Taylor: "The theme for the ride is that it is a ride"
Six Flags: "Hey get your own idea"
😂😂😂
The difference is that Universal knows how to theme and then you have Six Flags that goes to the dollar store every year to put on something to give evidence of a theme.
Cedar Fair be like: “I thought we were good!”
Jurassic World: The Ride
Omg yes!!!! I went to six flags and it’s just a bunch of lame large open areas with zero theme. Just boring all around despite good rides. Tells you a lot when they technically have better coasters but the parks suck. That’s literally only because of theming
For anybody in theme-park management browsing these comments, yes - this is the type of attraction that will literally get people with no intention of visiting Central Florida anytime soon to immediately start looking for airline tickets.
RCT and Planet Coaster Players: *Nervous sweating*
Yep!
I literally decided to take a spontaneous trip to Orlando from NOLA solely because of this coaster 😂
Thanks Universal. Now, because of your stupid roller coaster, the price for jet fuel went up. Do you know what that does to the environment?
literally booked tickets days ago to Orlando from Wash DC largely driven by this coaster
The heart line roll over the water was the craziest experience I have ever had on a roller coaster. So glad I got to ride this beast.
It's also kind of like Intamin giving Cedar Fair the finger for blacklisting them lol.
Yes! Rode a couple times yesterday and you really feel like you're going to touch the water.
It was crazy too bad I only got one ride on it, it went by so fast
One ride and it’s my new #2
Best multi launch coaster I’ve ever been on
@@brettschaft5463 i love intamin for that, and i also had the same thought lmao. the swiss are petty lol!!
That last inversion seems to be the spiritual successor to the heart line roll that was removed from Maverick during construction.
You are so right!!!
RIP Maverick Heart Line.
@@helenakoerner5536maverick still has heart lining 💀
@ok2255- no, the 'heart lining' was installed before maverick opened, it had to be removed due to high gforce and stress on the train so the 'heart lining' is no longer on maverick
@@Deccyweccy8 heart lining is how the track rotates around the riders center of mass
if it wasn’t on maverick then people would be blacking out on it left and right
it's absolute criminal to have Velocicoaster and Iron Gwazi just an hour away from each other
And mako, Montu and more!
If only they'd open Iron Gwazi, they finished building it over a year ago
And that's why I want to move to Florida
Rock ‘N’ Rollercoaster and Expedition Everest not too much longer away.
If only I were lucky enough the live in America rip
Possibly one of my most-if not THE most-anticipated reviews that I've been waiting for! So glad it's finally ready 😄
IT THROWSSS YOU SIDE TO SIDE ITS SO MUCH FUN AND U FEEL LIKE U GONNA TOUCH THE WATER ON THE BARREL ROLL
@@arinewstoday3477 *Mososaurus Roll 😤
As a universal local, I've been following this coaster since construction first began. I went in with insanely high expectations, and all I can say is I was absolutely blown away. All of my expectations were met and far exceeded. Absolute dream of a ride and it makes me so excited for what's to come in the future!
I am so glad I was able to ride this since the Express Pass did not apply and the single rider line was maxed. Very intense - disorientingly insane. Could not really appreciate any of the theming during the ride because it was so fast. It was amazing that as hard as that lap bar was pushed down there was still air time!
So fortunate to say I’m a team member at this attraction! I seriously love coming into work everyday!!
U are a lucky man
Do you get a lot of money?
This is easily the best rollercoaster I've ever ridden. It is so damn good.
agreed.. i have ridden it dozens of times since its opening and it instantly took over the Hulk as my favorite ride at IoA. i love it epescially at night time!!!
@@Sabre912 this ride makes hulk seem tame! i rode the hulk after it and my stomach didnt drop ONCE.
@@triggeredbeetle5370 I love velocicoaster! It easily hit my number one spot when I rode it
I agree it was so fun
Best damn roller coaster I've ever been on
I got off this ride a couple of hours ago and couldn't speak. INSANELY good.
Hats off to you for one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen! Yeah I couldn’t be more excited to get back to Florida and ride this!
Thank you!
Okaycoasters, You won’t be disappointed from this ride
I've ridden this beast 3 times now, mind you I don't scream on coasters, I laugh or smile. This one was different, I SCREAMED on this one so much I lost my voice for 3 days. That mosasaurus roll is the most INSANE element I've experienced.
front or back u suggest?
@@IWANTHOTDOG back is more intense speed and turn/twist wise so definitely what I prefer after riding 10th row out of 12 and row 2
You go into that Mosasaurs Roll at 53 MPH it's crazy
Yep. That roll is freaking incredible. Awesome ride
The fact that half of the review was talking about before you ride the coaster really shows how much detail universal put into this ride
I just got home yesterday from 3 days at Universal. I was sooo lucky the velocicoaster was running. Rode it 4 times. 3 in front seat, once in last seat. Omg!!! Too bad some have to ride in the middle. The detail from start to finish is outstanding. Also got lucky that the tribute store opened while I was there😁
The fall can't get here soon enough for us to get down and ride it 😍
I’m a huge fan of your channel
More like “2022 can’t come soon enough for us to ride it” since people still haven’t even ridden hagrids
Wow, didn't expect you to be commenting on here. Love your golf vids.
@@dratelectasis got that right
I just rode it a few hours ago. It's absolutely amazing
I have to say, Intamin and Universal's Islands of Adventure have done it again~ They did it once with Hagrid, but I'm glad Universal gave Intamin a second chance at redeeming themselves with Jurassic World Velocicoaster. Now we have two of the greatest story-driven coasters out there, and both by one of the most innovative manufacturers right now. Intamin keeps topping themselves with their Blitz coaster model, and Idk how they're able to be so creative with each Blitz coaster layout. But Intamin being Intamin, they've succeeded~~
I agree, but just to be annoying I have to point out that this isn't really Universal giving Intamin a second chance since Velocicoaster was already in the works for a while by the time that Hagrid's opened
@@williambrown8249 Ah I see~ I'm just amazed that Intamin brought two amazing products to the park's lineup.
And the fact they are literally next to each other in the park! 😍
@@biggirldances Those lucky buggers
They lost two coasters when they closed Dragon Challenge…they needed to add two to get the capacity back. Hagrids was amazing…and Velocicoaster is phenomenal. They have a great 1-2-3 coaster punch in that park now.
Can you make a top 10 rides at Universal Orlando? It would be interesting to see how you compare thrilling coasters and elaborate dark rides.
Rix Flix a RUclipsr that mainly covers all of the Orlando theme parks especially Disney and Universal has a top 10 rides list. Check it out.
@@ryancarter2537 thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve been riding roller coasters for 20 years, I’m a theme park veteran. This ride had me absolutely speechless afterwards. You must ride this.
"A bouquet of raptors" - love it! 😂
The launch into the top hat into the stall was my favorite part, but that mosasaurus roll didn't mess around.
I knew you’d give a 10! It looks fantastic and now I wish I had a season pass. Your review was very helpful.
I could watch this coaster go around all day, so astetically pleasing.
This set the bar extremely high for Universal’s Epic Universe hub coaster!
That's the best think I've ever read
Oh we already know this video is gonna get an absolute crap ton of views
def
After it being anticipated for 2 years now, you can say that again
It’s amazing that Islands of Adventure now has one of the best thrilling coasters in the world. It adds to how fantastic the ride is. Great review.
Plus Hulk and Hagrid in the exact same park! An absolute must for coaster enthusiasts
Oh, Owen and Clare are the names of the characters? I always called them money lady and animal-loving navy guy.
As a Brit, I'm so so excited to get out and ride this! So excited for this review Taylor!!!
Rode it yesterday. This thing deserves every bit of praise it’s received. Absolutely bonkers
Best Quote of the day: “It should be ILLEGAL to give this ride anything less than a 10 out of 10!” As a lawyer, I loved that!😜👍🏽👩🏽⚖️🎢🦖🥰
Wtf lol
If this top hat is as insane as u say, I’m pretty sure pantheons will be the best airtime moment ever
Pantheon’s outer banked airtime hill is going to be absolutely legendary.
@@slaughteredwolf People love Kondaa's Outerbank, they are pretty darn similar.
Universal Orlando resort is going to become the next cedar point in the next few years if they are keeping up adding these kinds of attractions to their lineup.
And that’s not including the third theme park they have coming twice the size of the 2 they already have in existence🚀🎢🎡
@@Leander302 What's the third?
@@NZIGNANTI Epic Universe
I got to ride twice yesterday, my god. I’m not even salty Dueling Dragons isn’t around anymore. IOA is seriously the most complete and impressive theme park I’ve ever been too, all I can say it bulldoze over Lost Continent for the Legend of Zelda.
This is probably one of the most obvious coasters he gave a perfect 10 to, that he didn’t even need to say it at all in this video.
Also without a doubt, this is the most in-depth review in this channel! Great video, and I hope to ride Velocicoaster someday soon.
Definitely a 10 out of 10 ride!
By comparison, Hulk is a 5
I just got on this coaster today, lucky enough to get back row, I was scared shitless. I went off pumped! It was amazing from start to finish
"The theme for this ride is that it is a ride"
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit: "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I’ve been waiting for this review for forever now! Thank you so much!
As a big Jurassic World fan, this was a dream come true to experience. When I heard rumors back in 2019 that a Jurassic world themed coaster was coming to Island of Adventures. I waited every single day until I could finally ride it a few weeks ago. This ride is insane from start to finish and is definitely the best coaster I have been on.
The ride looks incredible!! Relentless, long and full of crazy-looking elements. On my bucketlist for sure! A night ride is probably out of this world. Intamin is clearly a front-runner for coaster development. We need one in CA please!
Taylor: already riding stuff before it’s open to the gp
Me: *cries in the corner not being able to go for another year or so because I’m a kid* I’m ok
P.S. the video about Taylor’s flaws and the conversation about how Taylor calls a picture of a roller coaster hot is completely accurate right here
@fioon kilfeather, I’m a teen, I can’t drive and even if I could, I couldn’t drive for 12 hrs, also COVID-19 reasons along with I went there right before quarantine started
From your explanation of the mosasaurus roll it sounds like the closest thing we can get to Maverick's removed heartline roll. Sounds absolutely crazy.
The more I ride this thing, the more I love it. To add on your note, the queue moves FAST! Yesterday the line had reached the extended queue with a wait time of "60 minutes", but it only took around 25 minutes to reach the station. I also found that the regular standby actually moved faster or was about the same wait time as the single rider queue. The regular queue also felt quicker due to the constant flow and scenery. Lastly, while I usually prefer the back row, this is a front row experience for me! BRAVO to both Universal and Intamin!
Rode this 8 times on my last trip. Definitely my favorite coaster now. Front row is insane for viewing the raptors and the boosts. Back row is insane because you get YANKED out of your seat going over the top hat. 10/10
As someone having CP as a home park, I think I prefer Hagrid's and Velocicoaster over almost all of what CP has to offer. Yes even SteVe
So according to Mr. Coaster studios himself, Islands of adventure now has 2 10/10 coasters.
And it has two of the world's best dark rides (Spiderman and Forbidden Journey)
IOA is a real contender for the world's best theme park... it's the full package
Seriously this may be the best theme park in Florida now.
@@williambrown8249 Also great water rides and one of the best theme park restaurants (Mythos). Probably the best all around single park.
@@williambrown8249 and leaves its Sister park in the dust. I used to be able to say both parks are great and could not say one was much better than the other, and then in a 3 year period they drop Hagrids and Vilocicoaster in I.O.A. and only add born stuntacular to studios. The parks are now unbalanced big time. That's even with Studios having the better Harry Potter experience (yes it has less rides in Diagon Alley, but as a Harry Potter fan I find the overall feel to more Immersive. I'm sure a part of that is that one you enter, you can't see anything but the Harry Potter Area too.)
@@canyon50 The Harry Potter section at Studios is the best themed area I've ever been to so it still has that going for it. Also love The Simpsons area for the nostalgia. Revenge of the Mummy still slaps. Other than that yea its far inferior to Islands.
After riding it, I was extremely curious at your review. This was "only" my 224th individual coaster I've ridden, but it's definitely in my top 5!!
Great work Taylor.
Finally got a ride on it today, and oh my god, i have never felt more like a coaster is trying to throw me from the train more than this ride. Absolutely amazing ride. Got row 8, and my god, coming over that top hat i was off my seat and my torso was going down faster than the train it felt, good stuff. Makes the hulk feel like a kiddy coaster.
I've been at Universal almost every day since my passholder preview just to marathon Velocicoaster for the technical rehearsals. Every time I ride it I come off wanting to do it one more time. Universal absolutely blew it out of the water with this ride and I think Disney will be feeling those effects come summer time. Also, glad I got to meet you and Dan during one of the days I was there. The updates that you guys made for this ride made me super hyped to ride it and obviously the ride did not disappoint. Great vid Taylor
Great great review. So glad I got to grab some rides with you
Thanks Austin! Tell Ed that Sarah says hi
I feel like the mosasaurus roll is what the heart line roll on maverick could have been
Right, but I heard the Heartline roll on Maverick was putting a lot of stress on the track I believe that's why it was removed.
@@ArrowThrills that and it was too intense
I love the path tiles in the plaza. it's a small detail but most parks cheap out on pathways. **cough la ronde cough**
This tops the bucket list, very, very easily
Finally, clicked as soon as I saw it!
Sameee
You know what would make this ride even better? A soundtrack. I thought those headrests had speakers when I first saw them but they don’t. What makes that a sin is that Michael Giacchino does all the Jurassic World music. YOU COULD’VE HAD A GIACCHINO SCORE FOR THIS RIDE!!! That man knows how to soundtrack a coaster! If he can make a family Coaster exciting (see his score for space mountain) just imagine what he would do with THIS!!!
Oh absolutely, I'm surprised they didn't have one considering the other two major coasters at the park have one.
I bet the Mosasaurus roll is what Maverick's roll would have been had they not removed it.
No. Look at footage from Mavericks roll. That‘s not really a hearline roll and more like an inline twist. That thing was ridiculous!
More like a flip, more like a fast flat spin even !!
What surprised me the most when riding this was that the POVs didn't make it look that good, I honestly thought it was just going to be a worse version of Maverick, but when I road this I was awestruck and I can definitely say this is MUCH better than Maverick and this is probably a Top 10 for me, maybe even a Top 5. The thing that got me the most was I was not expecting the force it was going to give, the POVs made it look not that forceful, so to be surprised like this really made the ride that much better. And of the 4 rides I got on this (2 front and 2 back) I have to say the front is better just because of the scenery, and the longer hangtime. Although, the back is just as good, the launches felt more sustained and forceful in the back which felt amazing. All in all, this is one heck of a ride!
Me: Look at those cool dinosaurs
Taylor: THE DINOSAUR BOUQUET!
It would have been sick if they built this with RMC Raptor track (ya know, since it's themed to raptors)
Wouldn't be as good since raptors are only single seaters. Maybe a T-Rex..
Thanks again for taking the time to stop and talk to my wife and I while you were filming on Wednesday’s AP preview! The coaster is unbelievable. If you get the rare re-launch from the tunnel it’s unreal! I got to experience it on Saturday’s “technical rehearsal” and that backwards launch back into the boost tunnel is crazy! Hope you get that chance someday!
6:06 why do I want one of those in my living room?
I'm hoping the guardians coaster at epcot ends up just as good as this, it really has the potential to considering just how big it is and the new ride system. I really hope themed thrill coasters become the norm, and I think guardians being good would cement that.
I mean like the Guardians coaster layout can be found on Google and in comparison is a joke to velocicoaster
@@garywinthrope1259 yes, no inversions, boring layout, only controlled-spinning cars!
I've seen other videos show more then two Raptor's locked up in that area. And one video I've seen where the Raptor was removed. So it may not always be those two that are in your video.
I love how it beat Tron to having lights on a coaster. They’ll both look so good at night
Soooooooooo you're telling me this video has been out for 3 WEEKS AND I'M JUST SEEING IT NOW!!!!!!!!! wtf RUclips!
Dang I thought I was spoiled living in Ohio, might have to check Florida house prices
I cannot get enough of this ride. Last year I had an annual pass to Universal and even though I live two hours away, I still made it down there about ten times solely for this coaster. Probably rode it 30+ times. My best friend rode it 50 times. It doesn't get old.
I have a son who currently stands 49" tall. I have promised him the day he is 51" tall, we are driving to Orlando so he can experience it.
Also, after riding it 20+ times... One time as we approached the Mosasaurus roll, someone in the back of the train screamed "Look up!" I looked up, which means as I was upside down in the roll, I was staring into the lake, which was terrifying because it's so close. I still can't get over how the Mosasaurus roll feels like it is trying to fling you outta the train into the water. It always evokes a different kind of scream from the riders.
Never clicked faster! We can't wait for this thing
intamin opened 2 of the best coasters in the world (Kondaa and VelociCoaster) in a of a couple of weeks. Wow...
And possibly Pantheon too in the same season
Just got back from it. As someone who has been on many coasters, I can say for sure that this is the greatest roller coaster I have ever been on. It is INTENSE! But smooth as butter. It is worth every second of wait time and you will never forget the first time you rode it.
This is gonna have the best airtime in florida until Ice Breaker opens and then that'll have the best airtime in florida until Iron Gwazi opens.
Rode this for the first time today. It was utterly amazing. I literally walked out of this ride when it was over totally blown away. Had to sit for an hour afterwards to be able to absorb mentally and physically what I just experienced.
A lot of the things you say about this coaster makes it sound like it is Taiga, but with better theming and lots of near misses.
Taiga's launces aren't as strong as Taron's, for example, but they aren't slow.
Taiga's stall is not the highlight of the ride.
Taiga has pops of airtime in a lot of places.
Taiga is forceful but not too forceful.
Looking at the past few years each step of Taron -> Steel Dolphin -> Taiga -> Velocicoaster adds something new or improved. Now Pantheon will add a back and forth launch. I really have to get to Toutatis when that thing opens.
Personally, when I saw that final heartline roll, my thought was: the removed heartline from Maverick.
Same 😭
I love and hate this coaster, the theming is impeccable, but I get incredibly motion sick and threw up for 30 minutes after the ride. If I could handle rollercoasters, this ride would be one of the best things I've ever done.
I’m so glad this lived up to the hype. Cannot WAIT to fly over from England and ride it
This thing was so fast and crazy that I didn’t even feel the huge, intimidating-looking drop. It’s just nonstop chaos I love it
I’ve dodged so many spoilers waiting for this video. I don’t even know the layout fully yet😅
literally the best roller coaster ever. period. i rode this at night with my little brother front row and that was literally the happiest moment of my life. i felt so ridiculously high.
Velocicoaster looks absolutely amazing!
As someone who finally went on this ride only a few weeks ago I have to say the ride itself doesn't agree with me lol. I think I found the level of G-force that my body does not like, and this ride expresses that proudly. For me the ride is almost too aggressive to really enjoy unless I have serious adrenaline at the time. Its an unforgettable experience dont get me wrong, but just disclaimer this ride prides itself on giving you a feeling you may fall out of your seat lol.
Exactly one month left :)
My number one favorite ride! Although I still haven't visited cedar point or any sea world parks so it may be beaten by another ride someday.
Once I saw this I clicked faster than a lightning strike.
This Roller Coaster looks absolutely insane!! I can't wait to eventually get on this 👌 awesome review Tay! Got me hyped! 🔥
Ima just say, if you like speed definitely go in the back, if you don’t like speed that much as others and like to see the pov, go in the front.
I have never been so sad to live in sweden as a 12yo in my entire life. I also recently figured out cedar point has a giga and 17 roller coasters...
I dont like rollercoster drops above about 50 feet or so, but i rode this and it was so good that i really didn't care about the drop and enjoyed it
Waited almost 3 hours to ride on opening day, but by far worth it and is the best coaster I’ve ridden.
I rode this ride twice while on a school trip (which was my first roller coaster btw) and this is the best ride that I have ever been on.
I had it in my top two. Just wanted to watch a video where someone validated that for me. Thanks.
when I rode it messed up and on the second launch to get enough speed they had to launch us backwards then forwards
My new favorite coaster! Great review.
Thanks Alicia!
Rode this yesterday. It is no joke. I felt like I was going to fly out of my seat on every element.
I think only Universal has the audacity to combine theming, storytelling, and thrills into one ride. Disney has fantastic themed rides and stories, but they lack thrills for the most part. Six Flags skimps out on theming, same with Cedar Fair (though they are getting better). SeaWorld and Herschend tend to do nice-looking queues, but are not quite as extensive as Universal’s.
On a side note, I think six coasters this year can potentially break into your top 25: this, Kondaa, Ride to Happiness, Iron Gwazi, Pantheon and Jersey Devil. It’s crazy to think of
Velocicoaster is a great name to name a Jurassic Park/World roller coaster! By the way, the theming is reminding me on some Star Wars attractions from every Disney Park.
Awesome Stuff!! Riding It Next Week 🌴 🦕
Finally got to ride it today. After a back row ride in the mid day heat, I was impressed, and was definitely considering putting it in my top 10. After a night time ride, front row, in the rain (I wish they could always have rain on this ride - it completely fits the theme): new number one. Hands down the single best coaster experience I’ve ever had. I couldn’t stop screaming and laughing with glee!!
I bought a BG/SW platinum pass this year and skipped Universal. Boy did I back the wrong horse on that one. This makes this park top-tier in the world now. I don’t know what they’ll do at the Studios to top this. Just amazing.
A special kudos to Intamin for following through on their promise to make EVERY seat ridable for any size guest. I’m 6’1, 275 lbs and I was not only comfortable, but getting insane ejector air and hang time throughout. I think Intamin beat Mack rides for most comfortable trains. I can’t say thank you enough. As someone who can barely squeeze into most coasters, it’s great to see a company rethink their design and make it comfortable and safe for everyone.
Going to Halloween horror nights first weekend in October and can’t wait to ride it.
I was hoping this one was going to be good. I really enjoyed Hagrids, but this was the thrilling coaster IOA needed after losing the Dragons. After riding it…one word came to mind. Relentless. It doesn’t let up. It’s fun and intense from start to finish. Out of the roughly 300 coasters I’ve ridden, this is definitely in my top 10…maybe even top 5. Such a good ride.
The amount of air time is insane, and I've riden Phantom's Revenge and Mystic Timbers. I hope to ride in or near the front over the next few days but this coaster is an easy 10/10.
This coaster and everything about it is 10/10, best coaster I’ve ever ridden even the queue was the best one I’ve experienced lmao
i had extremely high expectations
this thing still blew me away
