While Universal Studios Orlando is already home to some incredible attractions in its Wizarding World of Harry Potter, such as their very own Hogsmeade, the Hogwarts Express, and even a Hogwarts Castle, the newest roller coaster seems to bringing out the most dedicated of Potterheads. The ride, called Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, saw whopping 10-hour waits in its opening day, and for those lucky enough to have experienced the brand-new attraction already, it looks like many have deemed it worth the line.

GameSpot got to take a ride on the Motorbike Adventure, and noted all their favorite details as they soared through the Forbidden Forest, namely some pretty sweet easter eggs.

The site mentioned in particular the many Harry Potter nods on the walls of the castle ruins. The graffiti, which looks similar to cave drawings, includes a joke about a Hippogriff attempting to catch Draco Malfoy (likely in reference to the Prisoner of Azkaban scene where the cocky wizard encounters Buckbeak), a drawing of a Phoenix that looks just like Fawkes, and even some sweet writings from Harry’s parents, James and Lily Potter.

Additionally, the ride includes a reference to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, according to GameSpot, who reports that Hagrid has a poster of Nifflers in his main workshop.

The new ride seems to be an must-do experience for diehard Harry Potter fans, exploring some of the most mysterious parts of Hogwarts and the fun style of Hagrid and his creatures.
