Hagrid's Ride Drops Express Pass

Get ready for a major change at Universal’s Islands of Adventure—starting July 1, 2026, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure will no longer accept the Universal Express Pass. That means fans who’ve relied on skipping lines for this top-tier ride will have to wait like everyone else. Universal says the move is to improve ride flow and overall guest experience, especially since Hagrid’s already has some of the park’s longest waits. While Express Pass holders—like Premier Pass guests—will still enjoy skip-the-line perks on other rides like Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts or Jurassic World VelociCoaster, this decision could spark debate among park enthusiasts. The update is already live on the website, with the change rolling out in just over two years, giving visitors time to adjust their plans.
