Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a multi launch coaster located at Universal's Islands of Adventure that opened June 13th, 2019. It replaced a pair of Bolliger & Mabillard dueling inverted coasters named Dueling Dragons. The ride costed a staggering $300M (likely inclusive of Dueling Dragons demo) and features a plethora of technology whilst straying from the norm of screen based rides. But how does Hagrid's magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure work? Let's find out!

More info about Hagrid's: -The preshow with Hagrid and Arthur Weasley actually has 2 projections; one on the transparent screen and another on the back wall for added depth -the vehicles do not keep track of which RFID tag is used to dispatch a vehicle. The platform is monitored by HD cameras and if an incident were to occur, those cameras would be used to determine who dispatched a vehicle. -The speed of the moving walkway and the vehicles in the station can be slowed to allow guests with limited mobility to board safely. This does not affect the rest of the ride unless the platform is kept at the slower speed for an extended period of time, at which point vehicles will back up to the final launch. -In addition to the bus bars in the station, there is also a short section on each drop track to charge the vehicles while they're parked there. -The blast ended skrewt and Hagrid figures were built by a company called Animax Designs. The unicorns were made by Life Formations -The drop tracks are hydraulic, not pneumatic, and do not need to actively home into position at the bottom of the drop. They are slowed at the bottom of their descent by induction currents between permanent magnets and copper plates on the track and its supports. There are pneumatic shock absorbers that slow the track down the last few feet, and when these shocks bottom out, the track is already lined up and ready to dispatch. -If a vehicle is approaching the end of its block and the next block is not clear yet, the vehicle will actually slow down to give the next block more time to clear. It will only stop if it gets to the very end of its current block and the next block still hasn't cleared yet. Source: I worked at Hagrid's during construction and opening

@LogicalBeatss 9 месяцев назад

13:35 For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy. At the end of the block zone is a method to stop the train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another.

As the video stated at the start it is an incredibly well rounded ride. You have the perfect amount of thrills thanks to the rides speed, sharp turns, backwards track and a small dark drop, as well as a fantastic immersive and entertaining experience with the robotics, environment, the cart/motorbike itself and hagrids voice constantly talking to you via the speakers. I really hope universal add more rolelrcoasters like this that anyone can enjoy. 10/10.

When we arrived in Devil's Snare and the train dropped, the ride shut down for about 30 seconds which freaked everyone out because we could hear a train moving close to the area we were in and we were all very hopeful that master control was operating like it should; and thankfully, it was!

@smolsand 4 года назад

I got to ride it 3 times on the day I went due to a handicap pass. It was still slow with the pass but unbelievably worth it. Hands down the best ride I have ever ridden. I also felt like sections of the ride queue were worryingly claustrophobic. It would be difficult to get out during an emergency as the tunnel sections without emergency exits was long. The only other thing I didn't like was the sound in the preshow room being insanely loud. May gusts had their hands over their ears. After a long time in that room, it can get a bit redundant hearing the same preshow over and over. This was during the 3rd week after it opened so, I would like to say they were still working some stuff out. People were watching entire 2hr movies on their phones in the regular queue which is insane.

I remember watching this video after doing the ride for the first time last year and being blown away, and I've just come back to watch this after doing the ride a year later, after feeling disappointed in Universal for not keeping everything working that makes this ride so unique and amazing. It's so frustrating and makes me sad for people who haven't had chance to experience it in the full glory! I've been doing it on and off for the past few weeks, and not once has the Skrewt farted smoke for example. Surely it can't be that hard to fix this! Really annoys me that people don't care for the finer details. It should be kept to be at the standard the original creators intended. It's a slippery slope if you start to let these details go (as shown on other, older Universal rides!)

That drop track would make me drop something myself.

bruh I was not expecting that at all. it only felt like it was 5 feet not 17. I freaked out at that part

@ErinCasey3 3 года назад

You absolutely CAN feel it. It’s pitch black and it’s literally the only time you stop, then all of a sudden WAM you fall. It’s quick and it’s fun. I had watched a POV, so I knew it was coming. My friend had NO idea and she literally screamed at the drop. I was laughing so hard at her reaction.

@Michele that’s good to know bc I’m really scared of drops so I’m glad that you actually don’t really feel it!!! Not sure about the backwards drop yet bc of the drop but I think it won’t be bad bc it didn’t look like they went that far up and back so I’ll probably just close my eyes and scream lol

Thanks so much for making this! I've been trying to google how this ride works for the past few days after riding it but couldn't find anything!

Great! Glad you liked it! 😁

Wow. Will certainly have to ride this when I go out there. Thanks

great video! (waited until after I rode it before I watched)

I rode this for the first time on grad venture last week and i luckily got first row single rider!! It was awesome and i felt like i was flying!!

@AdamSVwc 3 года назад

Very nice video! I always wondered what all the stuff that you described was that is placed on modern roller coaster tracks. Keep up the good work. Hard to fathom the brainiacs that are able to design these types of things

@Braves246x 4 года назад

This was fascinating! Thank you for sharing this!

@karebear3152 4 года назад

IT HAS A DROP??!?!!?! I knew about the rest of it, but OMG you definitely have my attention now lol. I really hope I can get on this during my trip to Orlando late next year. Thanks for this video! It was very informative and educational.

It has a 17 feet drop and I wasn’t expecting it I thought there was something wrong on the system and we will fall to our death or get injury, really fun

Thanks. It's a one man show here so comments like your's mean a lot. 🙂

@edrcozonoking Год назад

Definitely one of my favorite roller coasters. It has a great mix of everything.

@alangfp 4 года назад

Sooooo awesome!! And you did a great job explaining it 😍🥰

@evolutionbath6100 Год назад

I enjoyed this ride. I was not blown away by it. And maybe it was because I was sour for the fact that it took more than two hours to get through the line. I love how the narrator of this video talks about how many trains they are running but they were doing that on my day.

@kathleenoman726 4 года назад

Learned a lot. Thanks for posting.

@lisemarielichtermann7626 3 года назад

Wow! That's all I can say😮😃I have a son who is studying electrical engineering, he would love to watch this. The ride is one I'll have to get on for sure. It gives you an appreciation for the building of the ride. Thanks so much for this explanation.

@AmusementLabs 3 года назад

Happy to entertain future engineers! 🙂 (If he's really into EE then maybe an Arduino kit would be a great fit for him, I know they were for me)

@courthebrave 3 года назад

This video is so interesting! I never knew any of this info about roller coasters. I feel a little more safe riding them now ☺️

@ElyandMeg 3 года назад

Literally my favorite ride in all of the Universal Studio parks

@cdredstone Год назад

I love this ride. The launches are really cool, (Even though the ride makes unsettling noises during the longer launches)and I liked the unique ride cars. The drop track at the cave part is my favorite.

The first time I rode this, I was with a group of people and we were celebrating my friend’s aunt who was visiting for her birthday. One of the people in our group had an assistance pass (like Disney’s DAS) and booked it for us, then after we rode it he decided we definitely needed to ride again and booked it a second time. While we were in line the second time, my friend’s aunt was chatting with some of the team members and generally charming the pants off of them, and they noticed her birthday button and said we could ride twice if we wanted. So we got off the second time and were brought back around to ride a third time. Basically, I went from never having ridden this ride to riding it three times in one day. And it has the potential to be very different each time depending on where you sit (front or back, bike or sidecar). It was so fun. I get why it pulls such insane wait times!

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

I was on line for 90+ minutes in rain and beating sun but it was so worth it

@ktburger659 2 месяца назад

A masterpiece of a ride! We rode it for the first time at night! Highly recommended

@devanman7920 3 года назад

I'd imagine its a very fun coaster as you're not locked into a big seat like most coasters. It feel more open and like your riding and actual crazy bike.

@consolegamer7158 Год назад

This is one of the best coasters I have ever been on honestly wish I had done it again

@jaredthelifeguard9865 3 года назад

Wow. That drop track looks amazing! I can feel the butterflies in my stomach from home.

@AmusementLabs 3 года назад

And the whole assembly is super heavy so you really feel it.

@harryscorah2091 3 года назад

Great video! I’m a big fan of intamin rides and would love to visit universal. I’ve been on 13 at Alton Towers many times, and if the reverse of travel direction and drop work as well on this then riders are in for a treat!
