The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Roller CoastersFlorida Guide > Universal Parks We were staying for a couple of days at one of the Universal hotels, which gave us an upgrade to our annual tickets, to Express Pass status. Currently this does not apply to any of the rides in the HP area, but applied to most of the other rides. Staying in the hotel also has another advantage – getting into the parks one hour earlier than the general public. So, armed with our express passes, we set off on a mission to sample all that Harry Potter could offer – and were standing at the entrance to Islands of Adventure at 8. 00am (matchsticks propping our eyes open). It was great fun showing our passes and getting in ahead of the general queue that was already forming, and we route-marched straight to HP World and joined the strangely long queue at the Forbidden Journey ride. It was then that we found out that the ride had broken down the evening before and was still being tested. We were advised that it might be an hour or more before it would open. Disappointed, we decided to leave the queue and try the other rides and take a more leisurely stroll around the HP village. We had previously tried the Dragon Challenge rollercoaster ride when it was known as Duelling Dragons but it was still good to see how they had Potter-fied the queuing area and the ride was as exhilarating as before. Then on to the Flight of the Hippogriff, a tamer rollercoaster, formerly known as the Flight of the Unicorn. Walking round the queuing area, we took in the HP props and buildings, like Hagrid’s hut and declared them as very authentic. My other half, who is a total wimp when it comes to rides, decided he could manage this coaster and we all had a good laugh at his face as he grimaced his way around the ride, while clinging on for dear life. Once he had stopped his legs from shaking when he exited the ride, it was on to the HP Village while the area was still relatively quiet.
