You can find it on Themeparx, but it seems to be a round like structure that is nearly as large as one of the other showbuildings in the area.

It’s an indoor-outdoor coaster of some kind, we can’t tell from the layout leak. It’s small enough to fit in JP.

Because the Beijing park needs to establish itself as a must visit destination theme park. Cloning the coasters would give people(like myself) less reason to visit the Beijing park. This is the same reason why USF isn’t getting SNW anymore. It’s all about marketing. IOA is an already established and respected park. Which is why it rarely gets new additions. Comcast would like to have a new coaster built for islands quickly before there 4th gate opens. Yes, it is nice to have new and nice things. But, business strategies and marketing play heavily into this.
^This. You've also said a few other things in the last couple posts that align with exactly what I've heard.
I am going to say, IOA was not a established and respected park when it opened, as Universal screwed themselves over by the whims of confusing their own guests even before that park opened.
Furthermore, Beijing is getting different (even to the smallest detail) versions of already existing attractions from their already existing parks.
I like coasters in my theme parks. Big coasters. Fast coasters. Fling me coasters. I also like good theming.
A Disney level Frontierland with Steel Vengeance as backdrop would make me giddy. Steel coasters are more difficult to blend with the environment but it can be done. I love The Loch Ness Monster at BGW.
Personally, I think hiding all the coasters sucks the kinetic energy out of the theme park experience. And I really dislike the, "Well if you like coasters just go to six flags." attitude. Just because I'm not in the mood for Victoria and Albert's doesn't mean I want to go to White Castle.

How about not bare bones and not highly themed but more moderate. Sections of theming with thrills for coaster lovers. I am against straight bare bones coasters for theme parks in general considering I went to a “theme” park meaning I’m their for theme. With that said a good coaster can be great in its own right but why not some themed elements to it, and no not just a themed que but some in ride elements. A launch motorbike through a tunnel running alongside projection raptors, whisk through the tropical scenery(true coaster aspect) and end with the track having the indominus Rex standing over it and right before we crash into him the the mosasaurus pulls him into the Lagoon. I know this isn’t happening but something along these lines gives both sides something to look forward to. It also gives the park 1 true steel coaster, 1 true highly themed family coaster, and 1 moderately themed thrill coaster. This I’m down for.
A lot of food analogies getting thrown about here today.
About the new JW coaster clone and the rumored JP raptor coaster.
How about both?
How about both?
The more I think about it, the more I hope JW comes to the next park if IOA gets this new JP coaster.
Why? Because the coaster, taking up the land that it will, will essentially mean that JP is never going to get the kind of new attraction I'd like to see using the Jurassic franchise. But open up a whole new JW land elsewhere, complete with a dark ride experience of some sort, and everybody's happy. Coaster fans get your new thrill machine at IOA, dark ride fans hopefully get some new dino AAs over at Site B.
I'm not expecting that to happen, of course.

Should we have the lobster or the crab? Can't we have both? Why not!!
P.S. - Had me some White Castle for lunch today!! Cheers!!
@Disneyhead I blame you, had to make a Publix run for frozen White Castles. :grin:
Here is to hoping we get both!

Hmmmm. Could they clone Beijing’s JW land in its entirety for the new park? I’d be down with that.
Exactly, coasters have a re-ride value that some dark rides do not...Also, Universal is not Disney, and therefore play by their own rules
I have no issue with JP and JW existing...As long as they are in different parks haha
I mean, if they are building a Jurassic World in the new park, why not clone the same design you're already building on the other side of the globe.
I agree, but they should add in a play-area/exploration-area or two, if Beijing doesn’t end up getting any.
I’d feel sicker sooner on FJ than the majority of coasters when riding again and again.
