How to Ride Hogwarts Express in Universal Orlando?

Are you ready to take your voyage on the Hogwarts Express?

For me personally, I jump at the slightest chance of getting close to J.K. Rowling’s magical world– the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

So when I heard that Universal Studios was bringing the Hogwarts Express to, complete with the bustling area of Diagon Alley, dementors, more scenes from the Harry Potter movie and Kings Cross station, I knew I had to be one of the first people to experience this back in 2014.

Universal Studios has really outdone itself on this one. It is the only ride in the entire park that is not just a ride but a transport system as well!
