As travelers plan their summer vacations, Universal Orlando Resort is offering a teaser video and new information about the park's newest attraction, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

To celebrate the opening of the new roller coaster at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter on June 13, Universal Orlando is sharing details about the attraction's ground-breaking technology and all-new environments.

Near Hagrid's hut, guests will find ruins at the edge of the Forbidden Forest that look to have been abandoned for years, which were designed by Universal Creative and the Harry Potter films' Production Designer, Stuart Craig, and Art Director, Alan Gilmore.

Inside the ruins, travelers will find materials from Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, including dragon eggs and a makeshift nursery, all of which will be explored during the adventure.

As for details about the roller coaster ride itself, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure will feature the most launches of any roller coaster in the world with seven, will become the first coaster in the U.S. to feature a free-fall vertical drop and the longest roller coaster in Florida at 5,053 feet long.

For roller coaster fans, the new Harry Potter-themed attraction is creating major buzz.
