If only. If only. One can dream.This is based on nothing but personal wishes and interpolating from the concept of a raptor theme, but here's how I'd like to see theming play out with some Dino AA's and the rides potential story

Found my post from 4/5/18 on this thread. Two very prominent & reliable insiders (I'm not an Insider myself) had told me they had info that JPRA would go down for the major redo. That schedule ended up changing in August. If that JPRA redo finally happens in August 2019 that will have been a one year delay. ....Interesting to see how this all plays out.Not an official Universal announcement "yet", but it "strongly" looks like it's on for a close in late summer and reopening next summer. That's about all I can say. I have no details on what changes/upgrades will be made though.
That's probably (definitely) a launch, but we can't tell the elevation or angle of the track from the 2D layout image. What looks like a tight turn may be at an incline, with extreme banking.I'm struggling to make sense of the first turn after the initial show scene. It doesn't look like an alignment that could be taken at high speed, but the straight track between the show scene and that turn seems like it should be a launch?
I "see" 3 inversions and there's potential for at least 2 more.Looking at the layout, and I have to wonder how much of an airtime monster may this attraction be.
I can already guess that we are getting a mininmum of 2-3 inversions, but this ride looks very much like it's going to intersect with the track by quite a bit.

Here’s what I see. I see a diving loop and two heartlines between the two launches. There could be two more after the top hat.

Not completely sure, but I assumed that possible bottom left inversion you circled would be a twisty section like the one on Taron

Maybe they should keep the Mossasaur for the river adventure redo if JPRA ever gets the overhaul. Keep the JP new coaster Raptor themed to blue possibly. Put the I-Rex, Indo-Raptor into the newly themed Jurassic World River Adventure. I think putting all three new dinos in one coaster wouldn’t make sense. Keep the coaster raptor themed.
That section would be far too narrow for something like that. The only thing I could see it being is a turnaround similar to thisMy intrigue, brings me to that curve after the first launch..
..perhaps it could be similar to the Inverted Top Hat that's coming to Carrowinds for Copperhead Strike?
May be a bad example, considering the manufacturer being different to what's being rumored, but I have to wonder if they may look to that as a possible source of inspiration.
That sucks no Mossasaur in Orlando then is this pretty accurate? He is one of the stars of the franchise.Without context, the Mosasaurus from when I was hearing things..would be in the Hollywood version of the overhaul. Just not in the way some may expect.

No, it's not. The mosasaur he's a world-building, gun on the mantle in the first World, and a glorified cameo in the second.That sucks no Mossasaur in Orlando then is this pretty accurate? He is one of the stars of the franchise.
Another way is if the Mossasaur could work in the JP coaster maybe have him included in the lagoon somewhere but make him appear before you launch again not while the coaster is in movement just a thought. As a AA of course.

I really do not understand the obsession with the creature. An AA version would be too slow (at actual size) to really be impressive. The only way it works is as a screen. And do you really want that?
Well it’s just cool to finally see marine reptiles included in the Jurassic Franchise finally. I’m sure their could be a few more in the third JW film but won’t be center of attention.No, it's not.
