Universal Orlando Resort officials announced that on June 10, thrill-seekers will have the opportunity to soar 155 feet in the air and catapult up to 70 mph alongside a ferocious velociraptor pack on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Florida’s fastest and tallest launch coaster, located at the Islands of Adventure theme park.

Hagrid’s only goes virtual when the crowds become too much too handle. I expect the same here.
I've only seen the VQ during my pandemic visits. FWIW It's currently marked as a 60 minute wait.
We went to ride Hagrid’s in February of 2020. We were in the park as early as we could manage- it wasn’t for lack of trying, there was quite a crowd at the gate. We got to the ride and the promised/posted wait time of 90 turned into an actual wait 3 hours and 10 minutes. Downtime, downtime, downtime.
I left Orlando 2 weeks ago. Too bad I missed this soft opening. It sounds like an easy one to catch with minimum hassle.
I completely forgot it wasn't officially open until today because they have done such a good job with the soft open. Seeing the line on the news today and knowing it's been open for the last 6-7 weeks with wait times in the 30-45 minute range (with 15 minute waits in the evening) makes me happy to be in my office this morning and not at the park.
As others have said, it’s been soft opened for weeks. They were really being careful to not have another Hargrid-like failure.
The churros are a nod to them denying it was Jurrasicoaster and claiming it was a churro stand before the official announcement… :)
I know I’m late to the party but, down here for HHN and wow is this coaster sweet. I think I have a new Intamin speed coaster, sorry Maverick. It may even crack the top ten, smooth, forceful, full of airtime and comfortable. Home run.
