As it was Aiello who was out paying a Mr Curry a visit, I assume this is all under A&D and Entertainment. A&D only uses names so it would seem...

I'm so excited for Jurassic World, you have no idea... The boy and I freak out about it whenever something new comes up, and one of my co-workers and I have thoroughly exasperated our other co-workers on numerous occasions talking about the movie. And, from most of the people I've talked to it about, even those who aren't really fans like we are, just about everyone is excited to at least see it once. The fact that the movie takes place when the park is an actual reality seems to be the biggest draw. And, of course, the new, badass dino. I can't imagine this movie being anything less than a massive hit worldwide, so Universal should have a lot to play with in the future for this IP. :D But back to the rides...

The first time I saw the trailer and then went looking through the park's "official" site, I saw that Gyrosphere ride and immediately said "I need to ride that". Now, this is my response to any awesome action/ride-type scene in a good movie (goblin town escape or barrel ride in the hobbit? I need to ride that. Spinning cornucopia of death in Catching Fire? I need to ride that. F&F movies? I NEED to ride that. If it looks like it could be an awesome ride, I want it to be, so I can ride it, and I immediately think of Universal :P), but seeing it roaming around under freaking dinosaurs? F-yeah, make that happen. And, again, I thought of IOA and all that undeveloped land around the river ride... A ride like the one in the movie would be a GREAT addition to IOA, though it would take years to build and theme right (just imagine the work that would go into the dinos o.O), even if they had to change it around. And featuring Indominus Rex and the Raptor Squad (sounds like a jurassic rock band XD) would have to happen, because I-Rex is awesome (does she have a fan name, yet?) and the Raptors already have everyone excited. Plus, from the official trailer, it seems like she can influence the other dinosaurs in some way to attack each other and the humans. She's the absolute alpha amongst the dinos and they seem to be playing on this in the movie (like in Dragon 2, where the alpha was able to exert control over the other dragons who almost could not resist it in any way, even going against their bonded handlers), which would translate into an amazing ride... Just chilling, rolling through the dinos like nothing when all of a sudden, meat-eaters everywhere--from the ground, from the water, from the skies... Veggie-saurs start panicking, everything is chaos...poor humans. :P Pretty typical jurassic park experience. ;)

Other than the obvious thrill ride, though, the fake "real" Jurassic Park has an expanded kiddie area, including an egg-spinner ride and water play area (I think? Haven't looked at the site in a bit), which could do a lot to improve on the real park's kiddie area. Another kiddie ride themed in a jurassic way, expanded or updated camp jurassic, a themed, sit-down family restaurant would be great in that area (IOA needs something over there), as well as the show that's coming soon that features the raptors.. If the movie is a success (and I see now way it couldn't be), it's going to mean great things for this area. I get excited thinking about the movie and then looking back at the early concept art and thinking about what they could do to make some of that art a reality, now--or even just use it as inspiration. And with Kong added to the mix... It could have been an odd fit, but with the Skull Island, prequel-type focus, it blends in really well with what's already there, and they could run with both themes quite easily as they expand. Not sure what this would mean for Toon Lagoon, though lol

Looks like the NoC was signed April 28, 2015. The NoC has an expiration date of June 30, 2015.

And then they clone us and make modifications and give us claws and mouthfuls of extremely sharp teeth and other meat-eating dino minions and the world ends from there. :cheers: There's no hope for any of you :P

There must be, I have a great feeling this entire movie was made with the park in mind. I mean it's seriously the most perfect IP you can really get for a theme park since it IS a theme park. Watch there be specific drinks, meals, cool resturants, more rides, shows. It's just begging for uni creative to go all out with it. Since it's predicted to get a spot on the highest grossing films ever list AND sequels are in the works. I will say without question there is a 100% chance of this coming to IOA

I know it will probably never happen, but I want that special Ben & Jerry's ice cream. :doggie:

I think it is so cool that the original visitor center makes an appearance in the movie... all abandoned and overgrown with trees and vines.

There you go. A perfect idea for a redo into a dark ride.
Click to expand...

We go out in one of the gyrosphere's to see the dinosaurs and here reports of the indominus getting free and that it is headed our way. Being out in the middle of nowhere we are guided into the abandoned visitor's center remotely while we await rescue. We roam the abandoned visitor's center as the indominus and other freed dinos try to break in. Finally the raptor squad busts in, fights the invading dinos, and we are hooked up to them to be led to safety.

I doubt Orlando will ever get a gyro ride as there is no space left. Get excited for a gyro picture spot instead.

Yea, you'd probably expect something like that to be a concept for Beijing.

Yeah, I know. A ride like that would be dependent upon getting rid of the visitor's center (or at least making it look old and overgrown) and utilizing the areas in front of it which, if they are going to do a JW overdo, would probably never happen.

Did WWoHP have a number? I just knew it as Strong Arm. And I don't think IOA had a number, just Project X. It looks like Universal likes to keep some tricks up their sleeves and not give things numbers. :look:

And this is why, in my opinion of course, Skull Island is a HUGE mistake.

Not the concept, just the placement. You know some within Universal aren't happy about their biggest franchise being cornered when it comes to expansion. As a fan I know I am not happy, hell, everything Skull Island has a certain unwanted weight to it for me because of that fact.

How much space would a gyrosphere simulator ride really take up? I know everyone's sick of screens by now but the ride design screams simulator, an advanced Sum of All Thrills kinda thing. This might even allow for UC to re-use elements from the never built JP helicoptours project.

The land on the Discovery center and trike plot could fit a multi-story simulator building and maybe more. It's likely too blue sky but my dream is a full re-build of the entire water side of JP, using rockwork to build several stories worth of new space for an E-ticket simulator, immersive walk throughs and HP level food/merch concepts.

I don't think the gyro ride could even be possible with practical effects. The best thing they could do is build a box of screens and put a gyro simulator in the middle of it. Look around every corner it's completely 360. That would be beyond amazing and I could see them doing a little simulator like that somewhere. Maybe trikes could hold it idk

Yeah, they could rip out the ground floor of the Discovery Center and install a bunch of simulator boxes there.

As cool as the vehicles look on screen they are massively impossible and impractical. Imagine one roll of that lexan or glass rolling in a field of pooping dinos, squashed bugs and crushed green grass. One roll would create a disgusting view.

For me a Gyro attraction would work best based on a 4D wingerider , wouldn't necessarily have to be a fast paced coaster more a subtle pace using the movement a 4D coaster could offer.

This of course would have to coupled with amazing sets and stunning landscapes to pass through and would need to house a multitude of amazing AAs to bring it all to life.

Unfortunately this would require a area akin with DAKs savannah and a budget of roughly the same size, but hey nothing wrong with dreaming right?

I would like something along the lines of Mystic Manor but in the old Discovery Center that we see in the trailers with dinosaurs trying to break in to get us. They could make it multistory and simulate us "falling" from the first floor to the second. Once again, pipe dreams, but that was my imagining.

Its not really cornered though. With the many years of rumors of toon lagoon leaving they could always branch out that way and take up part of it.

Universal's biggest franchise is Fast and Furious though.

JP has so much land that they could chop it in half and create 2 separate islands. Kong isn't taking away anything, in fact it's adding another awesome attraction into IOA so there's no reason to complain, it's all for the best here

Right, it's completely mental to think about, but F&F is Universal's crown jewel right now. Jurassic World will probably do well, but it's going to struggle to make a billion, whereas Furious 7 raced by that mark and is now the 4th biggest movie ever.
