Since it opened back in 2019, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure has continued to be one of the most popular and best-reviewed rides at Universal Orlando. Featuring a thrilling layout, incredible effects, and more than a few surprises, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is one of many highlights the resort has to offer.
However, even all these years later, the Harry Potter-themed roller coaster was missing one key feature: Express Pass. Despite the ride’s popularity, which often results in extremely long lines, Express Pass has never been offered for Hagrid’s. Guests have seen other new rides like Jurassic World VelociCoaster get added to Universal’s Express Pass lineup, but Hagrid’s has remained in its own unique lane.
This changes today.

Fans have speculated for years when/if Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure would get its own Express Pass line, as the coaster is one of the most popular attractions at Universal Orlando Resort. More rumors started to flood the internet earlier this week, claiming that, finally, after nearly six years, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures would get its own Express Pass line at the end of May.
These rumors turned out to be true, as guests can now skip the coaster’s lengthy queue by using Express Pass.
Universal Express Pass allows guests to skip the regular standby queues for participating attractions. Express Pass comes in two varieties: regular and unlimited. The former lets users bypass the standard queues for select attractions once per ride. Unlimited is exactly how it sounds, allowing guests to skip the regular line for participating attractions as many times as they wish.
Prices for both tiers of Express Pass are as follows:
Universal Studios Florida
- Express Pass: $109.99
- Express Unlimited Pass: $139.99
Universal Islands of Adventure
- Express Pass: $119.99
- Express Unlimited Pass: $149.99
Earlier this month, Epic Universe officially opened, featuring its own long list of rides, attractions, and immersive experiences for guests to enjoy. So far, only the regular Express Pass service is offered for the new park, which guests can purchase for $149.99.
The following attractions are excluded from Express Pass at Epic Universe:
- Dragon Racer’s Rally
- Mine-Cart Madness™
- Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry™
