Jam along on the tallest roller coaster at Universal Orlando on the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. As one of the big rides at Universal Studios, guests might be wary of the 90 degree angle climb up to the 167 foot steep hill drop.
There is one decent drop near the beginning of the ride. Official stats about its height or length are unknown (Universal remains mum on a lot if its ride specs), but estimates put it around 30 feet tall. (The big drop on Disney World's Splash Mountain, by comparison, is approximately 50 feet.)
The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is definitely the scariest ride in Universal Studios Orlando and will absolutely make your heart pound as you make your way through. You can expect two separate launches, with one of them going up to 70 mph into a 140 foot drop and even an inverted zero-gravity stall.
Disney's Animal Kingdom staple attraction Expedition Everest is super scary, but overall, Disney tends to do less in the way of thrill rides. Conversely, Universal Studios Florida delivers on ride-induced screams.
Hollywood Rip Ride RockitReaching a radical 17 stories high over Orlando, this rockin' roller coaster is one of the tallest thrill rides in any of the city's many theme parks. The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is not just high, it's fast too, maxing out at 65 mph.
Jurassic Parks drop is more intense, and way more scary! Most of the drop is in the dark, so it feels really long. The drop in Splash is like 2 seconds, and is nowhere near as bad as in steepness or height.
