 Hey friends today, I am hanging out at Universal Studios Orlando And we are going to be riding the Velocicoster for the first time for the annual pass holder preview It's not set to open until June 10th But today is May 2nd We have the first day for annual pass holder previews and the first time slot at 9 a.m. So Let's go do this There it is. I have been anticipating riding this for the longest time actually since it was first announced And I've also been a little nervous because I am a bigger guy So I do have that worry of maybe I might not fit so today We're gonna find out and like I said, I'm just excited to be here It's 7 30 in the morning the ride previews start at 9 and that's when we're gonna go and Yeah, I Think I'm gonna make my way right on over to Jurassic Park area Just so I can scope out the situation and see if there's any additional like annual pass holder Registrations like I know we need to show our confirmation emails, but I just want to make sure we're all ready to go Looks like there's some signage here letting people know which way they need to go There's a competition happening today And this one is the sign for the Universal Orlando annual pass holder access to registered event That's where we're going a couple of facts about the ride before we get over there There's only one lap bar that actually holds you down there's three to four different versions where it makes you look like you're gonna fall out and You cannot bring your cell phone camera or actually any electronic devices There is metal detectors you have to walk through so those are all important things, but they do have walkers Things are starting to look like we have made it to the Jurassic Park area After we get done riding the ride. We're actually gonna come out and meet one of the most famous raptors of all blue Hopefully afterwards the raptor and Connor is gonna be open. It's closed right now But we need to go see blue, you know And here we are this is where they're gonna be checking to see if we have our registrations and our time slots I'm excited. There's actually a big group of people already waiting We're gonna just wait in line because they're letting people just kind of line up to get in the queue But I'm just excited to be here. It's a little bit hot little humid in the morning, but it's all gonna be great I'm probably gonna cool off on the ride itself Looks like we're moving in Oh, I'm excited Lots of fun people here. Of course, I'm with Jackie super enthused Yep, and then also I've seen or 90 and former Rick's flicks and just a lot of happy people excited for a new coaster And that's how it should be Here we are we are in I'm so excited. It's happening. I see a raptor up there. Oh, this is gonna be great The music everything. Oh, there it is Amazing Now we do have a test seat so we're gonna be able to test ourselves out before we get in view I'm excited I'm definitely gonna test myself out A couple of things I want to point out about this seat is you notice these wide bars right here Which actually really helps because a lot of people have a hard time sitting in these like kind of swooped down low seats And it doesn't pinch up against you like I'll show you it gives you an extra room So you don't have to worry about it and I like it and then obviously if you do fit It'll give you that green light if you don't then it's gonna give you the red light Which is right about there. So you're looking at a pretty decent amount Like I really think this is one of the easier rides that I've ever had to fit on So not too much concern here That is so good to know we are green to go. I got the okay go. Oh, man I was super nervous like I said I'm actually super sweaty because it is so humid and hot out right now early mornings are so rough in Florida Before we get in line I wanted to show you guys the locker rental station take a look at this. It's actually very nice It's in the Discovery Center and it's just well themed in here Now it's time to actually get in the queue. This is so awesome. I love the queue It's very bright and gigantic helicopter fans. So we're gonna cool off. Hopefully. Oh, I can feel how cool. It is already I'm excited Look at this amazing queue in here Pretty soon, mr. DNA Let's get you ready to enter the paddock with real live raptors The name for lots of right there means Not only are they fast thereby is equivalent to a large American alligator That means we can't retrieve a lot of items from the paddock once they're gone I'm here to help keep you and your belongings safe during your after-run today Jackie actually just pointing out the Velosa coaster right there. How awesome is that? And we got a little music in here, too, I like it Cool thing is is once you get up front They do have space for small bags and tiny lockers But if you have a backpack or anything large, you're gonna have to put it in the Discovery Center So that's why I'm able to bring the camera in the queue and then we can lock it up before we actually get on Oh, look at this Something What Guest safety is our paramount concern in the grooming stations each specimen undergoes a complex comprehensive examination after every running Now You can take advantage of the opportunity all this provides to see these raptors in Thrilling close proximity Take a look at one of the familiar faces back here Chaos, I love it. Oh Wow, we are surrounded by raptors right now. Oh He is not happy Holy moly. Oh, no, there's more over here, too. Oh, they do have a family room right there Yeah I'm excited Here are those small lockers we're talking about we scan our card Scan card boom and we're gonna put you in there and we will be back Now it's time. We got to put the camera away, but we're ready to ride We'll let you know as soon as we're done, I'm so excited here it comes Wow guys, I just got off the coaster and I have to say that was the smoothest coaster I have ever been on I felt so comfortable like I was gonna come out of the seat but secure at the same time It was such an adrenaline rush my hands hands down my new favorite roller coaster Hadwards had it for a while, but this is its next level. That's the best way to describe it next level You really just feel like you're Lining through the air just so gracefully. Oh look, I think it's gonna be shooting off in a second here I just can't wait to ride it again Honestly, it's gonna be such a thrilling thing to be here for June 10th when it officially opens and they even said they might have a Standby line, so I'll wait hours if I have to just to ride it again Once we get off we can actually see our ride photos. I'm so excited that they're offering ride photos for this It's one I'm definitely gonna get but Jackie I can get it for free now because you have it You have the universal photo pass card. Oh, wow that really that came that came in handy today Wow, look at that there we are My hat and also I took my glasses off because I just wanted to experience it so much. Thank you We're gonna be checking out an extended queue here because on opening day They're gonna have a standby line So this is something we didn't get to see beforehand And now we're gonna get a look at it and get up close to the barrel roll and I'm excited.

Oh, we loved it we loved it and I know you guys are gonna love it Oh Honestly, I just love chilling out here now so many amazing people Recapping how much fun they had Comparing the front row to the back row if you rode this ride and you're watching this video now Let me know we rode front row So we were very lucky, but if you rode the back row let me know like I want to know your thoughts Was it great in the back or was the front row the way to be like? I absolutely loved it and I think I would probably ask for the front row again Now I think we're gonna head on over and see blue at the Raptor and Connor It's like a perfect must after riding the Velasa coaster so much fun and I'm just excited to be here The atmosphere is so amazing. Everybody is happy and loving life and it's great. Oh No, it looks like the Raptor and Connor is at capacity. What do we do? My mistake it's actually at capacity for photos with the baby dinosaur, but blue is coming out So that's what we want to see. We want to see blue Oh, can you hear that like a raptor call in the background ready? Listen? Oh is right around the corner there Now it's time Right on that line Oh Okay, I know she's got hard-hitting opinions today. It's okay blue Yeah She's a woman. She doesn't like being told to smile. I get it Yeah, see see The girls gotta stick together good girl. No blue. We said stick to meeting blue is so Exhilarating wow that was just a perfect top-off to riding the Velasa coaster I mean the way that they hype you up like step up and then when I put my hand out a little bit He tried to bite my hand off. I love it It is so much fun and it could be scary to kids like their intention is to scare you So just be warned, but it's totally worth it. Totally amazing Hard to believe that was us just a couple minutes ago It was so awesome Just want to watch them go by I Cannot wait to ride again like I said Here it comes And I think that is gonna do it for me today. I had so much fun I just enjoyed being here and being a part of the first day Path of the previews and I'm just excited to come back for June 10th the opening It's gonna be amazing I'm gonna literally wait as long as possible topping it off with meeting blue and doing the raptor encounter Perfect.
