Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Just re watching all the stuff from Hollywood again and Im just excited about this expansion in general. If they weren't going to give Jurassic Park the update it needed then let it be Jurassic World and give it a lot of love which it seems like they're doing. As someone said, making this a theme park zoo like it should be I think will be really awesome and fun for a lot of people. They're quite impressive over in Hollywood, although I hope the Raptor Encounter stays behind the bars like it does in Orlando. But that gigantic one (name is escaping me) is IMPRESSIVE. Of course we have more space here too to expand on these things even just a little bit plus a 70 mph coaster so this seems like it could be a big win for Universal on both coasts

Having distant dinosaur sounds and electric fences was enough to make JP feel alive when IOA first opened

We’ve definitely broken ground here on it! 2 years will surly blow by quick! Looking from the base of the Suess land beach across the lake, there are several concrete squares being poured!

It's kinda funny to think that this will finally open in 2021, but everyone will be looking at the new park instead.

Didn’t bring my camera since I came to ride Hagrid, but here’s some low quality phone pics

Literally can't wait for the aerials of the new park under construction...Literally anything they do at USF and IOA will be overshadowed haha

That is the project I’m most excited about out of all them in Orlando. :clap:

We still don’t know if anything will be vertical by 2021. P4rk could open anywhere between 2023-2028.

Universal already installed a palm tree there...One land down

JP Coaster or FW?

After taking pictures, go to tinyjpg.com and that will get them under the 2MB max upload size (usually, as long as you're talking about a phone pic)

Keeping the land/ ride themed to Jurassic Park is fine in my opinion. They just need to seriously refurb up the ride. And a tad in the land too.
Also maybe add in the raptor pen somewhere for guests to look at? That'd be cool.
Since it's still up in the air if a 3rd park (Fantastic Worlds) is going to happen.

Maybe even add wooden gates to the entrances? Always wanted that.
It's the little things.

That is not up in the air.

You don't know, they could just build two huge parking lots and forgo the whole theme park thing all together. They make huge money on parking!

 

[shiekra38]

Yeah but what if Universal sees Galaxys Edge's numbers

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Yeah but what if Universal sees Galaxys Edge's numbers

Even more incentive to build LOL

 

[RFRees]

Being lower than expected?

I think that won't make a difference. If Disney's growth is not as fast as Disney would have hoped, but UOR is growing at it's current rate, it still would necessitate another park.

Different companies. While yes they are doing the same thing, they cater to somewhat different people, market differently, and don't have the same IPs. Id say the major bluff for GE was the marketing and scaring people away. Universal won't do that here.
