Rode it twice, once in front and once in back. I can say that the back is scarier than the front. Especially the top hat, which whips you over and ejects you in the back way more than the front. I preferred the front for the view and being able to anticipate the next elements, but the back is more intense. And that heartline roll is no joke. Definitely the scariest (and most thrilling) element I've ever experienced on any coaster.

i rode the in the back for the first time a few weeks ago and i was so shocked with how much you get thrown out of your seat at the drop than when you’re more towards the front

I rode Velocicoaster twice. First time was second row right side. Second time was back row right side. This video helped me to understand the coaster before I got on it because I do NOT like surprises. Even though I watched this video like 4 times, I was basically crying in line and having a panic attack lol and almost chickened out. I rode it though and I was honestly underwhelmed by the intensity that I felt. For those who are worried about the stomach dropping feeling on the ride like I was, especially on the hill, I am here to tell you that there was not a SINGLE second that my stomach dropped at any point on the ride. I was worried the most about the hill and the launches. The front of the ride was a smooth, easy ride to me. I had a lot of fun, and I got ejector airtime, but nothing too crazy. I decided to get back on in the very back row today because I wanted to experience more intensity, and boy DID I. However, by no means was it unbearable intensity. The launches were definitely more intense, and I definitely was out of my seat a lot more, and the Mosasaurus roll at the end of the ride for sure tried to launch me into the water at the end of the ride. However, I was not really scared after we took off. I didn’t even tuck my legs the entire ride! And for those scared about the lap bar, you don’t even think about it once you launch. It becomes a second thought. You are very secure despite your upper half being free. It actually makes the experience that much better. I HIGHLY recommend this coaster, and this is coming from a coaster wimp.

I’m actually in the park right now and heavily debating whether or not I want to ride it. the first drop has the inversion so it’s not that bad, but there is that tall second one that is really making me nervous, the dropping feeling is the absolute pits and keeps me from enjoying hardly anything

I’m 64 years old and rode it. If I can, you can. First time was back row (totally by chance). Second time, a couple hours later, my son and I “chose” front row. I agree with others, that the back row is more intense re airtime, but the front row was much more scary due to the low profile of the front of the car. There’s very little if anything in front of you. Just the track, pretty much. That indeed was quite unnerving. That being said, front row, as it always is, was much smoother. In reality, the entire ride is smooth (much more so than Hulk). Riding on air “the entire time” (airtime, lol) has to be smooth, right? Again, ride it. If a 64 year old geezer can (and love it), you can!

I just want to THANK YOU for posting this step by step explanation of the Velocicoaster. I can do inversions all day long, but I really don’t do big drops! I don’t like that dropping feeling in my stomach and I find it extremely terrifying. I kept telling myself that if it wasn’t for the drop (top hat), I know I would be able to ride it. We had already gone to see the ride and still wasn’t convinced I wouldn’t be able to ride. Once I found your video, you had me convinced I could. SO we ended up going back, and even though I was extremely nervous, I DID IT! Oh my goodness, it was SO surprised that the drop was not a big deal! This ride was AMAZING! Can’t wait to ride it again! Thank you again for posting such details of this ride! I’m so grateful!

I guarantee you, under heavy negative G's if you were to slip through the bars you would come out at great speed. That's the feeling people are scared by, knowing that bar is the one thing stopping you from going splat. And any amount of time is enough, when that force is pushing you out of your seat if you werent restrained you would be moving away from the train and not coming back. You can't start being flung and then come back from that, you're either restrained or you're dead. People know lap bars work, but that doesn't eliminate all instinctive fear when trying an extreme experience for the first time. People don't all rationalise things the way you do.

I couldn’t even scream for part of the ride it was that scary. Hit my chin several times on the top of the restraint but I was so scared that the pain was literally numbed.

Coaster enthusiast here, I rode this coaster only twice when I went to Universal Orlando because of the long wait time, but it's already one if, if not, my new favorite coaster. I was reduced to a laughing mess at the final brake run. This is without a doubt a must-ride for anyone going to Universal, as well as Hulk. Both rides are insanely good, however I personally put Velocicoaster higher than Hulk for a few reasons. The lap bars on Velocicoaster allow for more freedom of movement than the over-the-shoulder restraints on Hulk, and Velocicoaster has more airtime moments as well. If you are even slightly apprehensive about riding either of them, do it, as they are both amazing coasters. Word of advice: Put your hands up at the heartline roll at the end of Velocicoaster, trust me when I say it's one of the most exhilarating feelings of any coaster I've ridden.

I'm a passholder and we've been riding this every weekend for the past two months. I LOVE IT!! I also think the roll near the end over the water is by far the scariest part. The acceleration is extremely intense and exciting. Even though it's only a lap bar, the sturdiness of the restraint and the depth of the seat keep you firmly in place. I grew up in Central Florida and I have the complete trust in the safety of any rides at Universal or Disney. The motorbike coaster Hagrids is also worth a go. It is extremely fun!

For anyone out there on the fence about this ride because of that, he is 100% right - it’s so fast you don’t even have a chance to get that sensation. It is fast and does whip you around a bit and that over the water roll and stall - wow! What a great ride - I can’t wait to go again!

I watched this before I rode it and it was very accurate. For first time riders I definitely think they should ride in the middle. I did not feel the drop at all but the angle was intense. You will feel the inversions unlike the hulk but it is not bad at all. It is extremely fast too. Also, it is does not have that stomach feeling at all. If you can ride the hulk you can definitely ride this.

Im going to universal for a couple days next week with my friends and I’m terrified of rollercoasters..only one I can barely handle is the Hulk..this one hell no!Only thing I am scared of about rollercoasters is the stomach drop feeling 😫

Just rode it last week and I can 100% confirm your sentiments on that mosasaurus roll. I’m a coaster guy and I don’t usually feel scared on coasters, and I was chilling on this ride. Yet when we got to that roll, I was laughing out of shock lol really genuinely thought I was going to fall into the water for a millisecond there

I have to agree! Rode it a few days ago and I'll never forget it. Front row, awesome ride, super smooth but for sure felt like it wanted to kill me! I can honestly say I've never gotten off of a coaster with such a high emotional feeling as what this ride gives. A must ride for any coaster enthusiast

lol i got addicted and rode it 11 times in like a day or to

Lowkey, i just go to the bathroom, get in line, and refuse to leave. Now im not scared. Literally just ride a coaster, and your fear is eradicated. I cant get enough of it now.

We just rode this 2 days ago…it’s so intense and fun. My daughter and I were able to ride it 2x in a row with little wait time. That last roll was my favorite part!! And the 2nd launch. I am already looking forward to the next time we can ride it. And I can tell you I felt very safe with the lap bar.

Thank you so much for your video! Definitely so helpful! Best review I’ve seen online!!

Universal hit it out the park with this one the ride is freaking amazing there’s one part that I love is where the second raptors are before going into launch number two but the whole ride is absolutely outstanding

I went on this ride 3 times last year in the summer, and I’m going to ride it a 4th this month for my senior trip. It is the best ride I have ever been on. The line may be long, even with the fast pass. But trust me when I say this: it is 100% worth the wait. The 2nd launch is so much more intense than the 1st one, and you’re not even in your seat for like 80% of the ride. However, that’s where the restraint comes in clutch. You can enjoy that feeling of flying safely. And it’s relatively new, so it won’t go into bad condition any time soon. These roller coasters are constantly being monitored, especially at large theme parks like this. It’s such a thrilling ride; would 100% recommend if you’re into roller coasters.

This is greatly appreciated! We were a huge Disney family but due to several circumstances I won’t go into here, we’re no longer visiting WDW. But I’m so used to the easy rides at Disney (Everest was the most daring I’ve done there) that I’m really nervous about Universal and all the thrill rides. I really enjoy your breakdown of every element and knowing what to expect. Thank you!

Got on this a couple weeks ago and loved it! It’s definitely not for people who are trying to get over a fear but if you like thrill like myself it’s definitely a must if you plan on going to Universal!!!

Oh! It's fantastic! I was super scared to ride the first time. I have experienced it twice and can't wait to do it again!

I am the person you made this for, FOR SURE. I’m super glad you addressed what the upside down hang feels like, and that it works out to just 2-3 seconds. I’m glad you warned us about the barrel roll because I honestly was the least worried about it. I love corkscrew turns but it sounds like this is more intense, so thank you for preparing me to tuck my legs under & hold on tight. 👍🏼👍🏼

the roll its pretty special, as someone who knows a lot about coasters heartline rolls arent usually this intense since they are taken at low speeds or at the top of a climb. But due to how fast you are going and the profiling of the mosasaurus roll its probably one of the strongest elements in a modern coaster. i havent ridden this coaster yet (i havent ridden many due to my location, but i like reading and watching content about the amusement industry), but people who have ridden it say that the final roll its absolutely terrifying. Luckily its at the very end of the ride so you can probably just tank it.

I’ve been so excited-yet nervous to ride this! I’m a hands DOWN person that loves roller coasters, but I wanted to make sure how it was for the first time. I’m going to ride this in less than a month! This helped so much, wish me luck!!

I’m a season pass holder and the ride is amazing! Usually I’m a rollercoaster fanatic, however this rollercoaster is no joke, I only rode it once every time I go to universal.... so for anyone reading this! It’s worth the wait... definitely a rollercoaster for experience people.

I went on it a week ago! It’s my top 1st roller coaster..... I LOVE IT!!!! Your going so fast you don’t even realize what’s happening lol.... but it’s tons of fun and I definitely recommend this ride 100% least gotta ride it once :) I’m so grateful I got the opportunity to ride it and I was one happy customer :)

i wanted to leave a comment and say i REALLY enjoy the way you commentate the ride! it brings up things i get worried about, but that other channels don't specifically mention (like the feeling of you butt "leaving" the seat) and the idea of tucking your legs under your seat before intense parts. thank you! i don't know if i will ever get on the velocicoaster, but i am a big coaster enthusiast, and i loved this video (-:

The beauty of that heartline roll is that you experience centrifugal force and why it wants to pull you out the ride. The profile of the roll, the speed you take it and the type of restraints all combined to give it the intensity everyone talks about.

What a great video!!! Definitely helpful to those who are afraid! Thanks for this

Rode this a couple of weeks ago when at Universal. Great video walking people through this. Hulk has always been a massive favorite of mine and my wife’s, but this truly takes the heap. Hagrid’s is amazing for theming, but even the queue in this one is thoroughly next level. I was extremely impressed with every detail they put into this one. Truly next generation, and I can’t wait to see what Universal does with their third park they are building now. I honestly can’t remember ever feeling this excited after a ride, and the claps at the end of the ride are so well deserved. Amazing!

I’ve ridden several coasters in my lifetime, this was one of the best! It was my daughter and her best friends first time on an inverted coaster, and they loved it. Have to admit, that last inversion over the water, caught me off guard. Could have sworn my fingers touched the water!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS

I’m 6’3”, 205 lbs. The seat was very comfortable and the lap bar made me feel secure, so much that I didn’t even wonder why there was no shoulder harness. My son pointed this out to me after the ride was done. The blast off from 50 mph to 70 mph was so intense!! I loved this ride and can’t wait to do it again.

This is the best review of Velocicoaster that I have seen. I am a coaster fan of many years, yet after my first ride on Velocicoaster, I was terrified of that heartline roll. I was not expecting that element to scare me, but it did. I made myself ride it again and again to get over the fear of that roll. It took me about 6 times until I was able to let go and fully enjoy it. Now, it's my favorite coaster at Universal. I couldn't let Velocicoaster beat me and now I love it!!!

Thanks, this is a really nice review and I like how you touched on the different "scary" parts of the ride.

I love coasters. Especially fast ones, tall ones, and launch coasters. I'm just not a fan of going upside down, that's what made me terrified to ride it.

I remember trying to go hands up the entire ride and that barrel roll over the water had me shook. Only thing stopping me from getting launched 65 miles an hour into the water and possibly dying was the lap bar. Terrifying

Everything he said describing the entire ride is on point. I’m just glad I wasn’t the only one that was getting lifted out of my seat I thought I was going to die. But it literally is the best ride out of both parks. I really wish my family would have given it a shot because it was so exciting and totally worth it.

@LaurieHartshorn

Жыл бұрын

I have to say, I've not ridden an inverting coaster with just lap, but stunt pilot (single rail rmc) has the belt shoulder with lap bar similar to this. The seat belt like part on shoulder slides off shoulder during ride at times, and much to my surprise I was ok with that because I realized the lap bar truly held tight. And I weigh a bit more than I should so I fear them not holding me well. They do. So I feel now with the beginner like version I'd be oknwith lap only. I suggest trying a single rail like that if you can first

Def the most intense coaster I've ever been on & I've been to just about every major theme park in the country. Kept feeling like we were going to go over the rails and that 2nd 70mph boost was very unexpected. It was fun though but it's the first coaster ever for me where I questioned going on a 2nd time lol

This review is spot on. That heartline roll is terrifying and awesome. I'm kind of obsessed with this ride -- thrilled we got to do it twice during its soft open a couple of weeks ago. Two caveats: they are serious when they warn you you can lose your glasses into the lagoon on that roll. Also, if you opt for the single rider line, you miss most of the theming in the queue, including those cool animatronic raptors. But you do get on the ride faster.

This is my 3rd ever rollercoaster and I gotta say, I think it's my favorite. I went on it three times in one day, two of those times going back to back. That S curve right off the station is the scariest part of the ride for me, because you have no idea what's coming, and even the other times I've been on it, I still am a little nervous. You can tell when it's going to launch because there's a music build up, and light tree at the opening that marks when it'll launch. There is also a slight clunk right before the launch, but knowing when the launch is doesn't take away how intense it is. Once it launches and it commits, I'm not scared anymore. With all the airtime and only the lap bar, I feel so free, but I also feel completely secure. In the first section of the coaster, there are a ton of "head choppers" but, if you try to keep your head glued to the headrest, and your arms down on the lap bar, it's alright. The second launch is just as intense as the first, even to the point where the train starts shaking at the end. The second scariest part of the whole ride for me was the launch up the tophat, as you see the top and you start climbing, my fear of heights kicked in. Then the drop comes. For the best drop experience, I recommend sitting near the very back, as you get whipped around the top, and you're out of your chair almost the entire drop. The drop actually isn't scary at all for me, as there are barely any G's and I felt free. For those who don't like flying, this would probably be more terrifying. One thing I recommend is to hold on to your lap bar the entire time. There are several parts in the track that try and fling you off your seat, and holding on just gives you enough security to feel free but not flying out of the train. The only reason this coaster is intense is because of speed and airtime. There are barely any G's at all. I definitely recommend going on this.

Great Video. Nice to know what to expect when we finally get to experience the ride!

This was really good!!! You gotta make more videos like this for other rides from other theme parks!!
