I totally get this mindset. I think the main issue here is, while we don't know what the entire land will look like exactly, and I'm sure it'll be well themed for a thrill coaster, we are only getting a coaster out of this. Likely 90% of the people on this board and probably a tad lower % of people who go to Universal love coasters but its not like we're getting Hogsmeade, completely updated Epcot, or an entire new look to the ENTIRE land. Seems like we're just getting a coaster. Im sure the coaster will be incredible but lets not act like the additions you mentioned are the same scale of what we're getting here. Its a massive disruption but lets hope the coaster makes it more than worth it. The only thing that hasn't been worth it for me from Universal in my lifetime is fast and furious so again, I'm sure it'll be dope. Just absolutely sucks for the time being especially if you're a Jurassic Park fan like my boyfriend is. Ah well, cause for a future trip!When I was doing my college search a very long time ago one of the guide books i picked up had advice for going on admissions tours. In addition to living amenities, classroom conditions, and more they note to look for construction. Construction is a sign of a healthy school that is reinvesting. That’s instilled a mentality in me that construction is not bad and that even huge disruptive projects are for the good.
For me JP is no different than Hogsmeade, Epcot, new Fantasyland, or DHS construction. The only disruptive and bad show construction was the time Horizons was being demolished, where it stood ragged and half torn down in guest view.
One thing they could have done differently is have the majority of the north side of the wall (not the lagoon) done prior to starting demo on the lagoon side.I get that things don’t look great right now, but that’s what happens when you largely reshape a land. I don’t know what people expect them to do
When is the last time you were at the parks?For me JP is no different than Hogsmeade, Epcot, new Fantasyland, or DHS construction.
This appears to be accurate relatively

I love the giant amber chunk as the front desk. With a little tweaking, Thunder Falls would make a great Hammond's. And if Hammond's doesn't have Chilean Sea Bass, someone should lose their job.Man I would love for Hammond's to be a thing at IOA too
I'd rather see the top floor of the Discovery Center (or hell the WHOLE DC) become Hammond's, but Thunder Falls would be good tooI love the giant amber chunk as the front desk.

With all of those windows overlooking the water, it really needs to be the Discovery Center if the structure could get more windows on the backside.I love the giant amber chunk as the front desk.

Beat me to it.I'd rather see the top floor of the Discovery Center (or hell the WHOLE DC) become Hammond's, but Thunder Falls would be good too

Upstairs: Kitchen, reception/lobby and bar in the back. Add windows to the back and leave the stairs/opening in the middle to overlook the restaurant below.I was thinking that also but a coaster screaming by every minute doesn’t say fine dining.
I mean the other option has the JPRA boats crashing down every minute hahaI was thinking that also but a coaster screaming by every minute doesn’t say fine dining.

*Shakes nervously*With melted ice cream and green Jell-o for desert.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't have one somewhere in the layout. This was my take on the big "double helix" section from a while backWith INtamin now doing outward banking (see Pantheon) I wonder if this coaster will feature them as well?
