VelociCoaster Takes Top Spot as Expert Ranks Best Coasters in Orlando

Orlando's roller coaster scene is among the best in the world, boasting an impressive collection of rides for all ages. From gentle first coasters to record-breaking thrill machines, visitors to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort can enjoy a diverse range of experiences.

A regular visitor to both resorts, who has ridden most of the coasters multiple times, has developed strong opinions about which rides are the best. According to this expert, the top coasters aren't just about speed or intensity; storytelling, theming, re-rideability, accessibility, and overall fun also play a significant role.

The expert's rankings include Trolls Trollercoaster at the bottom, with its 36-inch height requirement being a major drawback. The Barnstormer, on the other hand, remains one of the best introductions to roller coasters due to its accessibility and charming theme.

At the top of the list is Jurassic World VelociCoaster, which combines speed, airtime, theming, and pure excitement like no other ride in Orlando. The expert notes that coaster fans consider this ride one of the greatest roller coasters ever built.
