![VelociCoaster - Can’t Believe We Rode THIS! [Full Ride & Queue]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/X-7Blu5ue-Q/mqdefault.jpg)
I take this with me whenever I go on any scary roller coaster with restraints like that:
“If thousands have gone on this and the restraint has kept them safe, it will keep me safe”
Same! Ofcourse it's safe because they test it so many times... but I still prefer shoulder restraints 😭
@@tish733 SAME
@@tish733 I guess you hate good rides then, Lap bars are the best in the whole world, especially Intamin and B&M's T-bars. So freeing and open, lots of airtime, lots of comfort, no pain
I went on it and I'm fine
@@tish733 Same thoooo
You need to do this type of video for every rollercoaster in universal, maybe even disney if you have the chance. This could help alot of people including me when it comes to riding rollercoasters.
Yup. I just went to check for a play list of scaredy-cat videos. I’d watch them all!,
no its bad and like bruh it ruins the experience bc yeah
True
@eggy Patrick I agree
literally every rollercoaster at disney is fine and the only one id consider intense is rockin rollercoaster
Rode it twice, once in front and once in back. I can say that the back is scarier than the front. Especially the top hat, which whips you over and ejects you in the back way more than the front. I preferred the front for the view and being able to anticipate the next elements, but the back is more intense. And that heartline roll is no joke. Definitely the scariest (and most thrilling) element I've ever experienced on any coaster.
You really feel like youre about to dive straight into the water fr. Its great i rode it yesterday
@midlife coastercrisis its makes hulk feel like childs play haha
I rode it 3 times and I like the front the most it was best at night tho defiantly worth the wait even tho the wait wasent that long tbh
My first ride on it, back seat. Holy hell scared the shot out of me.
i rode the in the back for the first time a few weeks ago and i was so shocked with how much you get thrown out of your seat at the drop than when you’re more towards the front
I went on this ride a couple weeks ago. It was my first major roller coaster, I didn’t know how extreme it was, I barely even knew it existed before I went. That was probably the greatest ride I’ve ever been on in my life (so far). Every fear I’ve ever had of roller coasters literally melted off the moment the ride was over. I’d do anything to ride it again soon.
I pretty much had the exact same experience.
This is reassuring for me! I genuinely want to ride this. My goal is Hulk first but my ultimate goal is Velocicoaster
Usually it’s the hulk that’s everybody’s first upside down rollercoaster🤷🏾♀️ glad you had fun
@@tamesechristian6020 i actually haven’t braved Hulk yet but will in November. Hopefully then i can do Velocicoaster
I haven never ridden a large coaster before. And I am saving that for this ride. My dad wants me to get over my fear by riding a bigger coaster, so I have watched povs of this for the past couple weeks and I go on spring break of this year. I cant hold in how exited I am!!!
I rode Velocicoaster twice. First time was second row right side. Second time was back row right side. This video helped me to understand the coaster before I got on it because I do NOT like surprises. Even though I watched this video like 4 times, I was basically crying in line and having a panic attack lol and almost chickened out. I rode it though and I was honestly underwhelmed by the intensity that I felt. For those who are worried about the stomach dropping feeling on the ride like I was, especially on the hill, I am here to tell you that there was not a SINGLE second that my stomach dropped at any point on the ride. I was worried the most about the hill and the launches. The front of the ride was a smooth, easy ride to me. I had a lot of fun, and I got ejector airtime, but nothing too crazy. I decided to get back on in the very back row today because I wanted to experience more intensity, and boy DID I. However, by no means was it unbearable intensity. The launches were definitely more intense, and I definitely was out of my seat a lot more, and the Mosasaurus roll at the end of the ride for sure tried to launch me into the water at the end of the ride. However, I was not really scared after we took off. I didn’t even tuck my legs the entire ride! And for those scared about the lap bar, you don’t even think about it once you launch. It becomes a second thought. You are very secure despite your upper half being free. It actually makes the experience that much better. I HIGHLY recommend this coaster, and this is coming from a coaster wimp.
Thanks for that! I appreciate it I don’t like stomach drops and I thought it would I don’t mind quick rides with twists and turns! And yeah I’ll be holding on super tight and trying to keep myself in my seat
Thankkk youuu
The only thing that’s stopping me from getting on the Velocicoaster is that drop.
Same
the drop is amazing
you dont feel the drop i promise it goes by so fast you wont event realize
You don’t feel it because you go fast believe me
Unless you are on the last cart
The scariest part of this ride is waiting in line in anticipation lol. I'm not a big coaster rider and this is the first inversion coaster I've ever ridden and definitely the most intense coaster I've ever ridden. Super strong vertical g force and lots of spirals are what mess with me most and this didn't bother me at all. I can't wait to ride it again!
i thoght hulk way way more intense then velocicoaster
@@matt_vx1116 nope the velocicoaster is way more intense according to people
This is an insane first inversion coaster!! I love this coaster but if this was my first I wouldve been scarred for life lol
@@matt_vx1116 its a matter of g's hulk focuses on positive g's which makes it feel more intense or rough while velocicoaster is positive g's and smoother but since it has such quick changes and strange elements its a lot more intense for others
Impressive. Its the first coaster that i have ridden in the US and the first inversions. Also its like over 100ft taller than the tallest i did before.
I have just ridden this and was very nervous. So was the guy beside me. I watched this video three times beforehand and he is spot on. It is over before you know it. Do it once then go and treat yourself to a Butterbeer. Be proud of yourself for riding this because it is truly a unique experience.
As someone who will never ride this, I am very much appreciative of the breakdown of each of the steps so that I am sure for myself what I need to do. Thank you for your thorough review
Wait you said never ride but then said you know now what you need to do❓❓❓
@@jjaydxn meaning o know there is no way I will ride this after his review. It also allows me to have the experience through his description. It’s more than enough for me.
@@GlutenFreeRennFairy Haha same for me. Nice to see and experience this way but no way I will ride it.
@@nimbette2 I watched another video from a front row point of you of someone riding this ride, I was agitated and stressed out just by sitting at home watching it.
@@GlutenFreeRennFairy haha I am the same. Lol
I’m 64 years old and rode it. If I can, you can. First time was back row (totally by chance). Second time, a couple hours later, my son and I “chose” front row. I agree with others, that the back row is more intense re airtime, but the front row was much more scary due to the low profile of the front of the car. There’s very little if anything in front of you. Just the track, pretty much. That indeed was quite unnerving. That being said, front row, as it always is, was much smoother. In reality, the entire ride is smooth (much more so than Hulk). Riding on air “the entire time” (airtime, lol) has to be smooth, right? Again, ride it. If a 64 year old geezer can (and love it), you can!
Thank you for explaining how your body feels going down that drop. I absolutely HATE the sensation of dropping /falling and that's been my biggest worry with this ride. I can handle all the other elements 😂 Great video & review! New subbie 🙌🏾
thank god i can relate to someone
Sammmme! That is literally my biggest set back with any roller coaster. I hate the drop feeling. Also terrified of heights but the drop feeling is what keeps me from wanting to ride.
SAME. That's the only issue I have with roller coasters. I don't mind speed, and I love inversions, but I CANT stand the feeling of falling/dropping. The drops are what keep me from going on so many roller coasters
I agree! The new Jurassic Park water ride freaked me out just because of the drop. Worse than any coaster
I’m actually in the park right now and heavily debating whether or not I want to ride it. the first drop has the inversion so it’s not that bad, but there is that tall second one that is really making me nervous, the dropping feeling is the absolute pits and keeps me from enjoying hardly anything
Rode it three times yesterday. I thought I was going to die the entire first time, so I came out of it more in shock than anything else. Second and third time I loved it, because I knew what to expect.
Your shocked because you survived and that's what the music is for to show you braved the drop
This was pretty much my experience exactly. I staggered away after the first ride (in the front row) feeling like I was in shock, but then the two more times we rode it were a blast because I knew we weren't going to die and could just enjoy it. 😀
I just want to THANK YOU for posting this step by step explanation of the Velocicoaster. I can do inversions all day long, but I really don’t do big drops! I don’t like that dropping feeling in my stomach and I find it extremely terrifying. I kept telling myself that if it wasn’t for the drop (top hat), I know I would be able to ride it. We had already gone to see the ride and still wasn’t convinced I wouldn’t be able to ride. Once I found your video, you had me convinced I could. SO we ended up going back, and even though I was extremely nervous, I DID IT! Oh my goodness, it was SO surprised that the drop was not a big deal! This ride was AMAZING! Can’t wait to ride it again! Thank you again for posting such details of this ride! I’m so grateful!
I’m going really soon and I want to ride this. I love inversions too it’s just that drop feeling that I get in my stomach that I hate. Does your stomach drop on this?
@@maddiefr5437 I am the same way. But I promise, you can not feel that drop feeling at all. First of all it’s shorter than it looks, so it happens super fast, and next thing you know you’re upside down. I encourage you to ride it. I think you’ll be hooked.
Yes it’s true, you don’t even feel that drop feeling!!!
i’m the same way. the biggest i’ve rode is a 120 ft and i’m so scared to do anything higher
Opposite, don’t care about inversions or rolls.. love the drops!! And airtime
10/10 coaster! The anticipation is worse then the ride itself. I rode in the middle and I was so scared. Just breathe and close your eyes if your anxiety is bad. I prepared myself for the top hat and it actually wasnt that bad. After the drop I was laughing with hands in the air, but keep your eyes open during the barrel roll towards the end it’s a cool view
Thank you so much for this video! I developed extreme anxiety after having a panic attack on a ride a few years back and I’m slowly building my way back to riding coasters. Seeing this helps with my anxiety and prepping myself for the ride.
I promise you that you will be okay. You won't regret ever riding it after it's over. If I could, I would ride with you so you wouldn't be scared. I know I'm a stranger but I do care. I would do my best to help you. I'd actually be scared too because I've never been on a coaster that intense before.
Literally the nicest stranger. I watched this because I promised my friends I would ride with them and the more and more I think about it I have a anxiety attack. I’ve been watching POV videos of the coaster to calm me down and knowing that’s there’s people who would do that..A COMPLETE STRANGER shows that my friends who I know personally will be there with me throughout the ride
Me too. I didn't have a panic attack, but my anxiety disorder has gotten so much worse over the years, especially with the pandemic. I'm slowly working my way back up to big coasters. I was proud of myself for riding Big Thunder Mountain recently.
@@araisilwenn Same here! I went to Orlando 10 years ago, when I was 15. Now I'm 25 and I'm doing my best to find a way to visit my favorite parks again to celebrate my wedding (it costs an insane amount of money for foreigners like me). I remember that I fainted and had a few anxiety attacks when I was there in 2012, I can only imagine what will happen now that I literally developed an anxiety disorder. I would be so sad if my disorder got in the way of my biggest dream, so I'm trying to find a way around it lol
6:33 Missed a golden opportunity to say "Hold on to your butts" 😂
"I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared, 😳 definitely not scared"
Rode it yesterday its the greatest rollercoaster ive ever been on period. You wont be in the slightest disappointed
@@bunobeatz5737 Thanks Buno I'm riding this coaster next Wednesday.
@@bunobeatz5737 I have a question, do you know which side is better and a faster way into the entrance? Right or left?
Great review, this ride feels like its trying to kill you the entire time. My wife had to rest immediately following this ride. The even had a medic on standby once we got off. Hulk feels like Disney’s Slinky Dog compared to this.
Same! When I got off, I said to my boyfriend “I need a moment to rest!” I was so dizzy after that last heartline roll
Seriously!! I definitely had jelly legs after it.
wdym?? i think hulk is way more intense then velocicoaster
Oh no way matt…Hulk is rough and good but you never feel like your life is flashing before your eyes
@@AdventureswithVP i rode velocicoaster 11 times and i can saw hulk is way more intense i greyed out on it a lil bit and never did on velocicoaster
The most intense rollercoaster I’ve ever been on. An incredible feat of engineering.
Might be the best restraints for comfort and security I've experienced. I was concerned about my daughter at first because she is tiny. She just made the height requirement and weighs all of 50 lbs, but the angle it comes down at had her tight in the seat and she absolutely loved it and hasn't stopped talking about it for the 4 weeks since! Might be the best coaster I've every ridden.
Awesome Mike, how old is your daughter? My son just couldn’t bring himself to do it, looking at that top hat drop in at the entrance just blew his mind 😊
@@thegteam4349 She was 10 at the time. Literally her first "real" coaster was this one. Everything after the VC is a disappointment lol.
I just love that he says they will staple you into the seat then follows with “you will lift off your seat many times”
I rode it yesterday and was surprised about how much I liked it! I was extremely nervous before I got on ,and after all I wanted to do was ride it again! Great video!
How bad is the drop? That's the one thing I'm worried about it doesn't look steep in the video but.....
@@Chakura It's VERY steep. It appears you will fall straight down. I did it once....and done. I was shaky 15 minutes after the ride was over. This is a really intense ride. It is well done, great for coaster enthusiasts and probably the most thrilling coaster in America. However, I think I now know my coaster intensity limit. ;)
@@Chakura the drop is very steep I did not expect for it to be that steep but it’s very fun just hold on lol
@@kiki__5561 .... How bad is it 😂 I wanna ride it but I hate heights
@@Chakura it’s really fun this is coming from a scaredy cat 😂😂 I got on it nervous and came off wanting to get back on and I rode it 2 more times after that .
Oh boy I was patiently waiting for someone to make this type of video
I rode VelociCoaster twice when I was at Universal a few weeks ago and I can say hands down that it is the best and most intense coaster I've ever been on. Even my mom, who isn't much into rollercoasters but who nevertheless went on it with me, loved the experience -- she was shaking by the time the ride ended, but she was so happy she went on it.
Seriously, everyone, experience VelociCoaster if you get the chance.
This is one of the best reviews you have done and I’ve seen in general not just your videos. Ty!!
L
I disliked your comment
@@thelukeguitar0415 I liked yours
I said the same thing. The drop was what I was scared the most about because I don't like that dropping feeling. After riding Velocicoaster I felt that the drop on RRR and Disney's Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest was worse on the dropping feeling than Velocicoaster. Velocicoaster is my favorite.
That drop at Expedition Everest took me and my friends by surprise 😂 It felt like it lasted MINUTES instead of seconds! I swear I ran out of scream at the middle of that drop and then I was wondering when it was going to be over 😂😂😂
Plus size rider here: right at 230 pounds, 5’6”, mostly hips and belly weight. I rode twice with no issues. First time, I felt a little whiplashed, because I didn’t know what was coming, but the second time, I knew what to expect. Best coaster I’ve ever ridden! 10/10. Absolutely approve.
Thank you so much for this video! I finally plucked up the courage to ride this yesterday after you set my mind at ease about that top hat and drop. For anyone out there on the fence about this ride because of that, he is 100% right - it’s so fast you don’t even have a chance to get that sensation. It is fast and does whip you around a bit and that over the water roll and stall - wow! What a great ride - I can’t wait to go again!
One of the best coaster reviews I have ever seen!! ❤ As a woman in my upper fifties (don't judge me, I'm still cool! 🤣), I now realize that this exciting ride is too much for me. As much as I want to take this ride, I think it's best that I take a pass. No one wants to see an old lady go to the ER.
I genuinely appreciate this review, Bro!!!
As a woman in my lower forties, I'll join you on the spectator bench!
As a 65 year old, I’ll ride for the both of you. Can’t wait!!!!!
That sucks, this ride is super fun!
Hey here to tell you that you're never too old to ride what you want, you'll never get younger, so if not now? When? Of course if you don't feel like your health is good condintion then of course don't ride it, health and safety is the number one priority 🙏🏻💞♥️
I’m 52 and I’ll be riding this in Oct., heart attack or not. 😅
Coaster enthusiast here,
I rode this coaster only twice when I went to Universal Orlando because of the long wait time, but it's already one if, if not, my new favorite coaster. I was reduced to a laughing mess at the final brake run. This is without a doubt a must-ride for anyone going to Universal, as well as Hulk. Both rides are insanely good, however I personally put Velocicoaster higher than Hulk for a few reasons. The lap bars on Velocicoaster allow for more freedom of movement than the over-the-shoulder restraints on Hulk, and Velocicoaster has more airtime moments as well. If you are even slightly apprehensive about riding either of them, do it, as they are both amazing coasters.
Word of advice: Put your hands up at the heartline roll at the end of Velocicoaster, trust me when I say it's one of the most exhilarating feelings of any coaster I've ridden.
lol it's my fav to i like it better then Steve the heartline roll isn't nearly as bad as i thought it was very fun honestly the scariest part which isn't even scary is the drop off the top hat in the back row because you get thrown to the moon it's amazing
As someone who was deathly afraid of this ride. It isn't as bad as the pov makes it look nor does watching others do. The ride goes extremely fast that you don't notice everything going on like the drop. The scariest part for me was just around the end, the spiral. Just hold on to the restraints and it's fine. You gotta try it tho its amazing and fast af
I have to agree! Rode it a few days ago and I'll never forget it. Front row, awesome ride, super smooth but for sure felt like it wanted to kill me! I can honestly say I've never gotten off of a coaster with such a high emotional feeling as what this ride gives. A must ride for any coaster enthusiast
We just rode this 2 days ago…it’s so intense and fun. My daughter and I were able to ride it 2x in a row with little wait time. That last roll was my favorite part!! And the 2nd launch. I am already looking forward to the next time we can ride it. And I can tell you I felt very safe with the lap bar.
if i’m going to be honest, he made most parts of this ride a much bigger deal than they actually are. i went on this pretty recently and i am usually a very very nervous person when it comes to big rollercoasters. first of all, i know he said the huge drop wasn’t the worst part of the ride and he wasn’t lying. your going so fast (in a good way) that you can’t even feel the normal feeling in your stomach when going down it. second, the last corkscrew part over the water really isn’t scary at all. maybe to some people it seems terrifying but it happens so quickly you wouldn’t even have time to fall out if you could (the lap bars are way to strong for that to happen) and that was one of my favorite parts of the ride. as long as you tell yourself it will be fun and not as scary as your making it seem, you will have a blast on it. i definitely recommend going on.
I guarantee you, under heavy negative G's if you were to slip through the bars you would come out at great speed. That's the feeling people are scared by, knowing that bar is the one thing stopping you from going splat. And any amount of time is enough, when that force is pushing you out of your seat if you werent restrained you would be moving away from the train and not coming back. You can't start being flung and then come back from that, you're either restrained or you're dead.
People know lap bars work, but that doesn't eliminate all instinctive fear when trying an extreme experience for the first time. People don't all rationalise things the way you do.
@@BlueZirnitra i get that. i was just trying to help people who want to go on but want to hear about it from people who have already experienced it. i know most of that is just personal opinion but some people like hearing all different opinions and others don’t. but i get what your saying 100%
@@BlueZirnitra chill
I can handle every ride there (haven’t tried riprockit, hulk, and this) I enjoy all the other rides should I give this a go?
@@SprainedPhil2116 yes
Lowkey, i just go to the bathroom, get in line, and refuse to leave. Now im not scared. Literally just ride a coaster, and your fear is eradicated. I cant get enough of it now.
Universal hit it out the park with this one the ride is freaking amazing there’s one part that I love is where the second raptors are before going into launch number two but the whole ride is absolutely outstanding
I’m a season pass holder and the ride is amazing! Usually I’m a rollercoaster fanatic, however this rollercoaster is no joke, I only rode it once every time I go to universal.... so for anyone reading this! It’s worth the wait... definitely a rollercoaster for experience people.
I am the person you made this for, FOR SURE. I’m super glad you addressed what the upside down hang feels like, and that it works out to just 2-3 seconds. I’m glad you warned us about the barrel roll because I honestly was the least worried about it. I love corkscrew turns but it sounds like this is more intense, so thank you for preparing me to tuck my legs under & hold on tight. 👍🏼👍🏼
the roll its pretty special, as someone who knows a lot about coasters heartline rolls arent usually this intense since they are taken at low speeds or at the top of a climb. But due to how fast you are going and the profiling of the mosasaurus roll its probably one of the strongest elements in a modern coaster. i havent ridden this coaster yet (i havent ridden many due to my location, but i like reading and watching content about the amusement industry), but people who have ridden it say that the final roll its absolutely terrifying. Luckily its at the very end of the ride so you can probably just tank it.
I'm a passholder and we've been riding this every weekend for the past two months. I LOVE IT!! I also think the roll near the end over the water is by far the scariest part. The acceleration is extremely intense and exciting. Even though it's only a lap bar, the sturdiness of the restraint and the depth of the seat keep you firmly in place. I grew up in Central Florida and I have the complete trust in the safety of any rides at Universal or Disney. The motorbike coaster Hagrids is also worth a go. It is extremely fun!
Rode both for the first time on Saturday and loved em.
I went on it a week ago! It’s my top 1st roller coaster..... I LOVE IT!!!! Your going so fast you don’t even realize what’s happening lol.... but it’s tons of fun and I definitely recommend this ride 100% least gotta ride it once :) I’m so grateful I got the opportunity to ride it and I was one happy customer :)
Thank you so much for your video! Definitely so helpful! Best review I’ve seen online!!
Got on this a couple weeks ago and loved it! It’s definitely not for people who are trying to get over a fear but if you like thrill like myself it’s definitely a must if you plan on going to Universal!!!
Just rode it last week and I can 100% confirm your sentiments on that mosasaurus roll. I’m a coaster guy and I don’t usually feel scared on coasters, and I was chilling on this ride. Yet when we got to that roll, I was laughing out of shock lol really genuinely thought I was going to fall into the water for a millisecond there
Sameeeeeee
Oh! It's fantastic! I was super scared to ride the first time. I have experienced it twice and can't wait to do it again!
I’ve been so excited-yet nervous to ride this! I’m a hands DOWN person that loves roller coasters, but I wanted to make sure how it was for the first time. I’m going to ride this in less than a month! This helped so much, wish me luck!!
Wow! I wish I had seen this review before riding the VelociCoaster. I rode front row and I wouldn’t change a word you said, the big drop is smooth, but I was scared about the restrains being a lap bar only, I was terrified about moving out of the seat for so many times, and yes, the ending was the scariest part hands down. For these reasons I like the Hulk better, but I hope one day I can go back and ride the VelociCoaster in a different section as the front car, front row was not for me.
Agreed Hulk is still the best because it's more kid friendlier
The back is awesome as you get thrown around more but still smooth.
Yeah the hulk ride your firmly secured and it’s smooth
So you like hulk better due to an irrational fear?
This is greatly appreciated! We were a huge Disney family but due to several circumstances I won’t go into here, we’re no longer visiting WDW.
But I’m so used to the easy rides at Disney (Everest was the most daring I’ve done there) that I’m really nervous about Universal and all the thrill rides.
I really enjoy your breakdown of every element and knowing what to expect. Thank you!
I’ve ridden several coasters in my lifetime, this was one of the best! It was my daughter and her best friends first time on an inverted coaster, and they loved it. Have to admit, that last inversion over the water, caught me off guard. Could have sworn my fingers touched the water!
I just rode it yesterday. Its SO smooth and the airtime is incredible! I felt super safe in the restraints, just like you said. The top hat is fantastic on the way down and the roll over the water......completely insane, so much fun! Had to go four more times! Go on this ride, you won't be disappointed!
Did you experience the butterflies in your stomach? That’s the thing that makes me hate coasters
@@DarianOvarian Not at all! Definite airtime, but no sensation of falling in my stomach, even when I was in the last seats coming over the top hat. Just a fantastic ride!
lol i got addicted and rode it 11 times in like a day or to
This is absolutely the Best Ride Ever! Your description is 100% accurate the heart line roll was the only time I felt like I was being thrown out of my seat. FYI, I rode with my hands up the entire time..
Same. Heart line roll scared the crap out of me the first time with my hands up, but then I went and rode it 4 more times in the same day.
@@Kin2InuYasha how did u ride it 4 times ?
@@agustinvelasquez6406 I got back in line 4 times. Did it as soon as the park opened so the lines weren't that bad.
Rode this a couple of weeks ago when at Universal. Great video walking people through this. Hulk has always been a massive favorite of mine and my wife’s, but this truly takes the heap. Hagrid’s is amazing for theming, but even the queue in this one is thoroughly next level. I was extremely impressed with every detail they put into this one. Truly next generation, and I can’t wait to see what Universal does with their third park they are building now. I honestly can’t remember ever feeling this excited after a ride, and the claps at the end of the ride are so well deserved. Amazing!
I've rode VC 6 times and every time I fall more in love with this ride!
It’s so intense! The front row is amazing and I didn’t get as much air time, but the back row.. I was terrified 😂 but this ride is incredible!
The 70mph straight away before the drop was my favorite part of the ride I loved it!
This review is 100% spot on. I rode Velocicoaster opening weekend and it scared the H out of me. Throat hurt from screaming for a day. Can't wait to ride again.
My son (14) and I rode this yesterday! It was his very first rollercoaster EVER! He loves the Jurassic franchise so he really wanted to ride it. He watched this video a couple times to get comfortable with what to expect. He LOVED IT!!! Your video helped!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS
What a great video!!! Definitely helpful to those who are afraid! Thanks for this
I know my brother will make me go on this next month, and as someone with first-time ride anxiety, I really appreciate this video to help me prepare.
did you go on? how was it?
i wanted to leave a comment and say i REALLY enjoy the way you commentate the ride! it brings up things i get worried about, but that other channels don't specifically mention (like the feeling of you butt "leaving" the seat) and the idea of tucking your legs under your seat before intense parts. thank you! i don't know if i will ever get on the velocicoaster, but i am a big coaster enthusiast, and i loved this video (-:
I’m 6’3”, 205 lbs. The seat was very comfortable and the lap bar made me feel secure, so much that I didn’t even wonder why there was no shoulder harness. My son pointed this out to me after the ride was done. The blast off from 50 mph to 70 mph was so intense!! I loved this ride and can’t wait to do it again.
It’s not a you left your stomach back there but smooth pick up speed gets you up and down drop quick. Nice thing is roll quick to
You actually made me more scared than I was LOL. Can't wait to ride it though!
Everything he said describing the entire ride is on point. I’m just glad I wasn’t the only one that was getting lifted out of my seat I thought I was going to die. But it literally is the best ride out of both parks. I really wish my family would have given it a shot because it was so exciting and totally worth it.
I rode the Velocicoaster today at Orlando and I had previously watched this video. IT WAS A BLAST!!! I got the shirt of it and socks. I loved it. For a 13 year old with height anxiety and a fear of drops, the drop was not as bad as I thought and was over very quick, it provided an amazing view. This is by far my favorite ride of all time and a thriller that could not be matched by even that of hulk, hagrids, and rip ride rockit. Just go on it and see for yourself, it is worth it.
I watched this before I rode it and it was very accurate. For first time riders I definitely think they should ride in the middle. I did not feel the drop at all but the angle was intense. You will feel the inversions unlike the hulk but it is not bad at all. It is extremely fast too. Also, it is does not have that stomach feeling at all. If you can ride the hulk you can definitely ride this.
Ok I'm glad I saw your comment because I like coasters but this one may be the one that scares me lol I love the Hulk so since I can ride that then maybe just maybe I'll be ok like u said lol Thank you!
Thanks for the video, i still won’t ride it but am excited for my family to ride it!
After riding the Velicicoaster several times on my visit to Orlando this past weekend, the heartline roll was my FAVORITE part of ride. It gave me the feeling of being in a fighter jet doing tight fast maneuvers. Super awesome icing on the cake to end the ride on that amazing rollercoaster!!
Favourite coaster by far. The back row is so much fun. The top hat feels like time stands still before you're whipped over and out of your seat. Makes you feel so alive.
Great video man! Can't wait for this, I'm gonna be terrified lol
Im going to universal for a couple days next week with my friends and I’m terrified of rollercoasters..only one I can barely handle is the Hulk..this one hell no!Only thing I am scared of about rollercoasters is the stomach drop feeling 😫
You should also try Haggrid's if you can get a virtual queue time....I admit I'm not going back on Velocicoaster, but Haggrid's is not as intense and has some pretty cool, unexpected elements.
I was the same until I was coerced to go on the Scream Machine in Six Flags over Georgia. Then tackled Mindbender in the same park and re-rode each 4 times on the same day.
@@JuniperMB I don't like that feeling on roller coasters. hagrids what scares me are the 2? drops, and when it goes up before going backwards. the actual going backwards kinda too. the drop track I'd be fine with by itself lol. Rise of the Resistance ride at Disney has a drop strait down, and I actually kind of liked it and wished there was another one lol. but I know when I go back on it I'll be nervous again 🙃
hulks more intense then velocicoaster believe it or not
@@matt_vx1116ive heard velocicoaster is much much worse
This is the best review of Velocicoaster that I have seen. I am a coaster fan of many years, yet after my first ride on Velocicoaster, I was terrified of that heartline roll. I was not expecting that element to scare me, but it did. I made myself ride it again and again to get over the fear of that roll. It took me about 6 times until I was able to let go and fully enjoy it. Now, it's my favorite coaster at Universal. I couldn't let Velocicoaster beat me and now I love it!!!
This was incredibly helpful, thankyou! Awesome vid 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My mom called this a baby ride💀💀
Rode it for the first time yesterday, can't even explain how amazing this ride is. Had my arms up the while time can't wait to ride it again.
did you see any heavy set people ride it with no problems?? because I'm hearing that if you're waist line is over 40 inches that it could be a problem fitting into the restraint.
We rode it same day, it was ridiculously good
@@Striljr if youre like a 5'7 ft man and weigh around 290-300+ youll have some problems. Youll fit if youre top heavy, bottom heavy will be a little struggle. But, theres a test seat right infront. Always test the seats before you ride any coaster at universal. They are known to fit pretty tight.
@midlife coastercrisis I don't get why they would wait on a long line not knowing if the seat will fit them. There is a test seat outside the line to see if you fit. If you don't test it out first, can you really be so upset that you waited so long and didn't get to ride?
@midlife coastercrisis by the way, I love your name 👍🎢
I had never been on a larger Rollercoaster before and I was terrified. But after it was done I was like I want to do that again. It is a very smooth and constant roller coaster. You never feel like you're being like jerked back and forth. I love it.
Well done, Adrian! 👏🏼 Thanks!
I went on the velocicoaster ride for the first time last Saturday and OH MY GOD. It is the SCARIEST RIDE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON. My best friend comforted me while we were in line, but nothing could have prepared me for the part where the restraints came down and I didn’t have anything to hold onto near my chest. It was just this little bar above my waist and I screamed “THIS IS ALL WE GET?!?” And as soon as the ride took off I held on for dear LIFE. I couldn’t even scream for part of the ride it was that scary. Hit my chin several times on the top of the restraint but I was so scared that the pain was literally numbed. When we stopped just before the end I thought there was gonna be more and my best friend who went on the ride before had to tell me that we were at the end. I wish I saw this video before I went because at first I did want to go on this ride but now that I’ve been on it, NEVER AGAIN. I don’t hate the ride but I don’t love it, it scared me to DEATTHHH. I swear I felt my soul leave my body but it couldn’t go anywhere because we were going so fast.
WOAH YOURE DESCRIPTION IS SO FREAKEN LEGIT THATS WHY I LOOOOVE VELOCICOASTER ✌👌
Bruh, it wasn’t even that scary.
@@Zman26448 yeah… feeling like I’m about to fall off the ride totally isn’t scary… feeling like the restraints are loose as hell isn’t scary…
@@Zman26448bruh, some people aren’t as good with roller coasters
I remember trying to go hands up the entire ride and that barrel roll over the water had me shook. Only thing stopping me from getting launched 65 miles an hour into the water and possibly dying was the lap bar. Terrifying
Incredible video. I love the detailed information of what to expect. Velocicoaster is amazing.
I rode this coaster 4 times in the 3 days I was there, I don't regret any of the wait, every time I catch my breath at the top and check out the view. it's SO fun
Fantastic coaster! Easily the most exciting at Universal but I would put Hagrid's up with it for theming and just overall fun experience. After those two I would put Mako and Manta at Seaworld. It's a great resort area where I think the Hulk is #5. I can't wait to move there!
I love coasters. Especially fast ones, tall ones, and launch coasters. I'm just not a fan of going upside down, that's what made me terrified to ride it.
I rode this twice a couple of weeks ago. I'm a huge rollercoaster fan, and like yourself, I get a little nervous going on new ones. I felt very anxious before going on it, but absolutely loved it. I also thought the scary part was the roll, going over the water. I really thought I was going to fall out. In this video, you have explained/described everything perfectly.
This was the first roller coaster I ever went on in my entire life! I just watched so I can get my friends to open up about riding it 😄
I don't mind the 2-3 seconds upside that, I mean, it's scary af, what scares me mostis the "safety". Now I'm sure you don't fall out, but I'd feel more secure if it was more than "just" a protection around the middle. Or how are the seats exactly?
I appreciate you covering the lap bar. I lll ride any coaster with a shoulder bar but I’m terrified of just the lap bar
I have to say, I've not ridden an inverting coaster with just lap, but stunt pilot (single rail rmc) has the belt shoulder with lap bar similar to this. The seat belt like part on shoulder slides off shoulder during ride at times, and much to my surprise I was ok with that because I realized the lap bar truly held tight. And I weigh a bit more than I should so I fear them not holding me well. They do. So I feel now with the beginner like version I'd be oknwith lap only. I suggest trying a single rail like that if you can first
Thank you for doing this. Instant subscribe.
This ride was amazing! My daughter and I love roller coasters and in our opinion. This coaster was absolutely exhilarating. From launch to end it was a thriller.
I have ridden Hagrids and Gringotts I really like those rides. My biggest fears are height and going upside down.
Yeah. I’ve done Hagrids, but I wonder if I’ll go on this or not :-/
@@emersonc1476 Same!! I haven't ridden Hulk because of the first drop. Expedition Everest pushed my drop threshold.
Not sure if you’ve been on inversion coasters before but I was terrified of them before actually riding one! You’re going so fast usually that it just feels like being pushed into your seat. I’m also scared of heights but rollercoasters are usually fine for me.
This is definitely Hagrids x20
You feel the drop more on hagrids than this ride tbh. Going upside down is not even a worry anymore on this ride since it flys through it. You won’t fall out I promise. Just enjoy it!
I really wanna ride Hagrids, but I hate the loosing your stomach feeling. like a lot. I've gotten a little better with it but yeah 🙃 gringotts I did pretty ok on since it was just one hill.
I'm more scared to ride Dr Doom's drop tower. This new ride looks hella fun
The only ride I refuse to do at the parks.
Dr doom scares the piss out of me
I've done some crazy rollercoasters before. Never scared of them. Doom gets me everytime. The anxiety I get from that moment you're sitting there waiting to be launched is like no other lol.
@@alec8087 but it's funny I will ride tower of terror all day long it's totally fine for me but Dr doom, it gives me anxiety looking at it
@@thehollowseance really? I've still never been to Hollywood Studios lol. Doom is a fun ride, and is over before you even have time to process it. But, is definitely the only ride in Orlando that stresses me out lol.
Florida resident here. Have ridden it at least 10 times. I love roller coasters and this one gave me chills the first time I rode it. So good!
This was really good!!! You gotta make more videos like this for other rides from other theme parks!!
I am so excited!! I want to ride it during the day and at night
Nighttime would be soo epic
It’s so pretty at night go try it I did it once before the park closed
Rode it for our 4th time yesterday, all of the rides have been daytime so far... I can't wait to ride it at night!!! Front row and about the first 3 rows are the best, because you get to see the Raptors in theirs cages right before take off.... This coaster is both thrilling and terrifying, but in a good way! lol There's no feeling like this coaster out there!
Is it like Rock N Roller Coaster where it's scary but it's like a fun type of scary?
@@kiwikiwi2483 The heartline roll over the water is genuine scary. I've ridden many roller coasters including Rock n Roller Coaster many, many times. Never had a moment like that roll over the water.
@@kiwikiwi2483 I would say so, except this is faster and out in the open! And lap bars only. Like Jim said, that heartline roll is something else! The second boost, the peak, and the heartline are my favorite elements of this ride, by far!
The heartline roll over the water was the most intense part for me. I love rollercoasters and that part was genuinely terrifying. lol
@@kiwikiwi2483 its not even close to scary. More like hella hella Lit! ha you going to turn up on this rollercoaster its hella fast and just fun.
Great review and POV detail! I will never ride it, but between yours and Mike’s videos, I’m good! 👍🏻❤️🙂
Thank you so much for yours tips. Your tips will get me prepared before riding it for my first time.
Went on it for the first time yesterday, I was very anxious and almost about to cry because I didn't want to ride it. I absolutely hate rip ride rock it and I was expecting this to be worse. But I actually never felt any drop not even the top hat. I did 2nd then 6th row and both I felt nothing in my stomach.
Def the most intense coaster I've ever been on & I've been to just about every major theme park in the country. Kept feeling like we were going to go over the rails and that 2nd 70mph boost was very unexpected. It was fun though but it's the first coaster ever for me where I questioned going on a 2nd time lol
lol. it scared the bajeebies out of me
ion know if i would do it again. lol
So is it ,ore intense than the Griffin at Busch Gardens Williamsburg?
@@debpen way more intense. The griffen runs nice and smooth. The first drop is intense but the rest of the ride is fun. This coaster at universal will have you holding on the handle bars for your life.
@@johnn9412 can’t waiiiiiiit
Thank you for this. I watched this video about 10 times and even while i was in line to get on it. Appreciated!
I live in Australia. I'm a rollercoaster newbie. But I am an avid, life long JP fan. This coaster is a MUST for me simply for my love of JP. So thankful you talked about this ride and helped to convince my scaredy-cat side. Looking forward to when intl trave opens up and I can go on this.
