The Jurassic World Velocicoaster, which opened in June of 2021, boasts an insane track that includes an incredible ride with four inversions, two exhilarating launches, a one-of-a-kind 360-degree barrel roll right above the lagoon, an inverted zero-gravity stall that sends riders upside down across 100 feet of track, and a 155-foot tall “top hat” with a 140-foot drop at eighty degrees.
The ride is not for the faint of heart and is being called by many as “the most thrilling rollercoaster in all of Florida.”
Recently, a 70-year-old Universal Orlando Guest embarked on the attraction and came off a “changed man.”
User @HorrificP shared the story on Twitter and even got a reply from Universal Orlando Resort themselves.
Just took my 70 year old Dad on Velocicoaster and he’s forever a changed man. @UniversalORL thought you should know
Congratulations to your dad on this momentous occasion! Thanks for letting us know! 💙

There are many stories of Guests who came away from Velocicoaster absolutely changed by what they experienced. The ride is as thrilling as it comes and there’s no doubt that Universal Orlando completely changed the game with the way this coaster was designed.
One of the most interesting facts about the Velocicoaster is that Universal developed a transfer system for the ride, but didn’t patent the technology so that other theme parks across the country could make their rides even more accessible, as well.
