Hate to be debbi downer here, but given the limited space available in the JP area, and the ride capacity of such a ride, I would expect a Gyrosphere ride to be entirely simulator based. Maybe it could share a big screen with lots riding at same time like BttF/Simpsons, or have individual screens around each sphere. But I don't see the plausibility of doing it justice without screens, and I don't see the footprint of doing it like Kong with a ride path, now that Kong is moving in next door and taking up all the good space.
I like the idea of a Sum of All Thrills type experience in the ball, that way when the Indominus rex picks you up, you actually rise up. But the ride capacity for that attraction isn't nearly good enough to handle the hoards of folks that'll be lining up to ride.
The film's producer and others are adamant that the Gyrosphere would make a great ride at Orlando, so we'll see.
It's 2015. It's time to move past the omnimover.
Sorry not sorry.

I'll lightly disagree. Just because Universal does not feature a lot of slow rides, especially omnimovers.
I'm guessing Universal has enough to deal with with the existing animatronics at River Adventure, and I bet you, whatever we get, will have little to no physical dinosaurs. They are just too sick of fixing skins.
And anyone riding a Gyrosphere ride, (general public) would probably be expecting something exciting to happen. As much as it pains me to say it, a screen based attraction would be the best fit. It could really sell the craziness of an Indominus rex attack and the grand scope of a valley full of running herbivorous dinosaurs like in the film.

If, big if, anything like this happened, I assume they would go with indoor show scenes, negating the need for the skins.
Yeah, and they all want to travel on WHEELS too. How passé.Slow rides are fine. But it seems like every fan blue sky idea always revolves around an omnimover, which is what? 50 years old?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess..TPI is having their annual best new attraction of the year award(July 2014-July 2015). One of the comments from a Florida gal was that her favorite new attraction was the Raptor Encounter. She said she loved Gringotts & HE, but the Raptor lifelike fluid movements & Raptor show actually impressed her the most, and that's her favorite new attraction. This from a TPI contributor that always has credible & knowledgeable comments. I would think that's a real compliment for the Raptor Encounter, to even be spoken in the same breath as those two excellent attractions. Pretty decent guest satisfaction at minimal cost.
