank you 🙂
Last time I rode DD was 2002, and it was a great coaster. But I love Hagrid’s
I remember when I first found out dueling dragons was being demolished; I was heartbroken. The dragons were my first coasters that went upside down (I was peer pressured haha) and sparked my love for coasters in general. I marathoned them both with my buddy that whole day. Hagrid’s, however, was a great replacement. It’s an excellent ride, even if I’ll always hold a small bit of pettiness to it for replacing the beloved dragons
This is a very good ride for family.
I do not like roller coasters AT ALL, but this was super fascinating! Really inventive how they move the cars around and add to the experience
With all those requirements for track sections to be perfectly aligned and all the possible issues that could go wrong, it was no wonder why the ride time was 3 hours long and why it kept being shut down due to issues.
Looks like a cool coaster. I know absolutely nothing about Harry Potter, or who Hagrid is, but the coaster looks like fun. Hopefully it never malfunctions and shoots off that ramp. That is the only scary part. I like that it doesn't go up real high, or flip over. Great explanation of how the ride works!
