Step into fantasy and roam the streets of Harry Potter’s world. Highlights include: Hogwarts Castle which has a roller coaster-like ride inside in which you are strapped into a robotic arm and flung about among virtual dragons and tree limbs while a holographic Harry Potter encourages you to fly faster. While you are walking to and standing in line for the ride, you tour in the inside of the castle and see the Sorting Hat, the moving paintings and Dumbledore’s office. The castle has been built to mirror the castle in the Harry Potter movies. You can also visit Hogsmead, the snowy village near Hogwarts filled with shops and drink a frozen Butter Beer which is a yummy non-alcoholic drink that tastes like a shortbread smoothie. Be sure to experience the Dragon Challenge roller coaster which is listed as one of the world’s top 50 rides.
