Forbidden Forest: Search for the Hippogriff invites you into the shadowy woods on an outdoor family coaster adventure inspired by the Wizarding World. Winding through trees, ruined structures, and magical creature enclosures, the track offers gentle drops, swift turns, and sweeping views that feel both thrilling and approachable. Along the way, you encounter atmospheric sounds, glowing details, and glimpses of a proud Hippogriff guarding its territory. It’s a great mid-level coaster for fans ready to step up from kiddie rides, especially enchanting in the evening when the forest comes alive with light and sound.
