Storm Force Accelatron

Join Storm and Professor Xavier in Storm Force Accelatron at Universal’s Islands of Adventure!
In this high-energy Marvel-themed spinning ride, Storm recruits guests to help harness the power of a thunderstorm and defeat the villainous Magneto. Once aboard Professor Xavier’s power generator, you’ll spin your vehicle using the center wheel to generate enough force to charge Storm’s powers.

Storm Force Accelatron is often compared to the classic Teacup ride at Magic Kingdom—but with a superhero twist! With bright lights, thrilling spins, and comic book sound effects, it’s a fun, family-friendly attraction that fans of all ages will enjoy.

Did You Know?

• Storm Force Accelatron is the only attraction that does not have a height requirement, outside of Seuss Landing.
• Storm’s power comes from the natural elements of the earth. Did you know Storm comes from a line of African priestesses who all wield special powers?
• Islands of Adventure was added to the Universal Orlando Resort in 1999, but Storm Force Accelatron wasn’t added until a year later.

The Mouse For Less Tips

• Guests typically wait about 10 to 20 minutes for Storm Force Accelatron; however, because this ride is tucked away behind The Incredible Hulk Coaster, it rarely gets close to the latter. Save Express Passes for more popular rides.
• If you are prone to nausea when it comes to motion sickness, you may want to skip this one.
• The great thing about this one is that you can control how fast you spin within your ride vehicle. This helps those who want to ride but may be a little nervous when it comes to motion sickness.
