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

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.

You don't need a harness on inversions, as you as literally pushed into your seat, only ejector hills and extreme banks give the feeling of being "launched" from a coaster. I love the open-ness of the new restraints on inverting rides.

Rode this ride several times while there in early March 2021. 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! We were underway again in about 30 seconds or so. Thanks for another great video!

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 had to watch this video because I was so confused and intrigued on how the drop worked. I literally was not expecting that at all and I was so confused how a piece of track could drop to another track! It was phenomenal!!

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

Wow! I love learning about the technology behind the rides! That drop track is the coolest thing I've ever seen and I never noticed it on any of the videos about actual rider experience. I hope to return to Universal Studios someday soon so I can experience this ride first hand. My first and only visit to Universal was during the building of the new park section, so we just a few months too early to ride this ride.

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!

This was extremely informative and I personally knew how this ride worked but I think you explained it very well. Now I need to show/send it to my “GP” friends. I’m such a nerd when it comes to amusement parks,roller coasters,thrill rides etc. etc.

Thank you. Yeah, that's kinda who these videos are for, for the general public who aren't coaster enthusiasts. So they can get a better understanding of how it work and not say there's a battery and the train moves on its own, etc.

The MOST BRILLIANT addition these parks EVER made was to include ADDITIONAL forms of 'entertainment' for the customers while they wait in line! Just the simple inclusion of a few video monitors showing actors performing cheap skits related to the attraction can make the wait in line an enjoyable event itself ;)

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.

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.

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.
