Once you’re at the park, the fun begins! Here’s how we’d tackle the day with our cannot-miss list of rides.  

Jurassic World VelociCoaster 

Race alongside Velociraptors, twisting and turning high above land and water. This is one of Orlando’s newest thrill coasters, debuted during the summer of 2021.  

Even the bravest aboard will scream, we promise! You’ll launch through the air at 70 miles per hour in just 2.4 seconds, which is sure enough to make the most serious thrill seeker scream. This is an intense ride. Unlike other coasters, VelociCoaster has no brakes until the end.  

This is one of the most thrilling coasters at Universal Islands of Adventure, and arguably all of Orlando. Coaster enthusiasts across the globe rave about VelociCoaster for its powerful theming and complex track.  

Don’t miss your chance to ride the apex predator of roller coasters. Standing at 155 feet tall, it won’t be hard to find.   

The Incredible Hulk Coaster 

Just like the Hulk, this roller coaster is calm, relaxing, and will be easy on the body.  

Just kidding.  

You’ll be launched into the air at 67 miles per hour and thrown around with a rage that only the Hulk could harness. This high-speed coaster has seven inversions— expect to be rushed through the air upside down.  

This roller coaster is not for the weak or faint of heart. We cannot overstate the intensity of this attraction. As you wobble off the train and try to fix your hair, those true thrill seekers will be itching to ride it again.  

Locating it should be easy. Hint: It’s the big green one. 

Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure 

The name of this coaster isn’t the only thing long about it. Standing at almost a mile long—5,053 feet—your journey into the Forbidden Forest is sure to be anything but tame.  

One of the coolest features of this attraction is the ride vehicle. Each row fits two and you are given the choice between riding Hagrid’s motorbike or the sidecar next to it.  

There are so many fun surprises at each turn, including a true vertical free fall at nearly 17 feet. You won’t want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind adventure!  

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man 

With great thrills comes great joy. Swing by this attraction for a high-flying adventure with your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across New York’s skyline. This 3-D action motion stimulator will have you battling foes left and right.  

You can find this attraction in the heart of Marvel Super Hero Island area of the park. Picture yourself in the comics with Spider-Man himself as you websling above the streets.
