Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[TheCodeMan95]

When IoA first opened the containment areas off to the sides of the main path had occasional noises and movements like something was lurking and it was really effective for creating the whole JP mood as you walked through. Over time the noise of the park and just the increased crowds have diminished the effectiveness of the "dinosaurs of the imagination" all around you.

I always said I would have loved stuff like that. Occasional roars/screams, bushes moving, etc.

From Orlando Park Pass, they are moving.

More raptor screams please

 

[TheCodeMan95]

I haven't kept up for awhile, do we think that Raptor Encounter will be permanently moved? Or just temporary construction?

I think @Alicia or @RollermanDan can correct me, but I thought people were more saying, that it'd replace a portion of the original extended queue for River Adventure (at-least, during the time of the coaster project being in the work physically).

Yes this. Sounds temporary from what I’m hearing.

Seems like it would make sense just to permanently move it over there

That would definitely make the most sense. Can't imagine how hard it would be to get raptors back and forth without tranquilizing them.

I can see leaving the raptor over in the JPRA extended queue...but I can also see leaving it by the ride. It is, if the rumors are correct, a raptor themed ride after all.

That's not shocking, especially if the new coaster will have an expanded version of the Raptor Encounter included in the plans for added capacity.

Plus, it'd open the door if they need to use that extended queue for if they pull the trigger on a River Adventure revamp.

A bigger raptor encounter and a coaster on a relatively small plot of land just seems unlikely.

How about we just scrap this whole coaster thing guys? Everyone cool with that?

Nah I'm good with the coaster.

Who's to say you can't have both?

 

[JungleSkip]

Who's to say you can't have both?

I'm saying it really doesn't seem like there's all that much room for both.

 

[Alicia]

It’s bigger than it looks. Especially since this project will expand the plot in a few places.

Man I just can't picture walking to the end of Port of Entry, looking over the lagoon.. and having a coaster thwart my view of the Discovery Center.

Coasters are pretty transparent so hopefully it won’t ruin the view too much.

I'm with you, but we're in the extreme minority here, buddy!

Y’all have no imaginations.
