Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[ParksManDan]

My new video is up now! It goes over the track layout, includes an update on the land and work walls, but also gets into rumors for scenes, as well as the future fate of the Jurassic land at IOA. Let me know what you think!

Also, I have updated my track layout image slightly and have included the new one used in the video below.

Thanks for that update! This is coming together so nicely I can't wait to ride this. I might be there in October..... hopefully it is up and running by then.

Pretty pointless unless they plan on covering the windows with a temporary vinyl or frost it out.

I think it’s for safety reasons with all the work going on.

I'm guessing we will see another JP arch built over the bridge between LC and JP?

Hmmm maybe at the end of the bridge. But I bet they wait until they know for sure whether it’ll need to be blue/silver or red/gray. If you know what I mean.

Your videos are always great, @Alicia! Even though I don't particularly like any of the information you're relaying to us in this one!

If Universal didn't want to rebuild the arch on the Kong side to bookend the land, I don't know that we should be anticipating they'll build another one on the same side that another currently exists.

Thanks! That actually means a lot to me. If you’re entertained, I’ve succedded.

Yea, I don’t know about a new arch, but I sure would love to see the return of the electric fences.

Is there enough space to rebuild that arc? I miss it greatly as it really added to the JP atmosphere.

It may have been a tight fit, but I'm reasonably sure they could have made it work if they wanted.

I just hate sipping my butter beer and have a coaster going by with screaming people on it from the Jurassic park/world. Muggles, bah.

Oh is it really going to be this overimposing?

It will be when you are sitting in my favourit spot, behind the three broomsticks, if this route of the coaster is true.

It will be close to the back porch of the Broomsticks. Close enough to sip a hog's tea and watch it loop

That’s unfortunate. Guess it’s the price I will pay for wanting to go fast.

It works both ways, because I hate sipping on my Long Island Ice Tea at JPs Watering Hole and having to look at Hogwarts.

Fair point. We need more trees up in there.

 

[Scott W.]

The scene at the start of this would be the only acceptable way for a video tunnel now. It’s what F&F should have been.

It’s actually ridiculous come to think of it that Jurassic Park gets a high speed coaster and F&F doesn’t.

Do you mean the end? The long tunnel scene? I bet that's screen. Holding out hope that scene 1 is actually AA raptors in their pen before the launch.

Yeah I always thought they should've built a two face dividing wall (rock formation on one side and something Hogwarts on the other side), but when you look at the HPFJ emergency exit on the JP side that's is still themed with Hogwarts bricks and not JPs designs... you know UO didn't even thought about it.

I've got my wires crossed.

I envisioned the raptors being released from their pen and as you launch out, the raptors would be running along side you.

Thinking about this, having the tunnel being open is obviously making this a no go.

Onto the real situation.

Would it be possible for the coaster to have a motion base?
