Universal Orlando is stepping up the scales in their theme park as Jurassic World Velocicoaster will be opening on June 10.
According to Slashfilm, this ride is Florida’s fastest and tallest launch coaster. It will soar dinosaur explorers 155 feet in the air with a catapult speed of 70mph.
Hopefully, life will find a way for you to go to this attraction when US and international visitors can go to the park after COVID-19 protocols subside. Florida residents can visit the park whenever as long as it hasn't reached capacity. You'll also have to properly social distance and wear a mask while not eating on park premises.
The Jurassic World cast is reprising their roles for Velosicoaster. Dr. Wu (B.D. Wong) greets you as you enter inside and tells them about the "cutting-edge new coaster" in Jurassic World. As you wait in the line, you'll hear the screams of other riders as they escape from Blue, Delta, Charlie, and Echo. As you head to the load platform, you'll hear some reassuring words from Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and a final warning from Owen Grady (Chris Pratt).
If you've ever been on the Fast and the Furious: Supercharged ride, you'll know these Hollywood actors often phone in their performances for a quick paycheck, but it's great to see some familiar faces for this attraction regardless.
Once you get on board, you'll be treated (or horrified) by 4,700 feet of track with near-misses, a barrel roll, high-speed launches, and the previously mentioned "Top Hat" drop that propels you up 155 feet and brings you down an 80-degree drop. Slashfilm reports that this is the "steepest Universal has ever had on a ride." All this sounds fantastic, but at TheGamer, we're itching to go on the Mario Kart ride at Super Nintendo World.
It's no wonder why Universal would want to capitalize on the Jurassic World brand as the first film is the sixth highest-grossing flick of all time, according to Box Office Mojo. The sequel didn't fare as well but more films in the series are on the way. The next movie, Jurassic World: Dominion, hits screens on June 10, 2022. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be returning with Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum featured in the film.
