Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[TheDecemberists]

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.

Here’s to hoping it flies over it! Regardless of speed, with the trim being located further along the tophat, this will definitely be a front row coaster.

I didn’t know we were allowed to post NSFW content here

This is the best one I’ve seen.

What I love about that stall is the full train gets inverted.

 

[Trumen882]

This really turned out even better than how I envisioned it. They really hit it out of the ball park

It looks like that is not supposed to be happening :dance:

Nice

Ok, big fan of how the waterfront is looking!

 

[joelbryant11]

From a couple of days ago, really good look at the extended queue section. This extended queue area below the top hat and along the waterfront is going to be awesome.

Shade or greenhouse? Hope it cools

So I've been off the forums for a bit, I see this has opened already /sarcasm

Seriously though, mightily impressive work Universal, I was hyped for Hagrids at this stage of build but this....this looks something else!

 

[Parkscope Joe]

More foliage added to the waterfront.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Loving those water grasses. Little things like that can make such a huge difference.

 

[TheWalkingDad]

It's funny though. I remember months ago speculating about foliage and thematic elements... and now that it's being installed, it's almost like we either guessed really well, or they read the forums. Idk but it's going to be one heck of a churro stand.

This vid estimates a capacity of 2,040 riders per hour based on the length of the ride (a train dispatched every 42 seconds based on 4-5 trains on the track at once).

At this point there needs to actually be a churro stand. Try to make the Butterbeer of churros.

Unloading, loading, and restraint checks take longer than 42 seconds on average and you never gain ground if you do manage to turn a train faster than 42 seconds in the station. 1600-1700 would be good.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

You should expect capacity to be around 1000-1200/pph max if other intamins are any indication. Will consistently be one of the longest waits in the park, like Maverick is at cedar point.

Not if they use the same team from Hulk. If they can dispatch trains every 60-70 seconds, your looking at ~1,400 an hour.

Maverick has three car trains and Velocicoaster has six car trains. That's twice as many people on the ride with each train. Only reasons it could have consistently the longest wait is Intamin unreliability, or sheer popularity.

I'm not so sure about 42 second dispatches, but this will be one of the easier trains to load. The seats are wide open, and the lap bar conforms to many body shapes so there won't be anything like we see over at Hagride. I think it's feasible to dispatch every 60 seconds, but don't ask me to do that PPH math.
