According to Universal Orlando, more details on the new attraction will be revealed in March.
In October 2018, Pottermore shared a first look at the new attraction with the following artwork:
This new ride takes the place of Dragon Challenge, which closed in September 2017. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure joins other popular Wizarding World attractions including Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts.
Inside the Magic came pretty close to predicting this ride back in the summer of 2017, which you can see from our first prediction here in 10 “Harry Potter” Rides We’d Like to See at Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World to replace Dragon Challenge.
