Credit: Universal Orlando Resort The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is the biggest in the world, with two lands – Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure) and Diagon Alley (Universal Studios Florida) – connected by the Hogwarts Express. Sip a butterbeer before heading into Hogwarts Castle, or learn to cast a spell at Ollivanders!
The land’s newest attraction, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, just reopened following a scheduled refurbishment. But according to one Guest, the maintenance didn’t bring the expected improvements.
“Hagrids had a posted 95 minute wait… We thought ‘better now than never‘ and hopped in the queue,” Reddit user u/popcorn7825 wrote of the rollercoaster on Tuesday. “It took us a total of THREE hours! Do not expect Hagrids to be running 100% now because of the recent maintenance.”
In a comment on their post, the Guest further explained their experience. “I think it might be just some problems they were facing. The queue would move one train per like 20 minutes.”
Universal Orlando Resort hasn’t commented on any issues with Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure.
