Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

maybe we will get that thing like animal kingdom had. If only we could be so lucky!

"lucky" ha ha ha! Did you intend that pun?

 

[sjago13]

No... was that thing called lucky?

And I meant this thing.

Oh god no. I meant this tech wonder:

Never mind on this being 611. I have already hinted about something coming and it didn't occur to me that it was going on trike land. I thought they might do it on the waterfront patio in front of the Discovery Center.

As was told last year regarding US, Comcast certainly wants more meet and greets! This one should be wildly popular.

Why would they need the entire Trike plot for a JW inspired Raptor encounter? Unless they really follow the Trike Encounter format, and it's isn't the same as the traveling Singapore Raptor thing..

I won't lie, I wanted a new ride, but this could be promising.

I will have that answer for you tomorrow. But I was told that this will be better than Singapore :thumbs:

Cool, I'm interested to hear more!

Is this all that's coming, or are there still rides planned? And how about that Camp Jurassic makeover with potential petting zoo style AA's?

 

[AK-Jake]

Not gonna lie, I'm secretly holding out for a ride too...but anything is better than nothing!

 

[martymcflyy85]

The Singapore thing could be done without the Trike plot. Its basically a traveling cart. So its good news to hear that this could be something more detailed than Singapore version.

Yes. Better.

Clever girls.

 

[demoncarnotaur]

Yes. Better.

Clever girls.

Soooo..

The entire Raptor Squad then. Perhaps the Trike Encounter format will live on with something bigger and better, raptor style.

I can't wait for the photo-ops with Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo.

 

[Frogki]

A raptor encounter would be so cool! Seriously, that's the sort of thing I want to see more of. The baby triceratops they bring around all the time is cool too. Really hoping Universal is learning the value of street entertainment and theming. The entertainers in the street add a dimension to all the areas in the park...

 

[Jwhee]

What if they update and keep the Trike trail, but throw raptors into it instead of Triceratops?

Jwhee: You need to get your site up again with Universal forums. There is a void now with the demise of the OU forums.

I wonder if the raptor animatronics from the movie could be repurposed for this M&G?

Unfortunately, no. Movie puppets are not built for the rigors of theme park replay.

Teebs is correct. This will be more organic and less mechanic. It seems the necessary infrastructure to maintain the beasties is being created for their imminent arrival. I am VERY excited at the potential of this experience.

I can totally imagine the stable area at the end of the trail being rethemed for Jurassic World raptors. Horse style stables with the top half of the raptors poking over the doors (to hide animatronics). I want to see all 4 raptors from the raptor squad at once, moving, blinking, snorting. Maybe even let us pet one... carefully that is.

Would be cool to see to see stables themed like this from the JW trailer, but with half doors instead, so their heads/necks could poke out, like in Mr. Ed.

Here's a couple pictures I took of the hole at Trike Encounter on Wednesday. It is located directly behind the big triceratops rock slap, between the entrance and exit for the trail.

I don't care what they put here. It would just be nice to see this plot of land get used for something (other than corporate events that is).

We're not at Epcot silly

 

[Teebin]

Still waiting for my scratched out plans on a napkin. Jeeez, everyone is so friggin busy doing their jobs. That aggravates me.

So, sorry for the delay on my further explanation of this project. I am not sure that it has a number, but I can tell you that it does have a name which is packed somewhere in my trunk, so I am unable to "DIG" it up right now. :wave:

 

[TJwny]

It seems like a rather small "hole" from the pictures so are we to assume it is more for infrastructure for whatever is coming to this site?
