Episode #421: Sidecar Blues (Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Ride Review)

  • Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter has just opened its latest coaster, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and we review it!
  • We’re joined by The Insider’s Kirsten Acuna, who rode the Motorbike Adventure with Andrew.
  • Check out Kirsten’s review of the ride and her report on the queue’s easter eggs! And here’s Andrew’s review on Hypable.
  • The ride’s queue is intriguing: It’s the ruins of Hogwarts, with inscriptions and art from students over the decades. It’s here where Hagrid also birthed a Blast-Ended Skrewt.
  • Soooo about this Blast-Ended Skrewt: What large hole is spraying us while we’re on the Motorbike Adventure???
  • Andrew and Kirsten review the ride, which is a thrilling technological marvel. And riding it at night is a whole different experience!
  • The fandom has a new debate on their hands: Is the Motorbike or Sidecar the better vehicle to ride in?
  • We take questions from Patreon supporters: How does this ride compare to the others? How intense is it?
  • In this week’s Bonus MuggleCast, available exclusively on Patreon, we analyze the connection between Fawkes and Dumbledore, and what makes it so special.
