Islands of Adventure won’t miss Dueling Dragons. At first many were upset at the move. However, with Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure on the horizon, it’s a non-issue. Can this be the best attraction in Orlando?
HMCMA is the talk of the theme park world. Galaxy’s Edge might have a lot of enthusiasts and travelers on the edge of their seats, but Universal Studios wants to open their newest attraction before anyone makes any judgments. Obviously, Galaxy’s Edge is an entirely new land, although, Hagrid’s Motorbike coaster looks to be first class.
This attraction is going to have a bit of everything. There are going to be launches, a drop-track, animatronics, and sensational themeing. It’s not just a coaster. Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure will be an experience. Disney will have a hard time topping this with anything Galaxy’s Edge has to offer.
Who knows what the House of Mouse has up their sleeve. Universal, who hasn’t revealed much else about HMCMA, plays things close to the chest. The ride is still very much a mystery. The Wizarding World was seen as a real threat to Walt Disney World. For the first time, Universal had surpassed Disney in terms of themeing and immersive experiences.
You know anything Harry Potter will go over really well. Disney tried with Avatar and Toy Story Land, but they just couldn’t seem to beat Harry Potter. Star Wars is the last hope they have. Seeing as Galaxy’s Edge will be newer, a lot of the shine will be taken off of The Wizarding World and Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure.
Universal has yet to fail with the Wizarding World. They’ll get a huge head start on Walt Disney World with Galaxy’s Edge not opening until fall. However, one attraction for 2019 we can’t leave out as competition for HMCMA is Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway. This could be a sleeper to overtake Universal for the best new attraction.
It goes without saying, that Universal fanboys will claim HMCMA is the best ride in the world. Disney fanboys will declare all of Galaxy’s Edge and Runway Railway is better than anything in the Wizarding World. You’ll never get a real answer from anyone it’s all a matter of opinion.
We’ve got no idea if Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure will be the best attraction in Orlando. It very well could be but might be unseated quickly by Runaway Railway or Galaxy’s Edge.
The fun won’t end with these two. There’s the Jurassic Park coaster at Islands of Adventure, and the Guardians coaster at Epcot. Point is, the Orlando theme park world is ever changing. It’s impossible to call something the best. Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure could be the best attraction in the world. Just don’t expect that to be unanimous in a year.
