Though we had an update just two days ago, we went back to Universal’s Islands of Adventure to capture more testing of the new Jurassic World: VelociCoaster! In this update you’ll find an array of pictures and videos of the new coaster, slated to open in the Summer of 2021.
– In the past, many of our images have been posted, featured, and shared on forums, social media platforms and websites around the web. We work hard to provide the coverage that we do, and we encourage our audience to share our content and use our images, BUT ONLY IF proper credit is given to thecoasterkings.com. Thank you! –
***Please note that this is a multi-page update, make sure to click on page 2 at the bottom of this page to get to all the testing videos!

A set of trim brakes ensure the coaster doesn’t run over the top too quick:
The drop off the Top Hat will dive directly towards the ride’s entrance plaza:
The entrance to the coaster will be located on the back side of the Jurassic Park Discovery Center. Much to the confusion of guests today, that repeatedly asked us where the entrance to the testing coaster was:
