| | |  Brochure reveals Wizarding World of Harry Potter ride details & restrictions
A brochure for Universal Studios has shone a light on Dragon Challenge, Flight of the Hippogriff and the Forbidden Journey, the rides at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Quote: Dragon Challenge
You’ll feel like a Triwizard TournamentTM competitor as you climb aboard one of two ferocious dragons that twist, loop and nearly collide in an intertwining roller coaster chase across the sky. Each “dragon” is a completely different ride!
Must be at least 54” (5 feet).
Flight of the Hippogriff
Hagrid will teach you the proper way to approach the Hippogriff before you take off on a family-friendly coaster that spirals and dives around the pumpkin patch and past Hagrid’s hut.
Must be at least 36” (3 feet).
Harry Potter and the Forbidden JourneyTM
Make your way through the classrooms and corridors of HogwartsTM, then soar above the castle on this groundbreaking ride that lets you join Harry PotterTM and his friends on a thrilling adventure.
Must be at least 48” (4 feet).
Photos from the brochure can be found in our galleries.

So am I, but I literally MADE myself get on Dueling Dragons before they closed it to change it over to Dragon Challenge. They aren't changing the track or anything, from what we know, so I'm so ready to ride it once they open it again. It's not all that bad. I just worked myself up over it, but once I rode it once, I wanted to ride again.
Flight looks fun. Saw some of the track the other day. Going to check out IoA again tomorrow and see what move they have done in the past week.

Sounds good but the first reminds me a lot of the twin dragons ride that is already there, so i think they might have just edited the background stuff for the ride

They are actually changing over the theme of the ride as we speak. I was at the park last week and they are changing the cars to go with the corresponding dragons each track holds. No word on if the track color will change, but Universal does touch-up the paint on their tracks each year.

I was talking to my friends that work there and once a coasters track is set, it usually can't be changed. If they like tore it down and started anew, that would be a different story. They are just using the existing track and working with that. They are changing the cars though for the ride. One of my friends saw them the other day. I'm supposed to be going tomorrow to play at the park again and to see what else I can see.
I know the queue area for the attraction is changing for sure, they have been working on it for some time. I never got a chance to see the original queue before they started to change it over, but rumor has it, it will be interesting and possible interactive like the queue of another attraction at another Central Florida park. Not sure of the truth yet, but I'm always keeping my ears open for new bits of info about the park and stuff.

Seriously can't wait to see what they do with both the queue and with the old Flying Unicorn queue. Universal's theme-ing is amazing.
