Based on the film franchise, Jurassic World, a new and intense rollercoaster is coming to Universal Orlando Resort in summer 2021. The resort just teased the public with a first look at the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, which is set to be the most thrilling and intense rollercoaster ever.
Coming In Summer 2021
The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is coming to Universal’s Islands of Adventure in summer of 2021. This will be the tallest and fastest coaster ever in Florida. Universal recently shared an image of the ride vehicle that guests will sit in. It is a futuristic blue and silver pod, complete with vibrant lights and the obligatory raptor scratches.
The new experience promises the most “intense maneuvers” that will send guests catapulting up to 70 miles per hour and more than 150 feet into the air. The experience will also feature an original storyline that expands on the Jurassic World movies. Get an idea of the sheer height from the teaser image below.
Even better, the VelociCoaster features the original cast of the movies, with Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing and BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu. Riders take part in a high-speed chase alongside a pack of velociraptors.

The ride spans more than 700 feet of track, while the rollercoaster performs a series of high-speed movements. These include twists above the land, a series of heart-stopping “near-misses” and 360-degree barrel rolls, just inches above the water. Jurassic World VelociCoaster also features two high-speed launches, one of which reaches up to 70 miles per hour in only 2.4 seconds.
A representative of Universal Orlando Resort said in a statement that Jurassic World VelociCoaster will be the next exciting addition to Jurassic Park at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Visitors to this immersive land come face-to-face with life-size dinosaurs in “incredible theme park experiences.”
This includes Jurassic Park River Adventure, where a leisure raft ride turns into a “daring eight-story plunge to escape a ferocious T-Rex. Another is Raptor Encounter, where visitors can test their bravery and get up-close and personal with Velociraptor Blue, along with the newest additions to the paddock, baby raptors. Along the way, guests can learn more about these clever carnivores.
More About The Attraction
These are merely teasers into this phenomenal new attraction, but Universal promises to reveal more in the coming months. Once ready for visitors, you will be able to step into Jurassic Park and stand in awe at a land transformed by science after 65 million years.
The island may look beautiful, but don’t be deceived as danger lurks around every corner. Here, you can meet the giant creatures of Earth’s past, encounter the raptors, take a raft expedition through jungles teeming with dinosaurs. The more daring can visit the raptor paddock and carefully approach one of these deadly predators.
