It’s official: Universal has announced that the Jurassic World VelociCoaster will open in summer 2021 at Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park. The new coaster will be Florida’s tallest and fastest launch coaster, reaching 70 mph and 155 feet in the air.
The new attraction will have an original story:
Guests will join the original cast of the films – Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing and BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu – as Jurassic World unveils the next evolution of its “carnivore expansion”: the VelociCoaster, where riders embark on a high-speed chase and feel the rush of the hunt while racing alongside a nimble Velociraptor pack.
The Intamin double launch steel coaster features 4700 feet of track, a 360-degree barrel roll, a zero-gravity inverted stall, an 80—degree drop, and 12 seconds of airtime.
At this time, Universal is advertising that the VelociCoaster will be a new addition to the Jurassic Park section of Islands of Adventure. They have not announced a rename of the land to “Jurassic World.”
