Update: The single rider line is closed to ensure all seats are filled.
Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal Islands of Adventure is no longer offering a single rider queue.
VelociCoaster Single Rider Closed
The former single rider sign is currently covered by a black tarp. The team member we spoke to at the attraction said single rider “probably” won’t return.
We don’t know why Universal has closed the single rider queue. Guests will have to use either the standby queue or Universal Express pass instead.
Update: We now know the reasoning behind this decision, and that is to ensure all seats are filled on the popular attraction, which usually boasts a wait time of an hour or longer.
Team members are dividing groups into two separate lines: parties with an even or odd number of people. Guests are then loaded onto the attraction accordingly.
The official website description of the attraction reads:
Speeding through the jungle, rising high above the terrain, it’s the apex predator of roller coasters: the Jurassic World VelociCoaster. Now you can board your vehicle for a high-speed dash through the park’s raptor paddock. Feel the rush of the hunt as you race alongside these nimble predators, twisting and soaring above the land and water. Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Guests must be at least 51″ to ride, and Universal Express Pass is accepted. Jurassic World VelociCoaster is the fastest and tallest launch coaster in Florida. At the very start of the ride, you’ll launch 70mph in just 2.4 seconds.
The attraction has won several awards, including USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice: Best New Theme Park Attraction 2021, Best New Rollercoaster of 2020/2021 from Golden Ticket Award, and Best New Attraction of 2021 and Best Rollercoaster of 2021 from Theme Park Insider.
