The concept

Together with Hagrid, you fly deep into the Forbidden Forest, beyond the grounds of Hogwarts. There you'll encounter some of the rarest magical creatures in the wizarding world. Think of a centaur, Cornish pixies and even the three-headed dog Fluffy.

The Experience

The track is more than 1.5 kilometres long and has multiple launches. You reach around 80 km/h. Along the way you ride backwards, your train suddenly drops a section and you're launched again. There are no loops, but plenty of surprises.

Hagrid's is one of the most popular attractions in the park. The queue is usually shortest right after opening.

Each row consists of a motorbike and a sidecar. You experience the ride slightly differently in each spot.

Watch from the sidelines

From the paths in Hogsmeade you can see the motorbikes racing past the rocks and Hogwarts castle.
