Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Quint]

New beasties are FINALLY on their way. I expect we might see them by month's end.

 

[Jwhee]

Beasties..?

Laverne & Shirley?

 

[Quint]

Laverne & Shirley?

As I have it, those names are in the running. My money's on Ginger and Mary Ann.

It has taken that long??? REALLY? I just don't get it.

(i love it when i don't get it because then i have to drill down so that i get it)

BTW, have the other girls suffered any blisters or blemishes yet? I would wince at a fraying neck.

Apparently they receive maintenance multiple times daily to keep them in good nick.

Weren't the raptors in Jurassic World females?

Yes, but apparently Hasbro didn't get that memo:
Dinosaur Experts In Uproar After Hasbro Referred To ‘Jurassic World’ Raptor Toys As Male – Consumerist

I don't want to derail the thread with this link. I just thought it to be an interesting find. Mods, please remove if necessary.

 

[martymcflyy85]

Can you please be a little more clear? Are you saying more Raptors are coming to the Raptor Encounter?

 

[NashvilleTrio]

Gotcha.

Incidentally, River Adventure looked fantastic last weekend. The indoor section was the best I've ever seen, the T-Rex in particular. The lighting and smokescreen that it comes through looked perfect. Much better than what I've seen in previous years.

Agreed. I haven't seen the T-Rex look that good in years. The smoke and movement were great.

Hasbro has already addressed this and made changes.

All of the dinos were bred as females.

 

[Nico]

My only thought was we should get Blue and Delta. At least make the costumes look a bit different.

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

All of the dinos were bred as females.

...but don't forget, they can change their sex.

 

[Teebin]

...but don't forget, they can change their sex.

So can anyone these days... OH, you mean reproductive sex... never mind. :look:

Any new news on a possible new E-ticket to the land,since they have already anounced a sequel to JW? It's been a little quiet as of late...

Its time for this rumor to die, at least for the forseeable future. Even if you ignore the fact that a Jurassic World ride would be seriously redundant in a theme park land that is already based on earlier movies in the same exact franchise, Kong will be big on dino's. IOA doesn't need 3 dinosaur attractions in a row (yes, Raptor Encounter counts as a dinosaur attraction and yes, it is Universal's answer to JW's success).

 

[NJBrandon]

Kong will be big on dino's.

:whistle:
