For the first time, non-magical guests can step aboard the famous Hogwarts Express. This beautifully recreated steam train carries passengers between Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida and the snowy village of Hogsmeade in Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Rather than travelling through London itself, the journey is a themed experience inspired by the wizarding world, complete with immersive sights and sounds along the way. The Hogwarts Express serves as a unique transport link between the two parks, and a valid park-to-park ticket is required to ride.
- It really brought the books and movies to life.
- I was amazed how in depth this ride was. From the startling views of the London Underground and Station 9 ¾ to your arrival at Hogwarts (and vice versa) to the open fog filled fields of England you can see it all.
- This was such a magical ride, and a fun way to get back and forth between the two parks.
Tips & Facts
- The Hogwarts Express takes you on two very different journeys, so this is one ride that you’ll definitely want to board twice.
- You must have a two-park ticket to ride The Hogwarts Express. This is because the train travels to Hogsmeade in Universal’s Islands of Adventure. There are ticket booths to upgrade your one-park pass at the station entrance if you need to.
