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

[MrGabe305]

wait is it the same as the unicorn, just different name and decorations or is there something actually  different?

[lollastarbratz]

How fast does this ride go? Coz im freaking afraid just watching this (Dont call me a baby, i just really hate rollercoasters!) And how high is it (Im scared of heights too!)

[MHcleorules]

huh!you didn't bow to buckbeak you sick bastard. jk.

[Jman15003]

@poohtimmy1 thats what I thought when I rode it

[Jman15003]

@pootimmy1 thats what I said

[Laiila199]

buckhear passion!!

[hughlingard]

I shan't bow down to the Hippogriff.

[brucieclasper09]

I can remember when this was the unicorn coaster

[cedine1]

I remember my first roller coaster ride too.

[ShinobiSasukeUchiha]

why are the people waving and not 'bowing'?

[janandaa]

Does someone noticed that there was artifically snow on the roofs? .. Why? :D

Pity that you can´t go inside of Hagrids hut.. or could you?? It doesn´t look so..

How tall is the castle? Can you go into the towers?? Could anyone tell me? :) <3

[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!

[janandaa]

@LeonorGrave ah okay cool :) 15 stories tall what is that? Is it an american unit of measurement?

[LeonorGrave]

@janandaa stories means building floors, like if a building has 15 floors, it's 15 stories high :)

[mkid33]

@janandaa 1 story = 10 feet

[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.

[nuclearthreat545]

Wow I remember when this used to be that other baby rollercoaster....it still is but this one is harry potterish now

[Shanoon8backup]

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

[Lazypoint7]

oh man this ride is awesome my friend (who hates rollercoasters and heights) went on this and said it wasnt that bad.

[TheKOAgirl]

was it scary?

[TheDuctTapePrincess]

@TheKOAgirl Its not scary at all its basically a baby roller coaster but i have fun riding it and im fourteen last time i went my friends and i road it like 8 times after the fith way around the line The People that working the ride just let us stay on to keep riding since there was only 4 in our group...

[YoUrMoMsRiGhThErE]

flight of the hypocrite !!! XD

[sandypenguin6]

i love how everyone going up is like " HI BUCKBEAK!!!!" <33333 HP 4EVA!!!

[christinibeani]

I believe this used to be the Flying Unicorn ride. It was an awesome kids ride that no one was in line for, so you could just ride it over and over haha.

[guitarloverbm]

going there in to months cant wait !!!!!

so gonna ride it

[SelenaGomezFan1624]

are you even showing the ride??? because your NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[howwedoinlimaheights]

Lmao, the fan sort of ruins the whole scenery

[lufralezbar3]

Frikis, frikis everywhere!

[poohtimmy1]

wow was that it... geeeeeeeesh

[12clubpenguinrocks]

i could imagin toby on this

[celebritiesinvegas]

More for lil kids, not big kids, but still fun!!!!!!

[afrohero891]

To me this ride sucked. But I love Universal Studios

[GZilla2010]

Guys, ever heard of a family coaster? Its supposed to be less intense,since the Dragon Challenge and the Forbidden Journey are more intense. People don't seem to understand that. Sure its too short, but that doesn't mean its a bad coaster. Take it from me, I've rode it and its not a bad ride for kids.

[MahBoi22]

The ride itself looks pretty stupid and tame. But the scenery and animatronics are killer! I would totally love to buy an animatronic Hippogriff to keep in my yard.

[Nickamsweet]

was that it? no wander no queue....

[moneybemine]

such a bad coaster

[iSamanthaLee]

wow, i expected alot better then that..

[Dancam12345]

Looks like a really short and crappy ride

[noel8421]

i'm sure i got more dizzy watching the video than actually riding the ride. lol

[DudleyDunRight18]

So I'm 18 years old and I am TERRIFIED of roller coasters and I'll be going to the Harry Potter theme park in a couple of days, and I'm considering this to be my third roller coaster ever. Hopefully I'll like it!

[radbro24]

this used to be called the flying unicorn

[bunnygopoke]

lol

[lovablelulu1]

@LifeLiveLoveCheer i know how you feel. I'm 14, and im scared too. I've never liked roller coasters. Even kiddie ones like this.

[dimplezgomez12]

Well Tht Ride Was Quick But Looks Amazing :D

[Mramusementman]

SHORT BUT EXCITED. I LOVE THIS RIDE!

[MaileandSam]

looks awesome, but my parents say no roller costers until im 18 sigh im 11 now...

[HiMyNameIsChels]

@MaileandSam Seriously? 18? ...wow.... it should be against the law to make your kid wait that long, especially on a 30 second ride that doesn't have big dips or go very fast, like this one...

[MaileandSam]

@HiMyNameIsChels i know it sux.... my parents are to overprotective..... and ur right they should make a law. and yeah it dosn'tlook to dangerous

[TheBananas22164]

@MaileandSam I'm sorry to hear that :-(

[sharonthepixie]

@LifeLiveLoveCheer

hey, I'm 9 and i went on it 2 times its not scary

[TheLolqueen]

that is really short



[Beckiferness]

What the Hell is with the music? All they need is the Harry Potter theme on a loop...

[YeahItsHollyXX]

okay im 17 and i absolutely hate rides that go upside down so something like this is perfect for me! cause ive been dieing to come to wizarding world and knowing that i can actually go on a ride without being sick is great and i no its not a wasted journey!

[Deppdevotions]

@YeahItsHollyXX I'm exactly the same, but 15!!

[verkoparkour]

ohh noo poor animal :O!! :P

[ramsesgohard1324]

This Is Nothing Y They Screaming..

[Gippi94]

IN HAGRIDS GARDEN IS A ROLLER COASTER? D:

xD

[yeppyman13]

ok this coaster is to boring for me but the dragon challenge has loops and im not good with loopy rides, they need a medium class coaster that has big drops but isnt as crazy paced as the dragon challenge is 

[jucafafs2222]

Hippogriff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!



[Giaphaige]

8D The music is what Fred and Gorge were singing in the fourth movie whrn Irland won the world cup!

[HelloxHixWatsup]

you guys realize that this particular ride is a FAMILY ride right?

[BellaGinnyGirl]

i thought the music would be like... buckbeaks flight or something like that...

[gymboy9111]

@BellaGinnyGirl i know right?! that would be so awesome!!

[MelanieD22]

I'm gonna cry!!!

[RebekahLovesMusic]

i love that ride

[TheNoobFails]

is this like a bay ride or somethin its like sooooo short

[rosariaxxoo]

is the rollar coaster rele fast? or is it a nice ride? i hate rollar coasters, esp after watching final destination 3 lol

[designatedtable]

I hate roller coasters. I actually stiffened myself like I used to when I went on roller coasters when I watched the Thingy go down the dip at the start!

[VRiaCalero]

If you ask a student there they will tell you it isn't Buckbeak.

[Videot01]

This ride is like riding the rides based off kids movies at Disneyland. It might not be the best ride in the park, but you just gotta ride it.

[22MidgetMan22]

i think it looks like a lot of fun

[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. <3 Hes my favorite animal character in Harry Potter. :') I was SO happy to finally see at least a replica of him! It made alot of my childhood dreams come true. :')

[animeluver13100]

in the begining it was slow and i was like....wtf. then it got fast and i started screamin!

[ThoeFuPanda]

CAN YOU DANCE LIKE A HIPPOGRIFF MAMAA MAA MAMA MAA MAMA MAAA? :D

[DoomMoofy]

@ThoeFuPanda LOL I LOVE YOU.

[ThoeFuPanda]

@DoomMoofy HAHAHA Love you too mate ;D man i would sing that if i was in this ride :3

[WizardSectumsempra]

@ThoeFuPanda love wizard rock!!!



[ThoeFuPanda]

@WizardSectumsempra ≧∇≦

[horsesrmylife78]

I must say that it was a bit short. I would've liked it a bit better if it went around twice. Other than that, this ride was so great! It's great for little kids and people who don't really like rollar coasters.

[123icecreamfreak]

Oh, God this ride was AWESOME!! I went on this in Feb. when I was 10 and me, my dad, and my little brother went on this. It was soooooooooooo COOL!! I remember, I sat in the front all alone and my dad and brother sat behind me in the 2nd row. That ride was sweet!!!!! It was high, but it was worth it for all the fun!! The line wasn't very long so we had to wait about 5-10 min. IT WAS THE BEST COASTER EVER!!!!! HARRY POTTER 4EVA!!!!! OFTO

[TheRumdogg]

thumbs up if you would love to go on this ride

[dpoas]

That's it? It's only a minute long? damn

[gleefan111111]

I rode this ride, and it was the first rollercoaster I had ever been on. I'm not a ride person. I'm 15. It's sad, I know.

[XxOzzBaddxX]

buckbeak is a half eagle half horse

[jesse8698]

whos buckbeak

[yayzelda]

ooooh i can't wait to go on this! kinda. could have more hills but i'm not going on dragon challange.

[MichaelHannanShow]

@yayzelda i love dragon callenge i love all big rides and im only a little kid but i love it soooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!

[Roophie]

Was this a fun ride? I'd like to try it when i go back there next September

[vulpix556]

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL O_O

[SlughornFan7]

I was gonna ride this ride while we were at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but the wait time was 70 min.

[puggylover19]

Is'nt Florida awesome? ;)

[MrPopsnap]

Buckbeak, why are You watching the rollercoaster? ._.

[vulpix556]

@MrPopsnap HES GONNA EAT US XD

[SoloDaNINJA]

Lol me and my friend enjoyed just standing at the fence pointing at laughing at all the people screaming, becuase this roller coaster is obviously so intense and death defying....

[orellana37]

@SoloDaNINJA  if you think thats death defying than you should look at the rock it

[SoloDaNINJA]

@orellana37 that was sarcasm =_=

[orellana37]

@SoloDaNINJA ohhhh FAIL ps: one more more thing TOBUSCUS

[maykay210]

this has to be my fave ride that is not a water ride

[kylesmith305]

RONS in the first seat!!

[noelleee15]

awhh, this used to be my favorite ride....it WAS called the flying unicorn. haha

[maykay210]

@noelleee15 Wait, this was the FLYING UNICORN? I remember when i was like 8 i sat next to a fat llady and i almost fell out cuz i was sitting on the left if this was the flying unicorn. Ah, memories. I went on this last week when i went there.

[lev924]

@maykay210 yeah i think they changed it to this. i went on it when i was younger. i screamed so much

[ThePaigePixie]

I want to go SO BAD! but my parents wont let me watch the movies, i can only read some of the books (which is great), but i just wish they let me go to the park or the last movie premiere. it's not like i haven't saved up enough money for it, they just think its "immoral stuff"

[5UpsToSave]

@ThePaigePixie Well if the problem is that they think it goes against "christianity" then I really think you should talk to them and try to explain to them that it really has a lot of symbolism to christianity and mainly the story of christ, especially since J.K. Rowling is a christian too. My mom is a christian "fanatic" you could say, but she loves harry potter and agrees with what I just said which is one of the reason she enjoys the story so much. I'm going this year for my 16 and my moms 50

[ThePaigePixie]

@5UpsToSave You know, I hadn't thought of that. There actually is a lot of Christian symbolism. I'm sure they'll agree there is, but that probably wont make up for the "witch craft." I'll try that, thanks(:

[dreambigkidsunshine]

yeah i have a huge fear of rollercoasters rides anything and if this dosent look bad to me i ca go but still the rude comments are disgusting there are kids

[DanTheStripe]

1:13 - Hagrid, howz ya doin?

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

@alex1996mason you suck man think about the kids and the people who don;t like big roller coasters o:< you people with rude comments discust me!!..... x muggles x

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

lol this was the first ride in harry potter world and it was sick, dispite it's short time, i loved it XD much better then the unicorn! XD lol

[jakers7890]

I found BUCKBEAK!!!!!! :D

[jakers7890]

THAT IS A BASKET AT 1:45

[jakers7890]

At 1:45 pause and look.... wut the heck is that -___- That is the worst mold of buckbeak ive ever seen. That is so sad twoards buckbeak. U Disgrace buckbeak!!!! THIS RIDE IS HORRIBLE

[Fightingchicken12321]

That looks like an awful ride

[Bev4Ever2]

I've gone on this! You know, when it was still the unicorn :P

[twirler2016]

that bird thing is sooooooooooo cute :)

[allieisarandomer]

@twirler2016 His name is Buckbeak, He's a hippogriff (half bird half horse .... im pretty sure there related to the girffin...

[smoketheganj221]

anyone remember when this was called the unicorn? lol

[Yankee4708]

WTF??? this ride is like sooooooo short!!!

[twirler2016]

@Yankee4708 its a kiddie ride

[Yankee4708]

@twirler2016 i can tell

[BaseballAlpha28]

Wow. That same worker was working there when I went to Islands of Adventures yesterday.

[bluecherry456]

i went there 4 days in a row it was so cool but the first time i did that ride we waited in the line fore 15 minuets

[theevilcarebears]

Mw and my cousin bowed at Buckbeak each time we went on:)

[theallyproject]

This used to be 'The Flying Unicorn'

[fopper156887]

To long of a line and not worth it

[slyrocks3]

Your lucky, when I went there it rained the whole damn time... The Forbidden Journey Ride was awesome though. The Dementors and Aragog freaked me out the first time though. lol

[ultrabeest]

I don't get the wicker...

[RainyButterfly]

@Kaykrisify It's supposed to be small. It's a CHILDREN'S roller coaster. It says so on the website, dingus.

[Southgamedemon99]

BIG ASS PUMPKINS

[Southgamedemon99]

when i saw that the video was four mins, i thought that the ride that long, but you were sill in the line.

[Allthingsnerf1]

Can you go into hagrid's hut?

[HARRYPOTTERFAN1XD]

@Allthingsnerf1 no, i wish XD

[DebbyRyanForever1234]

You people that say this ride sucks you can shut up. I hope you realize not eveyone likes big roller coasters and there are tiny kids that like Harry Potter so they needed a ride for them too. Universial made this ride very well so anyone with hurtful comments can just leave.

[rollercoastersrock]

@DebbyRyanForever1234 Well bought, not made but I agree. They did have kids in mind when they had the Flying Unicorn installed.

[bettypazsoldan]

@DebbyRyanForever1234 NO, KIDS MAY GET PAINFULL RIDES SO THEY WILL BECOME BIG MAN ! THIS RIDE IS FOR GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRLS­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[comedybuff4000]

@bettypazsoldan That's a bit unfair, i'm a 16 year old boy and I don't like massive rollercoasters, this one is just perfect.

[DonationForPlushies]

@bettypazsoldan Excuse me I'm a girl and I happen to love big rides and plan on going on the dragon challenge many many time on both the hungarian horntil and the chinese fireball! So don't say this is for a girl because I am probably more manly than you pal

[ViewtifulRain]

@DebbyRyanForever1234 Well said!

[Alex1996Mason]

i disliked this not from the filming mainly because the ride is absolutely shit !!!!!!!!!

[VoxFaux]

The thing I love about this ride is the fact that you have like no seat belt, so when you are at the top you think "Oh....damn.....this is kind of high" and when you drop, you're like "Wait, WTF, RIIIIIIIP OFFFFFF." Good when you're waiting for your friend that's in the hour long Butter Beer line though.

[dueypupboy911]

Dude, the intro was a little to long. :/

[awesomehawaii]

@Kaykrisify it was fun tho!!!!

[trickfreak21]

does anyone know the height/ weight requirements for this ride?

[theallyproject]

@trickfreak21 34 or 36 inches, I believe. My 4 year old little brother went on it. He loved it xD

[michael151617]

We use the final car to cross over the wheel chair to the other side!!

[MrPollitogatito]

what's the final car for? and why so they have a slow launch mechanism instead of a chain lift at the beginning?

[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.

[MrPollitogatito]

what's the final car for?

[Kaykrisify]

I rode this and I was like "WTF." The only thing that got me worked up was seeing Buckbeak. That's it. -__-

[WarrantGirl27]

@Kaykrisify lol i wanted to take a picture of Buckbeak

[jukio02]

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

[Hirotoro4692]

@Kaykrisify child coaster :O

[avatar4life100]

@Kaykrisify maybe it's just an family ride for 5+ or something

[BeretsAreSexy]

@Kaykrisify You mean Witherwings?

[Prettychicateen]

what was that??? the whole ride is like 1 minute long! ugh

[Hotpinksk8r]

when i went i rode the flight of the hippogriff with a plush hippogriff. the nets kept him in (if anyone can tell me what the nets are for)

[KenshinForever]

@Hotpinksk8r i'm not sure if i understand your question, but are you talking the nets on the back of the seat in front of you that you can put your stuff in so it doesn't fall out? they also have nets under some roller coasters, like the hulk, to catch peoples' stuff if it falls.

[StingKing456]

When hagrid visits Florida I can just imagine him if he saw this "Now///now Beaky ya'see he's be much more special than any ol' rollercoaster ya see. Beaky aint no ride to be toyed with. Ya gots to show a hippogrif respect!"

[megadisneyfreak1]

@StingKing456 lol ikr

[lexie2795]

when i go this summer the very second i get on the ride i me even before the coaster moves ill be going yeahhhhhhhhhhh wooooooo

[livelaughlovek21]

I feel bad for the people that run the ride. they have to dress like hagrid. no joke haha this woman controlling it was dressed like him and i know she was thinking FML hahaha

[fd3]

@livelaughlovek21

What's wrong with dressing as Hagrid? :D that's like the most awesome thing ever! dressing up as someone lol

[livelaughlovek21]

@fd3 im guessing not for a 40 year old heavy woman who has to work for 8 hours in the blistering florida sun.

[brunomatiasgama]

4:20



[Nikki33Productions]

i love this ride even if it's short, becuase it goes fast for a kids ride, so it reminds me that im riding a hippogriff. and when rideing in line, the scenery is soo great. its awesome.

[TheDanteOxalis]

To all you complaining that the ride is boring,

You do realize that this ride is for KIDS, right?
