Universal’s newest coaster, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, at Islands of Adventure, quickly became a fan favorite attraction among the guests. The ride officially opened in June of this year, and while most guests watching the roller coaster go by respect the track and the riders, there have been instances where others have thrown objects in the area. of the track.
We previously reported on a group of guests who were reprimanded for throwing ice on the track at past runners. When guests are riding the VelociCoaster, they should store all loose items in a locker before boarding the vehicle to ensure that nothing falls into the track area during their ride. As you can imagine, Universal also prohibits guests from throwing objects at the roller coaster, as this could endanger riders moving at blazingly fast speeds. The coaster also has plexiglass around certain areas of the attraction to protect both guests and riders.
Inside the Magic recently spoke to Bev Thomas, who saw a mother and son arguing. During the argument, the son’s glasses fell off and broke. It appears that in a fit of anger, the boy threw the broken glasses into the VelociCoaster trail. Of course, behavior like this is incredibly dangerous, and with the members of the Universal Team in sight, the guest was immediately nabbed. He was reprimanded and was almost pulled from the park. After team members spoke to the guest, he seemed incredibly embarrassed about his actions. Luckily there weren’t any roller coasters going by as he threw away his glasses, otherwise things could have been a lot worse.
Universal team members and security will always ensure that park guests follow proper security protocols and procedures. If you plan to visit Universal Orlando Resort, always make sure you follow their rules and regulations and respect the team members who enforce them.
