Coming to Universal Orlando this Summer...
THE VELOCICOASTER!

Universal's newest roller coast, the VelociCoaster, is opening up at their Islands of Adventure park on June 10! This coaster is anticipated to be not for the faint of heart; it will be Florida's fastest AND tallest launch coaster with a top speed of 70 mph (reached within 2.4 seconds) and max height of 155 feet!

The VelociCoaster spans over 4,700 feet of track, some of which sits just inches above the water of Islands of Adventure’s central lagoon. It features two launches, with at least one occurring within Jurassic World’s raptor paddock and the faster of the two hitting 70 mph in just 2.4 seconds. There are four inversions, some of which brandish such descriptions as “one of a kind” and “the first of its kind”: a 360-degree barrel roll above water and a zero-gravity inverted stall that lasts for some 100 feet. And then there’s that massive, 155-foot hill, which contains an 80-degree drop. All told, Universal promises a total of 12 seconds of airtime – an exhilarating amount of time for riders to be lifted out of their seats.

Experience Universal Orlando like a VIP

If you aren't staying in a premier property on-site and need access to the Unlimited Express pass, the VIP tours are a great choice! With the VIP experience, you'll be personally escorted by a Universal Orlando expert on a guided group tour through Universal Studios Florida or Universal's Islands of Adventure, or BOTH with a 2-park experience. 

You'll get exclusive backstage access, learn fun insider information, and enjoy the parks' most amazing rides and attractions without... wait for it... WAITING IN LINE! That's right, no waiting in line. With how busy it is expected to be in Florida this summer and how parks have been hitting capacity much more frequently, this perk is definitely worth the splurge for you and your family. The groups are no more than 12 people and last up to 7 hours, which you will receive Immediate VIP entry into 10 of the most popular rides & attractions. 

As an added bonus, complimentary standard valet parking is included in the VIP experience (1 vehicle). 

Along with your guide, you’ll also get:
