Join Hagrid in a Care of Magical Creatures class like no other. In this lesson you'll get to ride aboard a Hippogriff.

Flight of the Hippogriff is a kiddie coaster that packs a punch. Despite it being a ride that existed prior to the Wizarding World opening, Universal has done a great job of re-theming it to Harry Potter. It is a kids ride so the seating is narrow but the ride is quite speedy. It's no Incredible Hulk but there are still plenty of laughs to be had.

It is short ride so weigh up whether the wait time is worth it to you, but it's a great first rollercoaster.
