Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Love the nightime look at the lagoon. Hopefully that lighting on the coaster cars looks as it good as it does here.View attachment 13296

EDIT: Also new food options, so if those empanadas and plantains haven't come over from Hollywood yet, now would be the time.

....as Universal shines a light onto a covid darkened world...:toast:

Absolutely gorgeous. When this opens, IoA is going to have a “Murderer’s Row” of coasters.

I’m pissed they cancelled the churro stand for this :enrage:/s

Looks like there are two different versions of the Discovery Center in the concept art. One with white columns, one with the current orange design (although really muted). I’m guessing the one featured in Teebin’s post is more of a rendered model. Where PerspectiveCoot’s utilized existing imagery. I wonder which will be the final design.

I love the fire effects on the entrance of the ride that also is exciting for the riders.

This could’ve easily been far worse like Flying Dinosaur in Japan. Thankfully it seems they held themselves back and made it look much better than that.

I really don’t know who approved that. VelociCoaster looks to be much less intrusive. Hopefully this stays true whenever I see this thing in person. Only worry is the top hat from Kong or Hogsmeade.

PLANTS!!!!

The lower walkway area (between the drop and barrel roll) is more significant than I was picturing. Is that extended part of the queue that runs right under the top hat connected to it? Can’t tell because it’s blocked by plants.

Bulking up that waterfront area for an eventual lagoon show I hope.

So no animatronic?

Let's see here:

1. Awesome looking train and light effects: CHECK
2. Tunnels/headchoppers: CHECK & CHECK
3. Decent ride length: CHECK
4. Dinosaurs: CHECK
5. Nice top speed: CHECK

Alright, this is an approved coaster. I am much more excited about this than Orion as this ride will be intense and fast. So awesome and such a long wait until it opens.

The track length of this combined with Hagrid’s is about 9,753 feet, or 1.85 miles.

Dragon Challenge had 6,400 combined feet of track.

One of the many reasons these coasters are far superior editions

And unlike DC these coasters aren’t just suspended over a patch of dirt :thumbsup:

I like large gludious maximus and am incapable of telling falsehoods.

And you’re getting Intamin so if you aren’t a size queen and you’re in the “it’s how you use it” gang, Intamin still wins... so this is definitely a win win situation.
