The coaster also features the world’s first seven launches, meaning you’re propelled forward by the ride itself (and not just gravity) seven times.The attraction takes up seven acres and is a mile in length, with the coaster reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour and boasting a freefall of over 16 feet.Image via Universal Orlando Resort A pre-show experience finds actors Coltrane and Mark Williams reprising their roles as Hagrid and Arthur Weasley, respectively, from the Harry Potter films. At 7 feet 6 inches tall, he’s the exact proportion of Hagrid in the books. He was created and designed by using a digital scan of actor Robbie Coltrane and features an extensive motion profile of 24 different body movements and facial expressions. You’ll also encounter Hagrid himself on the ride, who marks the Universal creative team’s most life-like animated figure yet.Hagrid created these creatures by crossbreeding Fire Crabs and Manticores, and they blow out actual fire from their “blasting ends.” The Blast-Ended Skrewt is a creature that has not yet been brought to life onscreen and first made an appearance in the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.Throughout the ride, you’ll encounter Fluffy, a Centaur, Cornish pixies, Devil’s Snare, and a Blast-Ended Skrewt, all brought to life via terrific practical effects and animatronics.Both the motorbike and sidecar are outfitted with speakers, so throughout the coaster’s twists, turns, and surprises, Hagrid speaks to you as his student and original music amplifies the intensity.
The motorbike is higher up and allows you to stretch your arms, while the sidecar is lower to the ground.
