Flight of the Hippogriff Review We're here at Islands of Adventures, within the Universal Orlando Resort, where's we'll be revewing their Roller Skater. Flight of the Hippogriff. Now, I like these rides. And this is the Big Model. So I like it even more. Anyways, lets get moving. We pull down the lap bar, and we're off. We go around a turn, climb the lifthill, and go down the curved first drop. Wee!! We've got some speed now. We go around a curve and slightly turn up before dipping back down towards the ground. We rise up, go through a turnaround, and dip back down. We rise up, go through another helix back down towards the ground. We roll through another turn and into the brake run. With these large Roller Skaters, these are the coasters where I start to think to myself, "Is this a kiddy coaster?". Seriously, this is the area where the line starts to get fuzzy. But hey, I enjoy these rides and wouldn't mind taking another spin. And hey. With this one, people don't even think you're credit whoring. They just assume you're a Potterhead. 4/10 Location: Universal Orlando Resort Opened: 2000 Built by: Vekoma Last Ridden: August 17, 2025 I have ridden this exact same ride at the following parks.
