Did You Know?

- The queue was created by Universal Creative with designers who worked on the Harry Potter films for an authentic experience.
The Mouse For Less Tips
- Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure now accepts the Universal Express Pass, making it easier to skip the regular line—though arriving early can still help you beat the crowds. However, it’s wise to head straight to this attraction to avoid the lines later in the day!
- If you are not opposed to riding without your party, the single rider line (while a little hidden) is available. Your wait will be cut down significantly.
- This ride occasionally uses a Virtual Line system. Be sure to download the official Universal Orlando app to check availability and join the queue when it’s active.
