The ride, titled Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, will be available for guests to experience at the Hogsmeade section of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter located at Island's of Adventure.

Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a roller coaster that will also feature a number of rare magical creatures that Hagrid is known to be fond of.

Dragon Challenge first debuted with the opening of Islands of Adventure in 1999 under the title Dueling Dragons. It was closed in September 2017 so that construction on the new ride could begin.
