A gentle, family-friendly roller coaster inspired by the magical world of Harry Potter, this ride lets you experience what it’s like to soar on a Hippogriff – a majestic creature with the head of an eagle and the body of a horse. The track winds gracefully around Hagrid’s pumpkin patch before dipping towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Along the way, you’ll glide past Hagrid’s Hut and catch a glimpse of Buckbeak, the noble Hippogriff himself. It’s a charming introduction to roller coasters, combining light thrills with immersive storytelling that younger riders and fans of the series will especially enjoy.
- A great kiddie coaster with detailed theming and one stunning animatronic hippogriff

- One of the 'tamer' coasters here, but it's still a blast! If you're not so much into hanging upside down, this is the ride for you
