Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[belloq87]

I just want more dinosaur animatronics, Universal. This isn't that hard.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

just watched a Lightning Rod POV, and while it looks like a pretty great coaster (but honestly not too much more intense than i expect the HP coaster to be) I have no idea how they would incorporate walkway overpasses, and the general vibe screams "not something universal would make"

You don't know RMC till you ride an RMC.

 

[Teebin]

More than one person has mentioned a launched RMC to me in the past week. That is why I'm throwing it out there.

Are they talking about building such a thing in front of the Discovery Center like that horrid mess in Japan?

I have no idea. But I doubt it.

Gonna say it again, looks fantastic

This would have to be like the new HP coaster for me to like it. JP needs more immersive experiences, not less.

Anyone else think UC would be missing an insane opportunity for an awesome, extreme dark ride filled with Dinosaurs, and awesome jungle, volcano themes? Idk I feel they are. What about maybe using the Dynamic Attractions new all terrain trackless system? That would be pretty dope

How extreme can a trackless ride be?

How extreme can a trackless ride be?

Off Road – Dynamic Attractions

Pretty...extreme.

Just because Uni uses Kong and FF slow tram type trackless tech, doesnt mean there isnt more extreme trackless tech out there. Hell, Mystic manor and Ratatouille are faster than Kong and FF

The ride system still seems years and years off from application. I need to see it operating independently, without a driver, before I think it'll end up anywhere.

Can you put a dome over that so it has jungle outside and dinos inside? Mega bucks but think of the ride :bow:

For those that have been on the lightning Rod in Dollywood, it looks like a wooden coaster that goes extremely fast. Wouldn't that make for an extremely rough ride since wooden coasters are known to be rough already? Is there something I'm missing here? Is it really not a wooden coaster?

The RMC coasters use steel I beams as tracks on a wooden structure.

just rode outlaw (an RMC) at silver dollar city and I think it is the best coaster I have ever been on

 

[Tyc00n96]

The RMC coasters use steel I beams as tracks on a wooden structure.

So im wondering if they would go for something compact like RMC's Goliath or would they go for something sprawled over the land similar to how Flying Dinosaur is quite literally everywhere

So I tweeted a while ago about a Jurassic Park VR/escape game coming to Citywalk in junction with the new movie. That's not happening BUT I've been told that they are being installed in a few big cities and will feature big dino AAs. The company contracted with the build (sets, AAs) has been "contacted by UC" about this and future developments. The game is officially licensed with Universal. Take that as you wish, maybe with a grain of salt but found it pretty cool regardless.

My only problem with an high intensity coaster here is that it will be just that. When you are going that fast, theming, etc goes out the window. Seems like a waste to me with such an iconic IP. Thats why the new potter coaster wont be too “thrilling” because they need you to feel engulfed into the world and take in the amazing theming.

That's..not entirely true, it may be hard, but I would say it's not impossible.
