Flight of the Hippogriff™

Flight of the Hippogriff is Universal Studios Japans Vekoma Junior Coaster in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, met 335 meter baan rond Hagrids tuin.

Voor de rit leer je hoe je een Hippogriff benadert; daarna klimt de trein omhoog voor een korte vlucht langs Hagrids Hut en het pompoenveld. Het is een compacte familiecoaster, bedoeld als toegankelijke Harry Potter-rit met echte bochten en kleine duiken.
