This just made me punch my dashboard!! Not much too see but just the fact that its moving forward:grin:

Seems just like yesterday we were complaining about Universal moving game booths from Lost Continent into Jurassic Park. Time sure flies by.

There were booths in Lost Continent?? Man, I'm too young to keep up with all of this!

Judging by how fast they’re moving along with all this, I’m assuming that this will be ready for 2020 and not 2021 as some people thought?

If the brewing theory is one attraction per year, with HP this year, Bourne/T2 replacement next year, it may still be 2021. Then again, maybe there are other reasons for getting this coaster in faster. Refurbs/retheming elsewhere?

I don't see anyway how this isn't open in 2020, and how T2 isn't open this year.

I don't disagree with you there! I think doing an attraction each year is smart to market, but not necessarily feasible with the progress of the current projects.

 

[Alicia]

Don't forget a Volcano Bay expansion somewhere in there.

I have no idea when the JP coaster is planning on opening, but 2020 is certainly possible.

Still baffled that this hasn't already begun

That gap year is going to pay off big.

BREAKING! I'm hearing the games will not be demolished, instead are being removed intact! No clue if that means they will show up elsewhere in Jurassic Park, in another land like across from the other Toon Lagoon games, or just left backstage for the time being. That is all.

 

[Bobharlem]

What's the purpose of removing the games? Is it to open up the walkway since the left side is likely to shrink while work is going on, or is it something else?

That's it! And maybe to add an exit for new Raptor Encounter, but I think fire safety was number one reason. Once the work walls go up around the Trike plot, that walkway is going to get tight.

Also, all kiosks in the area are either being relocated or remaining... except one...

This monstrosity is being leveled and not retained as far as I've heard, thankfully:

 

[WolfmanJ]

Now, will we enter the Raptor Encounter via the River Adventure entrance, or will it have it's own separate entrance like it does now?

 

[JungleSkip]

Finally! The death of the “Trip Planning” booth! Now let’s kill the one by MIB

Maybe there saving them for Fantasic Worlds

If the bridge goes, then I wonder if they will reopen the lower areas of JP again... hmmm

But how will guests know about Blue Man Group! (In Oct we walked past this with Mike and Ann and there was a dude pushing dinging plan hard, super uncomfortable)

I'm guessing never as they'll be removed.

Anyway.....

Potter & T2: 2019
JP Coaster/VB?: 2020
USF?/??: 2021
Fantastic Worlds: 2022

 

[Magic-Man]

It's about time!

They’re building a good defence against everything Disney has coming.

What a time to be a theme park fan.

 

[Teebin]

So, this kind of means that people dining outside at the 3 Broomsticks will be watching velociraptors wizzing by. That is something to ponder...

And they also, right now, watch and hear Hulk too. So...

"We", royal we, like to look at what is known-ish then extrapolate. But when there is smoke there is usually fire. I have no doubt that the Universal parks are accelerating after ten years of growth, I just hope Disney continues their growth after less than that.

Only in a theme park amiright?

Also, I think you mean a non-descript coaster themed to velociraptors or whatever
