I think they are OK before the nest is established and eggs are laid, lIke putting spikes on power poles.

Lol, I love them just blatantly walking it through the middle of the park
So, coaster entrance statue? Or might it be on a very fast part of the ride seen briefly? Hm...

I'm thinking this may be for an entrance marquee, maybe two giant rocks with two raptor statues, and a giant sign saying "Velocicoaster" if not, then this statue may be going onto one of the pieces of rockwork.
Strange they would do this in the middle of the day, but hey it is 2020.

I am puzzled they are just openly doing this unless the intent is to build to an imminent announcement, which doesn't seem likely.
Inasmuch as I can tell, the figure looks great, though I hope it's only for the marquee and won't be a static figure on-ride.

I mean, what's the point in trying to be secretive when there's a 170ft top hat already built? lol
I'd be fine with either. Realistically, there could be points where a static figure would look fine considering how fast we'll probably be going, but I'd hope for some movement in most of the on-ride Raptors

If they didn't want people to see it, it would have been covered in tarps. This is ingenious marketing.

Can we call it a Wraptor?

Well, that's an interesting pink flamingo for the "landscaping" project they're working on.
In this time of covid, I would guess there's now a different mindset. Namely get as many social media clicks that you can for a future attraction. Secrecy begone.

*puts on tinfoil hat*
Dragging the statue through the park in the middle of the day sure is an easy way to draw some buzz on social media and get those 2021 ~revenge tourism~ bookings to start filling up.
Edit: @Mad Dog and I had the same thought at the same time.
