Hogwarts Express: Hogsmeade Station
At Hogsmeade Station in Islands of Adventure, you board the Hogwarts Express to London. The train takes you to King's Cross Station in Universal Studios Florida, where Diagon Alley is just around the corner.
The concept
The Hogwarts Express links Universal Orlando's two Harry Potter areas. The journey from Hogsmeade to London is a different ride from the one in the opposite direction. In the books, the train leaves King's Cross at 11 o'clock and arrives in Hogsmeade after nightfall.
The Experience
You step into a compartment and watch the scenery through the window. Along the way, you'll see familiar characters and creatures from the books and films. It makes the switch to the other park feel like part of the adventure.
