I will never forget the first time I rode this. My expectations were sky high, but Velocicoaster managed to exceed them in every way possible. The theming is absolutely incredible, and the animatronics in the queue are very impressive. The pre-show is great, and it's also very entertaining. I also love the station, and I like the big glass wall that gives an incredible view of the ride going through its layout. The first half is great, and the buildup for the launch is really exciting. There are a lot of moments where you get ejector airtime, and the raptor statues in the paddock are great near misses. But the second launch is where things get even better. It feels like you're entering another dimesion during the second launch, and shooting up into the airtime filled top hat with the incredible view is an experience like no other. The second half is even better than the first, as you're flying past the pathways and going over the water. And the mosasaurus roll right over the water is absolutely amazing. If you put your hands up during that inversion you feel like you can touch the water, and it's an absolutely amazing way to end an amazing ride. Overall, this ride is something everyone should experience at least once, even if you don't like roller coasters. Velocicoaster is worth the price of admission alone, and you have to go to Islands of Adventure and ride it.

I rode this for my first time a few years ago, and I ride it every time I go to SeaWorld. There is a slight rattle, but it's not as bad as people say it is. The back is a little rough though. It's a very fun and intense B&M looper, that always has a 5 minute wait. Don't slack on riding Kraken, even if there are better rides in the park.
