not a damn screen in sight. well done universal

Who else is here during quarantine pretending they are on the ride?

The girl screaming through the ride. She was having the time of her life.

this ride is absolutely INSANE. i was thinking it was going to be more of a kiddie ride but boy was i wrong. rode it twice in one day, nightime is definitely better!!

Me: Screaming my head off the whole ride Hagrid: ItS A uNicOrN

This is faster than it looks,I learned from experience.

Just got back from this park. This is genuinely one of the most fun rides I have ever been on.

This ride looked so much slower in the video, and when I was watching it happen to others in person. I was thinking, “oh the drops can’t even be that bad.” I hopped on that thing and upon speeding up I immediately realized how much I underestimated the ride. I went into the very front luckily, but up there when the ride begins to go backwards, it’s a lot worse than the video explains. And when your in the dark room, the video doesn’t show it but the track literally drops down a whole floor and onto another track. (Don’t get scared by this comment, I’m a pussy when it comes to rollercoasters and I had a great time on it and the worst part of the ride is the wait.)

Imagine in about 10 years or so when the trees have grown a lot taller... this ride will only get better with age!

These aren’t horrified screams. These are fangirling screams

I researched the engineering that went into this ride awhile ago and it is phenomenal. Some things were never really tried before and the timing of certain events are extremely crucial. If the timing is out on the ride anywhere then the whole ride shuts down automatically.

Riding this ride knowing Robbie Coltrane is no longer with us is going to be super emotional. R.I.P mate there's no Hogwarts without you Hagrid

nobody: me: waits in line for 13 hours just to ride a 3 minute ride

Hey nice to see a ride with no screens! Love the classic animatronics. Looks like a super fun ride.

That drop track was so unexpected, totally took my breath away. This ride is a masterpiece. I want to ride this again so bad.

I went on this and my dad tricked me into saying that this was a kids ride and when it dropped to the other track my soul left my body💀

I guess universal ran out of screens. Good. This is a great ride.

Forget the speed, it was the damn drop out of devil’s snare that got me!

I had the pleasure of riding this at night time and let me tell you that’s the best way to experience it! Really feels like you’re flying. Best ride at Uni. Hands down.

This might be the best roller coaster/theme park ride I’ve ever been on. The way it speeds up at some parts, The overall design and the theme itself just makes the ride so fun

*imagine going to a place where everyone likes Harry Potter as much as you do*

Coaster: moves 2 inches* People on the coaster :BWAHAAAAQJSGDKSVSXOBZ!!!

As someone who has a bad stomach for rollercoasters I can say this one is a keeper, the launches are fast but not fast enough to make my stomach hurt, the only part that really got my stomach feeling empty is the part where you go backwards and the track drop, other than that, this is my favorite coaster of all time.

This video had me smiling ear to ear the whole time. If that’s how it feels watching a video of it, I can’t imagine how thrilling it is in person.

Finally no more screens and some animatronic lines from universal 😭😭

Who tf is awake at 3 am just watching roller coaster rides😆

Honestly this doesn’t even get a glimpse of how fast it is

This coaster is truly magical! It feels like love for the franchise was poured into it. It’s fast, fun, and unique. Feels like your on a motorcycle. No cheesy screens or flashy lights. It’s animatronics and good storytelling. The backwards part and the little drop really surprised everyone. It has become my favorite coaster by far in any park and I’ve been going to the parks for years. Can’t wait to try it out at night! :D

Am I the only one who did not expect it to be fast and have a drop? (I am speaking from experience) Edit: Thanks for all of the likes!

Is anyone else afraid of going on big rollercoasters but absolutely addicted to watching them virtually?

As somebody who rode it 3 times in on my first ever trip to universal I’m telling you this is a MUST DO!! 10 out of 10 and would definitely do again and would recommend to all

Disney: releases slinky dog Universal: hold my butter beer

I waited almost two hours in line for this... and it was worth every single second. Wow, what a great ride.

Personally I was never a fan of rollercoasters , whenever I go to the theme park with my family I just carry all the stuff for my family , last September I was in Orlando and my sister forced me on this ride , the first part of the ride my life flashed by by the second half I started to enjoy it , I ended up going another time on this and once on the velocicoaster

RIP Robbie Coltrane

quarantine gang where y'all at

I love this ride because it’s intense, fast, and amazingly well themed, but it’s also still a borderline family coaster. my grandpa was even able to ride with us and he’s over 70!

Me, trying to hear hagrid: *some girl screaming while nothing is even happening*

I just got on this yesterday and it was the most amazing ride I've ever been on! I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but I always liked the movies. But after I saw this I now want to read the books.

I’m not the biggest fan of rollercoasters, but I’m pretty excited to ride this.

lol just realized at 0:03 somebody said “it hasn’t even started and it’s awesome” 😂😂😂

This hits differently now that he's passed away

Ride: slow down to crawling speed. Lady in the back: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! Smiling though this whole video! I cannot wait to ride it!

It’s honestly a shame how you can only ride this once a day because the wait line is always like 4 hours

This looks amazing. Harry Potter being the worlds greatest movie franchise has spawned so many great attractions like this. OUTSTANDING!

I went on it for the first time yesterday. It was still the Dueling Dragons when I went the last time. They were fun, but this ride is so much better. I agree with the comments that say it's much faster than it looks. It is intense but so much fun! I usually get anxious before getting on coasters, so if you feel the same way, I recommend that you just get on it because it's so worth it! ♡

This looks absolutely amazing..I love the minimalism of it in terms of track layout..just straight speed and nice soft curves for the most part.

Excellent footage!!! Crystal clear and steady as much that can be expected on a thrill ride. Very nice!

Fun Fact: Myself and my Wife road this back in March, and when it dropped, the ride got stuck for about 20 seconds. At one point we could hear the other car on the track above us. We legit thought it was going to drop on us and we were going to die. Thankfully, we didn't! Was still one of my favorite rides at the park, despite the moment of imminent death

This ride is insane. And that drop in the darkness 😂😂😂 i screamed like a baby.

you know the next Harry Potter ride should be the flying car from the chamber of secrets its one of my favorite Harry Potter movies and I think universal should do a ride on Ron’s car from the second movie

My opinion...best design for a combo outside / darkride. A new level of theming.

This comment is for those of you with really bad roller coaster anxiety! I have anxiety about riding any type of ride lol but I know that once I do it I will love it. The whole time I’m in line for this ride I’m freaking out because it is honestly much much faster than what it looks like in the video, but I promise you it is not bad! Im the type of person that feels like I’m about to pass out in line from being so scared and is freaking out like a baby the whole time lol. But the closer we got to the ride the more scared I got even though I know I’ll probably like it and want to ride it a million times in the end. I decide I might as well hop on because it can’t be too bad and boy and I glad I did!! It is super fast but honestly it only gives you the feeling in your stomach when you start speeding up but after that it’s just a smooth ride. There is a few little drops and they are not bad at all the feeling that I hate that I get in my stomach was barley there and when It started I was holding on to my seat the whole time but by the end my hands were holding the handles and it was so much more fun it felt like I was flying on an actual motorcycle. It does go backwards and drop and the drop is literally 3 feet I read in another comment. The drop feels like nothing and I think I got that feeling in my stomach for literally half a second and the backwards part is the best part I feel like. So if your nervous please listen to someone who is seriously petrified of roller coasters and will only ride smaller looking ones ( nothing like hulk, rip ride rocket, velocicoaster, etc) this ride is definitely a must!! Some comments on this post scared me because I always watch the ride while I’m in line and read the comments but it was not even as bad as they said and I’m thankful I found the kind comments like this one that helped me! This is now my favorite ride and I can’t wait to go back and ride it again!!!!

That drop was soo crazy I kept looking around too see what was gonna happen and then boom

was there today but was NOT standing in the line for 8-9 hours🤣

Friends: what are you doing to this quarantine Me: im riding hagrid motorbike

this is easily my FAVORITE roller coaster. i can’t count how many times i watched this video when hagrid’s ride came out not know how soon i’d be experiencing it for myself (in 2021). even with the many times i’ve watched this video hagrid’s ride was still a great surprise.

Just need a nightime pov, it would probably look more amazing

I was surprised at how FAST this ride is. The videos don’t do it justice lol I got lucky and I hopped on the line after it had been closed for a thunderstorm and walked right on to the single rider line. 10 minute wait if even! But if I had to wait , it would have definitely been worth it!

A+++ ride,it’s long,adventurous,scary and fun, and the way rides should be like…

Went on this for the first time last weekend. Honestly, it was fantastic. I didn't research the ride, watch videos, or anything, so the entire ride was a complete surprise from beginning to end. The video doesn't do it justice and looks super slow on camera, but once you get going, you get zooted fast! I rode the motorbike side and it really was like riding a bike, holding onto the handles the whole time. Going backward and the drop was completely unexpected, but it was A FREAKING BLAST!

Just rode this Friday night... it was the best roller coaster I have ever been on!! I am not a big coaster person AT ALL and this was so doable. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! The video doesn't even do it much justice! When you're on it you are going at an insane speed!

The unpredictable turns and the zooms... When you’re on the motorcycle at times it felt as if you’re gonna damn near slip off 😭 I was holding on to dear life on those handles

Luckily we don't have to wait 10 hours to watch this video. Thanks!

The very back on the motorbike (not the sidecar) is a beautiful experience and i love riding there again and again

I'm not into Harry Potter, but I brought my best friend, who is obsessed with it, to Universal Studios as a surprise. We really enjoyed Harid's.

Omg this honestly made me cry. I’m from Ireland and I went to Florida about 4 months ago, and I’m obsessed with Harry Potter so I couldn’t wait for universal studios. Hagrids ride was honestly my favourite and it’s so good. It’s so much better at night time tho, everything is lit up and it’s so beautiful. I also cried coming off the ride, it was so amazing, I could spend hours on it and not get bored. I loved the whole Harry Potter world in America, it was the experience of a lifetime and I will never forget it ❤️

Rode this three times this week, it's a LOT more intense than any video makes it out to be. Those launch sections are super forceful!

Never watched a Harry Potter movie ever, had no clue what this coaster was, and fully expected it to suck. Boy was I wrong. It was a blast and had some surprises I definitely wasn't anticipating.

This ride was amazing! I went it on it about 7 times in a row when I was at universal last year (before Covid) since it was at night and most people had already left the park. So much fun!

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! MY MOUTH DROPPED. THE THEMING IS PHENOMENAL. New Subscriber btw

the ride would be amazing on its own anyway BUT when you know all of the creatures and the features in the layout it would make it 100x better

Certainly not the scariest ride I’ve ever been on but definitely one of the funnest. Ignore anyone who says this ride is “insane” cause it’s not. Velociraptor is insane, Hulk is partially insane but this ride is pure fun. And the drop that everyone makes reference to, it’s over before you can even open your mouth to yell. Go on the ride and have a blast!!!

I rode it for the first time this year and at night! It's way better at night, gives you the feel of being in the forbidden forest. This had to be my favorite ride!

I would be the person who would just scream “LUMOS MAXIMA” on the ride at the devils snare part

Nobody: Hagrid: A UNicoRn

I waited 2 hours for this because my aunt really wanted to and I thought it was gonna be a ride that just went on circles but I really loved it and the drop was so unexpected, I was also scared though because people in line were talking about how they loved it so I knew something unexpected would be in it

I LOVE THIS. I have eye problems that make me sick at 3D screen attractions that you wear glasses for, so the animatronics are so great!!!

just wow. i cannot wait to experience this ride!

I went in it when it was raining a lot. Best feeling ever.

Dude it actually looks so sick... Way better than I was expecting. I didn't go on it, cause the line was too long, and I thought it was just a lil roller coaster... but this looks actually beautiful, the whole ride is a piece of art.

The main reason why this ride takes a long time to wait in line is the fact that it goes backwards for “awhile” on the track so the next riders have to give the cart in front of them so time so they don’t run into them

I miss this kind of energy , all the excitement, all the screams, all the heart drops, the whole atmosphere at a theme park is just so amazing :((((

I rode this over the summer and it was a lot of fun, and being around people who are nerds about this just as much as you is really weirdly comforting

This ride is very similar to Mount Everest, at Disney World.

Wow... Just wow... Incredible animatronics and theming! Such a good POV too!

My sister and I recently went on the ride (front row) and it is a lot faster than it looks in the video. We also stopped right before we went up a hill for a drop and were sat there for a minute before it suddenly took off again. The ride does have a few bugs (we stopped about 3 times) but it is new so there’s bound to be bugs. I’d give the ride a 9/10 as I would have loved to see creatures as you were zooming past the forest.

Universal has such cool coasters! The theming on this one is just fantastic!

This ride was incredible! You actually sit on Hagrid's motorcycle while you ride it. Going through the ruins of the cathedral was such an clever design feature. When I rode it, the ride got stuck before the sudden drop-down in the forbidden forest, getting stuck in the dark in the creepiest part actually added to the experience! 😂

4 things amaze me - 1: That they had the land to build such an expansive track layout 2: That they managed to keep uninterrupted sightlines for pretty much the entire ride 3: That this not only has EXTREMELY impressive theming, but also a reverse track switch AND a drop feature?! 4: Rainbow-anus farting scorpion thing.

OMG I got teary eye! when I saw Hagrid! Thank you for uploading this video! xoxo

this ride is awesome! road it for the first time today and it malfunctioned a little bit, leaving us stuck in the dark forest after the big drop with the lights off for a while😅 they gave us a chance to ride it again right after it for our troubles 😊

so I went on this recently and my gf and I were luck enough to get front row and let me tell you this ride was so fun. I love the mini speed boosts that happen over and over again.

And from what I saw: no bloody spiders for once. Excellent. 😂

You did such a good job filming! Thank you so much for letting me experience this ride through you :)

Was lucky enough to ride in the front bike of Hagrids and I can honestly say this is the best ride experience I have ever had on any rollercoaster I have been on. And I've been on a LOT of coasters (theme parks and coasters are my passion). This ride was completely brilliant, the speed, the track, the motor bike "cars" and being in the very front with an unobstructed view....I can't wait to go on it again.

man i can’t stop watching this it’s so nostalgic for me because i grew up watching harry potter and since covid messed everything up i couldn’t go their for quite a while it’s just made it even more nostalgic. Whenever i think of this ride i think of me going on it having so much fun. Is that just me?

really like that they didn't use lifthills, adds to the illusion of a motorcycle ride!
