From Raptor Encounters to Butterbeer: read about my experience on Velocicoaster and why I love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Are you a thrill seeker?

The Velocicoaster at Universal Orlando Resort is an incredible ride that left me feeling exhilarated and amazed. The ride is thrilling from start to finish, with incredible speeds, twists, turns, and inversions. What I loved most about the ride was how smooth it was, despite all the intense maneuvers. The seat technology is different from other roller coasters, with no shoulder restraints which made me feel so free when going upside down. Overall, the Velocicoaster is an amazing roller coaster that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an exciting and thrilling experience at Universal Orlando Resort.

One of the great things about the Velocicoaster is the queue experience. From the moment you step into the queue, you're transported into the world of Jurassic Park and the Jurassic World franchise. There are many Easter eggs and references to the movies throughout the queue, which is a treat for any fan.

A highlight of the queue is the containment room, where you get to see a raptor up close in its cage. For me, it is the most impressive part of the queue. Getting to see a life-sized raptor animatronic up close. The raptor is incredibly detailed and realistic, with every detail of its skin and features expertly crafted. It's an amazing experience that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the action.

Overall, the queue for the Velocicoaster is an amazing journey in itself, and it's definitely worth taking the time to explore and appreciate all the details that have been included. It's just one more reason why the Velocicoaster is one of the best rides at Universal Orlando Resort.

Do you love getting lost in a fictional world?

On the other hand, when I visit Universal Orlando Resort, I also love spending time in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It's a completely different experience from riding the Velocicoaster, but equally enjoyable in its own way. I love people-watching and soaking up the atmosphere, and there's no shortage of incredible details to admire in this immersive world. One of my favorite things to do is to try the different foods and drinks, including the famous butterbeer. It's also great fun to wear my Hogwarts robes and use my interactive wand to cast spells and explore the shops and attractions. In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I feel like I'm transported to my favorite fictional world, and I can easily get lost in the experience for hours on end. It's a must-visit for any Harry Potter fan or anyone who loves immersive theme park experiences.

When it comes to total immersion, the queue for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey has to be the best you'll ever experience in a theme park. As you wind your way through the castle, you'll feel like you're really at Hogwarts, with incredible attention to detail and theming that makes you feel like you're part of the wizarding world.

From the moment you enter the castle gates, you'll be surrounded by incredible architecture, statues, and artwork, all designed to transport you to the world of Harry Potter. You'll walk through the Hogwarts Dungeon, past the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and even through Dumbledore's office. Along the way, you'll encounter various interactive elements, such as the talking portraits, that add to the immersive experience.

One of the highlights of the queue is the sorting hat ceremony, where you'll be sorted into your Hogwarts house before boarding the ride. It's an amazing experience that really makes you feel like you're a part of the story. 

After you exit the ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, you'll find yourself in Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods, a gift shop filled with all sorts of wizarding world goodies. The gift shop is a treasure trove for fans of the Harry Potter books and movies, with plenty of nods to the characters and stories throughout. You'll find all sorts of items for sale, from Hogwarts robes and house scarves to wands, magical creatures, and Quidditch equipment.

Pro Tip: Want to experience the immersive theming of Hogwarts Castle without riding Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey? Let the ride attendants know you do not wish to ride, and they'll direct you to a bypass line that takes you straight to the castle entrance. From there, you can explore the queue and its many immersive elements, including Dumbledore's office and the talking portraits, without going on the ride.
