Velocicoaster is a great ride with unbelievable theming, but the intensity leaves something to be desired. The first half is full of fun little dips and turns, but nothing crazy. The 2nd half definitely dials it up, but still every element felt weaker than I'd expect from intamin. Well, other than the mosasaurus roll which deserves all the hype it gets.

When I say lap bar as a con, I do indeed mean the new lap bars fitted for 2024. Skyrush was my #1 for years and years, but the new lap bars and bracin...

When I say lap bar as a con, I do indeed mean the new lap bars fitted for 2024. Skyrush was my #1 for years and years, but the new lap bars and bracing take away the genuinely scary laterals that the 2nd half of the ride used to have. It's still a great ride, but it's nothing beyond an average intamin hyper now, a shell of what it used to be.

Such a unique layout for an RMC, and it works phenomenally. Laterals, whip, and ejector all blend together into something beyond words. My only compla...

Such a unique layout for an RMC, and it works phenomenally. Laterals, whip, and ejector all blend together into something beyond words. My only complaint is the final transition into the brakes, it's just uncomfortable. But that's minor enough to make this my #2 overall, it's essentially perfect otherwise.

This has the single strongest moment of laterals I've ever felt on a coaster. Ride in one of the front two rows alone to see god. It's miraculously...

This has the single strongest moment of laterals I've ever felt on a coaster. Ride in one of the front two rows alone to see god. It's miraculously smooth with solid airtime as well, and funky single position lap bars. Make the trip here if you're in NYC, it's worth it.

It really does feel like riding shopping cart being thrown down a flight of stairs. The hard fiberglass lap bar gave me nasty bruises on my hips from ...

It really does feel like riding shopping cart being thrown down a flight of stairs. The hard fiberglass lap bar gave me nasty bruises on my hips from getting bashed around so hard. I went for a 2nd ride to see if it was just a fluke, and that ride was even worse.

Great little stand up, very intense with some funky forces. The first drop has great floater, and the second half whips you around close to the ground...

Great little stand up, very intense with some funky forces. The first drop has great floater, and the second half whips you around close to the ground. I just wish there was more of it.

Fantastic hyper, most abundant floater of any coaster I've ridden, and b&m clamshells are wonderful as always. It's super fun flying along the river a...

Fantastic hyper, most abundant floater of any coaster I've ridden, and b&m clamshells are wonderful as always. It's super fun flying along the river and watching huge ships navigate the St Lawrence Seaway. There is a persistent rattle in the valleys that has gotten noticably worse over the last few years.

Didn't expect this to be the best ride for positives at prater (yes, better than Olympia Looping) The only problem I had was getting a bit dizzy fr...

Didn't expect this to be the best ride for positives at prater (yes, better than Olympia Looping) The only problem I had was getting a bit dizzy from the super long helices, but that's a minor gripe.

Single train shuttle coaster at great adventure is comical, but the ride itself is generally disappointing as well. It's an incredible ride for hangti...

Single train shuttle coaster at great adventure is comical, but the ride itself is generally disappointing as well. It's an incredible ride for hangtime, but that's not my favorite. The launches and airtime are weak and there's a surprising lack of whip on the far turnaround, even in the back row. It is flawlessly smooth with fantastic vest restraints though.
