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.

Hagrid would probably be my favorite ride of all time if the line wasn’t always at least 90 minutes long.

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

Honestly Jimmy Fallon ride is probably my guilty pleasure💀 the queue was amazing imo and the ride is great to take a break from walking for a while

[allysonbrandt]

The mummy has been my favorite ride FOR YEARS!!! My friends and i rode this back to back so many times. There was never a line!! I feel like this is underrated

[timfolly]

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.

I wish they changed the cat in the hat to a Lorax ride and have the songs from the movie

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

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 ❤

Let’s all be honest we all use fast and furious as an AC Break

[jessicag]

I rode Pteradon Flyers at a private event once, and it was surprisingly terrifying. It goes a lot faster than it looks, and you swing out a bit! I'm glad I had the chance to ride it, and I'd love to do it again now that I know what to expect :D

[jujuaurelus]

As a cast member at Fast and Furious, I can in fact confirm that we’re in on the joke. We all know just how terrible this ride is 💀

[Hylodatus]

I always stay in theme parks from rope drop until it closes and Islands of Adventures is no different. During the last 50 minutes of Islands of Adventure being open, I managed to ride VelociCoaster and Hagrid's. Running from Jurassic Park to Hagrid's with only 4 minutes remaining until the park closed was definitely worth it. I got to experience those rides during the daytime and nighttime, and I regret absolutely nothing.

Roller coasters + Donkey Kong Country Returns music? We are best friends now.

I TOTALLY AGGRE! Dudley is the best water ride! I'm going to universal in a couple of weeks so it was nice watching this video

[HM-yesz]

I remember riding hagrids for the first time, and the drop caught me soo off guard. It was an amazing ride with the launches, theming, and backward section.

[WebExtension]

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.

[jonathanbowers]

Kings Island in Ohio already has a coaster that would be almost exactly what you would want in a Fast and Furious coaster. Originally themed to "The Italian Job" (a Paramount discount version of Fast and Furious) it has the car chase elements and even a vehicle catching on fire.

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.
