Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Honestly, I wonder if this is why:

Jurassic will live on, but the perception of the branding of the latest trilogy may not be looked on in the best way.

People don't like Fallen Kingdom just because Luke died...Get over it people

This joke may be too meta.

Nothing is too meta

Wouldn’t the better comaparison be JP3 where the T-Rex died?

 

[demoncarnotaur]

If you want to go there, how about we remind ourselves that they don't have to stick for Fallen Kingdom for results?

Agreed, but WOM may not favor the trilogy when it's all said and done.

Jurassic Park predates it all, and may be what most people prefer to associate with and are drawn to.

Or JW3 may kick ass, and Jw2 will be an outlier. It's a whole lot of of maybe's, what if's, and confusion. Which is why I'm not surprised Universal Pictures is teetering back and forth.

I don't think Universal Pictures has any say in the matter, but I understand your point.

The rumor of why Universal Creative is unsure of whether or not to re-theme the land in Islands of Adventure probably has more to do with whether or not a new Jurassic World land will be built at the new theme park being developed down the street. If it is, then keep JP as JP. If not, re-theme it to JW. I think it's that simple.

If Universal cared about the relevancy or success of films they turn into attractions, they wouldn't still be building Waterworld shows in new parks... or bringing a Jason Bourne show to USF. It's all about using as many of their IPs as possible for them, (regardless if it fits or makes sense in any way lol).

My reasoning is that IOA JP, JP the movie, and JW are all separate locations...Much as Hogsmede & Diagon at Site A are in a different time period than FB Site B (if they do that).....It works for me

Agreed. I really wouldn’t mind both JW and JP in the parks. More dinosaurs, more happy me.

I just feel like JW should go into IOA because the current land is being wasted. Yes it’s not much space but they can make it work. Turn the visitor center into a Gyrosphere dark ride and update the areas with nothing much going on by adding Dino’s throughout. It makes the land even more immersive.

The visitor center land isn't large enough to fit the gyrosphere dark ride. The only space it could fit in is the Kong area.

From Bio,

 

[DuelingDragonskid]

I think that they could use the visitor center as the queue.......

 

[demoncarnotaur]

So I take it we can expect something similar to the Flying Dinosaur going all over the land, only a different type of coaster, and built to IOA's unique constraints?

Yes, but lower to the ground.
Also, that concept art looks badass :drool:

Over the lagoon instead of walking paths though. They don’t want another metal detector ride.

I can't imagine they would want to spoil the front facing view onto view the visitor centre with track.

 

[tielo]

Wow, that would uglyfy the area a lot.

The but RMC launched would be ideal...No lift hill please

First, I think all roller coasters are a thing of beauty. I love seeing track. Nothing makes me happier. I marvel at them.
Second, Roller Coasters are extremely popular. Always. It will be a draw for the general public.
Third, if this is indeed a bare roller coaster it still completely fits with the Jurassic Park theme. An animal park that builds a coaster to boost attendance is well within the story line.
Forth, Not everything needs painted concrete and robots to make it good.

A wooden coaster with loose raptor robots would be fun
