Jurassic World VelociCoaster
Jurassic World VelociCoaster is the launch coaster in Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure. The ride opened in June 2021. According to Universal, it is the fastest and tallest launch coaster in Florida.
The concept
You join the raptors of Jurassic World on the hunt, right through their paddock. The track twists through the jungle and over the park's water. Universal calls the VelociCoaster the "apex predator" of roller coasters.
The Experience
Two launches get you up to speed, the second reaching around 113 km/h in 2.4 seconds. After that you fly over a 47-metre top hat and plunge down at an 80-degree angle. Along the way you go upside down four times, with only a lap bar. The track is about 1,430 metres long.
