Failing to make it up the hill is not normal operation. It’s a contingency for which they are prepared, but it is not intended to happen. If it were “normal operation”, then it would happen every time.
It’s definitely normal. It’s something that can occur at any time. It’s expected to happen and is accounted for by the designers and the computer. It’s really not a big deal
“Always felt safe” yet somehow also felt terrified. LOL.
Seems lile every reaction is one to get the attention of an attorney for some sort of cash prize.
We were on it 2 weeks ago when it stopped mid-ride. They back the coaster up to help it re-gain the speed it needs to go over these hills. It’s normal. They even announced it. I saw another stupid comments about wearing helmets and that’s not true. You don’t wear helmets to ride.
I am here and been here since Sunday. No one was terrified. I was next in line when passenger got back off. Lottery was like 15mins and it was back up.
Don’t ride it in the dark, everything’s a blur!
We were there in December, we did the backwards thing too it was awesome! I had my eyes wide open the entire time but the darkness made it hard to see the raptors!
And yeah, no helmets, geesh!
Terrified? There are many coasters where this is actually part of the ride. To me that makes the ride better. Roller coasters are supposed to be scary and make you excited. Shekra at Busch gardens terrifies people all the time. This website is really trying to get people to read their articles by making these titles and descriptions sensationalized. Wow
Comments for Universal Guest “Terrified” After Velocicoaster Malfunction
Jake
A rollback, something a launch coaster is designed to recover from, which it did without a problem, is now being billed as a malfunction?
Is this site ran by some GP Karen?
Ash
Exactly what I was thinking. So the coaster did what the coaster was designed to do? Excellent. Glad to hear it lol
Bob bomhauer
Yes, yes it has..
Bob cheapric
Ever since this coaster started requiring helmets I stopped trusting it.
Nate
Helmets? Ive tried doing an actual search to see if this was a requirement and could find anything…please clarify
Nate
*couldn’t find anything
Lea
Huh??? They require a helmet to ride?
It’s so much smoother than Hulk…
Rodger
Riding on row 12 actually felt rougher than the hulk to me when I rode it. Maybe wind is more of a factor for that?
Chris Wood
I have one thing about this ride, the lap bar, and the feeling I’m going fall out
George
Helmut ??? I was just there did not have a Helmut

This is not a malfunction, it’s normal operation.

The author way over exaggerated what happened. Especially after reading the original tweet they just didn’t have any coaster knowledge
Kevin Mitchey
Everybody is a freakin baby these days I swear.

CRAIG EASTOM
