HAGRID'S MAGICAL CREATURES MOTORBIKE ADVENTURE

I have a breaking story that won't wait for the newsletter, especially if you are planning your summer visit to Universal Orlando Resort, specifically regarding Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

Universal Orlando has started confirming to parks blogger Scott Gustin and other users on X in the last half hour that starting July 1st, the attraction will no longer be offered with a Universal Express Pass option, reverting back to standby line only. The website lists it now as not part of Express Pass, but according to the reply from the official Universal Orlando channel on X, the change will take effect on July 1st.

The slow shutdown of the at has claimed another victim. is now permanently closed and construction walls edge further into the area. Will you miss Mystic Fountain's wise cracking remarks or are you excited for the new chapter for this area?
