Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[ReelJustice]

I guess thats cool since they can destroy it as much as they want :thumbs:

Actually, there is a group trying to purchase and refurbish it right now. I think the film company that used it last year cleaned it up a bit. I remember passing it at night and seeing things lit up again.

I knew they were filming in New Orleans (because of favorable tax credits) but I didn't know they'd be using Jazzland. That's cool. The park was used in a horror film last year, I think.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes filmed there last year.

For what its worth, the filming at Six Flags stuff has been confirmed by requests for filming permits. The guy who first broke the news via pics on Instagram deleted the pics and made his account private. So yeah, the whole park within a park thing makes all the more sense.

"Should be able to spill some Jurassic Park Expansion News and Rumors in the coming days."

Why does he tease us? :fist:

 

[mahnamahna]

Finally! Hopefully he clarifies opening dates, what the expansion will contain, or even just a little bit!

Awesome! It really has been too quiet, haha

 

[canobie#1]

Anything on those rumors, HTF?

Not to sound like an ass, but I'm sure if he could tell us something, he would. From the sound of it, his sources don't want him spilling the beans on JP yet.

 

[anihilnation]

Since it seems construction will begin soon, when might we expect an official statement from Universal?
Also, are we still looking at JP for next year and Kong for 2016?

Most likely not until after HHN.

I bet Universal is planning on talking about it alongside Jurassic World news, hence the extra security.

Also it will be cheaper to pay the actors before they do the movie
For any film work on the ride.

Sign this release for use in ANY medium
Put on A Jurassic Park Ranger Uniform and say"Your not supposed to go that way"

It could be lumped into the promotion of the film part of the contract

 

[frenzy88]

I'll put this out there as a discussion point. Let's say for a future ride that shall remain nameless kingkong a certain photo op was in the way.

Now this is a popular photo op, and not one we'd want to get rid of. So if I'm Universal (I'm not) I'd want to move it.
So your probably asking yourself where do you put this guy? So was I!

Thought process one.
There is a spot that isn't currently in use and because of TM access it is already tucked away so to speak from the main strip.
I'm speaking of course of the area between Discovery Center and the Trike Encounter plot.

Thought process two
The other photo op with a dinosaur isnt nearly as popular but does have a prime location towards the other end of JP. You could put the T rex there and move or get rid of old Spiny.

So what do you guys think? Where does the Trex end up?

 

[Drew]

I'm gonna guess he replaces the Spinosaurus. Especially given the rumored JP expansion.

Plus.. all evidence of JP3 should be destroyed.

 

[Teebin]

^ Funny, just like Indiana Jones, I loved 3 and disliked 2. Regarding JP, I hate 2 mostly because of JG's acting style... so friggin method he might as well have it tatoo'd on his forehead.

 

[Galaxy Defender]

For those that feel like climbing some of the highest spots in the nets at Camp Jurassic provide a view of the future Kong area.

 

[demoncarnotaur]

So, the first Jurassic World concept art has leaked out. I wonder if we will see any of this aesthetic reflected in the park:
