Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Mike S]

So since the T-Rex is going to "save us" at the end does that mean it will be a different animatronic for the drop? Maybe it will be fighting the Indominus as we drop below them.

My guess is that the Indominus will appear on our side and just when it has us we hear the all too familiar footsteps ahead and the T Rex appears taking the I Rex’s attention away and we drop as they roar at each other.

 

[anihilnation]

I think the portion with the drop will be the Rex on one side and the iRex on the other, yea

I do hope that there'll be less distance between us and the 'finish'; though I like the current finale, it always feels too far away to me.

Everyone assume Creature Tech will do new AAs for this. I hope they do, but I'm a little skeptical, mostly because they definitely don't do skins that would hold up to the elements and water. So it'll be interesting if they are involved. Will certainly be a test for them

Jurassic Park 3 came out in 2001. Make sense to go ahead and update the area to Jurassic World. It is the future of the franchise

Until it isn't and everyone wonders why they based the land off the inferior sequels rather than the original classic.ut:

So putting some more pieces together...

Last week a new permit was filed for a "Project 1301". The overall scope of the project was listed as:

Demolition, Grading, Concrete (Site Work and Retaining Wall) Utility, and Pre-manufactured Accessory Structures (Equipment) Installation

Then, yesterday, some more new permits popped up for Project 130I... a typo for 1301? Or maybe 1301 was the typo for 130I... Either way, these new permits are clearly for the individual parts of the master BLD/ENG permit labled "Project 1301":

My guess is that these permits are for the new (temporary?) Raptor Encounter location that's speculated to be built by the waterfront. The "Pre-manufactured Accessory Structures" are likely the pieces of electric fence for the raptor enclosure.

So now we have two potential project numbers for the JP area - things seem to be moving right along.

It'll still be a dino ride and not a replacement with an ice princess.
I'm glad the old thing gets some tender love and care.

Pre manufactured accessory structure certainly sounds like something they would put in the new Raptor encounter area. I don't remember hearing a project 1301 before. Has anyone else?

You would think since work already began on the area for Raptor Encounter that number would have popped up before. Unless of course the work had not started yet. I don't know if the hints are what has started or is about to start.

It has?

 

[Galaxy Defender]

It has?

Just edited my own post before to qualify that. I could have easily jumped to the conclusion that work had started but the hints actually meant that work was going to happen there.

One of my biggest complaints (only complaint?) about IoA is that JP and Marvel look dated when put alongside Potter...so I’d be absolutely over the moon to see updates to this land

Ah gotcha. I think @Teebin was implying work would be starting on the waterfront soon, but maybe he can clarify.

I have seen the waterfront comment more than once but it could just be Teebin each time. Anyone seen walls, survey markers or any other indications of what might happen along the Waterfront of JP?

If Raptor Encounter is headed down that way, I doubt it would be all that involved as I assume it will be a temporary relocation. There's already a backstage entrance down there, so I'd think they'd set up the Raptor Encounter set in front of that and have the performer come in and out of the backstage access. Then again the permit does say "demolition"...so maybe it will be a permanent move?

Funny. People could end up wondering the same about Star Wars Land.

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Or we're getting a new ride before the JPRA redo. Or we're not getting the JPRA redo at all.

Which do you honestly lean towards?

 

[JungleSkip]

I'm guessing new JP ride and JPRA-refurb (maybe not to the extent USH is getting though) to open in 2020

Personally, I think it would make a good permanent move. Such a beautiful area along the waterfront that most people don't go to.

It might also leave more area along the main walkway for games of chance. Just kidding.

Guests are too dumb to find Diagon Alley. I fear for Raptor Encounto down in no-man’s land...

Maybe...but there's a reason people don't go back there. It's out of the way and no one knows it's there. I hope they start the queue for Raptor Encounter by the main path if they do move it down there permanently
