I rode it today on its Grand Opening and it's incredible! Loved the smoothness, great animatronics, and just overall thrill. One of the best rides at both Islands and Universal.
I just rode this ride recently it was incredible. I bought the poster you showed. I love you guys page and I’m so jealous you guys live so close to galaxys edge, keep up the fun content!
One thing I enjoy about finding your channel a little late is that I can go back and binge watch some of your older vids! This is such an amazing ride! Not sure if you guys got to ride it at night but it feels like the ride goes even faster in the dark!! The detailing in the cue (que?) is honestly mind blowing at Universal and especially in H.P. land. They do a phenomenal job keeping you visually entertained even in long lines like Hagrid’s. Love reliving these rides in your videos.
This was SUCH a great video. I love you guys! I SO wish there was space in SoCal for this ride also. But man, leave it to Universal to bring this world to life.
I've been binging your videos! And of course I got excited when Warwick Davis came out! I saw him opening day at Universal Studios Hollywood when they finally opened Hogwarts. Of course I got excited and yelled, "WILLOW" He's the best!
Such a fun ride. That monday after grand opening waited 6 hours to find out I was bigger than Hagrid's. It gave me a goal, which I lost weight to ride it.
How much time did you wait in line? I went like 4 times in 2 days. Worst wait was 45mins. But you don’t get bored. It’s just a long walk instead of standing.
@@OrdinaryAdventures You are lucky!!! Nice video too...did you get a chance to check out mine? I cdnt do one with the entire ride...i forgot my wearable camera :-(
Ok, I hate to be "that guy" flooding comments... but... Of all the Hagrid vids I have seen this is by far the best. You took the time to stop and show us the queue, most people just kind of show it as they run past. Slowed you down, but made for a much better vid. Also, no offense but as a relatively new channel, how did you score such a great view, in the box, for the ceremonies?! Best vid yet, mate. 😎
Thanks so much. We just know what we’d like to see. As for getting a good view of the ceremony, we just got there early and instead of eating the free food and drinks we waited it out in the spot for the ceremony. Ha.
Awesome! I think he just said hello when walking from the car to the stage. He didn’t say much. I also cut out a video message from the actor who plays Hagrid because it didn’t show up well from the screen.
For the animated short showing how you board the ride, they should have used a different color than red. Red is not a good color to depict something to be “correct”
Love the Harry Potter lands! I was a little skeptical this might be more for young kids, but your review changed my mind and can’t wait to ride!!! Thanks!!!
I am curious regarding the potential for motion sickness. When Everest goes backwards I get a little motion sickness. Does it compare to that regarding motion sickness, or is it better or worse?. I feel that I HAVE to ride this when I go in December but am concerned about getting sick.
I tried to ride it Saturday, but the safety bar wouldn't pull down enough. So Im gonna work hard to lose some weight then go back and enjoy the rides I couldn't
I had the same thing happen to me on forbidden journey years ago and it became the catalyst for me to lose 60 pounds and finally ride the ride. I have since gained a lot of the weight back but I wish you good luck on your journey! - Peter
I am amazed you can ride Forbidden Journey with motion sickness. I've heard from the staff that they have to clean up because people have gotten sick on it. I will not ride that again. For me that is a barf bag ride. But yes I agree Hagrids is absolutely amazing.
I am 270-275, 5’9’ and fit in the motorbike seat. Kitra had to push down on the bar once I was in the seat but I made it. The same thing happens for me on Forbidden Journey so I’m guessing if you can make it on that you can make it on this ride
Does the lap bar lock where you are at, or does it have to hit a specific locking point like the mummy? I just barely make it on the mummy, so wondering if I'll make it on this.
I see excitement here for the new motorbike ride. Cool. At another place they say the people are not showing excitement because of the summer heat. But both are taking place in the summer. I think Harry Potter wins!
I am enjoying all your vlogs, and of course subbed. . I retired to the Philippines and miss the theme parks. My kids and I did Spring Break in Orlando for 11 years. The opening year of Potterville was insane! ha ha That ride better be awesome if it is taking the place of the Dueling Dragons - Hagrid has some big shoes to fill (pun intended). 😎 Dude, at 4:07 that was like a full on TV camera. Is that what you carry?
You guys are great after seeing your video, I really want to go to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. It's my favorite movie. I'm for griphindor, what's your house you identify with.
Hello! Is this a strong and fast roller coaster? I want to know that because I like roller coasters but not so fast and strong haha, as in scale of 1-10?
Kitra doesn’t love intense roller coasters but can do Everest at Animal Kingdom and Incredicoaster at DCA. I think it’s more intense than both of those but not like the stuff you’d find at a six flags. It’s enjoyable. I’d say it’s a 7 out of 10.
@@OrdinaryAdventures I have never ridden in the everest in Animal Kingdom, and I want to ride in this Hagrid in October when I go but I am afraid that it is very strong for what I am used to haha and that I do not enjoy it!
Mafer Solano well we wish you good luck. I would say try it out but I’m sure the lines will be super long for the first six months so it might not even be worth it?
I like the ride better personally but it’s for the most part a location you don’t see in the movies so it’s not the same because there aren’t memorable props or locations. The theming is on par with the other stuff in Wizarding World and the animatronic creatures and Hagrid are very cool.
Spoiler: after rolling passed the 3 headed dog and up the ramp, the coaster will go backward which will take you to a complete different location, this will confuse your senses.
Hollywood has house restrictions due to the residential neighborhood surrounding the studio which has prevented them from doing any big outdoor coasters
Well it is a roller coaster. But does the person even hate themed coasters like Everest and Matterhorn? This is more themed than those. But if they hate all coasters, I don’t think this would change their mind.
I think it loooks ok because there doesn’t look like there is much of a drop. I hate roller coasters but I will be going on that ride so I don’t think it will be too bad
Universal has no photography or video signs everywhere. You basically have to put everything not in your pockets in a locker before riding. But I’m sure someone will eventually sneak a GoPro on. But this isn’t the sort of ride that you could even capture on video. The acceleration has to be experienced in person.
I have just discovered your adventures and I would like to thank you for the amazing presentation and your authentic love for family fun.
Thanks so much!

We agree! So much fun!
i worked at universal hollywood right out of high school in 89. Before the misters, people would be passing out left and right in the backlot :D
I just rode this ride recently it was incredible. I bought the poster you showed. I love you guys page and I’m so jealous you guys live so close to galaxys edge, keep up the fun content!
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
This is hands down the most immersive theme park ever. I visited back in Dec 2018 and it was amazing.
You've obvs never been to Tokyo Disney Sea lol

Yes! We rode it at night and I agree! You can’t see the track and it feels faster
This looks like so much fun. The theming alone is spectacular but the ride design sells it. Thank you so much for posting a vid, great content.
Thanks for watching!
It’s cool that y’all visited on a nice and overcast day!! Definitely adds to the magical vibes 🧙♂️🦉🕸🍄✨🌬
Totally makes it feel like the UK
This was SUCH a great video. I love you guys! I SO wish there was space in SoCal for this ride also. But man, leave it to Universal to bring this world to life.
Thanks so much! And I agree!
I cant believe i missed this vlog! And yes, Im going through old videos because you guys are so cool.
Thanks for watching 😄
Great video! Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure with us! I can’t wait to make my way back home to Universal!
Thanks so much for watching! And I hope you get to make it back to Universal soon :)
You guys rock! Phenomenal job as always. Can't wait to ride this thing!
Thanks Vlogzilla!
I've been binging your videos! And of course I got excited when Warwick Davis came out! I saw him opening day at Universal Studios Hollywood when they finally opened Hogwarts. Of course I got excited and yelled, "WILLOW" He's the best!
He’s so nice
The ride operator was so knowledgeable! How cool. Love the background music too! Great choice 🕷🌙🏍🏰🌠
Thanks 🙏

Loved this ride
I'm going down to Florida tomorrow to try the new ride! I'm so excited!
Good luck with the lines!
Amazing as always guys, can't wait to ride this in December!!
Thanks for watching John you’re gonna love this roller coaster!
Awesome ride... can not wait for the chance to ride it.
Great vid! Wish Universal Hollywood got more love and got rides like this.
Dude, Hollywood is getting Jurassic world right now
They need more space hopefully they buy the golf course next door.
That would be awesome
We love love love this attraction!! One of our favs!! We enjoying filming it as well. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks
How much time did you wait in line? I went like 4 times in 2 days. Worst wait was 45mins. But you don’t get bored. It’s just a long walk instead of standing.
We were there on a press day before opening day. We got on twice
@@OrdinaryAdventures You are lucky!!! Nice video too...did you get a chance to check out mine? I cdnt do one with the entire ride...i forgot my wearable camera :-(
subscribed to you guys not too long ago and i love your videos!!! you guys are my favorite theme park vloggers ❤️
Yay thanks so much Tiffany
Can’t wait for 10 years to ride this😃
Ice Potter bruh 😂😂 honestly tho
I’ve been waiting to see this!! Great video guys.
Thanks for watching!
YESSS I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you so much for sharing! Looks like y’all had a blast 💖
Thanks for watching!
So are there, apart from the 'surprise indoor track', any big drops, which is really the only thing that we hate in my family?
The drop track and backwards moment are the only big surprises
I’m going next April!!! That theming is top notch for a ride like that!
Ok, I hate to be "that guy" flooding comments... but...

Rupert seems a bit shy? I see Tom and Phelps brothers and they seem so happy to be there!! If i would be there my smile would be as big as Hagrid!!
Those motorcycles with sidecars are badass!!
So much fun!
So far you are the only ones that have posted a descent video of the Premier show. Great job. Did Rupert say anything at all?
Awesome! I think he just said hello when walking from the car to the stage. He didn’t say much. I also cut out a video message from the actor who plays Hagrid because it didn’t show up well from the screen.
Hope you like my video ua-cam.com/video/Nv-8bJODG34/v-deo.html
I agree with you. The forbidden journey is the best ride for Harry Potter. Thanks for the great video and information. ✌🏾👍🏾
Dang went from Disney land to the other side universal! Awesome
haha we are trying to cover it all!
Ordinary Adventures dang must be expensive. But glad to see . Hoping to see some Jurassic park
We will definitely be covering the new Jurassic World ride when it opens at Universal, Hollywood
Disney WORLD
So lucky
Whoa. Did you guys take a wrong turn at Smuggler’s Run? 😆
Ronald Pollock this is at Universal Studios Orlando not Disneyworld or Disneyland
Can’t wait to ride wish I was there for the grand opening but hoping the wait times are better when I go! Great video thanks for showing us! ❤️❤️
You will have a blast! Thanks for watching
Still going to say it. I miss Dueling Dragons.
This is better, as someone who also liked that coaster, trust me.
For the animated short showing how you board the ride, they should have used a different color than red. Red is not a good color to depict something to be “correct”
Looking back at this video compared to your new stuff is a HUGE difference in quality 😮
Haha don’t watch our early videos. We didn’t know what we were doing lol
Love the Harry Potter lands! I was a little skeptical this might be more for young kids, but your review changed my mind and can’t wait to ride!!! Thanks!!!
This ride is definitely for adults
It’s the best ride so far. Check my video ua-cam.com/video/Nv-8bJODG34/v-deo.html
I am curious regarding the potential for motion sickness. When Everest goes backwards I get a little motion sickness. Does it compare to that regarding motion sickness, or is it better or worse?. I feel that I HAVE to ride this when I go in December but am concerned about getting sick.
Kitra gets motion sick when moving backwards and still was able to enjoy the ride without motion sickness medicine but it did make her a little sick.
Can’t wait 4 Jurassic world!
I tried to ride it Saturday, but the safety bar wouldn't pull down enough. So Im gonna work hard to lose some weight then go back and enjoy the rides I couldn't

Massive beautiful buildings all around Peter: hey look at this rock
😂
Thanks for the coolest videos!!
Thanks for watching!
I am amazed you can ride Forbidden Journey with motion sickness. I've heard from the staff that they have to clean up because people have gotten sick on it.
I will not ride that again. For me that is a barf bag ride. But yes I agree Hagrids is absolutely amazing.
To be fair she’s only been on it this one time and hasn’t gone on it since but didn’t puke.
Can’t wait to ride this later on in the future!
Themed coasters. Cool.
How would you say this ride is for the Big and Tall/Plus size rider?
I am 270-275, 5’9’ and fit in the motorbike seat. Kitra had to push down on the bar once I was in the seat but I made it. The same thing happens for me on Forbidden Journey so I’m guessing if you can make it on that you can make it on this ride
@@OrdinaryAdventures Good advice, thanks!
Another channel had a man with 48 inch waist (he did not say weight), and tall. He fit in the motorcycle seat with minor problem and no discomfort
You guys are the best
That was really nice love the ride thanks
Is it scarier to ride on the motorbike or the side cart?
I think the sidecar
yea i keep up w universal updates from midway mayhem and they build rides and hotel in like 5 mins and disney take 6 years aha
I’m so exited I can’t wait to go on it your video was great
Thanks so much!
I wish I could have been there so bad did you get to meet them??
How's the backwards drop?
It’s alot of fun and fast
we need a ministry of magic, universal is getting really good making harry potter rides.
5 years later it's actually coming
Does the lap bar lock where you are at, or does it have to hit a specific locking point like the mummy? I just barely make it on the mummy, so wondering if I'll make it on this.
It’s more like forbidden journey
I see excitement here for the new motorbike ride. Cool. At another place they say the people are not showing excitement because of the summer heat. But both are taking place in the summer.
I think Harry Potter wins!
In comparison is the seating similar to any other rides at universal?
Yeah
Awesome video can't wait for you guys to try it at night and see your opinion on it
We got to do it at night late that evening and I like it even more in the dark!
@@OrdinaryAdventures awesome can't wait to try it
Guys can I ask u a question about the ride?
Sure
Ordinary Adventures thank you. I love your videos btw. Is the vertical drop “big” or “scary” cause I hate vertical drops.
I wouldn’t call it big but it is a little bit scary but mainly fun
Ordinary Adventures ok thank you sm
Best ride period.
It’s great. I think I like velocicoaster more
I want on it a week ago it’s so fun and it was a 25 minute wait
Awesome! We can’t wait to ride it again
I flew home on the day this opened, nice.
Next time!

@@OrdinaryAdventures My 13yo has never rode on roller coasters. Is this a starter ride or should I work up to it? Thanks for posting video :)
I’d say take them on the family coaster in Wizarding world first and go based on that reaction.
Anybody just rewatching all of there videos
Thanks for watching Marshall
How long did you wait to ride this ride?
We were at a press event and still waited a little longer than an hour.
I saw on the news this morning that lines are up to 5+ hours.
the fact theres no screens on the ride at all is so good for universal. gringotts was really.... yh
babyhols666 faaaaaaaaacts
Yes! I hate how all of the rides are turning into 3D rides.
I can’t wait 😊
Will u be able to film at all? Inside ride.
Filming on the ride itself is prohibited by the park. This video has footage of the entire queue and the ride from the queue.
It's cool you got to ride the new ride cool
Thanks for watching
@@OrdinaryAdventures welcome
Is it better than Forbidden Journey?? Like is the theming better?

Loved that part of the ride!
It's cool how fast the switch track is for this ride
Is there a hair tie collector spot on it yet like there is Everest? Lol
Hahah! I hope not
does the ride open when the park opens?
Opens tomorrow
Why can’t they have that ride in Hollywood?
Hollywood has house restrictions due to the residential neighborhood surrounding the studio which has prevented them from doing any big outdoor coasters
Ordinary Adventures Boooooooo
Wait so is this in California or no?
No Orlando in islands of adventure
is the EXPRESS PASS GOOD FOR THIS RIDE
There is no express lane currently for this ride unfortunately
@@OrdinaryAdventures WHEN WILL THEY HAVE ONE OPEN
Very nice vid.
Nice Editing!
🙏

depends on whether your dislike of rollercoaster arise from aversion to acceleration or disorientation.
@@yes.9731 did you end up going on it? 🙂
Great ride love it!
It’s so good
@@OrdinaryAdventures it was, i had a smile on my face the whole time
How many spiders are we seeing on this ride and when? 😂 I’ll be in universal in 4 days so I need to mentally prepare
I’m happy to report there are no spiders!
They are terrifying on the Castle ride. Lol
Thank god no spiders!!!!
That was amazing!
do you now if they are planning on removing hagrids hut from the hippogriff coaster ride now that they built this one? would be weird to have too. lo
I believe you are seeing the backside of the hut in this queue
Amazing I love Harry Potter
Me too
Is it plus size friendly
I’m 270 pounds 5’9 and I fit on it
Ordinary Adventures Ok thank you :)
Great video!
Thanks for watching
I’m going on September and I’m going to be crying when I get there 💗😭
to see the opening with the stars.
People waited 10 hours to go on this ride. Who does that?
Harry Potter fans
Muggles. A wizard would teleport to the beginning of the queue :)
Thank you!
Do you think an 8 year old would do ok on this?
Honestly I’m not prepared to predict how an 8 year old would do on this coaster. I will say it’s stronger than The incredicoaster or slinkydog
I’m praying for a POV somewhere
Universal has no photography or video signs everywhere. You basically have to put everything not in your pockets in a locker before riding. But I’m sure someone will eventually sneak a GoPro on. But this isn’t the sort of ride that you could even capture on video. The acceleration has to be experienced in person.
Ordinary Adventures Lol thanks
Ordinary Adventures I also have a question, do u get more airtime on the drop track section on this coaster or the drop on Escape from Gringotts?
I feel like it’s much more on this one
How many animatronics? Were they big?
I think 4-5
are there any snakes in the ride ??? because i’m terrified of them real and fake ahaha
No snakes!
Awesome
Reminds me of Jaguar at knotts berry farm
Home Sweet Home RAVEN CLAW
👍
