VelociCoaster • Universal Studios Islands of Adventure

Airtimes Theming Duration Dead spots

This is a world-class coaster that's elevated even more by great theming and operations. The only complaints I have are that the first launch dies out a little at the end and I liked the second half of the ride after the tophat less than the first half. "Dead spots" is stretching it but I just wanted to put at least one con, certain spots aren't really dead so much as less punchy when compared to the rest of the great forces on this ride. These are really minor complaints that don't affect my enjoyment of the coaster much. This coaster is great in the front and back for different reasons and is a great night ride too. My favorite parts of the coaster are the dive loop, second launch, tophat, and the barrel roll at the end.

Holy crap! I remember going to Islands of Adventure when I was younger, when Hulk was the number one. Then, it was Hagrid's you know what that was the number one. Now, it's this masterpiece. There is so much amazing about this ride that I couldn't list them all for it's main pros. Velocicoaster is relentless, fast-paced, snappy, intense, packed with airtime, comfortable, and looks absolutely beautiful with a beautiful setting. Seriously, this coaster is practically tied with Maverick as my second favorite coaster. Velocicoaster also has a very fitting and charming theme. Literally! LITERALLY! My only problem with this ride is that it does unfortunately have a slight rattle, which is very unusual for Intamin. However, I can overlook the rattle because of LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE! This is legit one of the absolute greatest roller coasters ever built. I seriously don't know of anyone who doesn't love this ride. This, Maverick, and Steel Vengeance are complete package coasters and coasters that offer everything in the book. Smoothess, intensity, airtime, inversions, snappy transitions, speed duration, EVERYTHING! Overall, Velocicoaster is an absolute masterpiece of a coaster that should be experienced by everyone at least once.

Good but overrated. Besides one great airtime hill, the first half is kinda forceless. The second half makes up for it though, being just as incredible as every says. Also the theming and trains are very good. 9/10

Fun

best ride ever

I can't think of another ride that does as many things right as this. Flawless blend of theming, intensity, views, and comfort which makes for the most perfectly re-rideable experience. Even if it's not as 'insane' as other rides I've done, it's just the most fun.

Airtimes Theming Masterpiece

This really is a complete package: Thrills and theming combined make this ride what it is. The setting is brilliant, the layout is even better...Nothing I say will do this ride justice. The only thing that will is you sitting in that seat and experiencing the ride for yourself.

Theming Masterpiece Ejectors

The full package, The best inversion in the world and some incredible elements, from the amazing top hat to the four world class inversions as well as incredible theming , it is no wonder why many consider it to be their number one, I personally prefer the breathless intensity of Iron gwazi, but I can totally understand why people would prefer the overall experience of this ride, Great trains and ops too

Theming Lap Bar Masterpiece

If I has to sum up Velocicoaster in 1 word it would be an adventure. Before you even get to the part of the park it's in you can see it across the water all the way from the other side of the park. It just makes you want to run over there and be the first person on it. once you get into the Jurassic Park area you can hear it and get even more excited to get on it. And then you get to the front entrance you can see the inverted stall, the big top hat, and the theming of the queue line. I also have to say this has some of the best theming for a queue line and on the coaster in the whole park. I also really like the locker system they have on this, where you put your stuff in the locker right before you get on, and once you get off, you go to the other side and get your stuff there. It makes a lot more sense once you see it. and then you finally get on the ride. The lap bars are some of the most comfortable restraints I've ever felt. they're on par with the clam shells on B&M Hypers. Once you are strapped in and ready to launch, you feel all the adrenaline and it prepares you to launch. Once you hit the first launch, it's very powerful, going up to 50 mph, which doesn't sound like a lot compared to others, but trust me, it's VERY powerful. The first section after the launch has some great theming with some nice airtime and some great inversions. But once you hit that second launch, which is even more powerful, going up to 70 mph, the ride goes into its 2nd part. This 2nd section is my favorite section out of any ride I've been on full stop. once you get launched you go up the 155 ft top hat that you can see all around the park, you go straight down into the inverted stall. by the way, if you're sitting in the back rows once you're coming down that top hat, you get some of the best airtime in the state of Florida. after the inverted stall, you go into 2 intense banked turns that have some really nice positive g's. after all these amazing things you go into my favorite part of the coaster, the mosasaurs roll over the water. You get launched out of your seat and feel like you're going to fall into the water. But because of the amazing and comfortable restraints, this doesn't hurt you at all, after all of this you finally hit the brakes. once I got off my first time riding this, I immediately got back in line to ride it again. This coaster is right now my favorite roller coaster of all time, and definitely, the best one I've ever ridden! P.S. Sorry for the long review lol.

Theming Comfort Smoothness Disappointing!

The coaster had two launched and for me the coaster is waaaay to slow after the first launch. It's almost boring. Then comes the 2nd launch and it's epic but the ride-time after 2nd launch is really short unfortunately

Theming Capacity Duration Disappointing!

Alors le mot « déception est très subjectif ». Le coaster est une bombe, la thématique est folle et le débit est le meilleur que j’ai pu voir dans un parc. Velocicoaster est de très loin le coaster le plus varié du monde selon moi, surpassant l’ensemble de zadra ou celui de RTH dans mon top. Alors pourquoi une déception ? Pour le launch. J’ai préféré le launch de taron car celui de Velocicoaster manquait de punch. En revanche, il reste et est pour un bon moment le meilleur intamin du globe ?

This is the best Intamin launch coaster in the world. Layout, launches, theming, intensity, smoothness, airtime, hangtime, ejectors...this beast is nearly pefect in all these aspects. Just awesome!

Location Pace Layout

This ride is just ridiculous. I was worried I might overhype it in my head because it's so talked up online, but honestly, after 2 rides (one in front, one in back), I'm just astounded by this ride. It's such an all-in-one type of ride, it's got the theming, launches, airtime, intensity, location, and I could go on. I mean seriously it's just incredible. The only thing that disappointed me was that I thought there would be more on-ride theming (I went in pretty much completely blind aside from the massive level of hype) but on reflection, it's plenty. I mean, the ride kind of loses the plot after the queue, but the experience is so great that it's hard to care. It would be a 10/10 ride if the ride itself felt as cohesive plot-wise as the queue, but it's pretty much perfect as a coaster alone. I'm only giving this a 9/10 because as great as it is, it doesn't quite match up to Tatsu or Hagrid's' in terms of a truly one-of-a-kind experience. If you like coasters, get on this ride, no matter the cost.

Theming Masterpiece Ejectors

Just the best coaster I've ever been on. Never before have I been on a ride that satiated my love of theming and desire for thrills at the same time perfectly. I just kept going back to it again and again on a relatively short trip, getting both day and night, back and front rides. The airtime is by far the best of any coaster I've ever been on, and that mosasaur roll is unparalleled. Phenomenal restraints, efficient dispatches, there's nothing to not love about it. Though the second launch, top hat, and roll are rightfully raved about, the outerbank is quite underrated in my opinion. If the park isn't slammed, ask for a backstage tour. Learning about the attention to detail and lore of the ride made it even better in my eyes. 10/10 - this ride is my phone's wallpaper

Theming Inversions Masterpiece Reliability

Wow. To shorten some of the scarily long reviews, this thing is awesome. The second launch into the tophat is incredible, though my favorite part was the barrel roll over the lake. This ride had some downtime here and there, but it never took a long time to open back up. Pretty much perfect, such a good coaster.

Lap Bar Comfort Smoothness Dead spots

The theming on this ride is excellent, but I don't include that as part of my ride review. By the third time through the queue, the in-queue videos on repeat were annoying and the spectacle of the queue and ride theming had diminished greatly. In terms of the ride itself, it's very uneven, the first 1/2 is very meh, not many forces or excitement. It's not bad, just not up to par with a coaster that is regarded as elite by many. The launch around the 1/2 way point is just ok compared to something like Maverick, but the top hat out of the launch is excellent and a great airtime moment. The zero-G stall is a nice element, there's an awkward whip element in between the stall and the hyped mosasaurus roll which absolutely deserves the fanfare as a fantastic element. The restraint system also lives up to the hype. Nearly perfect. Overall this is a top-tier coaster, with elite restraints, 2 elite elements (post-launch top hat and mosasaurs roll) but suffers from some poor pacing and a very marginal first 1/2.

This is an incredible ride experience and one of the best roller coasters in the world. currently sits at my number #2 just behind El Toro.

I hate that I can only select 3 pros, this ride excels at everything. The queue is an attraction in itself, but the ride is just on another level. The first launch is powerful, the Immelmann and dive loop give some weird hang time at the top. Then, you fly over a hill that gives a pop of ejector, from there, you fly through more high-speed curves, and all give solid force, and then you hit the second launch. Wow. The train flies up the top hat-giving laterals and ejector at the same time. The stall gives forceful hangtime, and the mosasaurus roll throws you into the lagoon, this ride is a 10/10. My only complaint is the pull-up into the top hat and the speed hill rattle, and it causes some slight discomfort.

First Drop

I know this is the best coaster I have been on in my life. My kids and I road it at more 13 times while there since we were in Orlando for a week and were doing several theme parks. I would definitely tell you to make it a priority to ride this ride. Luckily none of the parks were busy at all so everything could be rode on multiple times and the thrill never went away with this coaster.

BEST COASTER EVER! I’VE DONE LOOOOOOOAAAAADDSSS OF ROLLERCOASTERS BUT I’VE DONE NONE BETTER THAN THIS! 10/10 RIDE!

Launch Masterpiece Ejectors

Front row w Faith for first ride ever, INSANITY... the launches just get better and better, the second is so powerful, and you are thrown out of your seat for so much of it especially with the mosasaurus roll at the end over the water, I thought I was gonna get thrown into the water. And the major outer bank turns whip you around like a rag doll. The theming of this ride is top tier too with the structures and raptors. I was in shock for a long while after riding it and this is my favorite coaster I've riden yet. This ride has everything. I rode it in the back as well and I think I like the front more, I didn't feel like I noticed a lot of difference between them, maybe I got stapled a tad more in the back but it's still an insane ride anywhere you sit

Airtimes Theming Ejectors Rattle Dead spots

It was very fun (especially the second half), but there were quite a few dead spots. The entire first half was pretty forgettable, but it was still fun. I also notice a pretty strong rattle, not unbearable, but it did hurt. Also, I had heard amazing things about the restraints, and yet I got staple hard enough on my first ride I couldn't feel any airtime except on the mosasaurus roll (this was in row five in the morning though), and on my second ride at night in the back row I got staple bad enough I only felt the mosasaurus roll, top hat, and wave turn. The entire second half was amazing, and if the first half were that good it would be my favorite, but the first half is kind of forgettable.

Airtimes Theming Comfort

I think this is the most perfect roller coaster on Planet Earth. This ride is the full package. Everything you want on a coaster and more. Although I do love Steel Vengeance and Iron Gwazi more (because of their layouts/execution) this is still my #3 for how perfect it is. The theming for this ride is (I think) the best themed EXTREME roller coaster on the planet. People always flack on the first half for being too “slow” and can’t respect how well themed it is. And I still love the first half besides the theming. Still great airtime, whip and laterals. But the theming is just wow. And that second half just makes this ride go to another level. The second half does take away all the theming, but compensates for an amazing (and picturesque) ride diving over and under pathways and hanging over the water. That launch, top hat, twister section and mosasaurus roll are just so great. Truly fantastic. Flawless. I love this ride. Amazing job Universal.

Airtimes Comfort Duration

Velocicoaster is pretty much everything I want in a coaster and then some. The layout is phenomenal, weaving in and out of itself and thru incredible theming in the first half and then turning the pacing and intensity up to 11 from the second launch onward. It also helps that the ride ends with the greatest inversion in the world. A masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Comfort Launch Masterpiece

This coaster had sooooo much hype to live up to and boy oh boy did it deliver. Velocicoaster from top to bottom is the complete package. It has brilliant theming all throughout, tells a cohesive story with you being the first riders of a new coaster through a raptor paddock in an open Jurassic World, the coaster itself is MAGNIFICENT with good launches with the second being every bit as good as that of Taron which Velocicoaster often gets compared to. This however is just sooooooo much better than Taron. The variety that Taron lacks is what actually makes Velocicoaster great. Its got the speed, its got four fantastic inversions,its got the airtime and its got the pacing. The stall and iconic mosasaurus roll are two amazing inversions and the airtime on the top hat is fantastic. The operations on this is wonderful with 40 second dispatches being the norm across my days at Universal. All in all, this coaster is an absolute homerun for Universal AND Intamin!!

Inversions Launch Masterpiece

One of the best, if not *the* best, coasters I've ever ridden.

Inversions Launch Intensity Dead spots

Night rides in front -- solid top 10 with intense speed, ejectors and airtimes. It really whips through all of the elements. That 2nd launch is soooo good at night! However, if I'd ridden this only in the day, I'd rank it a lot lower. Day rides didn't have nearly the same intensity, especially in the first half where it felt sluggish. At night, though, the train hauls throughout! And that mosasaurus roll at the end? It's easily the best coaster finale I've experienced but, again, only at night. Excellent ride ops, by the way. Rode this 12 times over two days, 7 day, 5 night.

Location Launch Layout Disappointing!

It's my first time riding Intamin's Blitz. The pleasant acceleration and heartline roll at the end were particularly impressive. However, if this is the pinnacle of Blitz, I don't like Blitz very much. I boarded at the front car and end car. Greatly fell short of expectations. After the first acceleration, it runs slowly. A non-floating top hat after the second acceleration. The quick airtime between two laps is not enough for me rode Iron Gwazi the day before. I hope it will improve on my next ride.

Perfect coaster. There's nothing more I could ask for. It's a "complete package," you could say, it's got everything from the theming to a great layout and some amazing elements mixed in. Every single inversion delivers, including the Immelmann and dive loop, which I was NEVER expecting to get amazing airtime on. I also found the launches super fun, the top hat had some extremely powerful ejector airtime, the zero-g stall has some great hangtime, each twisted airtime hill has ejector paired with wonderful laterals, and the final inversion--the Mosasaurus Roll--has some of the most extreme and sustained ejector airtime and laterals paired with amazing visuals.

Theming Pace Masterpiece Reliability

Defiantly one of the most well rounded coasters in the world with some of the most comfy restraints to amazing inversions only problem I had was that it went down for 1 hour right as park opened then went down for 4 hours around 1pm.

Fantastic job, Intamin. The layout is incredible, and that Mossosaurus roll holds wonders. The scenery is stunning, and the layout never lets up. It is truly a great coaster.

Lap Bar Inversions Masterpiece

Why can we only put 3 pros? Cuz I can literally put everything as a pro. This ride literally does everything. Every hill gives Mild floajector to ejector airtime. The first launch is decent. Holy hell the second launch is amazing on the level of Dragster. The top hat gives sustained ejector. The stall is good, but not compared compared the other ones. More intensity. Then the Mososaurus roll. Holy God that is the best inversion in the world. This coaster certainly lives up to the hype and you need to get out to Florida to ride this beast.

Theming Masterpiece Intensity

This is THE BEST ride I have ever been on. It absolutely blew me away! The intensity never lets up, the coaster constantly takes itself to the next level. The second launch is the most thrilling thing I have ever experienced on a ride. And the theming adds so much more. There was so much love and attention put into this ride, and it really paid off. I constantly think about the next time I get to ride it. Amazing job Intamin!

Lap Bar Launch Intensity

This ride is the best ride I’ve ever ridden in the world. From the moment you launch at the beginning to when you go through the inversion close to the water near to the end, Velocicoaster delivers. There is nothing else to be said. It is the perfect rollercoaster ?

Theming Masterpiece Smoothness

This ride definitely lives up to all the hype, it's about as intense as it gets with it's great airtime moments and it's incredible speed while also having the best theming I've seen in a coaster like this. The ride starts at an amazing speed and maintains it for a while making you think that it won't go any faster (which would honestly still be fine given that it's very fast) only to launch you with what feels like double the speed. All these things make this ride one of my absolute favorites.

An extremely comfortable coaster with perfect theming and setting that gets better and better throughout its entire course. This ride starts out strong and ends stunning.

Airtimes Theming Capacity Launch Dead spots Intensity

Velocicoaster is a fun ride, with incredible theming and airtime - it keeps a great speed through it's dynamic layout, however the first half has large dulls inbetween moments of any force, and the overall ride lacks any strong positives, laterals, or any punch to the launches to make it a truly cohesive and elite ride in my eyes. Despite the ignored con list, the ride features some standout airtime moments where I've never seen airtime before, and the truly marvellous barrel roll over the water which acts as a memorably breathtaking finale, which really leaves you with a great impression as you exit the attraction. So yes this ride is heavily overrated, and certainly doesn't live up to the hype, but the ride still flourishes in aspects, leading to a coaster you can't help but liking.

Theming Launch Layout

A fantastic ride from start to finish. I wish I could have added more pros. The launches are punchy, the airtime is phenomenal, and the theming is world class. I got front and back row rides and while both were stellar, the back delivered crazier airtime. Specifically on the top hat, the ejector is insane. I felt a little bit of a rattle (I think it is a wheel issue), but it did not detract from the ride at all. Universal knocked it out of the park with this one.

Airtimes Inversions Launch

I think it truly deserves to be top five in the world. Constructive criticism- the airtime needs a little more punch and the train need to slow down just a little more before the 2nd launch.

Airtimes Theming Harness

This ride is a master piece. Starting off with the first launch, bringing you into the whippy immelman, which gives some airtime in the back. You then go into the dive loop before traversing some small hills and turns weaving thru rock work and raptors. You then slam into the second launch before ascending the 150 foot tophat. This has a trim break on it, but yet gives an amazing ejector pop on the drop. this drop is sadly only 80 degrees, opposed to the normal 90 degrees found on a top hat. You then slam to the ground before going into the 100 foot long stall. This element somewhat dissapointed me, it gave weak hangtime. You then go thru a turn into a stengel dive. This stengel dive double twists tho and gives airtime on both twists. You then go into one last bunny hop before the mosasaurus roll over the lagoon. This roll pulls lots of g's and also gives good hangtime. You then go up into a sort of s bend, then hit the breaks. This ride never lets go on the pacing, and other then the trim break on the top hat, never slows down it seems. The launches are forceful and the layout is spectacular. You do this whole layout with only a small lap bar by the way. Yes, just a lap bar. This ride is a masterpiece. Did i mention the amazing theming? This ride has tons of rockwork and interaction points, such as th stall going over a pathway. Small things like that just make this ride even better. Overall, this is the best coaster in florida and I think it will beat out iron gwazi in my personal rankings, but i will see.

It lived up to the hype...but after getting 3 rides on it and then taking a break to hit Hagrid's twice, Hagrid's is still the best coaster at Universal. It's so different from everything else. Back to Velocicoaster...for me, it's Maverick on steroids and that mosasaurus roll is one if the best coaster elements I've experienced. Obviously the theming, pacing and ejector moments are top notch and I love the speed on the top hat that gives you a chance to take in the views. Its a complete ride and it sits in my top 10 for sure, probably not top 5, but definitely a masterpiece coaster and a world class attraction.

Theming Comfort Masterpiece

My #1 ranked rollercoaster. This Intamin masterpiece delivers on every front. It's a jack of all trades, it's not the best at anything but it's good at everything. The launches are great but not incredibly forceful, the layout has both ejector and floater airtime. Depending on the time of day the inversions are either very whippy or filled with hangtime. The trains are very comfortable and make you feel very exposed. The ride is forceful but not to the point that it would turn away some of the GP. I think the word that best describes this coaster is accessible, both GP and enthusiasts can enjoy it immensely! And finally, how can you talk about VelociCoaster without mentioning the Mosasaurus roll over the water. It's whippy, intense and a surreal experience, you almost feel as if you could touch the water.

Airtimes Launch Intensity Intensity

This ride is really good for some and not so fun for others. It is really intense, which I personally find fun, however others may not like its intensity, which is why I put intensity as a con as well as a pro.

Theming Lap Bar Intensity

A truly insane masterpiece of a coaster that's very different from other top coasters. While many of the best coasters out there prioritize airtime and positives, Velocicoaster is different in that it's highlights come mainly from laterals and whip. That's not to say it doesn't have airtime and positives though. The whole ride is excellently built into the area it's in. The paddock is filled with rockwork and the second half is incredibly picturesque near the water and over the area. The queue is very well themed. The raptor animatronics are great. The trains are sleek and comfortable. The lights look great and the lap bar is now one of my favorite types of restraints. The first launch is very forceful. The immelman has some whip and hang and then you drop into the rocks, providing a great near miss element. The dive loop is unlike any other dive loop out there. It's so different and easily one of the first inversions ever. In the front row when you hit the peak and are about to dive you get ejected, then shipped sideways as you dive, then pushed into your seat as you pull out. The only inversion I've ever experienced that has airtime, positives, and laterals all in one. The next hill is a great ejectot moment and from there you get a good mix of airtime and whip through the rocks before you hit the second launch. The second launch hits hard. Not as hard as Maverick's second launch but still pretty hard. The top hat is fantastic. You get airtime throughout the whole thing. The stall afterwards is super whippy. Less hangtime and more whip and i'm totally okay with that. The wave turn ejects you sideways and the outerbank does the same while whipping you every which way. The low to the ground turn has good positives and then a quick airtime moment into the greatest inversion ever made. That inline twist over the water manages to throw you literallt 90 degrees sideways. I am not exaggerating when I say I was whipped to the point of looking down the roll while the train was to the side. The whippiest moment ever, easily. One last hop that as great airtime and into the brakes. Easily a 10/10 no question. It has a little bit of everything and is themed to perfection. What more could you ask for.

Apart from a long wait time (expected on a masterpiece like this), great ride with the the best elements being the stall, launches, and theming. The raptor animatronics shown through the queue look terrifyingly real! Great experience recommend for everybody!

Theming Masterpiece Ejectors

I had watched this coaster be built for 2 years. I followed every update, every video on it. And it seems like everyone else did. I had a chance to ride it during technical rehearsals before it opened. At the time, the operators were not accepting row requests and I got assigned row 6 (of 12). It was a great ride, and my number one, but I found it a bit overrated and overhyped. There, the only things that stood out to me were the deceptively powerful first launch and the mosasaurus roll. I wasn’t able to get another ride on it that day, but I was looking forward to getting back on it. Then I rode it again. It was an evening ride, around 7:30, and I had heard great things about the back row especially at night, so I requested the back. The first launch is really powerful, especially because of the short launch track. The first Immelmann gives great airtime coming out of the element, and the following dive loop throws you out and around your seat. The next curves are forceless, but it gives you a chance to appreciate the scenery. There is a twisted airtime hill that gives amazing ejector in the middle of the first half. The first half ends with a curve into the second launch. This launch doesn’t accelerate too much and isn’t that forceful, but you can definitely feel the sense of speed at the end. The top hat gives you a great view of the park, and the drop off of the top hat in the back is the best ejector airtime moment in all of Florida. Following this is a first for Intamin, a zero-g stall. I hadn’t been on a stall before, but I anticipated more hangtime than this gave. Still, with the extremely comfortable lap bar, you feel like you’re falling out of your seat. After that is a wave turn which gives great sideways airtime. Following that is a very unique element that I don’t know what to call. Whatever it is, it gives great laterals and airtime at the same time. Next is an overbanked turn that leads straight into a little bunny hill. This hill gives weak ejector airtime and prepares you for the insane mosasaurus roll. This inversion is incredible and hard to describe. It’s without a doubt the best part of the ride and maybe the best inversion in the world. Following is a small s-bend into the brakes. This coaster is incredible and the best I have ever ridden.

I managed 10 rides over 2 and a half days and It was not nearly enough. For me this is a 10/10 perfect rollercoaster. 7 of my rides were in the backrow and once the ride is fully warmed up the airtime in the back becomes VIOLENT! Big points for me are the forceful launches, insane ejector off the top hat, the quick but beautiful zero-g stall, the twisted airtime hill before the final inversion and the INSANE mosasaurus roll to finish the ride. Pacing, smoothness, the restraints and layout are top notch as well. My only complaint is the extended queue goes so far from the ride that I saw a ton of people line hopping and cutting during the technical rehearsals.

Wowowowowow. What a ride. The speed and ejector are top in the world.
