Perhaps it is just me, but I don't see a point in bringing JW to the new park..This reads to me like they just changed their mind about what was going where, and what order it was going to happen in. Last fall, MOM and Nintendo in Kidzone were done deals and happening any minute. Then it seems like everything changed. Maybe, at that time, JW was planned for the new park. If they shifted plans and sent Nintendo(and maybe MOM) to the new park, maybe that meant taking JW out of that park to make room. Once that decision is made, a major update to JP makes sense. Depending on the timing of the new park, that probably means that this has to happen now before all the construction crews get sent south. Not ideal, but its rolling with the punches.
Yea I hope it’s just that someone came to the realization of “Why the hell are we going to build another Jurassic Park Land when we already have one?”Perhaps it is just me, but I don't see a point in bringing JW to the new park..

I think to do the Gyrosphere right, it either needs to go in the new park, or they need to wipe out a lot of the existing JP.
Or you just take the Gyrosphere ride system and theme it to something else
Then you didn't do the Gyrosphere ride. We talk on here all the time about movies that are hard to translate into rides. The Gyrosphere is the most theme park ready concept for a ride, maybe ever.
There’s no reason the gyrosphere couldn’t be adapted to fit another property
Maybe LotR entered the picture and the setting is too similar to JW? One can hope. :bow:This reads to me like they just changed their mind about what was going where, and what order it was going to happen in.

Yes, you could make a Minions Gyrosphere ride. They could put it right next to the Mario Kart ride themed to Shrek.
YES, YES, YES YES, YES and YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!They can launch a new Jurassic Park with updated restaurants based of Jurassic World (essentially redoing Pizza Predatoria and the Coke Oasis)...Re-routed entrance into the land to hid Hogwarts, New coaster in Camp Jurassic, updates to Discovery Center, revamped JPRA, New archway or sign by Kong
The Gyrosphere is a fun concept, just not needed...It would be just like JPRA in a hamster ballI think to do the Gyrosphere right, it either needs to go in the new park, or they need to wipe out a lot of the existing JP.

It needs a photo op, that's about it
I agree, and JW appears to be a dull rehash of JP. Nothing new appears to be added to the storyline.Am i the only one who doesn't like the idea of a gyrosphere ride? Unlike the jeeps, or the DNA attraction is JP, the gyrosphere attraction really annoyed me. Maybe the lack of theme for the entrance of the fictional attraction. I didn't even like the idea of being in a sphere. It felt too silly.
I don't really want JW to retheme JP. I really don't like JW, and while it did make a lot of money, people had a lot of issues with the sexist themes with both lead characters, the dull children, the abundance of cgi, and the overall messy plot. While it's a fun movie, it doesn't resonate like Jurassic Park does with a lot of people. Also the branding and identity design that Jurassic Park utilizes feels a lot more adventurous than the blue & grey hues that come in the branding for Jurassic World. I don't want IOA to incorporate any of that brand aesthetics into Jurassic Park.
For quick reference, here's the map of JP at Islands.
The Discovery Center isn't nearly as landlocked as I personally thought. You could easily take the area next to Discovery Center (the old Triceratops Encounter?) and use that as part of a ride. In fact, you could use Discovery Center as a queue and then have the ride on the empty land. That would fix my biggest gripe at Islands - how useless the Discovery Center is.View attachment 6325
A baby triceratops coaster would be cute and a bit of a tie-in to JW.
