An inverted stall where you quickly flip upside down and are weightless in your seat while navigating 100ft of inverted track.A dive loop where you rotate upside down while floating in your seat before diving down to the ground.There are several inversions on this ride that are not experienced on any other Universal coaster:.This airtime will be experienced not only right-side-up, but also upside down, and even sideways. VelociCoaster will have more extreme airtime than any other coaster at Universal, it’s all about speed, airtime, and direction changes.VelociCoaster does not slow down – it actually speeds up, the second half of the ride is faster than the first, and it maintains some of its fastest speeds all the way to the final brakes.
VelociCoaster is the fastest roller coaster at any Universal park.VelociCoaster has no brakes until it’s over.The cool part about this epic finale is that the airtime you’ll experience is JUST as intense as that “Top Hat” I mentioned, except this time YOU’RE UPSIDE-DOWN! RIDE STATS: The entire ride is absolutely incredible, but my favorite maneuver is the barrel roll over the Islands of Adventure lagoon toward the very end. To me, the disorientation of the track makes it hard for you to even realize where you’re going and next thing you know, you’re already in another awesome maneuver! The track also crosses over and under itself 40 times. Photo Credit: Instagram you’ll launch to 50mph in 3 seconds before experiencing one of the most unique elements of the ride, a 155ft tall “Top Hat” which gives you the illusion of flying over Islands of Adventure for a moment before dropping 140 feet down at 80 degrees. We also see Owen from the Raptor Dispatch with a warning right before loading onto the ride. Before riding, you’ll watch a safety briefing from Claire Dearing. If you look closely, you might even see a few Raptors in the paddock. Throughout the queue, the paddock walls offer a few “peek-a-boo” style views where you’ll watch the coaster weave in and out of the rockwork. (You’ll encounter all four Raptors again out in the paddock while you’re on the coaster, but keep an eye out for them - you’re moving pretty quick!) I could have stared at these girls for hours on end with how realistic they were. You’ll feel and smell their breath as they stand waiting to be groomed.
You’ll come face-to-face (literally) with two full-grown Velociraptors - Delta and Echo. You’ll then make your way into the Raptor Stable. It’s a thrilling moment in itself, getting you even more pumped to ride! MEET THE RAPTORS At this moment you’ll feel air pressure and Raptors screech past you. DNA, of course.Īs you continue through the queue, you’ll be feet away from the 70mph launch. You’ll also see a safety message from Mr. In the lobby you’ll see a =sculpture representation of Jurassic World’s four star Raptors – Blue, Delta, Echo, and Charlie – before coming face-to-face with them on the ride. Right? THE QUEUEĪs you make your way through the entrance of VelociCoaster, you’ll encounter two towering bronze Velociraptor sculptures framing the hero moment of the ride, showing off a signature inverted stall move. It seems it would be a great idea to construct a roller coaster right in the middle of a Raptor paddock. With the Velociraptors showing signs of intelligence and responding to Owen Grady’s command, Claire has designed a new ride. Claire has already green-lit development for the Indominus rex, but it seems there’s been a hiccup and that exhibit is being slightly delayed. THE STORYĪ little more about the ride’s story: this ride is imagined to take place shortly before the events of the first Jurassic World film when Claire Dearing, resort operations manager of Jurassic World, was challenged to add “more teeth” to the park.
Now, welcome to… the complete guide to Jurassic World VelociCoaster. It’s one of those experiences that leaves you in such awe from the minute you step foot into the queue, you can barely put it into words. Let me tell you, this coaster is INCREDIBLE. I’m not kidding when I tell you I was beyond PUMPED to combine my love for dinosaurs AND roller coasters on Jurassic World VelociCoaster. I walked down the aisle at my wedding (in Costa Rica!) to the film score of my favorite movie, Jurassic Park. I’ve talked about my love for dinosaurs in a previous blog and how as a little girl I dreamt of having my own dinosaur in my backyard. 70 miles per hour… that might read like the speed limit on the highway to Universal Orlando Resort but it’s also how fast the NEW Jurassic World VelociCoaster is at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
