ORLANDO, Fla. — Roller-coaster enthusiasts are looking up — and forward — as testing for Orlando’s next thrill rides ramps up at theme parks.
At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, trains for the upcoming Jurassic World VelociCoaster speed along the rail, crest silently for a moment high on the top-hat loop before plunging down into a series of curves and twists, including a dramatic upside-down stretch over water.
“Just by looking at the track, you can just get the vibe that this is going be one of those layout-changing roller coasters in the area, even in the country,” said Sarah Anderson. “It’s going to be one of those things that people travel from all over to try out.”
