I imagine there will be some kind of bars or steel mesh on the open viewing areas to maintain the sense of safety/danger. Perhaps they’ll be marked ELECTRIC!.

I like how Bio says "dinosaur resistant" rather than "proof". Leaves possibilities in the story.

So many people are going to be standing around that left viewing area because it’s a great view of both launches.

1) I still wish that we were getting a little more foliage along the path than we appear to be getting. Really hoping I end up wrong on that.

2) Is that burnt orange upper level it’s final color? If so, that’s definitely more JP than JW.

That is not the final color. It's the same insulation they had on the structure on the ground level before they installed gray siding over it.

The burnt orange tarps draped on the scaffolding meant to protect the concrete from drying too fast in the Florida sun?

Any idea why they had to rip out the planter with trees near the Burger Digs? Wasn't that a fairly recent addition to that area (i.e. put in even after construction had kicked in)? It wasn't much, but it certainly helped green things up a tiny bit.

Maybe they moved those plants into the spaghetti bowl jungle.

I wouldn't think that would be the reason.

 

[tielo]

Already that patches of green into the ride makes a lot of difference, softening it up and making it more jungle like. I'm sure when it's done it will look appropriate for the land.

 

[USO92]

I am in genuine awe at the intricacies of this coaster, the amount that they've fit into this space, and how beautiful the theming is turning out to be.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I can't wait to see what is in that show building!

 

[joelbryant11]

Does anyone have an idea of where the lockers and exit gift shop fit into the area? Attaching @Alicia’s graphic if anyone wants to take a stab at it. Looks like they still might expand the structure we have now out more towards the water feature.

I’m hoping we get a decent gift shop along with the ride.

Lockers are in the queue near load so you'll be able to have your items with you the whole queue then put them in the locker right before boarding.

Oh this is how it should be done.

 

[Kevin38]

I think they figured it out that virtual que doesn't work if you have to store your phone .

 

[Alicia]

That extra part of queue that isnt built yet will be exterior covered queue, open air like River Adventure, not full enclosed. Expect a couple Big Ass Fans above. And the ride entrance will be there at end of that, not the current structure.

would it be like a double sided locker with one side being for people in the line and the other for people who just got off? i’m having a hard time getting how it would kinda operate (but love the general idea!)
