Dare I say, this could be better than Hagrid's?
Define "better".
I saw that as well, both arms? seem to be unusual, I wonder if they have movement?That dinosaur looks like it's giving a thumbs up-- he approves of the coaster!
I think the top hat and subsequent helix moment(s) will be the best thing at the resortDare I say, this could be better than Hagrid's?
I hope they have the jeeps at the end like the video, that was a nice touch.
For me personally. More fun, plus it helps it’s based around something I actually care about.
Yes it's like a grand finale! With that airtime hop into that heartline it will be amazing.I think the top hat and subsequent helix moment(s) will be the best thing at the resort
...but SpidermanFair, Hagrid is going for something totally different than this. It's like saying "Joe what do you love more: Haunted Mansion or Spider-man?" These just really aren't comparable coasters in my eyes.
...but Spiderman
Give me DD and OG JP in 1999 (when I first visited IOA) and I will gladly trade Hagrid and JP CoasterProbably the best rides at their respective parks IMO.
Ohh yeah, and this looks amazing! We need something to look forward to right now, and this hits that spot! While I don't think anything will be able to quite beat the magic of Py and Blizz for me, it's still a fantastic compromise.

But, having Harry Potter and a JP Coaster is more than worthy of a successor to both losses
Still though, IOA '99 is just such a great memory for me and the parks were truly unappreciated
Let’s just say that Jurassic World is the name of the resort, and Jurassic Park is the name of the park. Just like Universal Studios Escape, and Universal Studios Florida.*Looks around the room, waiting for someone else to explain...and nope, okay here we go...*
The JP in IOA is a different island - Isla Adventura. It’s a franchised version of the JP on Isla Nublar. All the film franchise’s events occur on that island.
Could they say, “Hey, here’s raptor trainer Owen from our latest park franchise, Jurassic World, and he’s here to teach you about raptors!”? Sure, that works. I’m just in the .01% of fans that takes theming too seriously and would like the land to either be JP or JW - not a combined version that’s confusing to try to justify. But, hey! This coaster’s still going to be fun, right?!
*Sits back down, hoping that recaps everything. Nibbles on a cracker.*
"Six Flags is just a glorified carnival!" Says me ...ever since the current owners took over. Sfog has been turned into an unappealing joke of what it once was. The theming is lackluster, they only open rides at certain times, or when the park gets to a certain capacity and all but a handful of restaurants are open. Universal studios and ioa are light years ahead of them. Universal and Disney are actual theme parks, six flags is not a theme park... it's an amusement park. Having said that, give me Velocicoaster!!!!“Universal is just a glorified Six Flags!”—Many a poster on Magic and DIS back in the day
IOA 99 was more magical than any Disney Park at the time. full stop.“Universal is just a glorified Six Flags!”—Many a poster on Magic and DIS back in the day
Man, what I'd give to go back to IOA '99. Or mid '90s USF.IOA 99 was more magical than any Disney Park at the time. full stop.
Let’s just say that Jurassic World is the name of the resort, and Jurassic Park is the name of the park. Just like Universal Studios Escape, and Universal Studios Florida.
:deadhorse:I think it’s more accurate to say it’s a Jurassic World ride inside Jurassic Park, which brings up the consistency issues.
