Guests visiting Universal Orlando can experience the magic of the Wizarding World in both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida features Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts while Hogsmeade next door at Islands of Adventure features Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and The Flight of the Hippogriff.
The two areas are connected together by the Hogwarts Express, which can be experienced by any Guest who possesses a Park-to-Park ticket.
Interestingly enough, though, TikTok user @thedavidvaughn recently shared a rumor about Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, located inside Hogwarts Castle.
Would you want to see the scarier version of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey?

According to the user, there was actually a “scarier version” of Forbidden Journey that featured even more animatronics and more effects. However, the ride was seemingly too intense for Guests and Universal eventually toned it down.
There has been no confirmation from Universal Orlando that this is the truth, but this is an interesting tidbit of information and something fun to think about!
The official description of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey reads:
Soar Above Hogwarts™ With Harry Potter™.
Enter through the towering castle gates and make your way down the familiar passageways and corridors of Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Then soar above the castle grounds as you join Harry Potter™ and his friends on a thrilling adventure. Groundbreaking, state-of-the-art technology (and a little magic) creates a one-of-a-kind ride.
