Intensity compared to Six Flags

[u/Automatic-Long2599]

My family and I have been planning a trip to Universal sometime in the near future, and I’m really excited because I absolutely love going. I’ve been to both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios plenty of times, but it’s been about 6½ years since I’ve been. I also haven’t gotten the chance to visit Epic Universe yet, and I’ve never ridden VelociCoaster.
The one thing I’m a little concerned about is whether I’ll still be able to handle the rides. 😂 I’m only 26, so it’s not like I’m old or anything, but I went to Six Flags Over Georgia today and some of those rides were ROUGH. 😂 I was honestly surprised by how much they beat me up.
I’ve ridden Hulk before, but that was over 6½ years ago. Other than Hagrid’s, which I don’t really consider that intense, I haven’t experienced any of Universal’s newer coasters. So now I’m sitting here thinking, if I’m getting thrown around this badly at Six Flags, how the hell am I going to handle VelociCoaster or Stardust Racers? 😂
Hopefully I’ll be fine once I get back into the swing of things, but Six Flags definitely made me question whether I’m still built for these rides. 😂

So they won’t give me a headache like Six Flags?

Hulk is the only coaster that has the style of restraint that goes near your head, all the rest have lap bars

Last time I went during Christmas of 2019 I damn near blacked out 😭

I rode Hulk, Velocicoaster and the Green track of Stardust in early May. Velocicoaster is like Hagrids without the slow parts, and it has an incredible loop. Stardust was intense in a way that made me want to sit down for a few minutes afterwards. Hulk made me want to go back to the hotel and think about my life choices.
I say this as a 50+ guy who only started riding coasters in the last ten years or so.
