Is VelociCoaster Scarier Than The Hulk?

Yes, the VelociCoaster is the scariest roller coaster at Universal Orlando Resort. Other coasters come close, like The Incredible Hulk Coaster, but we believe that the scariest roller coaster at Universal is VelociCoaster. Guests can reach speeds over 70 mph and are being chased by Velociraptors the entire time!



Whether Jurassic World VelociCoaster is "scarier" than The Incredible Hulk Coaster depends on your specific high-fidelity fears. The Hulk is a "high-force" experience characterized by massive loops, intense positive G-forces, and a classic over-the-shoulder harness that makes you feel "crushed" into your seat. It is a "rattly" and aggressive ride that leaves many feeling dizzy. In contrast, VelociCoaster is a modern "airtime" masterpiece that focuses on "ejection peril." It uses only a lap bar, which can feel terrifying as you are launched through the "Mosasaurus Roll" inches above the water or plunged down a 155-foot drop. While The Hulk is a "physical boxing match," VelociCoaster is a smooth, high-speed chase with extreme "negative Gs" that make you feel like you are falling out of your seat. For most 2026 riders, VelociCoaster is considered more "terrifying" because of the psychological vulnerability of the lap bar and its relentless speed, while The Hulk remains the king of raw, bruising intensity.

On a thrill scale of 0 to 10 (with 0 being stimulation free and 10 being egads!), we think VelociCoaster rates 8.5. That's plenty thrilling. It's partly the height—155 feet is nothing to scoff at—as well as the 80-degree drop and its 70 mph speed.

VelociCoaster is intense, yet smooth – the intensity comes from the airtime and crazy maneuvers and not the roughness of the track. The only thing holding you in is a lap bar, which makes it comfortable one yet thrilling thanks to the air time, speed and the two separate launches. Child Swap?
