Yeah Universal keeps teasing on Twitter about Summer 2021 as it’s official opening date. I think they’re doing this knowing it’ll be open for spring break.

Though with crowds and reduced capacity it also might be shortly after spring break.

This thing is a national treasure. It looks so damn good! After a terrible 12 months, it makes me so happy to see this coaster almost ready.

Sidenote: I think Pantheon has a better elements, but there's no denying it: VelociCoaster is a sexy beast.

I'm still really impressed this type of coaster was added right after Hagrid's. Its crazy how new my next experience at Islands is going to be..
