Dragon Challenge closing to make room for 'Harry Potter' roller coaster at Universal Orlando

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The Wizarding World of Harry Potter roller coaster is coming to Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

The "Harry Potter" ride will replace Dragon Challenge, which has been at Universal since 1999.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in 2010 and replaced Dueling Dragons.

Universal said the ride will redefine the category and transport park-goers to thrilling places and adventures within the wizarding world. Universal said it will be the perfect addition to Hogsmeade.

Dragon Challenge will close September 5, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is set to open in 2019, officials said.
