When Chris praises a hyped up Intamin not named El Toro: 🤯🤯🤯
Who is Chris?
@@tewsgcdcfgechk908 no I know who the airtime thrills guy is... I love his videos. I was asking who this Chris guy is?
Chris is airtime thrills. Chris is airtime thrills real name and the person that runs airtime thrills
Velocicoaster is just an overall W, Night rides are mental. Fantastic ride
The lights on it look amazing
Hi Seamus
Me and my mom road it in daylight. I wish we should’ve ridden it at nighttime.
Can’t wait till ride it at night ! Only done it through out the day.
Still isn’t as good as Hagreds ride but for sure a great addition
Not as good as the cat in the hat, that thing’s crazy
the forces on cat in that just hit different
Actually one of the best dark rides ever, in my opinion…easily the equal of Mr Toads Wild Ride
Not since they turned off the spinning 😭
Great dark ride. I think i prefer spiderman but Universal definitely has the best dark rides (even if roller coasters are better)
the things were scary af for some reason
People cheered when they got off this ride THATS how great it was
i had the hugest smile getting off the ride while everyone was clapping. i wanted the people to be more confident after seeing smiles.
I'm letting you know, people are STILL cheering after finishing the ride.
i didn't get this, instead i had some dude tell me not to get on it and its the worst💀
I think the best way to describe this ride is "well rounded."
-It has Airtime,
-G-forces,
-Theming,
-Good Operations,
-Great Exterior Aesthetics,
-It's Reliable,
-and it has generally comfortable restraints.
Are there coasters that do those things better? Yes. Even in the park it's located in, it's outshined in terms of high G-Forces by Hulk, and loses in Theming to Hagrid. However, it's rare for coasters to successfully juggle all of these factors at once. Typically, parks end up sacrificing some aspects in favor of others, but Velocicoaster does it all.
Sure, the highlight is the second half, but the first half is still pretty good. It has quite a few good hits of Airtime, and moves at just the right speed for you to take in both the landscaping and the raptors around you. Then, the second half comes and things go nuts as you fly over footpaths and go through the Mosasaurus roll (Side note - hope more parks build elements like it. It's a very simple concept - Heartline roll with an exit shorter than the entry, generating a very drastic whip as you go through it when combined with a lot of speed). Hopefully, this helps drive a change in the amusement industry, much like what Islands helped do when it opened all those years ago, and as it did again when Harry Potter opened as well.
When I went on the ride I thought it was better than any ride I ever rode on, to me this ride makes all the other rides at universal look like childs play
I agree but I would put the word great in front of each of those bullet types. You can't compare its intensity to Hulk its focused on positiven g's where Velocicoaster is mostly negative g's. Hagrids may have better theming but again your comparing a family coaster that basically stops for show scenes to a high paced intense thrill ride. You don't need as much theming when you're flying around at 70MPH you are moving too quick to appreciate it. And 'generally comfortable restraints' is a huge understatement these are the best seats/restraints I've ever been on they are absolutely amazing!
This thing is simply a masterpiece.
@@deezulboy you hit the nail on the head my friend. This thing is overall amazing. I went on the hulk after going on this and for the first time in my life that coaster felt like it had been outclassed in intensity in that park. Made me appreciate the forces on velocicoaster that much more
Well rounded my ass, this ride is extreme
I think Velocicoaster is better themed than Hagrid’s. Hagrid’s has an amazing line and is well story-driven but the areas where the trains travel feels a little meh imo. Velocicoaster has that speed that even in areas where there’s not much to look at - which are few - you’re just mermerized by the maneuvers!
Just went on it today, and it’s a certified yes, especially everything after the 2nd launch above the lake. Imo, it’s the best coaster in Florida right now, but it might change once iron gwazi opens.
Iron gwazi will definitely be number in Florida when it opens it 4 years
Totally agree. I have been on it 6 times and each row was just as intense with great airtime.
It will when it opens in 2936
I still think that Montu is better but it's a great coaster regardless.
If Iron Gwazi opens...
Recently, I made it to Islands of Adventure on a Thursday and upon arriving, my wife found Velocicoaster had a 15 min wait window. Knowing I’d never get another chance to get on this ride so quickly, she let me get on the ride first thing. My first ride was in the front row, and right off the bat, what I walked away with was this: the POV does NOTHING to prepare you for how intense this ride is. From the moment we fired out of the station into the course, to the final whip into the end brakes, Velocicoaster was an experience that blew away all my expectations. Knowing my likes, I expected that Velocicoaster would unseat my current #1 in Diamondback and it succeeded. It’s an amazing experience. I got a second ride a few hours later, with a 35 min wait that ended up being close to 20 because I was a single rider and didn’t want a front row seat this time, being consigned to sixth row. It was as great as the first ride, and simply justified my coaster ranking. We’ll see if Diamondback can unseat Velocicoaster in time, but for now, it’s my favorite coaster ever, with 3 other new credits in Rock n Roller Coaster, Hulk and Tron joining the list as well.
I just waited for three hours to ride Velocicoaster, and after riding, did not regret it for a moment!
Yeah, the first half maybe could have been more intense, but I absolutely loved the second boost, which I didn't know was coming. Most coasters have most of their best elements within the first 15-30 seconds of takeoff/drop-off, but Velocicoaster just. keeps. coming! And it has hangtime for days!
The night-ride on this is the most impressive thing I’ve ever been on. Absolute chaos.
This is a ride that grew on me with each lap because of how it blends thrills and theming.
The mosasaurus heartline roll at night is INSANE
It honestly is a ride that packs so much in, you have to process it afterwards. I know after my first ride, I too was hesitant to declare it "the best". After many subsequent rides however including a night ride in the back row, I can't conceive it being anything other than my number 1.
I got on as a single rider but I didn’t expect for them to put in the front row. Normally when I get on coasters, I start out in the middle and then go to front row. When I got off the Velocicoaster after riding in the front row, “OMG OMG OMG” 😳 😱😱😱
It was a lot to process like you said!!!
I will be going back very soon since I got annual passes and will definitely try to ride at night!
The same here. First 2 rides during the day, I was blown away, but couldn't confidently decide if I preferred it to Iron Gwazi. Then I rode at night and got the single best rollercoaster experience of my life. It can't not be #1 after that.
I have a question, can you use the Fastlane pass on Velocicoaster?
@@LoopThemeParkAdventuresthe lighting in that tunnel during the second launch was epic! Best coaster I’ve ever been on!
It's the smoothest coaster. Its not really frightening, but more exhilarating. I absolutely loved it.
your speaking pace makes this feel more like a lecture than a review.
Fr😂😂
I actually really enjoy his voice. Very pleasant.
The hype was real, agreed to a certain degree on the 1st half of the course being somewhat boring by comparison, element wise, but the raptor statues do look badass either in the day, or at night. Those night rides really do make any potential wait worth it.
Purely personal perspective here too: Hagrids may occupy the spot of land where Dueling Dragons may have stood, but Velocicoaster has the spirit too of what made that ride great.
You had me at “better than Maverick.”
Couldn’t agree more! Having ridden 7 times now including the front and back, I love everything about this ride and was blown away because I went in with no expectations. I don’t have nearly as many credits so it’s my new #1 taking over Mako!
I went in with decent expectations. If you go in expecting it to be your new number one then you are going to be let down. This is comfortably number four for me behind steel vengeance, fury, and lightning rod. Number five is maverick.
Not true I had super high expectations for this and it exceeded now it’s my number 1 coaster
The first half is better than I expected. There’s some really good moments I think.
Front row might push it higher in your rankings, I had similar thoughts from the back row but the front is absolutely PACKED with ejector and overall a much more fun ride!
HELL... YES! The BEST front row ride I've experienced on any coaster. The ejector air in the front seat is insane. This moved up to my number one after my first front row ride, and I waited the front for my last 4 rides. WORTH IT! Also, got a night time ride in the front as my last ride, and all I can say is WOW! Get down there and ride it folks!!
@@folnevar my first ride on this thing was front row right side. I thought I was going to be ripped out of my seat, absolutely insane. Found out that the right side is more intense. Have only ridden front or middle on my four rides and the last ride was at night. This coaster is in a word, spectacular. Love it.
Yea an employee explained that airtime g force is better at the front. We would think that you’d feel it really well from the back but noo
What how? I rode front and back and back had WAAAYYY more hang time and airtime,
@@deadpool9124 the ejector in the front row is top tier! Even the first half is non stop ejector it’s wild! I agree there’s more hang time in the back and the top hat is better, but the rest of the ride I prefer the front for sure!
The restraints and the seating are PERFECT!!! I rode Cheetah Hunt after Velocicoaster and I absolutely hated the restraints. I love the seating in Velocicoaster because you’re basically just barely dangling in the ride. It’s really cool! This is the smoothest coaster I’ve ever been on (well.. maybe Mako is just as smooth thinking about it lol). This is a ride I can ride all day long! I don’t get motion sickness on this ride hardly at all!
Unlike the Incredible Hulk ride, I get so so so sick on that ride! Idk why.
I had the same reaction to hulk after riding this. I just keep wanting to go back and ride Velocicoaster more but the hulk just kinda makes me dizzy. Not nearly as enjoyable.
I also find The Hulk unpleasant. I like intensity, but that thing just gifts me a free headache instead of thrills.
first hagrid's and now with JWVC, UO has more than made up for the loss of the dragons, although i still miss them as each never failed to always give me that "wheeee" feeling on their first drops
3:37 Had no idea Universal had footage of Time Traveler.
Dont underestimate universal
@@AirtimeThrills LOL...truth. I live in Central Florida and this is totally true
Silver Dollar City has the world's best cinnamon bread. Silver Dollar City wins.
I’m an annual pass holder at universal so I’ve gotten over 30 rides during the soft opening period. It lives up to the hype. Only rides I like better are steel vengeance and sky rush but it comes real close to them.
IoA is really building an elite lineup, I gotta get down there
I gotta say as much as hagrids is well received (and it's a good ride, don't get me wrong), id have preferred the original Dueling Dragons alongside Velocicoaster and Hulk over Hagrids but that's just me.
@@gicueN17R0 fair enough
@@gicueN17R0 hagrids is cool because it is themed and kinda intense. It has like the perfect mix. I also like hulk, but I think they could have done a little better theming. Velocicoaster the ride isn’t themed, and idk about the queue because I went in the single rider line.
I spent 11 of my 12 rides towards the back and went in expecting it to be a blast but no overhype. Wow, what a rush! I enjoyed the hang time and rapid nature of the first half way more than I expected. The second half was as incredible as it was hyped to be. My favorite parts though are the top hat from the back of the train where you feel like you're being catapulted from your seat and the Mosasaurus roll at the end. Those two edge out over the rest but the entire package is great.
As another side note, my mother and friend who get motion sick thought that this was an incredible ride. They couldn't marathon it with 45 minute waits but give them an hour and they wanted to go right back on. This isn't just a ride for enthusiasts, this is something most people can enjoy and I think that says something considering how exciting it is for coaster enthusiasts.
I don't know if I'd call it the best coaster I've riden but but it's close to the top of my list. I'll need to reride a bunch of rides to get some perspective.
Then tell me what is the best.
I rode it 12 times. It’s amazing. I loved the pacing and the second launch into the top hat is my favorite element along with the heart line roll. Stellar coaster 🙌🏾 truly amazing
My first trip since this opened I was able to ride this beast 8 times. So glad I did
Everyone should like this but I’m sure Mechanical Amusements considers this ride forceless.
he said theres no theming and it ONLY pulls -1.5 g's. The dude is a clown who says controversial things to get clout
@@Joshwake I decided to check if he reviewed it and yeah he called it forceless. I’d say hes a contrarian, but he’s pretty knowledgeable about the engineering side of coasters. He knows stuff that’s actually been helpful to know on my visits. But yeah I pretty much expected a controversial take unfortunately.
I wished I stayed longer for my visit so I could ride this but had to leave early because of family issues but I’m definitely coming back there soon to get that credit, I’m glad you rode it Chris!
Phenomenal coaster. I went on it 4 times in two days and it just gets better every time. I love how fast the line moves and the outside queue being right under the latter half of the coaster is so cool. Definitely in my top 5
I took this ride a month ago with a very experienced coaster enthusiast. It was terrifying bc I felt like gravity was pulling me out and at same time pushing my face and eyeballs down. LOVED YOUR REVIEW. I would ride it again, after seeing the full track rly helped Ty 🎉
It does. Rode it twice this weekend. The first time I rode it I my body wanted to both laugh and cry. It is absolutely the best roller coaster I have ever rode. It’s the perfect blend of speed, aerobatics and length. They don’t hold back on the theming and spent the money to make it awesome.
This is the new king of coasters!!!
Got 14 rides on it from June 10-12th...Definitely my new #1 steel coaster. It de-throned Skyrush. This ride is fantastic. The top hat in the row 12 felt like a human catapult. The Mososaurus roll is awesome and the crew is phenomenal...Trains were dispatched every 60 seconds. The single rider line is something that should be on every ride in every park. I actually walked from the entrance of Velocicoaster to the front seat with no one in front of me the entire time during the middle of Friday afternoon.
The only coaster I rank higher is the Voyage. I do believe that if Skyrush had these trains, it would, easily be my number 1 again. I love both of these coaster that much but Skyrush feels like it's trying to kill me.
I guess my best description of Velocicoaster is that it's a combination of Skyrush and Maverick.
I can't wait to get back to Florida!
Went in with sky-high expectations...made even worse by being in my 30s and struggling with super intense coasters (eg Hulk)...and this is my new #1. It just doesn't compare. I came off both times just laughing at how much fun it was made even more special by having the best two elements occurring in the middle and end of the ride. I think it's lost on us enthusiasts what it's like to have the best elements towards the end and how by being already a little beaten down it's incredible to have something magical thrown at you. Total win for Universal. Total win for the coaster community. I'll take this ride over pretty much anything else out there.
Did you ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey when you were there? Phenomenal ride though it’s not a coaster.
I think it’s his top dark ride. Pretty sure he rode the clone in Hollywood though
Chris has gone on record saying that Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is his favorite ride of all time, and said he would take a ride on it over a ride on any roller coaster any day. Rightfully so, that ride is downright amazing.
He did not. He was a bit too busy with not only riding Velocicoaster but also hitting every other coaster in both parks and didn't have time to get on Forbidden Journey.
I actually have never ridden the one in Hollywood, i rode the one in Orlando in 2012. I tried to find time for it on this trip but i couldn't
I stayed for a week on property right after Chris left, and I got to get on everything. The key with Universal is to make sure you have at least 4 days and take advantage of the early admission you get from staying at one of the on-site hotels
I just road maverick and steel vengeance and i still need more rides on steel vengeance to fully process it. Maverick is my number 1 right now and if Velocicoaster is better I can’t wait to ride it
I’m going to CP in a few weeks and I’m extremely hyped
@@nick5422 it’s really good I loved it
@@nick5422 ride. In. The. Back. At night
I got 4 rides in one day on SteVe, never a dull moment. Can’t imagine how one ride wouldn’t amaze anyone, even after a boring 4 hr wait
@p o o p It just depends if other people have also asked. They don’t want a long line forming for the front
this looks like a certified god tier coaster, looks absolutely incredible
Not gonna lie... that free churro hit me hard
Dodged every review of this, was waiting for yours! 🙏
As someone who’s home pack is Cedar Points, it’s better than maverick
I gained a whole new level of respect for Intamin after experiencing Velocicoaster. I don't know if it's a reflection of what they can do with Universal's budget, or if they've taken a step forward in their engineering prowess, but this coaster felt next gen, and I think that was the bigger takeaway for me than even how good the ride itself was. It reminded me in that way of the first time I rode a B&M after growing up on Arrows.
Yes Top 10! Glad to see it
Hi Hunter! Love your stuff
glad ghost rider is still getting some love im obsessed with that thing
Same, it kinda looks better than velocicoaster. It’s my second favorite coaster behind steel vengeance.
Anytime intamin returns to America people will get overhyped but I’m glad the coaster is good
I went on it a few days ago, and the second launch was crazy! I really loved this ride. I used to be really scared of going on big roller coasters, but after going on Velocicoaster, I feel more comfortable riding other roller coasters.
Velocicoaster is the greatest Intamin has to offer. The airtime on the elements of this ride can not be matched. GOAT ROLLERCOASTER
Well looks like I have to go back to Universal on my next trip to Florida
Just started the video and my answer already is YES. I’ve probably ridden it on a better day because every hill delivered airtime and almost of them ejector in both front and back of the train. The mosasauros roll is insane. I think I’m in love. Miss it already.
Got to ride during the first day of its soft opening. I thought I was over hyped, but was still blown away by this ride. It has so much going for it, got off breathless because I could not stop laughing from such an amazing ride. If the first half had more forces this would be my personal number 1.
Listening to this while updating my coaster credit count
@@MaximusHandimus 183
That count got a top 3?
@@HiCaballo if you’re wondering what my top 3 is, I currently have Voyage at 1, Mako at 2, and Legend at 3
For me it is steel vengeance, fury 325, maverick, lighting rod, then Orion
@@AC98000 I also have Orion as my #5 too
I got to ride the volacicoster 4 times the past two days. A man let me tell you each ride was better then the last one. My morning rides was in the front seat. The front seat you will have your smoothest ride. My night time rides were in the back seat and let me say if you are the thrill seeker type like I am and want to dial it up a notch, the back will be your best friend. The back seat is where you feel all the extremes and the best air times the Volacicoster has to offer. This coaster is a absolut win for all roller coaster enthusiasts everywhere.
I thought it was one of the craziest rides I’ve been on just because of the restraints felt like I was going to slip out the whole time. Very fun ride.
Marathoned this one weekend and got over 20 rides on it. I won’t be the last to say that it gets better the more you ride it
I rode back in 2022, and didn't know anything other than it existed. I love it and wish more big coasters had this theming
Great review!! I had a similar feeling as you. After a day ride in the heat in the back row, easily top 10 but I was a little underwhelmed. After a front row ride in the dark AND the rain: new #1. Maybe not the overall best layout, but I’ve never had more fun on a ride ever. I couldn’t stop screaming and laughing with glee.
The rain and the dark added so much to the jungle theming and not being able to see the pitch black track made it completely unpredictable. Overall the back had more air over the top hat, but the front had more ejector air overall, better hang time on the inversions, and an overall sense of being out of control. Diving into that last roll off of the little bunny hop makes you feel like you’re going to take a plunge in the lake. A HUGE win for Universal and I’m so happy I get this in my backyard. I’ve always called BGT my “home” park even though I live in Orlando. That changes now - IOA is now a God tier park.
I loved IOA the first time around, its gotten so much better since then
You know I think that this man needs more subscribers
Rode it a couple of weeks ago. One of the BEST rollercoasters I’ve been on.
My soul left my body during that mosasaurus roll!🤩
And they handed out the churros because, before Velocicoaster was announced, the UO Twitter account responded to speculation with “we’re just building a churro stand”
THIS IS LITERALLY THE KING OF COASTERS RIGHT NOW….
Row one was like a completely new experience. Rode this ride 6x while we were there. Incredible ride. Great video
I rode the Velocicoaster around 1 week ago and it was super fun, i was able to fit in easily and its very secure. You're airborne for quite the while and the drop is so thrilling. the free churros as the end were really good also.
It was AWESOME!!!!!!! This is the best roller coaster I have ever ridden in my entire life!!!!🎢❤️💜
I came to Universal for opening day of the Velocicoaster completely exciting to ride. I never made it to the inside of the park, got past security and had an accident and ended up in the hospital. What a bummer, I will be coming back to ride it in a few months. I cannot wait
Oh, yeah. Oooh, wow, that’s how it always starts. Then there's the riding and the screaming.
I rode in the back and experienced a slow forceless ride . Zero airtime , lack luster launch . Best part was the heartline roll . And btw best coaster in that park is hulk , best in Florida is iron gwazi .
Boost launches are awesome, that's what made Volcano special.
I already have this guy. You can't tell me any other ride that is better than this.
Whenever I see you post a video, I got to watch it! I'm glad you visited Sea World the next day and rode Mako again as you mentioned its been a few years. Sea World is my home park and I'm a little biased😂, but i was wondering if you would compare the two and glad to see you did. While Velocicoaster looks awesome, some of the hype and initial reviews were a little too much. But i can see how you rank it higher. It is a unique and different coaster and really is a complete package. I've been saying the top 3 coasters in Florida will be Iron Gwazi, Velocicoaster, and Mako. The exact order of those three may vary depending on personal opinions. I'm curious, where is Mako ranked on your overall list then? I think it was between 10-15 from your last rankings video.
Mako was #10 and velocicoaster just bumped it back 1 spot
I like Mako but I think Manta is better.
The front row on this ride is actually insane the ejector airtime on the second inversion is crazy
I got on as a single rider not expecting them to put me in the front row, 😳😱😱
@@jer_bear_stare1643 single rider was amazing this week I rode it so many times in the span of 20 minutes 🤣
@@bufu4777 I tried to get back on it a couple days later as a single rider but it was at capacity 🤷🏾♀️ I’ll be back in August!
This makes me so excited for pantheon. I feel like that coaster is so overlooked at the moment when in reality it looks like velocicoaster on coke. I can’t wait to get on pantheon when (if) it ever wants to open
I agree. I think Pantheon very well could be better. I can't wait to ride it when it opens in the summer of 2039.
I’m at Universal in Jurassic park waiting for velocicoaster! I love you videos airtime!
Did you like it? Was it intense and is it good for a first time coaster because I really wanna try but I’m a bit nervous this is gonna be my first coaster in a week when I go lol
It’s not bad as the first part. You have some turns with airtime, which is very nice. Then there the launch straight up. It’s forceful but not incredibly intense. But then there’s the drop 80 degrees. Down. It has so much airtime, That it’s a stomach dropping feeling. The rest of the ride was also good, with moments that give you the feeling of falling into the water. But it’s not a bad ride with great airtime! The only part that’s scary is the big top hat. But it’s only 2 seconds of that scary drop. Nothing else. Plus, ride the Incredible Hulk as a warm up. That’s the easier ride than velocicoaster. You got this
oh man now i'm pumped to go down to orlando and get a ride!
I rode it twice 3 days ago: in the back row by day and then the front row by night. This is hands down the best rollercoaster in all of Florida. 😤 Your butt is constantly out of the seat. It's a thrill!!
1:59 You can see me in the queue line😂
Yes!!! Hands down the best roller coaster i’ve ever ridden.
Bad news for the Velocicoaster, the wheels have been overheating and It's messing up things really badly. I got a ride on it a week ago and the forces (positive and negative) were non-existent. The launches had no power and you don't feel anything. Probably the saddest is the fact that I got literal headbanging. The ride was insanely rough for a new ride and my head hit the back of the seat and gave me a headache. I remembered it back when I rode at the soft opening and it was near perfect, behind Steel Vengeance on my favorites list. Now it's moved down to 7 until Intamin fixes the wheel issues.
That sucks, hope they can shore that up
Velocicoaster= BIG POG
I didn't mind velocicoaster but posideons fury is just EPIC
Rode this last week for the first time and my nose started bleeding right after. It was incredible 😂 I wanted to ride it at night but it started raining in the evening so they closed it for the rest of the day
I’m 51 & this rollercoaster is without a doubt the best one I’ve ever ridden on.
Ride from the front. The first half is ejector filled, the dive loop shoots you out of your seat and then rips you down it’s amazing. You feel the 2nd launch so much more, and you get an insane pop at the top of the top hat.
night rides on this thing are insane
so glad i decided to not skip out on it
Top 10 coaster & even the wait in line isn't boring. Best coaster in Florida
That second launch was the surprise for me. It felt like going to a speed faster than I could imagine.
It could be 100 and I couldn’t tell a difference. (Granted I haven’t ridden Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka but it feels like you are going extremely fast.)
ok its not that fast but yeah that second launch was intenseeeeeeee
@@zyuukii I’m aware it was 70 miles per hour, but if I didn’t know that I would probably think it was 100 or so from experience.
Kingda Ka is fassstttt!!!!!!!
@@stephanievitale1482 I’m aware. I haven’t ridden it yet though.
I’ve only been on like 50 coasters but velocicoaster is hands down the worlds best coaster
So much respect for Air Time Thrills style and his view of coasters and theme parks, while not always traditional, is always phenomenal!!! Kudos kudos kudos
After 10 rides-3 at night- it just gets better to me. LOVE IT!
Live in Socal, got to go on this 3 times in 3 different days. Each time I got off loving the hell out of it. My wife and I went into it blind, were seated right behind the front, and honestly, its the best roller coaster I've been on as a whole. I don't think I've ever felt as comfortable being restrained from being ejected lol We already want to go back and ride it again.
Rode it, back row (row 12), right seat.
I like the fact that your feet are suspended.
Second launch into the tophat is so good.
The stall is ok, but the megladon roll, or whatever they call it, is the best element on the ride. You see it coming for a second, but it is so tight that you get a nice visual before it gets you.
It's great.
The preshow is hilarious.
My wife and I made it to Islands of Adventure back in April and we got close to the coaster, notably from the patio at The Three Broomsticks, and of course from viewpoints in the Jurassic Park section. It wasn’t open yet (literally soft opened 2 weeks later) but we were left breathless from just looking at the Coaster. Of course, my wife was also pregnant at the time so we were really there more for the Wizarding World but we both vowed that the next time we are there, we ride Velocicoaster. I’ve never had a coaster excite me so much just from looking at it. Just from the views I got, the POV, and many, many positive reviews, I can’t wait to return and rave as Velocicoaster throws me and my wife for a loop, literally!
Whenever I go to Universal Studios, I immiedately go past all other rides and go straight to Velocicoaster.. better than any cup of coffee! lol
Phenomenal ride easily the best coaster I’ve ever done and it’s a massive W for universal
Great video! The theming on the coaster is great! Looks like a great coaster!
Love ya, Chris! You're the man, brother
That was a fun ride.. love how the barrel roll at the end is along side the queue line too.
IT ALREADY LOOKS CRAZY ENOUGH ON VIDEO!
I’m going there in mid-July, and I’m trying to lower my expectations. Even great coasters can be disappointing experiences if expectations are too high. I thought you were really helping me out in that department with your initial assessment of the ride, but then by the end of the video you raised it up to your number ten! 😡 😝
I was thinking the same thing. I want to hear some people hating on it. But at this point, there's no chance of avoiding disappointment, as that's happened to me many times. By the time I finally ride it, hopefully December, everyone on Earth will have ridden it thousands of times, which will kill off some of the overhyping.
Best churro stand ever! It tasted smooth and shot airtime in my taste buds
I rode velocicoaster about 4 weeks ago. I had no knowledge of the hype and I just thought “oh it’s a new ride, sweet!” After riding it several times during the 2 weeks I was in Orlando, it’s currently my favorite rollercoaster that I’ve ridden
