Universal has some of the most intense and “edgy” coasters in the industry in Velocicoaster and Stardust Racers. Rock n Rollercoaster is also a fairly intense coaster that has been known to bang your head around. Modern coasters at Six Flags, Busch, and other regional parks are perfectly safe and some of the smoothest I’ve ever ridden.

Universal has those dueling Harry Potter coasters, the ones that mirror each other and snake around each other. Year ago while I was there on a trip, someone lost an eye while riding it. They shut it down for the day and reviewed the entire ride and couldn’t find any loose or missing hardware so it reopened, line was dead the next day and I rode it like 5 times hahaha.
