Flight of the Hippogriff ride POV with Hippogriff animatronic at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

[@MissUdenGoofed]

They should have The Night Bus ride

[@stephenreed7283]

Sarah Nicole well, it's NEVER gonna be better than the real Knight bus.

[@cagunder]

AnimeLover 164 such a muggle thing to say 😉

[@maddiemineo6765]

Sarah Nicole yes I agree!!

[@marcomotroni]

I know this doesn't really count, but you can see the Knight Bus outside of the window on the Harry Potter Train, and there is a live interaction event in which you can talk to the conductor and the head

[@baldtherockgemstone5869]

She never said anything about being a fan idiot!

[@MidnightSonnet]

Aww, what a cute little ride. :) I'd probably go on this as a nice break from the bigger rides. Nice and relaxing.

[@tessakimberly8138]

Wait till u get the head pressure during the drop😂

[@MidnightSonnet]

@@tessakimberly8138 Oh, I love drops like that! :D When I was a kid, I hated free fall rides. Scared the hell out of me. Now I just view them as thrilling.

[@cursman1289]

Now ur just making me seem like a wimp, I went on it and was screaming the whole time, hated it

[@MidnightSonnet]

@@cursman1289 dude, everyone is different. Coasters aren't for everyone. My fiance can't handle them, which is fine. I have a fear of falling, so I'll never parachute from a plane. Does that make me a wimp? In my mind, no. But to others, I am. Point is, "wimp" is subjective. I don't think you're a wimp. Do whatever makes you comfortable. Don't let people guilt trip you into feeling like you're less of a person for being fearful on a rollercoaster.

[@JayeMallard619]

Our party of four adults were at Disney and Universal Studios in Florida the first two weeks of August. I suggested half jokingly that we all should go on this ride, and to my surprise everybody was game, even though we expected the line to be all children.. Well, not only do many teens and adults ride it, but the ride is actually a lot of fun and more thrilling than I had expected it to be. I'm very happy we decided to try it. I had no room for my legs whatsoever though, but hey, it only lasts 30 seconds.. ;)

[@psyche5893]

I went on it last year as a break from all the bigger coaster and dark rides, and it was actually pretty good for a junior coaster. It’s short as hell though, it felt like 30 seconds.

[@amielawson9130]

That is like the shortest ride ever.

[@alisongold9448]

It's a kiddie coaster

[@NightmareRBXhitherefren]

more like best ride ever

[@ALYNETHECOLLECTIVE]

Amie Lawson actually woody woodpecker is the shortest ride ever.

[@yourfavoritestang]

Nice video. Really enjoyed watching. Yeah its one of the worlds shortest rides but hey its still a ride in Harry Potter. Looks really good to ride so this ride will be on my to ride list. So yeah thanks for this video and footage. 😎😆🖒

[@anngable6232]

Avoid the Forbidden Journey next to it. Baddddd ride.

[@CosplayCore]

Thank you for giving Beaky some screen time here! :') I've seen people completely ignore him and I just couldn't STAND that. When I went on that ride, since I don't like coasters, I ONLY rode it just to get up close to Buckbeak.

[@OreoBunny123]

This looks great! Seems just my style! Goes up high and comes down with a swoosh, without a big drop that brings a wierd feeling to my stomach, which I detest. I just finished the first book and I'm in love with it. I hope I'll get to go here before I get really old!

[@justaregularuser79]

This will always be the Flying Unicorn in my heart.

[@TheDevilHydraProdsXXII]

candiigurl7893 mine too, same with dueling dragons

[@borucandcelik]

@xXAllieisFTWxX I skipped a bit to try and get to the pov but it went straight to the zoomed in bit of the hipogriff

[@nat-qw8wu]

It was very short but also very fun! I went to Universal last weekend and I rode this like six times. Now I really want to go back and ride it 10,000 more times! 😭😭😭

[@alysonpersaud8776]

There are nets to hold your legs in "place", but there are large gaps in between the front piece of the cart and the back. Basically, the gaps are on the sides so if you are a smaller person......trust me, your legs will be terrified.

[@Selina_Nerdville]

Alyson Persaud this was exactly my terror - it may be a tiny ride but that gap when the ride is turning builds the tension and was the reason for my screams haha! 😂

[@trash3347]

The scariest part about this ride for me was how little barriers and protection there were; it actually added to the spee

[@AdamDampOwlPowell]

@AndyKaufmanFan Well, look at it this way: Britain is a cold country (I should know, I'm Irish and I have been to England a few times) so a park with mainly out-door rides is better off in a dry, warm place, like Florida. Besides, it's more convenient since Florida is already home to several other tourist attractions.

[@neonfiona]

@marsbar310 Yeah, but there were a few days of opening before it. It was only if you got a special package thing that were only available for a few days (and no doubt a lot more expensive).

[@vanhammersley]

Rode this for the first time recently. Have always been skittish (i.e. scared!) about roller coasters, but gave this a shot after warming up on the Woody Woodpecker Nut Coaster a few times! From someone that's not a coaster person, it was a trip, had a blast, and I'd ride it again in a heartbeat. Definitely recommend for those that might be a little afraid of traditional/larger coasters, or want to get their feet wet with coaster rides, and work their way up. It's short, pretty cramped (for an adult), fast, but not too high. Our wait was a bit long, but worth it.

[@emmadubrinsky9227]

i am such a wimp when it comes to roller coasters but we r in universal and i am now thinking about riding this ride thank u!!

[@Mister_H]

Went on it last week and considering its a kiddie coaster its rough as heck and the brake at the end is so violent!

[@Jenny-gq7kz]

they fixed it i went in july

[@maribethmichelle]

@whimsical1992 umm...definitely like september...when all the tourists are leaving lol...i live here like 25 mins away.

[@coastermania17]

@tscat68 that's why they have the dragon challenge ride. this is classified as more of a kiddie coaster

[@abiruca]

All I see from that warning sign is "Warning: Failure." XD

[@itaetaelove]

minecraft pic is cool

[@maryakhan1111]

Hehehhehehehe... minecraft!!!!!!

[@lainereking2566]

I almost passed out on this ride for the first turn LMAO

[@cliezi]

YO SAME

[@Hakuoro917]

@MrPollitogatito Chain lifts cost more than friction wheel lifts. The only reason Dragons challenge has a chain lift is so they can time them properly.

[@weebler1981]

Love the video...best one I have seen. Looks like I can go on it....cant ride rollercosters so this looks pretty good.

[@LeonorGrave]

@janandaa Yeah, there was artificial snow on all the roofts because it's supposed to be like Hogsmeade, you couldn't go inside of Hagrid's hut, it's just decorative and the castle is like 15 stories tall, is huge and magnificent, you can see from all over Universal Studios. You can't go in the towers, but you can see inside the castle while you wait in line for the simulator ride inside.There's the Defence Against the Dark Arts Room,the Gryffindor Common Room,Dumbledore's office... it's amazing!

[@JuniorModder]

Me when I was riding it: WTF I DIDN'T HARRY POTTER HAD DEMENTED DINOSAURS

[@kenshin9022]

its usually a camera that is strapped into a hat or onto your wrist. There is no way for it to fall. HD video cameras are so small now that its easy to carry one anywhere.

I have been on it and i am like you i am not big with rollercosters but i rode it 2 times when i went last christmas and it was soooo fun you will love it dont worry bout it!

[@piggyoinkoink6352]

A hippogriff is a person who points out the flaws of others while ignoring his own.

[@sparkybraincell2159]

I went to Universal Studios today, but we didn't have time to ride this. The only rides we did do was Forbidden Journey, Hogwarts Train, and Escape from Gringotts.

[@lankman2010]

we are off to florida in september & the harry potter world is number 1 for the kids, we were there a few years ago and remember the ride as the flying unicorn , it is very similr to thunder mountain at magic kingdom

[@klondal]

@msihavebieberfever if you love crazy rides you should go to cedar point in sandusky ohio, it has one coaster called the top thrill dragster that goes 120 mph in under 4 seconds and it goes over 400 feet staright up and then staright down. theres also a ride called the maverick that has a 95 degree angle drop

[@lucycorrigan7937]

when I went on it for the 1st time I hit my back on the seat. its so thrilling when you ride it for the first time, also that was my first track rollercoaster, my parents wouldn't allow me on rollercoasters until they thought I was ready

[@MandaTifa]

Hurray for wicker hippogriffs!!! Loved this ride....but then I love kiddie coasters anyway. :D

[@youtub3magic]

i was there when they were building this...cant wait to go back and ride it

[@Green182Gamer]

@janandaa I may be late, but here are my answers: The snow is there to anger the people who come during summer. It IS a pity you can't go in Hagrid's hut. I don't think the tower is for anything but decor.

[@TheLittleWolf100492]

@xxfaultxx Its just a little kid's ride. The wait is generally not that long, and if you're a thrill seeker, go to Dragon Challenge. I ride for credits :)

[@kewlkat8208]

When the guy says "Thank you for riding," I just had to say Thank you for riding Hippogriff Air.

Ive been to universal twice!! and im going next year on my third visit!! i cant wait to visit harry potter!!!!!

[@user-pv8tw3ys4n]

this is pretty much the dragon from legoland

[@Johncarson9113]

@ErinsChannel01 Well if you have a normal summer job youll have enough to go in no time. I mean your biggest worry here is the Flight to Florida if its international, if its national its about $200-$500 roundtrip non stop depending on the season. Hotels are cheap, Holiday Inns or Ramadas are like $60-$80 a night and the park is about $65-$75 the entrance. If you find good deals all you need is $500- $600 for 4 days 3 nights. I went for 2 days and all I brought with me was $300, but I drove. =)

[@Shanoon8]

I might be going to Flordia to come here :D !! I hate rollar coasters but I think I'll ride this.

[@danradz4me]

@Kaykrisify they got these small rides for the little children, they have em in all theme parks, cause some ride kids cant go on

What time of the year would you guys think would be the best time to go? My friend and I want to go next year sometime after we save up enough money. When would the crowds be smaller? In the winter maybe?

Hagrid is a cool character - I'm glad he has a ride.

@ErinsChannel01 yes, i ate lunch so food wasn't an issue but we were ALL SOOO TIRED and our FEET HURT SOOO MUCH!! i wasn't even supposed to go and i actually went on that day because i was supposed to leave orlando on sunday june 13 but i couldn't because of the spirit airlines strike i had to leave on saturday the 19 so i got to go exactly the day it opened the day before i left. how lucky is that!!?
