lol, as if we weren't all walking dollar signs before Iron Gwazi was even a twinkle in someone's eye. It's going to open when it opens. Basing your sole reason for going or not going to a park on the fact that one ride isn't open has got to be pretty high up on the list of the First-World...

Since Mosey is just a big TV, I'm sure she can find work nearly anywhere- not just IOA. ;)

No clue. If so, that's fantastic.

To be fair, an argument can be made that they desecrated a movie prop to make a different prop for HHN, but I agree that it's cool that they still have it. Makes me wonder if they also have the JP1 "sick trike" from The Boneyard somewhere.

I lost 30 pounds so I could ride this thing, so I'm hoping it opens sooner rather than later. But at this point I'm firmly in camp "It opens when it opens." My hype for it died down by September of 2020, so whenever they open it, it'll be a pleasant surprise.

I am here now, and there is not a soul in the vicinity of IB. Also, sidenote: ops are DREADFUL today. If they opened this thing with the park in this state it'd be an utter disaster.

I mean, it's probably to be expected due to corporate synergy. Put your stars in the ride, etc. I personally don't think it makes any sense at all. In Jurassic World, Owen isn't in a guest-facing position- merely a contractor hired to work specifically with the raptors. He's not like Muldoon...

If one roller coaster is keeping you from "making your trip worth it", it sounds like you don't like Busch Gardens very much.

Anybody there? How's it running today?

No.

You're entirely misunderstanding the whole issue people are having with gatekeeping. Nobody's saying the people that have ridden 500 coasters are wrong. What's wrong is the incessant need for people to instantly question what rides someone has been on. Literally the first response on this board...

To some people it is though. It's been seeming like unless you've ridden Steel Vengeance you're not allowed to form an opinion on anything, or they'll let you form an opinion but then trash you as "GP" on Reddit. These people need to realize that not everyone is fortunate enough to have...

I think there's a middle ground between both rides that can be reached that will wow fans and NBCUniversal's wallets alike. Another thing I'll add is that JPRA=/=JP:The Ride. They were quite different experiences, so I would hope Universal would continue that trend should they revamp JPRA. As...

The lighting in the T-Rex Kingdom is some of the worst lighting Universal has ever executed in their entire theme park history. There's zero feel or atmosphere, and their choice to make things illuminate as you pass them makes it feel like a cheap stage show. That's actually my biggest gripe...

To expand on this, the entire ride was originally designed to have an expansive feel-as if there's more Jurassic Park behind the tree line. One of the benefits of having Spielberg involved in the design process was his ability to help them weave the elements into a coherent story, and make the...

How anyone can watch a prime-era POV of the ride in Hollywood (or ride it for that matter) even with sightline issues and say the Jurassic World variant is a better ride is beyond me.

Is it better than a brand new, fully-functioning Ultrasaur? Not in a million years. I can see dinosaurs on a screen at home. I can't see a 20 foot animatronic at home.

B&M filed a patent for a redesigned stand-up, and some people are assuming that is for the surf coaster design. There's no official correlation though. I've heard plenty of rumors that it'd be B&M's take on a Blitz coaster, and I have a hard time believing that they'd use a stand-up train for that.

To throw it out there, "River Adventure" exists in the Jurassic World canon thanks to Camp Cretaceous- something that's supposedly also referenced in the queue. While the line at the end of the coaster is probably nothing more than a cute easter egg to the real ride, it could also be a reference...

There's also lockers in the Discovery Center, so I imagine some form of communication will take place to direct people over there if the lockers fill up. But like you said, I'm betting they were able to do the maths to figure out how many they needed in there.
