Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Althought a flat and a D-ticket family coaster would both be solid additions for late 2014 (September-December), if the 12/12 announcement is for Universal fast-tracking the JP expansion to July 2014 alongside Diagon... no, it won't work. We'd get a carnival, more or less. And I want JP to be lightyears above Dinorama at Animal Kingdom

Terrible idea. Hate it.

Id rather have a meet and greet.

Bite your tongue!

 

[DufflesMcGee]

Bite your tongue!

No, he is right... if comcast is going to be disney... then they might as well be disney...

No Dinorama carnival

 

[USO92]

That statement really was sarcastic

 

[DufflesMcGee]

I want a Bill Paxton meet and greet

 

[EPCOTcenter]

The rumor was never fast tracking to open with Potter. The rumor was to open another major addition in 2014

So, contrary to what Disneyhead is hearing, I quite like what I'm hearing.

So.... what are you hearing?

 

[USO92]

If he were going to say what it was he heard then he wouldve just said it.

Be patient people...

 

[UNIrd]

I honestly can't be upset about any additions, no matter how small they might be. But here's to hoping its more in line with what we've been expecting.

 

[JungleSkip]

Big name coaster company. That's all I'll say.

The only one name that still keeps coming up on my end is the Gravity Group. A small family oriented terrain hugging coaster creation with rock work, water features, and 2 AA's with custom themed timber liner trains. Also rumored to be a custom flat along with new food and beverage options along with new merch and photo connect options built into Camp Jurassic. Could be that he Trex photo connect is moving into Camp Jurassic.

Time will tell...

I would be plenty happy with this.

That fits in with what I have heard. No Amber Mine! Just pretty much a Junior woodie with some terrain themeing and some AAs. No indoor "show scenes". That means instead of an Amber Mine, the wooden coaster will be themed as.....a wooden coaster. I also believe that at least one of the AAs will be a late model, low mileage Triceratops. The custom flat, I was told, would be a Dino-themed carousel that would act as sort of a center piece for the expansion. The Woodie sort of wraps around the backside of the expansion area as a visual backdrop. They are going full on with the "Theme Park in a Theme Park" concept.

That is the rumor that I was told recently. And also fits in with and can be completed in the "Late 2014" timeframe.

But does that matter if there is terrain theming and AAs? To me it doesn't, but maybe I'm weird.

Oh I didn't realize we'd lose the amber mine part. Hm. I'd still wish there was a dark portion but if they do a fantastic job of this, it won't be missed. I actually think a small woodie coming to JP is pretty cool considering that was one of the original concepts for the land.

Now the carousel I can do without. There's one two lands over with no wait ever.

With rockwork and waterfalls, I'm fine with losing cave scenes, personally.

As for the flat ride, I'm all for adding capacity, though I'd prefer something other than a ride we already have, like a ripoff of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree or something.
