Flight of the Hippogriff • Universal Islands of Adventure

Theming

Decent kiddie coaster with incredible theming.

Theming Smoothness Pointless Lap Bar

A good kids coaster with a decent drop and good theming. The nets on the lap bar are dumb.

Theming Location Fun Discomfort

A really nice family coaster and a nice way to start the day and warm-up the coaster muscles. It has just enough thrill to add some tingles throughout the experience. Fast Pass lines move quickly (more so than most rides at Universal.) We've been on this ride a dozen times and never experienced the waits others have noted. (From my daughter, Ashley) - She would give it 3 stars. Her thoughts: Me and my family enjoyed it .The theming was a fun and exciting part of the ride.The first drop was a thrilling part of the ride and overall it was just really fun!

Eh.

Theming Nice surprise! Fun Too short Capacity

Good theming and suprisingly fast for a kiddie! But it's not worth a long wait as the operations aren't very good and it's over very quick.

Theming Fun Too short Capacity

Way too short for the amount of time we waited. Also no fast lane what the heck

Theming Fun Intensity

Great ride for younger kids, my niece and nephew loved this.

Location Fun

I used to love this coaster when I first came to Orlando. I was 3 then.

Theming Location Comfort

A nice fun kids starter coaster

Fun Too short Capacity

It's a decent kiddie, though insultingly short. Do it if it has a less than 10 minute wait. 3.5/10 - if it was 10 seconds longer it would be better than VelociCoaster

Theming Too short Pointless

Far better than the dinky one in Hollywood, but still just a kiddie coaster with a cool animatronic at the beginning. This one has probably 40ish seconds of actual ride time whereas the California one feels like 20 seconds. Don't wait in line for this one but it's not a total waste of time.

Rattle Capacity Disappointing!

This is a kiddie coaster, but it’s a bad one. A crazy long wait, uncomfortable and small cars, a pretty intense rattle, and extremely short layout are just a few of its problems.

Theming Discomfort

The brake run is pretty intense!

Theming Fun Intensity

Flight of the Hippogriff is a fun one, and is perfect for kids looking to ride something. This coaster may be less intense than its Universal Studios Florida counterpart, but is better in the theming department.

Theming Smoothness Capacity Pointless

Just your average kiddie coaster spruced up with theming, but that comes at the cost of a longer wait time.

This is absolutely a family coaster, but the location and the theming are what make it particularly special. The theming isn't super heavy, but it helps immerse you in the Harry Potter world.

Theming Capacity Harness

Obviously it's a kid's ride so the lack of leg room isn't really its fault lol. Its decent for a kid coaster and I like to bet my brother that I could stand on the back car without a restraint and just hold on with my amazing grip strength.

Fun

This is the tamest ride I've been on and it's a pretty solid kiddie coaster. It's not exactly designed for me, but for these lower intensity rides, I'm rating them based on how well they serve less seasoned riders.

Fun

Fun little kiddie coaster, packs some decent laterals.

in the film, the hippogriff seems to fly much higher than this. solid family coaster. cool views of the areas and such from it also makes it worthwhile.

Theming Location Smoothness

Flight of the hipogriff is a fun kiddie / family coaster that has some good theming and offers good views of the hogwards castle. It´s a pretty smooth ride, don´t know why some people say it´s not

Pace Intensity

For a kiddie coaster it had some intensity and a nice pace. Was a bit short and seating wasn't that comfortable though Thrill: 1.25/5

Intensity Discomfort

This is a little rattly, though the themeing is still great! Something about this coaster is kind of lacking, and it makes me put it below more mild coasters. If i get rerides it'll likely be better, but i was GP at the time and i did not apreciate the more aggressive than normal ride, at least for family coaster standards. I hope to ride this again, and hopefully it can bump up in my rankings.

Theming Fun Smoothness

It is a great family coaster and is brilliantly themed. I love the animatronic of BuckBeak and the design of the train itself. Best kiddy coaster at the park. You get a great view of The Hogwarts Castle. It has a nice queue line. I would like to ride it again.

Theming Fun Duration

This is far and away the best junior coaster in Florida. It has many helices and dips, and is excellently themed with the beautiful queue and Buckbeak animatronic.
