After heading back in time to look at Triceratops Encounter on our previous Expedition. This time we look at what replaced it. The Creation & Evolution of the apex predator of roller coasters. Jurassic World VelociCoaster. This new Intamin Blitz/LSM Launch coaster took thrills to the next level at Universal's Islands of Adventure as a replacement for Dueling Dragons.
Now the park that saw very little change for years has two Intamin roller coasters right next door to each other? Could this be one of the best coasters in Florida? Join the Expedition to take a look.

Got the chance to go on opening day. It's seriously a coaster that LIVES UP TO THE HYPE. No review can truly tell how incredible this coaster is. I rode velocicoaster 6 times and I still cannot get over the experience. One of the greatest roller coasters ever built. And I don't know how it's possible for intamin to top it.

@Howlingburd19 2 года назад

I went on the coaster two weeks ago, and I’m STILL shocked at how amazing it was! It heavily over-exceeded my expectations, probably either this or Steel Vengeance gets my pick for the best roller coaster (although I’d say for the overall experience, it’s arguable VelociCoaster is better because of the queue and theming)

I just wish they had found a way to keep Dueling Dragons along with all the expansions. Not only it had some of the best theming in the part in the queue but the ride itself, specially with two full riders on both tracks simultaneously, was a terrific experience. Incredible Hulk, Velocicoaster, and Dueling Dragons would have made for a killer trifecta of coasters (with Hagwrith -or however it is spelled- making for a good family alternative).

@ExpeditionThemePark 3 года назад

@connorbrechbill6516 11 месяцев назад

Dueling Dragons got the send off it deserved though. It got two superior successors in Hagrids and Velocicoaster, and it’s getting it’s spiritual successor in Starfall Racers at Edge of Tomorrow. It’s crazy how much Universal has changed. I last visited the park back in 02 when I was 11 years old for a class trip before I visited last week and the amount additions Universal made is crazy. The resorts alone are fantastic (stayed at Cabana Bay. Highly recommend) but the three parks themselves are so different than what Universal used to be. When I was a kid, Universal mostly focused on simulation rides like Back to the Future, Terminator and MIB while also focusing on studio effect rides such as Jaws, King Kong and ET. While the spirit of those rides exist, Islands of Adventure added the thrill aspect to the parks when it first opened, but at the time it opened, it was still closer to a Cedar Fair/Busch Gardens type theming than it is now (albeit Dueling Dragons paved the way for the Theming becoming much more immersive) Now, it has two world class coasters with unmatched theming that puts it on par with Disney, but with much better attractions. And it’s not done, the amount of investing they are doing is crazy. Not only did they add two world class coasters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but they are adding a whole brand new park that is supposed to be the size of both IOA and Universal Orlando combined, are adding two more world class coasters in said park, and groundbreaking theming that for all intents and purposes, will close the gap between them and Disney, and most likely even surpass them. I am so excited to see what Universal looks like in the next decade. It’s gonna be crazy fun.

@kaileyallen7563 6 месяцев назад

Can’t wait to go back and enjoy it again!

@harveyrevealed4867 3 года назад

I feel like a good way to increase the intense rides is to expand upon the kong sector in the park, maybe by creating a larger titan roller coaster where you experience godzilla as well creating a monsterverse section, this could be a ride where you see godzilla as a large animatronic outside and maybe a mechagodzilla as well, if they have the room I would love to see this, or if needed the toon lagoon may need to be decreased in size, it is better for the time as people love the monsters and it's more well known than some cartoons

I've ridden a lot of coasters and I have to say this extremely high on my list. The only thing it lacks is a huge drop. I went to Universal for opening week of this ride and was able to get on 10 times. 5 rides in front row, the rest moving around the train. There are no disappointing seats on this coaster. It's amazing. The last inversion over the water/lagoon is unbelievable. It's a must ride for any coaster enthusiast.

I feel super lucky that I’m a passholder that lives in Orlando and they essentially had a month long soft open for the coaster. They did not miss at all with this one. Super smoother, comfortable, well themed, fun preshow vid, great queue experience that I don’t mind waiting 1.5-2 hours for, the locker system is perfect, oh yeah and it’s very thrilling too. I can’t decide which inversion is my favorite between the stall and the mosasaurs roll right above the water at the very end. Never experienced anything like either of those on a coaster. There are a lot of great coasters down here but this one is probably my favorite. I unfortunately never got to experience the dueling dragons, but Hagrid’s is an absolute must. Not the biggest and fastest but the experience is unlike anything else, one of the best roller coasters in the world for theming alone.

@stepforwardentertainment715 7 месяцев назад

On the morning of Thursday, September 14, 2023, my family and I walked into Islands of Adventure and Velocicoaster had a wait time of 15 minutes upon opening. Knowing I’d likely NEVER get another chance like this, my wife told me to run to Velocicoaster, which I did. 15 mins was all I waited, and most of that was in the queue for front row. My first ride on Velocicoaster was amazing in the front row. I would later get one more spin on the coaster in row 6 after waiting about 20-25 mins. After my two rides, it was official: Velocicoaster was my favorite rollercoaster of ALL TIME. From the theming in the queue, to the elements of the ride, to its intensity and smoothness, it just blew away all of its competitors for me, and stood head and shoulders above them. It’s an amazing ride, and deserving of all the accolades it receives. This is how you theme a rollercoaster. This is how you figure the DNA of a great experience, from the queue to the off ramp when exiting the ride. To anyone reading: if you have never ridden Velocicoaster, you really should, it’s one of the best rollercoasters on this planet.

The lap bar restraint which Intamin introduced, was in reality an must have requirement from PhantasiaLand. Intamin proposed initial the same trains as on iSpeed, which PhantasiaLand declined. Phantasialand requested 3 major updates, which makes today intamin blitz the best launched coasters. First lap bar, very obvious. Second off set position of the seats (if you look at an Intamin train, you will see that the seats are not on the same line) , which gives riders a less obstructed riding view and adds to the excitement. Third, raised seating.

@jessicafarber2771 3 года назад

Just went on it last week. I got there at park opening and rode it twice, both waiting around 25 minutes. It's awesome!! The track was impressive (especially when you're over the lagoon), the queue was incredible (including preshow and locker system), and the safety restraints were extremely comfortable. The second time I rode it I knew what to expect, so I focused more on the technical side. I wish they had more interactions with the raptors, but I understand that the coaster is so fast, I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice. I also wish they had more surprises (although the second launch was awesome). Even though Hagrid is an entirely different coaster, it surprised me a few times, which defiantly enhanced the experience. As someone that lives close to Cedar Point, the track is comparable to some of the best CP coasters, but the technology and quality is a new level.

Just got three rides on this INCREDIBLE coaster this week. This easily became my #1 coaster. The line absolutely flew. The wait was at the entrance of the ride and I was on the train in 25 minutes. The queue was amazing. Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time and I'm a fan of all of the subsequent sequels. There were times I was upset the line moved so fast because I wanted to stay in line longer to look at all of the insane details the queue had to offer (not a complaint). And then the ride itself. OH MY GOD! This ride is the total package. Great laterals, hang time, ejector airtime, intensity, 2 great launches, and somehow a ride time that seemed to go on forever. Coaster enthusiasts, put this on your bucket list immediately!

Great video Sam - love the context and detail and it’s a brilliant inside look at this amazing ride. I also love the Jurassic quotes throughout - the mark of a true fan! The theming looks amazing and I love the little details that the team have put into the ride - as you say many people will not be aware of them. It’s a real shame as it adds to the story and your excitement for the ride (I remember Back to the Future was much more enjoyable if you had to queue as you got so much pre ride info on the preshow in the queue that you were really up for it by the time you got on the ride!) Your videos are always amazingly researched but the background info here is outstanding - great job. It certainly looks like a ride worth waiting 65 million years for…..

Rode this twice last week. Fantastic! So much fun. I'm older, and twitchy coasters make my neck sore, but this was completely smooth. A near perfect ride.

We rode it in February 2022 and loved it! The wait time was much better than the 2 hours we spent waiting to ride Hagrid's that kept breaking down.

I went on it opening weekend and i was blown away. One as a coaster lover and 2 a HUGE jurassic nerd. It was everything i could of wanted in more and definitely my new favorite coaster

I have rode this ride and it is amazing. I thought I knew what to expect but it was way more than I thought. The inversion over the water is crazy fun.

@UmbranScourge 3 года назад

That was a great video as per usual! I loved the velocicoaster, my brother and I went for the 4th of July. Crazy waiting line but it was definitely worth it and no doubt it's my favorite rollercoaster up to this day. The first large drop and the mesosaurus roll are the best parts! Obviously had to get me that shirt with the Raptors and the specifics behind that also states "what could go wrong?"

This was such an incredible ride. Every element rolled into the next so smoothly. We rode in the front then the back and both delivered. I was originally really nervous to ride it as I do love a shoulder harness but about 2 seconds into the launch, I knew it was jumping to the top of my favorite coasters list.

@brandonhart1232 2 года назад

Rode this last July and it is amazing! One the best coasters ever made. The theme is on point and such a fun experience. Great job Universal.

The queue is fanstastic. Chris Pratt is hilarious. The airtime in the back is crazy, and the lights on the trains are cool AF at night. The second half of the run is better than the first half. It's so, so smooth. This is a great, great coaster.

Velocicoaster doesnt disapoint. Im stoked that Orlando finally has a coaster comparable to the likes of Six Flags and Cedar Point (which I will get to some day!). Absolutely a must ride!!

@alec8087 3 года назад

I haven't had the chance to ride Hagrid's or Velocicoaster and I know they will both be amazing, but I still miss Dueling Dragons. They were so unique and thrilling. The hanging, two completely different coaster tracks, and near misses all made for such a fun and different ride experience. Although the experience was ruined a lot once they stopped allowing them to duel, it sucks they couldn't find more room somewhere else to add Hagrid's. Wouldn't have been upset if they got rid of the whole Lost Continent for Hagrid's lol. That would have really made Island's a super thrilling park.

@aeroriver0787 3 года назад

They need to bring back the dueling ride idea for kong vs godzilla.

@stepforwardentertainment715 3 года назад

I think that the Lost Continent’s days need to be done. When we were down there in April we peeked in the Lost Continent and what remains, well, is lackluster compared to what surrounds it. Islands of Adventure has begun an evolution, first with Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and continuing with Velocicoaster. It must continue.

@alec8087 3 года назад

@@stepforwardentertainment715 Since Potter overtook a lot of the land 11 years ago, it's needed to go. Since then, the land has served as a walkway to get to and from Potter lol. Huge waste of space right now.

@HookerHeels 3 года назад

I am sadly too tall/fat (not sure which really plays the most) for Hagrids :( Literally the ONLY ride at Universal I can't ride.

@DinerLingo 3 года назад

Excellent video. Watching this coaster being built through RU-vid vids this past year was one of the few bright spots during the pandemic. Can’t wait to experience it in person. Just goes to show you what half a billion dollars (for both Hagrid’s & VelociCoaster) can buy you lol.

@jcr4pr 2 года назад

Done it twice already, and even though this ride gives a sensation of my soul leaves my body, I just love it. Not sure how is it now, but at least on those occasions that I went, everyone were clapping of excitement afterwards.

@benjaminoliver2849 2 года назад

I've been going to this park since before I could even walk or talk. I spent so much of my childhood adoring these rides, shows, and the atmosphere of Universal and Islands of Adventure. A lot of my family has worked there in their teen/young adult years. As they add more rides, shows, events as the years go on...I fall in love even more with those parks. I have a friend overseas who'd never been to the states theme parks and they asked whether they should go to Disney or here. I told them Uni and Islands without a doubt! They've since returned and tried all parks but, they haven't gone back to Disney as Uni and Islands has become their go-to theme parks!

I’m not a personally big fan of intense rollercoasters, but i’m a VERY big fan of Jurassic Park/World. So seeing Velocicoaster on the list of attractions when checking the universal website made me ecstatic. I gave myself the mission of getting on it, yes or yes. Seeing it towering over me when I arrived at Islands of Adventure made me nervous to get on, my sister convinced me to get on. With that out of the way, Velocicoaster easily became my favorite rollercoaster i’ve ever ridden and i’ll never shut up about how much I loved it. It was totally worth it, and i’m so glad I got to ride it and got over my fear of rollercoasters with such an awesome rollercoaster.

@davidwright3827 2 месяца назад

I think I ride it 6 times on my last trip in November of 23, absolutely a must ride, intense, fun, feels like your getting triple the air time because of the seat designs
