Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[shiekra38]

It’ll retheme to Jurassic world because they’d be stupid not to. I’m surprised there’s not more activity in this thread considering how huge this project is. Anybody have concrete stats yet on height and speed?

This thread will go nuts when track starts popping up

Yea, and sadly I think we're a while away from that day.

 

[JawsVictim]

I was thinking how JW has to include something with the gyrosphere because it’s so iconic to that film. Then I remember how JP doesn’t have any attractions involving the Jeep.

They were quite busy moving dirt yesterday. To semi-quote Ian Malcolm, "That's one big pile of (dirt)" next to the Discovery Center.

I am so ready for track to start going up. I want to see this beast!

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I just wanna see how this will look in the sight lines of IOA.

High. And fast!

And personally, I’m starting to second guess the Jurassic World thing. What if, they actually leave it Jurassic Park? That way, unlike something like Galaxy’s Edge, where it’s the same on both coasts, Universal parks actually have different offerings. Crazy notion I know. But, something I feel like they might be considering.

Hence my theory of making the track and supports all black. Can play to JW or JP when they finally decide, if they haven't already.

They'll be moving dirt for the next six months. It's called "stalling." :thumbsup:

What an absolutely tragic advert for the UK

Got word the other day the current plan is not to turn Jurassic Park into Jurassic World, but the new coaster will be based on JW. The Discovery Center and River Journey are staying as is according to current plans.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

It's so funny...most of the official reviews I see online are positive, but almost every comment section about it is quite negative.

I feel like JPRA could use a refresh, but they should be careful about taking away what people like about the current version if they were to do so.

TBH, even back in '99 I don't think a water ride was the best route to go with JP, since they already had TL--I think a jeep ride would've been best.

This goes along with what I’ve heard recently. Although, the coaster won’t be overtly JW, just featuring characters/raptor from it.

 

[GAcoaster]

Yeah, kind of surprised they're not doing the River Adventure upgrade, but that could be done after the new coaster opens to keep capacity up.

Thank the Maker.
(They should still refurbish the ride and add more theming to the area though.)
