[{"selector":"#anim-b7b96d1e-20f1-4369-ac3e-536079fd8226","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.77453%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57be2195-6002-4726-8209-24c013c91704","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a7f1859a-d280-4826-9f1d-27dc8b05dd61","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] No disrespect to Buckbeak, but of all the wizarding rides, this one comes in last simply because, well, it’s simple. It’s really a kid’s roller coaster, but don’t skip it either. You get great views of Hogwarts and you get to see the aforementioned mythical creature in action. #5 Flight of The Hippogriff:

[{"selector":"#anim-ffabcee2-2a3f-4d1e-89eb-f97168276a06","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.77453%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6044f9be-4f84-4df0-9869-662415bad232","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86a2f08f-d6a4-465a-bbd9-67e4056fb94f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] No doubt it’s every Harry Potter kid’s dream to hop aboard the steam engine to Hogsmeade and everything about this ride is amazing – except that in order to ride, you need to buy a 2-park ticket. Otherwise, you’re out of luck. #4 Hogwarts Express:

[{"selector":"#anim-79709cb3-19e4-402e-817c-bdb8f0fdc3ed","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.50928%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57743ae7-b093-48b7-8aa6-09842cc9f12b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-80e83fde-6655-4f9f-8b64-467c7154bfb8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] The OG, the big event, the ride inside Hogwarts castle that is an immersive experience from the moment you pass the winged boars. But be warned, if you’re prone to motion sickness, this will be a tough one to stomach. #3 Harry Potter & The Forbidden Journey:

[{"selector":"#anim-a77197d1-3e2e-4a92-aabc-7d364c4f747a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.77453%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a135225-1057-4915-b739-a42f45d3aca4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a163f2a4-8cba-476f-b943-b3d0463258b9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] From the moment you step inside Gringotts bank, you’re transported right into the action of the final film. Half rollercoaster, half 3-D experience, this is is less intense than the Forbidden Journey, but every bit as exciting, so more people can enjoy. #2 Escape from Gringotts:

[{"selector":"#anim-2ce2eb00-e3fa-4b78-874b-df763c3ce602","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.50928%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9baa1c31-8adb-4020-9615-4d3c6f21cba0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-efe59b08-969d-4d2f-b738-dc5dc29b20b6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] It has thrills, it has adventure, it has Blast Ended Skrewts and a full size animatronic of Hogwarts beloved Groundskeeper. It also lets you ‘drive’ one of the most iconic vehicles from the movies – and there’s a big surprise twist at the end of the coaster! Nothing tops it! #1 Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure:
