Keep in mind there are no “weight restrictions” on any of Universal's theme-park attractions; instead, it comes down to how your unique body dimensions fit inside each ride's restraint system. Two people may weigh the same, but one will fit and the other will not — which is why the test seats are so important.

In fact, it's probably the best place to go for those who love the rush of roller coasters and those who aren't quite so fond of them. Universal's tagline of “ride the movies” makes it a perfect option for those looking for a variety of experiences within each themed land or movie homage.

Keep the Kids in Mind Although there aren't specific age limits to ride the VelociCoaster, there are height limits. If your children are under 4 foot 3 inches, they won't be able to go on the ride. Fortunately, there is a waiting space for the children to watch as the adults speed down and around the tracks.
