ORLANDO, Fla. – Universal Orlando’s Jurassic World VelociCoaster is set to open this year, and the resort is sharing a few more details about the attraction.

Universal has previously said the new coaster will open “this summer.” But in a post on the official Universal Orlando Blog on Wednesday narrowed it down to opening within “a few months.”

And an opening date will be announced “soon,” according to the blog post.

The blog post featured interviews with two members of the Universal Creative Team—Show Producer Shelby Honea and Art Director Greg Hall--who have been working on the VelociCoaster. Both talked about the development of the project, which began in 2017, and working with the Jurassic World filmmakers to make sure the elements of the coaster stayed true to the films.

VelociCoaster, branded as a “new species of roller coaster,” will feature four inversions, two launches, an inverted zero-gravity stall, a 155-foot tall top hat and a 140-foot drop. And the thrills won’t stop there as the coaster will reach speeds up to 70 mph. Also, riders will be held into place by just a lap bar, not shoulder restraints.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused construction to slow, presenting a new challenge for the team to finish the coaster on time. Once new safety measures were in place, construction was able to continue while the parks were closed—all while no official announcement had been made.

“We were obviously building something and during that period it was so fun seeing fans just speculating, tweeting, writing blogs, making art—just every little thing,” Hall said.  “We hadn’t even announced and it had all this hype.”

Even after officially announcing the coaster, excitement for the ride has continued to build, especially when Universal began testing the ride several weeks ago. Most recently, human riders were seen on a few test runs.
