25 - Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
E-Ticket
Must be 48 in.
Guests join Rubeus Hagrid on a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, riding a bunch of enchanted motorbikes through the Forbidden Forest.

QUEUE:
Guests see a gate advertising the attraction in the center of Hogsmeade, located near Galdrag's Wizardwear. Here, they follow a passage through the forest, going behind Hagrid's Hut and up to some ruins. There, they go through Hagrid's workshop, where notes on several creatures are seen as well as large gloves. They then proceed into another area where Motorbike work is done, including some running over the top of the room. From there, guests enter the loading station and board either the bike or sidecar.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:
The ride starts by launching out of the ruins and through the forest. It starts off gently, but then it passes through a damaged cargo hut where Hagrid is fending off a Blast-Ended Skrewt. He dismisses the class, but then the bikes go out of control, speeding up as they leave the building. The vehicles pass by Fluffy the 3-headed dog before speeding up again, heading towards Weasley's flying Ford Anglia, which has been overtaken by Cornish Pixies. Then, as they go up a hill, they lose power and go backwards. Hagrid tries to help, but instead, he makes the bikes go faster.

The bikes then go to the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest, where they encounter a herd of centaurs. Then, they are caught in Devil's Snare. With Hagrid's help, they escape and drop down, but then the walls light up with the escaped Skrewts. The vehicles blast off at full speed to escape them. After slowing down, they encounter a unicorn and her baby. Hagrid asks the guests not to tell anyone at the castle about this as they return to the loading station.

POST-RIDE:
Guests take a passage back to Hogsmeade. There, they see photos taken of them on the ride.

They then move through the Herbology greenhouses before going into the castle, where they enter Dumblesore's office. There, they see him and learn why they are there. He has invited them to tour the place and receive a history lecture from Professor Binns. However, after leaving the room, guests enter the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, where Harry and his friends point out how boring Binns in and instead offer to take them to a Quidditch game happening that day. Guests then proceed into the Gryffindor Common room, where the house's Quidditch performance is revealed to be on top and safety spiels are given. They then enter the Room of Requirement, where they board their enchanted benches.

RIDE EXPERIENCE:
Hermione enchants the benches as they move and then sends them through Floo Powder to the Astronomy Tower. There, they encounter Ron and Harry, who are flying to the game.

Luckily, Harry shoos the Dementors away with a patronus and leads the guests out while the cave collapses.

He sends them back to the Room of Requirement, advising that they pick up their belongings so that Filch doesn't confiscate them.
