Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Gillman]

I figure the interior renovation is a no-brainer. I am just curious if anything would be done to the exterior.

 

[Alicia]

It starts.

 

[JoeCamel]

It starts.

Looks like they are saving the palms.

 

[Magic-Man]

Looks like they are saving the palms.

Doubt it. They just haven't gotten to them yet.

 

[JoeCamel]

Doubt it. They just haven't gotten to them yet.

Looks like they dug the balls and will come in tonight with a trailer and bobcat or crane to pull them out. Probably be gone tomorrow

If Jurassic Park/World gets a dark ride I don’t know where they would put it after the new coaster comes but I would want the gyrosphere ride.

Yea, it looks like the orange ribbons are to show which trees will be relocated (cheaper than buying all new trees).

There won’t be another ride added to JP/W after this coaster

 

[Scott W.]

I don’t think JP would ever really work as a dark ride with the little room they have.

I know Kong used the JP expansion pad but that would have been a waste.

Got my own write-up out now with some extra added rumors and my layout too!

Could you comment on direction of travel, pretty please? 0

A new, fast, and aggresive coaster in Orlando will be quite refreshing

You'll have three for 2021 (four if you want to include Potter, plus who knows with Sea World). Although this easily sounds like the most aggressive.

Looks like scene 1 starts around that orange square. With first launch heading to the left along that straight section.

Huh, I’ve been reading these all wrong. I thought the orange building was the station with a launch straight out the gate.

@RollermanDan ’s new video has a good breakdown of how the train will move through the track:

Do you really believe that if Jurassic continues to dominate the box office and grow as a brand that they won't find a way to expand Jurassic presence in Orlando? It's arguably Universals largest IP with worldwide appeal across all age groups, and a plethora of content perfect for these types of parks.

It just seems logical that there must be some contingency plan there.

As a few (like Skip), after the current changes are done for the land..

Unless they remove Kong (too new) or Potter (won't happen) there is literally no where else in IoA it can fit. The only solution is adding it to another park.

Here's my hunch. Although, looking at again, I think it'll load/unload in the same station.

That’s why there building the coaster. And it’s a no brainer that River Adventure will get a retheme to JW in the future. That’s basically two new attractions. What else do you want?

 

[belloq87]

What else do you want?

More dinosaurs.

 

[UNIrd]

Eh, the gyrosphere would work better at another park/resort at this point. If we were to get anything else after this, I would still want the Visitor Center ride starring Mr. DNA. Our very own JP-themed Carousel of Progress.

So there's more than enough evidence to suggest this is happening. When do we think an official confirmation from Universal will come? They should do a huge press conference where they confirm this, the new park, the Bourne show with opening date, and name and opening date of the Harry Potter rollercoaster all in one go.
