The new coaster being built at Universal’s Islands of Adventure is really starting to take shape! This thrilling “family” coaster will take place within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and will feature familiar locations, characters, and creatures from the beloved stories. If you’d like to learn more about the story, track layout, and details for the new ride be sure to check out my new video!
New track is being laid for the attraction every week and a great little bunny hop has just been installed close to the entrance to the Hogsmeade train station. There are several tall cranes on site to help move these large pieces of steel around, and work can be heard all day at the park. At the same time, work is continuing on the old Dragon Challenge queue building as well. Check out the photo update below and stay tuned for more theme park news and updates coming soon!
