Hogwarts Legacythe biggest game based on the Harry Potter franchise, doesn’t officially come out until Friday, but early access has already started, and thousands of “Muggles” have already received their letter to enroll in the college of Magic and sorcery.
Few games are causing as much buzz as Hogwarts Legacy, largely for reasons unrelated to the quality and content of the game. But whoever decides to buy it will find an action RPG with the best reconstruction ever made to date in a video game. Hogwarts and surroundings.
The team of Avalanche SoftwarePassing his first AAA game with flying colors, he has analyzed every frame of the Harry Potter movies and read every book. But the search for inspiration has taken them to unexpected places… like a roller coaster of a theme park from Universal.
Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure, Universal Studios Florida attraction, sneaks into Hogwarts Legacy
Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure it is a roller coaster open in 2019 which is located in the theme park Islands of Adventure, of the Universal Orlando resort. It is one of the best roller coasters in the world, and one of the most expensive ever built (300 million dollars).
The roller coaster seats two passengers per row, one on the motorcycle Red Hagridand another in a sidecar, traveling a kilometer and a half of tracks around some old ruins in the middle of a forest full of magical creatures.

The roller coaster is one of the most popular in the park for being suitable for all the family (it does not have investments), although it does have many launches at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, going through numerous animatronics and a theming and landscaping pampered to the extremecreated expressly for the attraction.
So much so that the people of Avalanche Software visited the attraction to create a near-exact replica of the location and ruins (but without the roller coaster that passes in between, of course) in its open world.
That’s something they revealed in a making of video back in September, and now that we have the game we’ve been able to go see it on site.
The ruins are located in a fairly remote area of the map that you probably won’t find until you receive the side quest The Rowland Oakes Tale. This is the map location of said ruins.
Inside you will find several enemies and the side quest related to Rowland Oakes (which we will not gut you here) takes place.
In itself, the ruins (its exterior, at least) do not seem to have much interest… except if you have visited Islands of Adventure parkbecause you will recognize all the locations and nooks where you go with the roller coaster built by Intamin.
Although in the Hogwarts Legacy story, late 19th century, he has not yet been born Red Hagridwho is the one who, in the history of the attraction, takes us on a ride with his flying motorcycle to see the ruins.
In fact, this roller coaster was a place chosen by Universal to pay tribute to Robbie Coltrane, the recently deceased actor of Hagrid, and which has a detailed animatronic with the appearance of the actor, which they filled with flowers for a few days.
