Jurassic World VelociCoaster Claims Roller Coaster Crown
Universal Orlando's Jurassic World VelociCoaster stormed to the front of the pack in its debut season, claiming our Theme Park Insider Award for Best Roller Coaster this year.
Like last year's winner in this category, its neighbor Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, this Intamin coaster showed strong cross-over appeal with Theme Park Insider readers, winning support beyond the base of roller coaster fans.

If no candidate receives a majority of the nominations in its category, candidates with the most nominations are named finalists.
