Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Alicia]

Considering they were expected to start earlier, no shock really.

I planted my coaster track seeds months ago and mine aren't growing anywhere near as this blooming garden!

Do you know why the delay?

 

[Alicia]

Do you know why the delay?

Could be they didn't want to open two coasters one year apart in the same park. Could be they ran into unforseen issues with the land. Could be that they want to time it with a larger re-do of the entire land. Could be that they want to time it with the next film's release. Or, it could be, somehow, all of these reasons simultaneously.

Sure looking like black supports in those new pics. Getting even stronger vibes that this is gonna be a mega-Taron when all is said and done.

 

[Tyc00n96]

Black on black is interesting. Will certainly stick out in the trees and especially in front of the DC

I think 2021 just makes the most sense. Especially if it’s entire rebranding, better to open everything together at once rather than Coaster next year then JPRA re do/revamp. Also advertising Jurassic World as an entire new land should lead to a few more vacations rather than just a new coaster

Any chance they shut down JRA prior to HHN? Hoping to get a few last rides in, and if the coaster is 2021 there should be plenty of time to revamp JRA in 2020.....

Something I just noticed that I don’t remember seeing mentioned here before, they ripped the big tree out of the waterfront area.

I don't think there have been any rumors of a closure this year.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I’d assume it’d he closed for a year. It closed for I believe 10 months in Hollywood so 2 more months isn’t too crazy, plus with all the construction going on at the resort with the new park, coaster, re-theme of the land, a year doesn’t sound crazy to me. I’d expect January when it goes down for refurb it just doesn’t open again.

They left it there just long enough to cruelly taunt us.

Shows you how large that area is, it can easily fit the FJ show building.

Man how I would’ve loved a ride like FJ in that spot 0

A Kuka arm Gyrosphere ride would be sweet.

 

[GadgetGuru]

That chunk of land definitely didn’t feel that big as a guest.

Kind of shows how must underused land Jurassic Park has had all this time.

What is the small clearing on the opposite side of the path and behind the Discovery Center for?

Thanks for posting.

They're moving the skills games over there. Previously was a lesser-known seating area.

The assembly of the coaster should be pretty quick and straightforward once footers are in place, it's the finishing work (scenery, show scenes/buildings) that will take time. A coaster can go together in a couple of months.
