Is Velocicoaster an Intamin?

The two rides are quite different from one another despite sharing an IP; Flying Dinosaur is a B&M Flying Coaster, whereas VelociCoaster is an Intamin LSM Launch Coaster.



Yes, the Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal Islands of Adventure was designed and manufactured by the Swiss firm Intamin. Known for their cutting-edge "New Generation" coasters, Intamin utilized their sophisticated LSM (Linear Synchronous Motor) launch technology to propel riders through two high-speed launches, the second of which reaches a top speed of 70 mph in just 2.4 seconds. The ride is famous for its "Top Hat" element, which towers 155 feet over the park’s lagoon, and its unique "Moshi Roll" over the water. As of 2026, it remains one of the highest-rated roller coasters in the world due to its intense airtime, smooth tracking, and immersive storytelling. Intamin worked closely with Universal Creative to integrate the track seamlessly into a paddock-like environment filled with raptor animatronics and rockwork, making it a masterclass in modern theme park engineering and "story-coaster" design.
