Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Ok, he sent me this instead, but how they filmed the gyrosphere part, so maybe Uni new JP or JW coaster could be gyrosphere

You're (probably) getting new animatronic dinosaurs in the river ride to compensate. Just think about that while the rest of us ride our cool roller coaster.

But seriously, I'm glad for those who are excited for this. Obviously, however, I would prefer it to be a ride that looks nice and feels like it fits the atmosphere of the land.

They used that to get a real sensation of falling in the film, but there’s a green screen behind the actors and all traces of the track was removed, replaced with them falling off a cliff. Good use of practical to get a realistic shot though. And would be fun to ride for sure.

What if this is a Mack Launched Spinning coaster?

It’s a losing battle man. Some here would’ve been fine if DC still loomed over Hogsmeade.

 

[belloq87]

Why would a roller coaster in Manhattan/MSHI or Hogsmeade seem any less out of place then one in Jurassic Park?

I mean, I do think the coasters in New York and Marvel are kind of out of place!

As for what's coming with Potter, that's going to be extensively themed and feature show scenes, landscaping, sets, and everything else. It's also not going to be intruding on the theme and design work of the land.

OMG yes it would, I didn't believe him at first. I would want retake after retake if i was one of the actors. Now though we can see how a gyrosphere train like this could also work somehow for the new coaster(minus the green screen). How fun though if Uni would plan this for the new coaster, plus could work for capacity and sign me up to test ride it. It could work well as a launch and even imagine a Cobra Curse elevator lift up like the dino threw you up and then to spin around and fall towards the water to escape.

I’d argue we should wait on commenting on “looking nice” until it’s done, and like I’ve said, I think a coaster more than fits the atmosphere of the land

I wouldn’t have minded. DC was a ton of fun. What we’re getting will be better, so I’m glad it happened.

What we’re getting in JP is better than what we had (nothing), so again, totally fine with it.

I like the look of coasters tho, not to mention the riding of them, so it’s no big deal to me.

 

[LJGonz]

All I’m gonna say is I think it’s gonna be divisive, but I think people will get used to the look. From what I’ve seen, it looks like it frames the DC.

Some of us are at each other’s throughts about this ride that frames the DC. Please, you have to give us some insider on what you’ve seen...

 

[LJGonz]

This gives you a real good look at the gyrosphere roller coaster scene and more close up shots of it.

And I like going to theme parks and feeling like I’m transported to another world with all the “tricks” cleverly hidden to hold up the illusion.

Big steel coasters ruin that.

They are fun. I enjoyed Nitro at Six Flags but have no desire to go back. Kind of a one and done thing.

They could plop Nitro down in any of the Uni or Disney parks and I’d be ecstatic. Lol

I believe they can be themed to better fit narrative...Hulk obviously isn't because it fits the land perfectly fine being exposed steel

It’s not that it “fits,” it’s that the whole land doesn’t really try to be impressive with all those huge cutouts. It’s very in your face.

Well, for another example, Hippogriff next to Hogwarts has never bothered me really...And the HP Coaster looks great so far...I can't imagine the JP coaster will ruin the theming (more than already has been by HP, ironically)

Hippogriff is small and pretty hidden by trees until you’re right in front of it.

Now you know I can't do that.

What was in my original post is likely all I will say on it. I was purposefully being vague. Not because I want to be that guy saying I know something, but can't say... but because I have to be that guy. Not worth it.

I know you guys want info, but it will come in time.
