Rode this a bunch over the past week. Truly the best coaster I’ve ever been on. Crowds were fairly light but I’m glad I had no issues whatsoever getting on and was able to get multiple rides in.

Good write up about Velocicoaster and possible technical issues it's facing
I thought the black track may end up being a bit problematic for the ride
Now that I think about it, there's really no black coasters in the state is there?
IDK, I remember bringing it up when the ride was being constructed but didn't really pursue the discussion further
We'll see how this all shakes out

Rumor: Jurassic World VelociCoaster Having Issues With Wheels Overheating
The new roller coaster has seen delays in recent weeks, but they seem to be working to correct the problem

Weld a couple of bungs to the track and pipe in some LN2. You get fog effects and track coolingGood write up about Velocicoaster and possible technical issues it's facing

This is the opposite problem that Rockit had, I guess they need wheel coolers for this oneWeld a couple of bungs to the track and pipe in some LN2. You get fog effects and track cooling
Forgot to mention a few months back, but there is a Mr. DNA recorded voice message for those stopped on the 2nd launch. He says something along the lines of "Sometimes you don't make it over the hill all the way, to try again you're going to launch backwards than forwards again, kinda like a slingshot." It's been months though so I can't remember it word for word.

Peacock has a 21-minute long making-of special up now. Really well done with lots of behind the scenes footage and concept art.

To me it smells like the barn smell they use at HHN, but maybe they added a lizard scent to it or something idk
Unfortunately the line moves so fast I usually wiz right past the raptors
In the book, the raptors smelled like decaying meat. I really hope that isn't the smell that they go for.

Man I just rode this for the first time in a while and did this get significantly rougher/shaky over the last few months or did I just have a bad car?

I rode it a bunch before it opened and it was smooth as glass. Then I rode it a few times last month and it’s SO much shakier. Someone mentioned it being the wheels?

No, it's definitely gotten a little shakier recently. For now, it's not too bad and definitely nowhere near as bad as Hulk's or Rip Ride's, but it could become a big problem long-term.
The wheels wear fast on this ride. I’ve gotten a really smooth ride recently, but many very bumpy. Might rely on how worn the wheels are on that particular train that moment of that day.
Also, there’s always been one train that’s rough! I got it first week and was surprised, was told that one is always like that. You never know if you’re gonna get it.

It is also not uncommon for park's to use softer neoprene wheels for the grand opening period to get those "it's so smooth" reviews and switch to a harder wheel when to soft ones wear out.

Hopefully it can stay relatively smooth--Mako for example is still smooth as glass, so no excuses!
I agree that one of the trains is rougher than the others, though I've only had one ride I thought was truly rough and that was in the first month. Even then, the lap bars made it a far more comfortable experience than Hulk.
