Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Wow, they even put some foliage in the little cranny between the launch & return track. Real life is looking way better than the video rendering. And they still have a lot more meat left on the bone in terms of this waterfront area. Going to look amazing by New Year's I'd guess.

Midway Mayhem’s Youtube shows it running! If you look carefully even the opening Immelmann in the distance and an upside down part...

Judging by how it crested the top hat, it looks like it is going a little slower on this run.

It is insane to me how they can keep these coasters so quiet

Looks like there's some killer hangtime going into the dive loop. Part of me hopes that they speed the first half up a bit, but the other part of me hopes they don't. That hangtime with those lapbars is gonna be sweeeeeet.

Still plenty of speed on the return

When could we see hirings for VelociCoaster?

 

[jarmor]

Will that bridge from lost continent be open all the time? Seems they wouldn't' want to reroute people from potter. . .

It is a tool they can use to control crowd flow, there are times they don't want any more people in Hogsmeade

Theyre already brought on the commissioning team.

I can see the new bridge being the main bridge and the old bridge being a viewing area and photo opp location. It's also a more natural flow to the new coaster. It would also be a better location for the entrance gate so you won't see Hogswarts anymore when you enter the gate.

I’m not sure I’m following what you’re saying. Are you saying close the old bridge’s access into JP? That would make it very hard for someone who just went on FJ or FotH to get to Jurassic Park. I think they will end up keeping both open full time and guests will adjust over time.

yes, especially in the future when they're able to do the night projection shows again. That was always a mess when the second bridge wasn't opened, which was usually the case.

Does anyone have any idea what this new scaffolding is for?

More nets? Lighting? Not sure.

A 50 foot tall Owen Grady statue

 

[sonoma15]

Could they be doing some type of weathering on the supports? That's the only thing I could think of.

If you look closely, it appears they're adding braces for netting.

The foliage on the outside of the wall adjacent to the Immelmann and mountain top is perfect.

If they made this much of an effort to hide the coaster paddock walls with foliage, they’re doing to do the same in front of the FJ lockers. *crosses fingers*
