This is Universal Orlando we're talking about. They will announce the Jurassic World / New Ride details July 2020, three days before it opens.

True. I had just saw a JW TV spot and it got me excited for both the movie and this new expansion. I was thinking about the JW overlay (or potential that is) for River Adevnture and I remember reading a post about a Mosassaur AA. I think a cool spot for it could be as you are turning into the Raptor containment area and you see it pop out in the distance. Would love to see updated AAs.

I’m surprised this potential coaster would go over the water. I didn’t think Universal would want to mess with that aesthetic. I also so posts about adding the Mosassaur AA to the lagoon but I just don’t see it

Low-Key, I am wondering if they may try to keep one of the rooms of Trike Encounter standing for a last horrah, and then announcing a Two-Year Jurassic project with the first project being the River Adventure revamp for 2019.

The Trikes are long gone. Been using the barns for storage and stuff last few years.

The only spot that makes sense on the current ride is putting the Mosasaur in the Ultrasaur lagoon. No other part of the river is believably big enough to hold it.

At least one of the 3 is used as a Raptor Encounter dressing room. Last video someone posted showed them also remodeling a second one.

What type of issues? Ran fine when I was there. Saw the Evac on the lift that made the news but that was just over exaggerated.

Food for thought, what if Universal Orlando just takes a page from Hollywood, and that they could just use the new Raptor molds debuted with Blue at Hollywood for a walk-around model?

It would certainly clear up any possible issues for Raptor Encounter and the construction site, especially if they want to redo that Discovery Center completely.

To add to the discussion about a new coaster, the reason Universal needs a big time thrill coaster in JP is that they need to keep being able to offer something Disney doesn't. When they had Hulk and Dragons, combined with very immersive dark rides, it represented a nice mix of Disney and SW/BG.

If I were to get nastalgic about IOA, it would be seeing guest drawn to head left by the (natural) roar of the Hulk. I feel the reverb killed that.

Being so close to HP, I’m not sure a JP coaster could do something like that, but I think it would be way on theme if they found a way to have some sort of Dino roar coming from the woods while a coaster flys by.

I'd rather a coaster in JP not have a "roar," I want the experience from walkways to be more like BGT's Cheetah Hunt.

This coaster has to be quiet, considering the proximity to HP.

Love the roar of the Hulk from the bridge & near the Hulk entrance area. I prefer this roar to the loud noise from before.

Eh it sounds the same to me.

Looking at those single rail POVs, this is an exciting prospect. When might this get announced?

So the concepts we heard about for the JP coaster over the years were amber mines, raptor themed... any other concepts out there that we know about that might be what they're moving forward with?

Signs seem to be pointing to it not being particularly themed to anything, outside of whatever it ends up being named.

The launch wasn't put in by RMC though, Universal could easily get a different company then whoever did Dollywood's launch.
