Quietly, like a raptor pack stalking its prey, Universal announced the Jurassic World VelociCoaster opening at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Summer 2021. From their website:
For those brave enough to visit the raptor paddock, you may be able to carefully approach one of these deadly predators. Then feel the rush of the hunt as you race through the jungle alongside raptors on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, a new species of roller coaster coming Summer 2021.
The VelociCoaster will launch guests into a velociraptor paddock as they weave in and out of the foliage, rocks, and hungry raptors. Guests will then make a quick escape out of the enclosure as they perform ariel maneuvers in front of the Jurassic Park section of Islands of Adventure.
Eyes-in-the-sky Bioreconstruct posted some recent construction photos showing the ride’s layout and theming.

Once open we expect this rollercoaster to be among the fastest in Central Florida and push what a themed rollercoaster can be.
