It's Really Official Now - Jurassic World: VelociCoaster Opening Next Summer

Greetings internet dwellers!

It leaked early last week, but today Universal Orlando Resort, sealed the deal. Jurassic World: VelociCoaster will open in the summer of 2021. They released a nifty announcement video, to show off some of what the coaster can do. 

"Get ready for a new species of roller coaster. Speeding through the jungle, rising high above the terrain, it’s the Jurassic World VelociCoaster. Board your vehicle for a high-speed dash through the park’s raptor paddock. You’ll feel the rush of the hunt as you race alongside these nimble predators, twisting and soaring above the land and water. The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is coming Summer 2021 to Universal’s Islands of Adventure."

• Accelerate through two pulse-pounding launches, the fastest reaching 70 mph in 2.4 seconds
• Encounter a one-of-a-kind, 360-degree barrel roll right above the Islands of Adventure lagoon
• Experience a zero-gravity inverted stall that will send riders upside down across 100 feet of track in a jaw-dropping maneuver that is the first of its kind
• Go airborne during the towering “Top Hat,” which propels riders 155 feet in the air and then immediately into an 80 degree drop – Universal’s steepest drop yet
• Brace for a total of 12 heart-pounding seconds of airtime – the thrilling sensation of weightlessness riders feel when they’re lifted from their seats – throughout the entire adventure

This thing looked intense from the construction. Based on the stats, it will be a thrilling addition to Islands of Adventure. Summer 2021, can't get here quick enough.

Hasta La Bye-bye for now.
