There’s much more to a theme park ride than just the ride itself. From the entrance to the queue to the preshow, every part of the experience needs to fit alongside each other, snapping into place like pieces of a puzzle.
Eventually the queue winds its way to a preshow room. Here Arthur Weasley and Hagrid himself explain the ride’s story, which involves a field trip of sorts for Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures class, with Weasley casting a spell to make a motorcycle with a sidecar not just fly, but stretch out like a train so it can carry every rider.
That ride vehicle is unique for a roller coaster, with the motorcycle having a higher seat that you sit on like a bike, and the sidecar having a lower vantage point and a more traditional seating style. This leads to two slightly different ride experiences; you’ll be able to see everything of interest from either seat, but the motorcycle might give a slightly better view, and whoever’s in the motorcycle seat also gets to take part in a small bit of interaction near the end of the ride.
Those intense thrills limit who can ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, unfortunately. With a 48” height minimum, a wide swath of younger Potter fans will be out of luck. And Hagrid himself wouldn’t be able to ride his own roller coaster, as this is another one of Universal’s rides that can’t handle larger or taller guests. A test car should be available outside the entrance; if you’re at all worried that you might not be able to fit, definitely use that before getting in line.
