Every Ride at Universal Orlando Resort RANKED!

Between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, the Universal Orlando Resort holds over 30 attractions. But, that begs the question - which are the best of the best, and which are the worst? In this video, I'll be ranking every ride at Universal Orlando, from the brand-new Velocicoaster, to the classic E.T. Adventure. This is my longest video essay yet, so I hope you all enjoy.

[@MCVillager461]

I agree with you on Hagrid's. I remember the first time I road it, I was truly shocked. I was in line thinking, "Oh, this is just a less intense Hulk ride." But, I was wrong. The intensity wasn't as high as something like Rip Ride Rockit until that drop. I remember when Hagrid said "Looks like you ran out of power.", me and the guy next to me looked at eachother, straight into the other's eyes, then we started to go backwards, and we both screamed. That was 2 years ago, and it still remains as my favorite ride I have ever been on.

I think it's such a good sign that by far the best two rides in either park are the two most recent. Gives me tons of hope and excitement for the future of the resort

[@doja187]

i’m here now for the first time and bummed to learn that these 2 newest rides that i rode on my first day are the only decent rides in the park. i mean the rides are alright but overall feels like i’m just at six flags really. at disney world there are a lot more really interesting and unique rides even if they aren’t all rollercoasters. but i agree universal is going in the right direction. that’s why i decided to go

[@cyvonix]

@@doja187 Disney is absolutely unmatched in terms of dark rides, I don't think anyone could argue otherwise. But if you're a thrillseeker, I do feel Disney would leave a bit to be desired. Hollywood Studios is definitely the closest but the other three are much more focused on experience rather than excitement I would say. Absolutely nothing wrong w that but they're for different kinda people I think.

[@doja187]

@@cyvonix for sure. disney has substantially more to do, but only a few “roller coasters” but now they have tron, and guardians of the galaxy, which was like a crossbreed between rockn roller coaster and space mountain which was really fun, hopefully they keep adding more. for me disney springs is also a huge plus because it would take seemingly a lifetime to eat at all the different restaurants and experiences. My favorite park is epcot. test track, mission space, spaceship earth, there’s just nothing else out there like it. they really are life changing experiences that all inspired me as a kid to just be a better person. love it

[@cyvonix]

@@doja187 I have a strong desire to go back to Epcot. Having all those cultural aesthetics and cuisines within a short walk has always been so cool to me and I would love to revisit it especially now that I'm older. Funnily enough, when we went to Universal they were doing the Mardi Gras event in which they spread food booths around the park each with food and drinks from a different origin, so I ended up getting some of that anyway lol! Agreed with the last part, these kind of places have def inspired my creativity more than anything, I've done deep dives into the design processes and everything that goes into it and that kinda stuff really interests my brain and makes me want to create

[@ashleewoods9205]

Jimmy Fallon's ride is a lot better than people want to admit honestly. It's not great, but it's fine enough to where I don't feel insulted by it lmao

[@timfolly7323]

I think your list brings to mind that Universal/IOA need more dark rides. It would nice to see a 8+ minute dark ride in the vain of Pirates, Haunted Mansion, or even Small World. All high capacity with good ride length. Hopefully we will get a Creature from the Black Lagoon or Lord of the Rings boat ride in the future. I appreciate E.T. because it’s enjoyable and of decent length and allows you to chill and enjoy. Not every ride needs to be intense or be interactive. Think of all the rides at both parks. How many don’t have jarring or intense elements? Seuss trolley, carousel, ET, Flyers, and the dumbo clones. Universal has upped its story building with Potter lands and attractions. Dark rides are great opportunities to tell a longer more in-depth story. Plus a long ride in a cool building in Florida is always welcome. Great video and list.

[@bmush]

@@zachellenburg5738 Really? Rise of the Resistance is Disney's only ride in the last 5 years? Since Rise of the Resistance Disney has made 2 roller coasters. And one of them, Cosmic Rewind, is amazing. Tron is just so so. They aren't as intense as some other roller coasters, but they are both intense enough to not be considered kiddie rides. Cosmic Rewind is the most intense indoor coaster I've ever seen. Way more than Gringotts or Mummy or Space Mountain and a bit more then Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (The spinning makes it a bit more intense to me than Rock n Roller Coaster, but since that has inversions I can see a bit of a debate). Regardless, Disney has made intense rides since Rise.

Velocicoaster is my favorite too because I love the thrill and I only ever wait tops an hour. I tried to ride hagrid at a 75 min wait and ended up waiting an hour and 40 mins, the line would not move at all. Hagrid is beyond incredible but that wait just makes it so hard for me to want to ride it

[@niachampignie944]

As a total beginner, revenge of the mummy was so cool. Before I went to universal last month, the last time I'd been to a theme park was over 10 years ago. My nephews first took me to the minions ride which I actually found a bit scary 😂 and directly after that it was straight to revenge of the mummy. I was TERRIFIED. When I got off I swore I'd never get on it again. And yet I rode it all 4 days I went to the park, because I loved it so much. I even walked between parks because I wanted to get on it so bad it didn't matter I was exhausted. I got a cat plushie from the gift shop to remember it. This is my love letter to revenge of the mummy ❤

During the last 50 minutes of Islands of Adventure being open, I managed to ride VelociCoaster and Hagrid's.

I'll never forget one year my grandma took me to universal, and I made it my duty to ride rip saw falls 20 times in one day. I somehow managed it by going as a single rider. I haven't been in years, but I still think back to that so fondly. I was happy to see you put it so high on the list, I definitely think it's a bit of a sleeper hit. It will always be my personal favorite because of that trip, I still have most of the script memorized to this day, I don't think I can ever forget it.

Hagrid’s is my favorite ride of all time. I’m SO scared of roller coasters and this particular ride got me to take a step in that fear. And I’m so glad I did. Every time I’m at the park, I look forward to the coaster more than any other attraction. Not to mention Harry Potter world is one of my all time favorite places ever.

YES!!! I’m absolutely TERRIFIED of roller coasters, but Hagrids has my entire heart!! I was super scared to ride this the first time but after I rode it- instantly I was hooked. Not sure if I’d ride any other big rollercoaster (like the Hulk) but at least I know I can handle one “big” coaster 😂😂

[@WebExtension1]

I prefer Velocicoaster. Hagrids is an incredible ride, but that's all it is, a normal rollercoaster, but significantly better. However, the lap restraints on velocicoaster give it an extra feeling that nothing I've ever experienced before can match. Every turn throws you in ways that no other ride can as your entire upper body is free to move. It's partially why I like space mountain, its absolutely terrifying. The roughness and low over head track gives me a feeling I can only describe as fear, and it gives it a feeling that no other rollercoaster can give me.

[@christophermendoza6936]

Very solid list overall and well done. Definitely loveee Hagrids best ride ever, and it’s as you stated the perfect thrill level, so many more people can enjoy it, that don’t do coasters like VelociCoaster. Mummy also one of the best rides ever

[@hosly101]

I will say that the Jimmy Fallon ride isn't very good but it's "never having a line" is probably attributed to the really great way they structure the line / queuing process. After being on my feet all day I vividly remember LOVING this line's queuing system solely because of the ample seating available while you wait during the weird little pre-shows / virtual gaming tables. Again, the "ride" is barely that, but the parkgoer line experience with the card/color system they use for this line SLAPS and I wish they did it for more rides.

I was lucky enough to ride on peteranadon flyers, as I was still young enough and I was with my father in the parks. I believe around the time skull island was being constructed. From what I remember, it was a very peaceful and nice when we were up there. The swinging from side-to-side was neat, and it makes it more speedy and akin to “flying” than the ski-lift style attractions from my local fair. It was cool seeing jurassic park from above, as velocicoaster hadn’t been built. I think we even got to see the kong building being constructed, but I don’t really remember. Overall, it was a neat ride. Not the most thrilling or interesting ride in the park by a long shot, but it was a nice place to chill out for a bit after the hot sun. (Also, for the record, Mythos was still SO UNDERRATED back then. We would go in the cool air-conditioned building and get served an incredible dish and we’d be the only ones in there. Also R.I.P Poseidons fury)

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

What I like about the parks is they have a tester outside for every ride, unlike Disney where you just waste your time waiting in line for a ride you can't get on. At least you know where you stand at Universal.

[@aaronb.7751]

There are testers at some Disney rides. Tron and Avatar have testers

I’m going in the middle of September, quieter time , what’s the ques like at velocoaster and hagrids? Week days ?? Staying on resort to so can get in the park an hour early as well

[@mxmaddds]

it’s always long you definitely will be waiting more than a hour

[@zaksims1981]

@@mxmaddds I’ll make sure to get there at 7am before the 8am 1 hour early walk for people staying in resort in a midweek day , and go to straight to it 😆 😃

It feels weird hearing someone talk about how getting theme park rights to Harry Potter was super important and would get you tons of popularity considering Harry Potter's current reputation.

I mean they are based on the original movie franchise which is considered to be amazing and is a huge part of so many peoples childhoods.

[@user-go3jf7vb5w]

I’m 15 and just yesterday went and experienced the velocicoaster and as my first big coaster it was beautiful

[@ericnoh7339]

The Storm Force Accelatron is such a baffling ride to me. When I went on it, the door to the cup flew open. I alerted it to the staff and their response was "uhhh yea, that's supposed to happen." When I told him that none of the other cups did that, he just shrugged.

[@ACGator03]

Great video

[@RyanDaRizzle]

Do you know about the secret song list on Hollwood RRR? It gives rise to my favorite way to cheat at the coaster count: Counting each individual song on Hollywood RRR as a separate credit

[@hellomerio]

Lol, I love picking Movin' Right Along.

[@RyanDaRizzle]

@@hellomerio I usually go with one of the Metallica songs

[@deaker123]

Never in my life have i gotten more sick than I have after the simpsons ride. So glad my parents got to bring me to universal when i was younger so i got to experience Jaws, Twister, earthquake, back to the future... Back then it was so much better with less of all their 3D video/motion movie rides. Jaws might have looked so bad and fake but the cast members making it fun trumps any moving projector rides.

[@commissionproductions]

I was there last year and totally agree… that thing is the closest thing to a torture machine I’ve ever been on

Hey, nice list but I think will be even better if you use a table for the rankings such a Tiermaker, so we can all see the ranking in a graphical way or table while you are listing the rides one by one. Cheers

[@hellomerio]

I'll consider it in the future!

[@Fabler]

very honest and good points

[@snakevenom56]

Now you're making me sad I didnt get to ride Hagrids due to its closure when i went last year. Got to ride the Mummy though!

[@mumblejumble9022]

Went through fast an furious ride for the first time and I have to say the best part was that I was one of the last groups and the ride/wait people knew the prerecorded dialog so well that they could make jokes around it

[@MasterCorneilous]

I went on the mummy. It was pretty good. Also. The velocicoster. That was awesome.

[@giganosaurus7777]

Fun fact about the Poseidon walk through ride, the trident is actually the same one from the shop, I remember because I got to hold it since the cast member noticed I had the birthday badge lol.

As a former Florida resident I gotta say you didn't miss much on the back to the future ride. Setting aside nostalgia it is a low tier sim ride. The upgrade is better in every way, but it's still a sim...son!

[@lordziz]

I was going to say I didn't understand Hagrid's being at #1, but then I realized my opinion of it is probably tainted by how long I had to wait to get on it and how often it has technical issues. By itself, when everything goes right, it really is an amazing experience you can't get anywhere else. That said, Velocicoaster felt much more worth the wait that I had to get through to go on it. Hopefully the next time I go I can get a less biased view of both, as well as Escape from Gringotts which was barely functioning the only time I went on it.

[@ArianaWoods112]

I love Hagrids. People say I’m crazy but it’s my favorite

[@adamwick3262]

Fire video, subscription added

[@musicmastrr8000]

I honestly hated Forbidden Journey just because of the fact that while we were riding it they had technical difficulties and of course it had to stop while we were hanging upside down. Definitely felt like I was gonna die until they were able to fix it.

[@frozenvoice9472]

Same thing happened to me

The Cat in the Hat is great for one reason: short line = cooling off in the AC

[@AJ-sx4zz]

I went on my own recently and took advantage of the single rider line it was great

[@eee-th8yk]

Went to Universals last month it was fun! Sadly, the Hagrid one was broken for 2 weeks so we couldn't attend, though everyone said it was soo fun. :(

[@sam06pr]

Cat and the hat was so good back in the day. So sad to see it like it is now.

[@sophiebophiex]

20:51 that exact ice cream stand was the spot me and my friends sat at for 3 hours (before moving to citywalk and sitting for another 3 hours) because we didnt get a break day on our school trip to orlando and we were all just so dead and exhausted

[@mxmaddds]

just a tip next time you go ik how hot it can get cause it’s florida but the jimmy fallon ride is nice and cold it has a sitting couch too

[@jgd5ygdyhcr6]

As someone who got to pteranodon flyers several years ago when I was very young I remember loving it so much I forced my mum to take me back on altho she was terrified I'd fall out for some reason lol

[@ChrisHonthy]

My friends and I went for my graduation trip a couple years ago and we made the mistake on our Islands of Adventure day to go on the Popeyes ride second. We were soaked and cold for almost the entire day.

Jimmy Fallon was probably my favourite ride when I was there, I loved it - surprised its so low down

[@kylebicker7649]

I mean, if Dr. Doom had a second shot and bounce, and then a drop at the end, it'd be better

[@cshimp10]

Pre-spin fix Cat in the Hat was THE BEST. I totally love Tilt-a-Whirl, but CitH? Fantastic. Back to the Future was awesome, and was similar to how Simpsons the Ride works, whereas you sit in the vehicle and it's on a piston with a surrounding screen. Plus, being able to chase Biff through time was just mesmerizing. I believe I was 10 so it was long ago. [edited for spelling errors]

[@Bryceyo]

Shocked how low you ranked Rip Ride Rocket. Maybe my all time favorite Rollercoaster. Such a blast.
