The theme park said riders will fly with the half-giant Hogwarts groundskeeper Hagrid on a "thrilling roller coaster" that "plunges into the path of some of the wizarding world's rarest magical creatures." 

The ride will be in the Hogsmeade area of Universal's Islands of Adventure where the Dragon Challenge coaster used to be.
