One of the most exciting attractions coming to the newly expanded Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando is the Hogwarts Express! Guests can ride the train between Hogsmeade station at Islands of Adventure theme park and King’s Cross station at Universal Studios theme park. A Park-to-Park ticket is required to travel on the Hogwarts Express.
For the ride from Hosgmeade at Islands of Adventure to London at Universal Studios, guests will see some of the magnificent scenery of London and the British countryside, and encounter characters featured in the films. This will be the first time that Muggles are allowed to board the famous train that’s such an important part of the Harry Potter stories. On the return trip from London to Hogsmeade, guests will travel on the iconic steam engine through the urban outskirts of London to the charming village of Hogsmeade, replicating one of the memorable elements of Harry Potter’s school life.
The Hogwarts Express will be a very unique and easy way for Universal Orlando guests to travel between the 2 theme parks once the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley opens this Summer! The Hogwarts Express will feature two different experiences whether you’re traveling from London to Hogsmeade or Hogsmeade to London.
