New Podcast Episode: Building Universal's VelociCoaster

July 30, 2021, 3:18 PM · We just posted another podcast episode!

This time, I talked with Greg Hall, Creative Director at Universal Creative, about Universal Orlando's new Jurassic World VelociCoaster - the theme park hit of the summer so far.

In our conversation, Greg reminds me that the VelociCoaster is canonically the first public display of velociraptors in the Jurassic Park/World universe. And for long-time Roller Coaster Tycoon fans, Greg also shares what it's like to be part of a roller coaster design process in real life.

If you haven't had the chance yet to experience Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure - or even if you have - enjoy our playlist of videos from the official opening, including POV and reverse POV video and an interview with Show Producer Shelby Honea.

This rollercoaster is PHENOMENAL!!! Besure to get a back seat at night if possible, it's a completely different experience.
