Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[JaySalahi]

I keep dreaming the backside lockers will look like the waterfall to the right of the JW gate in USB... I know that’s Probably not happening though :/

 

[SkiBum]

TheCoasterKings have a nice update on this coaster. It looks like the majority of the second launch tunnel is not fully enclosed which is not what I expected. I had hoped that it would be themed to an actual cave but also remembered that, in the original Jurassic Park book, the raptors had a nest inside of a concrete tunnel area. Also, the walls are being painted a yellowish tan color.

 

[Magic-Man]

This seriously looks like it could have been ready by Christmas had 2020 not decided to 2020. It's nearly complete.

I was thinking the same, but I think this was the one project in Orlando that just kept going. Having the parks closed for almost three months may have helped a bit too since they didn’t have to work around guests.

It was never scheduled for that time and it's not going to be complete by then. Even without COVID. This is very much a Spring 2021 project.

The entrance to the queue has a few months of work to be done easily and who knows what the inside looks like. I'd imagine that will be the last thing to be done.

Fresh dye or filtered picture?

Fresh dye or filtered picture?

Yes. Haha. Both. The Three Mile Island coaster.

 

[SkiBum]

Yes. Haha. Both. The Three Mile Island coaster.

You don't need lights because everything glows in the dark. Including you after riding.

Interesting view from CityWalk

[Brian G.]

From yesterday

 

[Alicia]

Testing right now. While park is still open.

 

[joelbryant11]

Now they’re just showing off.

Here’s another view:

 

[Legacy]

I repeat.

Dude... it’s remarkably quiet running past Three Broomsticks...

Like, it’s scary quiet considering its size.

 

[Scott W.]

That thing hauls ass.

 

[GAcoaster]

I wonder if they decided to kill two birds with one stone (pun intended) and test the coaster as well as drive off the osprey in case they decide to build a nest again?

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

That thing hauls ass.

To be honest the pacing on this is way more measured than some other Intamins, but I’ve always assumed this would be more family friendly than some of the more aggressive rides out there.

 

[WillQ92]

I wouldn't judge the pacing at all at this point. The test and adjust phase is gonna be mighty long with this one. Several clips have it either flying up into the top hat or just barely making it over.

They have plenty of time to find the sweet spot.
