Ride Guide: Jurassic World VelociCoaster

Jurassic World VelociCoaster

The VelociCoaster sure lives up to the statement: “More speed, more thrill, more teeth!” The VelociCoaster is a high-speed thrilling ride that puts you face-to-face with some of Jurrasic World’s Velociraptors. If you are up for this unique adventure, be prepared for two launches with maximum speeds of 70mph, sharp turns, sudden drops, and several inversions – one going over the lake! This rollercoaster is an all-time favorite for many, and I’m sure it could be your new favorite, too!

Located in Jurassic Park of Universal’s Islands of Adventure. If you take the main Jurrasic park entrance approach, the ride entrance will be in sight on the first left you take in that area. You can also go through Dr. Suess Land and past Poisiden’s Fury to the big bridge as an alternative way to get to the ride.
