Jurassic World VelociCoaster
The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is set to redefine extreme roller coaster design, offering an unparalleled experience for coaster enthusiasts and thrill-seekers. With over 4,700 feet of track, the ride includes jaw-dropping maneuvers such as a 360-degree barrel roll above the lagoon, a zero-gravity inverted stall, and an 80-degree drop from the towering “Top Hat,” which sends riders plummeting 155 feet.
In addition to the VelociCoaster, guests visiting Jurassic Park at Universal’s Islands of Adventure can immerse themselves in other thrilling attractions, such as the Jurassic Park River Adventure and the Raptor Encounter, where they can come face-to-face with Velociraptor Blue and the newest additions to the paddock—baby raptors. Visitors can also savor new food items inspired by Isla Nublar.
