Harry Potter Theme Park Attractions

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.


The flagship attraction/ride of the Theme park. Built in the 150 foot tall Hogwarts Castle the ride will feature the revolutionary KUKA Arm technology. The rider will be tossed and turned in all possible directions along with the video track of Harry Potter Adventures.
The name was given by the books writer and inventor J.K Rowling. It promises to be a far better version of the "Sum of all thrills" attraction in Epcot Center Orlando, Florida.
Flight of the Hippogriff.
This ride described as a family-orientated ride that replicates a Hippogriff - the half-horse, half-eagle beast from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - training flight over Hogwarts castle.
Dragon Challenge.
Is a twin speed Roller Coaster that will feature elements from the fourth book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", where Harry Potter had to fight the Dragon in order to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
Hogwarts Castle.
Standing 150 feet tall, the castle will appear to tower some 600 feet up due to architectural tricks the parks creators have put in place. The castle will have classrooms, the iconic "Secret Room", Dumbledor's office along with the portraits of past headmaster, Gryffindor quarters, and many many more landmarks from the series.
"Harry Potter continues to spark the imaginations of fans of all ages and we really have seen the anticipation continue to build for The Wizarding World," said Brad Globe, President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
Hogsmeade village.
The iconic village that we, as readers, read about in the third year in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will feature the "Hog's Head" Pub, where Fire-Whiskey, pumpkin juice and butter beer will be offered, along with "traditional British food fare".
The Hogwarts Express will take you to the Hogsmeade train station where your Wizarding World Adventure will begin.
Ollivander's magic wand shop.
If you always wanted to be chosen by a wand, here is your chance. When you visit Ollivander's wand shop, you will be able to get yourself a magic wand.
The wands are made in different sizes, of various types of wood, and will vary in weight. Each wand will have a different sensor that will react differently to each person's hand, thus "choosing" its owner. We are very excited about this store as it promises to be so much fun.
The Forbidden Forest.
This is the most mysterious part of the park. We don't know where exactly it will be located, but Universal Studios® certainly has plans to develop it. The Forbidden Forrest is an important venue from the adventures of Harry Potter featured in the book series. It is full of magical creatures such as centaurs, unicorns and spider-like "acromantulas" introduced to us in the first book in the series "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
