How many times does VelociCoaster go upside down?

VelociCoaster is a launched roller coaster at Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida. Manufactured by Intamin, the ride opened to the public on June 10, 2021.



The Jurassic World VelociCoaster, located at Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando, turns riders upside down a total of four times. These inversions are meticulously integrated into the ride's two-launch layout to maximize the sensation of speed and "raptor-like" agility. The first inversion is an Immelmann loop that occurs after the initial launch, followed by a dive loop. The second half of the ride, which takes place after a second high-speed launch to 70 mph, features a massive stall where riders hang upside down for several seconds over the lagoon, and a final, heart-pounding barrel roll (often called the "mosasaurus roll") that occurs just inches above the water at high speed. A unique aspect of these four inversions is that they are experienced using only a lap bar restraint, which enhances the feeling of "airtime" and vulnerability, making it one of the most critically acclaimed thrill rides in the world since its debut in 2021.
