Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

They need to install more of these with different Dinos.

This has been my plea for literally years. Whether pulled off via costumes/puppetry or simple AAs, 3 or 4 more of this kind of exhibit (not even necessarily full-on meet-and-greets) would really liven up the land.

Unfortunately, I suspect much of the space where such dinosaur paddocks could be easily installed will instead by consumed by whatever coaster is apparently coming.

It was a VIP group that came in from the other side. Queue is still the same.

Thanks. :thumbsup:

Can someone do a quick edit and try to put LR in the Triceratops plot? I don’t have the tools to do it right now.

Oddly enough it wraps around Discover Center quite naturally

Wow. That's really interesting :stun:

I'd be ok with coaster track going in front of the Discovery Center (as seen from PoE) if it's well placed and symmetric (such as a low pass close to the water).

Lightning Rod heavily utilizes the terrain though, so there's no way that same layout could be built there without being 200+ feet tall.

That's not Lightning Rod. That's Lightning Run, a coaster at Kentucky Kingdom.

I can't read. Carry on.

I'm far more interested in the idea of using reclaimed land on a project like this. It's so simple and I don't think anybody has mentioned it yet.

Wash out your mouth!

Why do I feel like this is nothing substantial other than an more fully fleshed our raptor encounter? Two coasters back to back sounds too unreal. lol

Not if one of them is a family "show" coaster and one is an outright thrill coaster.

I could live with a scenario like the one you describe.

If, however, the Discovery Center is obstructed by an indiscriminate tangle of steel... I'll be disappointed.

They can still be creative, hopefully.

i.e. maybe making an area look like the outside of the T-Rex paddock. Every once in a while - you can hear a goat bleat, some heavy footsteps, and a roar.

Doesn't need to have AA's to feel alive.

They used to have brontosaurus/ultrasaurus roars behind a perimeter fence where Kong now is...it really did help make JP SUPER immersive!

That Blue is fantastic. In person, it's massive and looks very real. Apparently it's only there for a limited time? That's a shame that we'll have go back to the cartoon raptors after this...

What??? No!

 

[Imperius]

What??? No!

That doesn’t make any sense. Why waste the time and money?

 

[Alicia]

Maybe Blue is for a limited time, but the old raptor color pattern will get the upgraded suit? One would hope.

Aiello has called it version 2.0. It’d be weird to move backwards.

As far as I heard for Hollywood, I was told directly that when they we're making the Blue raptor, they went with only bringing one suit, that being the Blue character. I would assume it's the same for Orlando, and that if anything, I wonder if they retire the other raptors at both Hollywood and Orlando, considering how Blue can be turned into a walk-around character more easily and to be more believable.

 

[Imperius]

I wouldn’t care if Blue was here for a limited time as long as they upgraded the other raptor too. Can’t really go backwards once people see this.
