Jurassic World: The Ride Construction Thread

[SailwiththeTide]

Stopped by to see if there was anything new going on. Just testing with water dummies earlier in the day. Source mentioned TM previews this week but not 100% sure on it.

This weekend is a very very hard... maybe.

How come?

How come?

I would recommend not going off of anyone’s predictions unless it’s official. All have been wrong

^^this. The reason I say maybe is because maybe. It's never ever a guarantee. But this weekend... maybe. It's not a solid no. (for now)

Anybody inside USH today? Very interested on how things look. Feeling close

I have heard that a soft open is possibly maybe later today or tonight, if not tomorrow or later in the week or next month. Plus in speaking with TMs, they may or may not allow cameras at the TM preview that they may or may not have today, tonight, tomorrow, next week, next month, or never. It's what I heard.

My gold pass is blocked out this week alone. I think that’s also telling

Did you hear It from Universal?

Who can say!

Just saying, you might catch me there Thursday... wink wink...?

It may not matter if it comes from Universal "Officially".

Personally, I'm still waiting on word from the TM front for Softs.

I feel like Universal intended for either an opening or soft opening this week and blocked out the passes. I think they are slightly behind schedule and its preventing them from announcing an opening day. I don't think the delays are anything major. You can easily get the since that Universal wants this open as much as we do. I think once they get the "Green Light" we are going to see an opening date, previews and softs all coming at us fast!

Being that it's Universal that decides when the ride opens, I'd say it matters quite a bit.

I think something to keep in mind is this, that softs can and will happen at any time. Perhaps not even one bit.

And it isn't something that Universal will publicly state of initially.

 

[Freak]

You guys think the delays be to the point where they’ll just pull a Hagrid’s? Announce a date with no softs?

Part of me..wouldn't be shocked? More-so, as this is a overhaul of an existing attraction (even if they had to retrack again due to the Mosasaurus scene).

I do think softs are happening, and perhaps @Chris Galindo's nose is onto something good. But I'm more or less waiting until TM's get word of the situation more than Universal making a press release.

 

[Clive]

My guess is they'll do softs, keep the ride running for a week or more on & off, announce a media date with the press once the thing has been running reliably with softs. Grand open immediately after.

They are giving out JW shirts to team members today, probably means nothing
