The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is getting a roller coaster.
The ride will be built in the Hogsmeade section of the Harry Potter attraction in Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure.
Universal Orlando anticipates a 2019 opening. The roller coaster will replace Dragon Challenge, which will close on Sept. 5.
Universal is touting the ride as “one of the most highly-themed coaster experiences we’ve created.”
“It will combine a new level of storytelling with an action-packed adventure … and a few surprises along the way,” Universal Orlando said in its blog.
The coaster will take riders “deeper into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where you will encounter some of your favorite characters and creatures,” Universal said.
Universal is collaborating with Warner Bros. and the production design team from the Harry Potter films.
Universal doesn’t yet have a name or artist’s rendering of the Harry Potter roller coaster.
