Wouldn't that cost more than it's worth, for something that short?

Yeah, I could see Mack offer *a* JP coaster but not THIS JP coaster.
I don't think Mack would be doing anything with Zelda or Pokemon but I could see them working with Universal on the third dry park. Still have Dreamworks and Monsters rides.
Don't you mean... "Camp Cretaceous"
Lol yes. Honestly though would they remove what is there entirely or just rework CJ into something different regardless of PF staying or going?
I think Camp Jurassic would be fine. Isn’t there space for additional queue between the current queue and the main JP path?
I cant see them replacing PF for a more typical coaster now they've worked out they can charge adults to go on it at after hours events.
I would love them to though, a suspended people mover style attraction with tree branches rustling and Dino AAs snapping at your feet as you go over would be superb.

I found a Jurrassic World napkin in the park yesterday......It's all lining up
Oh my, if the employee bridge goes bye bye I hope they replace it. Traffic is gonna be a nightmare from Kong all the way to Hogsmeade Station, especially when projections are going on.
A few folks have told me 2021 as well. No clue how valid that is, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

I mean, it has been rumored for Orlando prior, so it would venture to make sense.
If it's a 2021 addition, this coaster will have more theming then we originally thought. And the Jurassic World overlay of JPRA should be coming as well.

Perhaps Universal is just ceding 2020 to Disney, and planning to live off the overflow from all the WDW stuff. Kind of similar to how WDW was able to feed off the extra tourists Universal brought to Orlando with Hogsmeade and Diagon. Plus, they're probably still counting on tourist visits for the Potter coaster to last into 2021.......But I still think a basically unthemed coaster should be ready for 2020. Seems incomprehensible it will take until 2021 to build it if they're starting construction soon.

First, I don't know if this thing opens in 2020 or 2021. Second, what's with this "ceding" stuff? WDW isn't UOR and vice versa, I think Universal knows they need a draw in 2020 to get people over to the resort. In 2014 Disney threw everything Frozen into DHS when Diagon opened.
There is a chance, but probably likely as 2020, it's not hard to make a coaster (even with theming) go up in a year...He also said that Bourne is 2020 because they are "blowing out walls"

It also shouldn't have been hard to clone F&F from Hollywood yet that still managed to take them 3 years.
I also don't think there is much precedent for building a large coaster over guest areas in a year round theme park, so it doesn't really make sense for us to be deciding when it should be done.
