Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Viator]

Scanned through, but didn’t see this addressed, how is the JW branding being justified in JP? And what’s the master plan for the land? All JW?

@Alicia may point otherwise, but I recall she said that they had budget for either River Adventure revamping, or Velocicoaster. And they chose Velocicoaster out of the two.

Does that mean we won't see a conversion eventually? I think it'll eventually come, as there is some space before EU as it's seemingly becoming. But for now, it seems to be a mix.

There’s a reason the trains say InGen and not Jurassic world. And why the logos are just circles with no words. It’s a Jurassic World ride, but as seen from Jurassic Park land, it fits still visually. All the JW stuff is in the queue and on the ride. Not visible from main pathway.

I choose to think of it as a Jurassic World Exhibition in Jurassic Park Isla Aventura.

My God, what a beautiful machine

I think they've been running more than train during testing, saw one without the nose piece.

You can see that one 90 seconds in to the Amusement Insider video

I like the idea. Just surprised they’re marketing it as Jurassic World coaster and are branding it as such too. Seems like phase one of a larger plan. Certainly happy they built the coaster first, though!

The untold backstory (and complicated canon) of Universal Orlando's Jurassic Park

If you were to step through the iconic Jurassic Park gates that mark the entrance to the section of Universal Orlando Resort based on the classic film, you might assume you’re supposed to be stepping onto the fictional island of Isla Nublar. The island, located near Costa Rica, was where John...

The one with the hood is empty. The one without hood has water dummies.

My gut is telling me the Isla Adventura lore is being tossed aside.

That stall is going to steal my wig, do my taxes, and reset my existence

Hopefully not, otherwise they'll have to remove the queue video from River Adventure, which would be a crime, as it features Richard Attenborough giving a performance as John Hammond.

Sure the train is pretty but riding it without the front on would be an experience.

 

[Ex-dockworker]

Maybe they could be blue and when it launches blink red for danger? A cue from Hulk?

Maybe it goes red when the ride is down?:grin:

I don't think they're even going to do anything until something happens to JPRA

Oh man they might want to consider a special line for the backseat along with the front.

Backseat is always the way to go on these.

True, but I do think the front is gonna have some great ejector when it first hits the top hat crest.

 

[joelbryant11]

I’m really interested in what the consensus will be as far as the front row vs. back row thing.

If there are show scenes, they will be aimed at the middle of the train.

Seems like every seat will be great.
