Um, I said yes I do consider it themed in that exact post you quoted.

Read the post I quoted again and then my answer.

Hi there Winston monkey.

I hope tht Jurassic World 2 flops so they will think twice about making the area Jurassic World. Like the hipster guy in Jurassic World says, the original was so legit.

I completely disagree. I’d welcome these changes considering I really enjoyed the first JW and am anticipating the second. Based on how popular this franchise is and the amount of advertising/promotions they’ve done for this new one, there’s no way in Isla Nublar that it will fail financially.

I’m still in the fence about the idea of a JW overlay. I can see the benefit of not doing it and making the attractions have their differences instead of just being a clone of each other.

JPRA needs some love and I hope that would still happen.

I want JW 2 to do well to encourage more rides in the parks. I'm not sure how I feel about an overlay, though. I loved JPRA and figure that Pteranodon Flyers is good for young sprouts. Still, I can think of ways to plus the JPRA and, I'll admit this, I don't ride it every time that I'm there because I get soaked. Yes, I'm one of those poor fools that are doomed to get soaked. Probably because, despite my avatar, I hate water. Borderline hydrophobic as well. I also get soaked on Splash Mountain by that one geyser that nails me right before the second lift. It's like there is a person in a control booth who can tell which people don't want to get wet. "Ah, that sap sitting in row two is looking at the water with dread. Your fears are well founded, sir, as I will now initiate the Drench Program for your ride."

Still, I will accept it as long as they keep the John Williams score.

I like to turn and wave to the person in the control booth right before the big drop. They usually wave back.

One of the biggest things I hope for is a better queue for JPRA.

That queue is just a sad mess. It’s just some TV monitors and a model of the attraction.

I'm looking forward for the changes. I always thought the huge ride building was out of place but the Jurassic World film shows more modern buildings so it would fit much better. Also, if you hate changes in theme parks you shouldn't get to involved with Universal because every ride is a contender for the wrecking ball, it's not Disney...

I find JPRA's queue to be quite relaxing..All the plants around and such...Much better than Popeye or Dudley

In a perfect world I’d put a dock right in front of the Discover Center and have the boats go fully around the lagoon

I fear that it would be too popular for overall guest satisfaction... that the waits would be untenable with some guests expecting “something attraction-like” to happen.

I do agree however that in-theory it sounds dreamy and wonderful.

They could just put a sign out front:

This is a relaxing boat ride where nothing goes horribly wrong. We promise. Really.

I thought a ride that goes under the water around the lagoon with several small show scenes would be tons of fun....Then I realized how shallow the lagoon was haha

Do you happen to know how deep those lagoons were? I can't imagine they were too deep?

We don't even know if Jurassic World is coming to IOA if it doesn't then yes you would think it would be the Third/Fourth Gate at Universal Orlando and I assume keep JP land at IOA themed to the original trilogy of JP. This could just be a JP coaster and nothing else. That land for project 791 do you think it can hold one or two attractions?

I spotted this while at the park today. Is it the old entrance sign for the dock?

Out of curiosity, was it there before today? Or did they remove it when the Island Tours first closed?
