Universal Orlando s Jurassic World VelociCoaster stormed to the front of the pack in its debut season, claiming our Theme Park Insider Award for Best Roller Coaster this year.
Universal Orlando Cools New Coaster Soft-Opening Rumors
January 27, 2021, 1:09 PM ·
The Jurassic World VelociCoaster will open in just a few months, Universal Orlando said in a blog post today. The resort also said that it would announce a specific opening date for the new roller coaster soon.
Universal has been testing the new Intamin coaster for several weeks now, and fans in the park have seen team members riding on some recent test runs. That fueled speculation that a soft opening was imminent for the new ride, which dominates the Jurassic Park skyline over the lagoon in Universal s Islands of Adventure theme park. While Universal Orlando still may choose to open the ride in technical rehearsals before an official opening, today s post should cool speculation that such an opening could happen any day now.
