Flight of the Hippogriff Constructed at Hollywood’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter

by Courtney Gamache · Published October 15, 2015 · Updated July 12, 2016

Universal Studios Hollywood is replicating Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, including the Flight of the Hippogriff roller coaster. The only attraction that is not being added to the new area on the West Coast is Orlando’s Dragon Challenge roller coaster, according to the Theme Park Insider.

With construction taking a long time, scaffolding around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade has finally come down, and the Flight of the Hippogriff roller coaster has begun conducting preliminary test runs to make sure everything is running smoothly for park guests. Earlier in the year, we reported on how construction was making progress, in hope of a speedy opening.

Although there is no official opening date for the West Coast’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, Theme Park Insider suggests that it should be ready by summer 2016. For more information regarding the different theme parks, MuggleNet has devoted an entire section to details and news about construction.

Do you think there will be a large impact due to the withdrawal of the Dragon Challenge ride? Share your thoughts below with us!
