It also has a workbench with some Hagrid-sized gloves on top. This room has all sorts of notes and sketches for various creatures Hagrid has been studying. After a few long and winding tunnels, we arrive at Hagrid’s lab. The next section of the queue does not have too much theming as it is the same long natural rock tunnels that were once part of Dragon Challenge.

Although this room is actually indoors, the windows give off a convincing natural light effect.
This room is also pretty unique for its large windows on one side. There is a shelf with various eggs, a massive fire crab shell, amongst other things. Arthur uses a water spell to put the flames out, and in the process, drenches guests (that effect is very startling).Īfter the preshow, guests enter a narrow switchback room that has all kinds of different creatures within it. The motorbike, which is infamous for its malfunctions, doesn’t seem to handle the duplicating process well and sputters into a fireball, setting fire to the stage.
Hagrid needs to take us to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but instead of walking there, he has Arthur duplicate the famed enchanted motorbike and sidecar so we can all ride together. Using the same hyper-realistic projection technology found in other Harry Potter attraction preshows, Hagrid and Arthur Weasley explain that we are all here for a Care of Magical Creatures class. Right off the bat, guests are whisked away into a large preshow room. Some eagle-eyed guests may notice a worn out mural on the wall sporting a red and blue dragon with the words ‘Dueling Club’-a subtle nod to the old attraction. This building was once home to the Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge queue, and while it does share some similarities in layout, Universal took a lot of time retheming it to fit the new attraction. The queue then faces a large dilapidating ruin covered in moss and overgrowth. There are tons of detailed props in this area, including a pumpkin patch, gardening tools, and old lanterns, signs of Hagrid’s recent projects. This section of the queue is still outside but is more secluded than before. You continue along the path and get a picturesque view of Hogwarts before you wind up at Hagrid’s hut. Once you reach the top, it gives you a great photo opportunity of the coaster track and the surrounding ruins. The first section of the line is outdoors and winds up through several switchbacks.

Just as you enter the outdoor portion of the queue, you may be lucky enough to see a train full of ‘flying’ motorbikes roar past you, which makes for a truly great entrance. Our journey begins just past the stone archway in Hogsmeade facing the Forbidden Forest.
