Wow wow, i must say i absolutely LOVED the Velocicoaster!!!! It's a beautiful scene. The coaster was fast, smooth and exciting. The lady joined me on this! Love you for fighting your fears! The drops, inversions, helix twists all made for such a fun. Scream worthy adrenaline shot!!! Original wait time was 55 minutes. Who got thru it in about 25-30min no line hopper. It was the coaster that just put a smile on my face from the rapid launch to the ending halt. I would ride this 5-10x if we had the time this day! WELL worth it and MUST give it a go. This coaster and star dust racer were my TOP two rides on this trip! Cant wait to experience this again! Now it's not an extreme coaster by any means but there's different attractions for those types! This is a great blend for coaster lovers and yet smooth as butter for those a bit more apprehensive!
Are you too a coaster nerd? Buckle in for some coaster facts. Track Length: 1,436 meters Inversions: 4 Airtime Moments: 12 Barrel Roll Speed: 53 MPH Top Hat: 155ft with a 140ft drop at 80° angle Launch Starts: 2 Upside-Down Hang Time: 2.0 seconds What could go wrong? For me, absolutely nothing as I LOVE coasters! Though, if you aren't a coaster person, I would possibly sit this one out as it is pretty intense. The ride is especially intense in the front, and well worth the little extra wait (separate queue). We rode almost ten times in our 4 days in the Universal Parks. Easily it would have been more if my mom was a coaster person. There are amazing state of the art lockers that you can open on both sides, and be sure to empty EVERYTHING as you will go through a metal detector to make sure. This ride is intense and you will definitely lose items if you try to keep on your person. Once you ride, you'll know why they are so strict on it. Personally, I would suggest leaving any glasses as you'll be holding on them for dear life. Lastly, this is my favorite coaster in the United States. And absolute must! Beautiful theming through out and built by the state-of-the-art renowned coaster company Intamin. Be sure to strike a pose when you first launch as the photo is taken fairly quickly on this ride. Enjoy and stay safe as there are raptors on the loose!
By far, my most favorite roller coaster I've ever ridden! Nothing compares to it!!! G-forces, upside down, spirals over water, gut wrenching drops....All of the things!!! #1 in my book!!
You never know how fat or funny looking you are until you look at your on-ride photo. I'll leave it at that.
Velocicoaster is a FIVE STAR ride! If there's one ride you MUST go on at Universal's Island of Adventure, it's this one!! If you're not a roller coaster person, it's okay me neither honestly LOL. Trust me, I was contemplating ALL day whether or not I wanted to go on this ride & finally 2 hrs before closing time, I decided to go! This ride & Stardust Racers in Epic Universe are my favorites now, of all the Universal rides. Velocicoaster is slightly faster than Stardust Racers. They both start off with a pretty fast launch & have multiple inversions! I really enjoyed this ride because of how SMOOTH it was... literally smooth like butter! I think that this ride looks much scarier & intimidating than it actually is! Universal + Disney do such a good job with bigger coasters, in my opinion. I didn't feel that stomach pull at all, that I typically experienced on big coasters w/ drops. Hehe, if we had more time before closing, I would totally go back x5. Originally the wait time was supposed to be 55 min but we ended up only waiting for 25 min!
The fastest coaster I've ever been on! This ride is so unique--there's no safety bar to pull over your head, just a secure lap bar around your waist, leaving you feeling completely open. The thrill and adrenaline rush are unmatched, and it was absolutely worth the wait! The queue itself is immersive, filled with raptor visuals and fascinating information. I loved every second and wanted to ride it over and over again! Highly recommended
as a person whose never rode roller coasters up until this trip, let me tell you... this is my favorite roller coaster ever!!! i was super scared at first with all the inversions, speed, and going upside down. however, that made it so fun!! i can understand that some might not like this if you don't like the scary, thrilling roller coasters. but, as someone with experience with the "novice" roller coaster rider feeling, don't say you hate it till you try it!!! once you go on it, you'll want to go on it again. also, the queue was amazing
One of the top three coasters in Universal and maybe the best coaster overall. It is fast fast fast and has many drops, loops, and turns. It will send you on a thrill ride that will have you screaming and then begging to do it again. You need their fast pass here or run here at time of early entry if you have that.. otherwise you are going to be in for a heck of a wait. However no matter what this is a MUST ride coaster! You have not done anything here until you ride this coaster! Believe me you'll thank me... do not miss out riding this ride!

Okay I get the hype now. I believe this is my new favorite ride of all time! The theming and the thrills were there! While waiting for the ride there was lots of interesting elements. For example a video with Chris Pratt that builds the ride premise that Jurassic World is trying to build a roller coaster right in the middle of the raptor enclosure. Definitely could see something like this happening in the movies and it going wrong. The ride itself goes so fast! Lots of twists and turns but also staying very smooth. Worth the wait. Though I believe if you try to go here right when you get to the park it has shorter lines. read more
Jurassic World VelociCoaster is hands down one of the best roller coasters! The theming is incredible, the launches are intense, and the ride is smooth from start to finish. Every second is packed with thrills, and the top hat over the lagoon is unforgettable. If you're visiting Islands of Adventure, this is an absolute must-do. I do not recommend this ride if you are not a fan of thrill rides. read more

Jurassic World Velocicoaster is an awesome experience. Special thanks to Dr. Ian Malcolm for his wise words about chaos theory. read more
My husband is a roller coaster junkie, so by association, I have to ride a lot of roller coasters with him. VelociCoaster is one of the best I have ridden. First off, let me tell you that I'm not super comfortable riding coasters that go upside down if I don't have a shoulder harness holding me in. I was told by my husband (who I'm pretty sure wasn't intentionally lying) that VelociCoaster had such seatbelts. However, when we got to the front of the line, the locking mechanism did come down over your shoulders, but to my horror they then locked in down below your legs on either side and across your lap - nothing on your shoulders - ah! But I'm happy to report that I did not fly out of the ride (and never felt like I was going to, except when you're supposed to feel a little weightless). I won't spoil the entire experience by going into too much detail, but I will say it kicks off immediately with excitement and never slows down. Twists and turns, and one spot where it stalls a little when you're UPSIDE DOWN. In fact, my husband rode it again immediately after our first ride, and when he was done, he had to literally sit down for a while and rest and recover. Definitely an intense thrill ride that I'd recommend to any coaster fan! read more

If you ever find yourself at Universal Studios in Orlando the Velocicoaster at Island of Adventures is a must ride. Easily the most exhilarating roller coaster I've ever been on. It starts off fast right off the launch and stays fast the whole way through. It has everything from inversions, barrel rolls and a steep drop. At one point you spiral right over the water. The wait time is long but it's completely worth it! Easily the best ride there for thrill seekers! read more

I was terrified to go on the velocicoaster, but I had a blast and I am so glad I did. 70mph top speed and a fun drop. The whole thing is pretty quick so there is no sitting at the top waiting for the drop. High fives and laughs after we got to the end. Highly recommend it and get a magnet in the gift shop to remember your experience. I did! read more
Never thought I would be reviewing a rollercoaster on Yelp but here we are! One ride and you'll understand why people can't get enough of this one. From the moment you enter the line until you exit, you are completely immersed in the storyline. Of course, all of that disappears from your mind as soon as the crew members give the thumbs up and your car makes its way inside where the raptors await. There is nothing like waiting as the anticipation builds up before that first launch. From there it's pure insanity as you speed through the track. Over the iconic top hat drop and inversion over people and water, all with nothing but a lap bar! Your butt is constantly coming out of the seat and you somehow feel like you could easily fall out all while somehow feeling security locked in. It's really one you have to ride to understand what I mean. Personally I prefer to sit in the even seats so I have something I can put my feet on to brace myself a bit more. The odd rows only have a metal wall so your feet dangle the entire ride, adding to the feeling of falling out. Depending on the level of intensity you're going for, that may be just what you want. Like most coasters, the closer to the front you are, the smoother the ride. But even in the very back, this is still one of the smoothest coasters you'll ever ride. Every spot offers a different experience so it's worth it to ride multiple times. Especially since the line moves pretty quick too. I love the locker system. You'll carry your items with you into the first half of the line. Then you will place them into the free, small lockers and head through the metal detectors and up to the second half of the line before the loading area. When you exit the ride, you pass through the other side of the lockers where you can gather your items. So make sure you push everything far in on the way in so you don't miss anything when you leave. This design makes for a much more efficient line and locker experience. They really thought of everything with this ride! read more
For all the adrenaline seekers out there, this ride is a MUST as it probably is the best rollercoaster in all of Islands of Adventure! But don't take it from me, a person who is too scared to ride rollercoasters. Take it from my group of 7 friends who rode it for the very first time on the very first day of our trip and couldn't stop talking about it for the remainder of the week and still consider it one of the highlights of the trip and one of the best rides they rode in all the theme parks we visited in Orlando! Also take it from the gift shop employee I talked to while I waited for my friends to finish riding the Velocicoaster who said that after this coaster opened, it just narrowly bumped Hagrid's ride out of first place in his opinion. I can attest that the line for this ride is relatively entertaining as well. The beginning portions are pretty boring as it's just a lot of snaked lines in the same general area, but once you get up to the raptors statue at the front and start going inside the building, that's where the line gets more interesting and immersive with props, videos, and characters from the Jurassic Park/World universe for you to enjoy! You can exit the line at the locker area, which is the final stop before queueing up to get onto the ride and the stairs will put you out right next to the exit and gift shop area where you can wait for your party. From this point of exit though, there seems to still be a bit of a line before people get on the ride as I was waiting down by the gift shop for quite a while before my friends came out! read more

Let me just say that this is one of the first coasters I've ridden after a 15-year hiatus of no coasters. I'm not a fan of coasters mainly because of the steep drops. I went on this one because my daughter didn't want to ride alone. It REALLY took a lot for me to do this because while standing in line you can't help but notice a BIG steep drop! You automatically assume that ok when you take off you're going to be blasted and then go take that drop. Nope!! Not on this coaster. The drop comes mid ride which is actually pretty cool! It's not as bad as having it in the beginning because you're already in the motions of zooming down the track. This ride is pretty amazing! It's my second favorite only to Hagrids. But they are sort of in different classes. This goes upside down and it's FAST! You think you're going fast until you pick up even more speed mid ride to then make it up that steep climb to zoom back down then over the water while being upside down and so cool! This coaster has lap restraints which made me a bit uneasy in the beginning because I've not ridden a coaster like this before. I'm used to the over the shoulder restraints! But I do have to say that this is much more comfortable and makes you feel more of a rich like you're flying. The majority of the wait line is indoor and air conditioned. There is a small portion that if the line is long enough will be outside but it moves quick and you'll be indoor in no time. Really cool is that they have lockers available before you board the ride. So you can place your belongings in there. Which they do make you remove everything from your pockets also. And you'll want to because I can tell ya that it'd probably fall out with how fast and loopy this ride is. I'll definitely be riding this more. If I can do it you can do it lol. read more

Amazing ride! So much airtime. It's the complete package. Airtime, intensity, inversions. My favorite part is the top hat and stall that follows right after. Best ride in Florida, my number one for every ride I've been on! Would recommend. read more

This ride blends thrill ride and theme ride really well. Main downside is that it often has a long wait time as a result. The line has plenty of videos and displays to keep the line at least a little interesting. The ride itself goes through the velociraptor paddock so lots to see during the ride itself as well as lots of sound effects. It's very fast so certainly a roller coaster as well. Not suitable for all ages. You will need to store everything, even fanny packs, in a free ride locker. The locker uses either a paper park ticket or a locker ticket from the crew. You will also walk through a metal detector so no skipping the lockers. Overall it is a very fun ride. read more
