Yeah, but I'd prefer at least some AA's. Kind of like Everest did with the Yeti. Have them there but only in select areas/scenes.

I think we should judge the ride once we, at least, know more. Right now we’re still figuring it all out.
As long as it doesn't make JP look ugly that's all that matters to me.

So true. That is why I need to space out my trips so I can afford to do them right! Going November 2021 and then again three years later (2024), the new park will (hopefully) be open!

I agree - the flying coaster at USJ just looks bad and really damages the theming of the land.
What you're describing is the HP coaster.
I'm in the same boat as you, trust me. I'd prefer to keep JP a lush jungle. At the same time, if they deforest a bit to bring in a great new coaster, I'm not going to complain.
Until Raptor Encounter, JP sat untouched minus Kong. One and a half rides and a few walkthrough attractions doesn't quite cut it for the amount of space they have. Let's just be happy they're doing something.
But the best part of JP was the unused space. It made you feel as if you were secluded and in the middle of a jungle...until Kong and HP ruined that. It never felt cramped.

We're now down to complaining there's too many rides, and this ride isn't enough alike the one right next door?
I agree. The existence of Kong in JP pisses me off to no end, and I have made my opinion known here a few times on seeing the castle from the River Adventure.
Given these two things, it's clearly time to change the dynamic of that half of the park.
That said, Uni would have to be crazy to rip the landscape out completely. It's one of the best examples of horticulture in the industry, IMO.
Didn't say there were too many rides. Just hide this one with the land you already have. I'll sacrifice thrill for beauty in JP any day.

I don't think there has been a ride built at Disney or Universal that someone said DIDN'T need AAs. A coaster where you are zooming past everything is least likely to need them.

There are unfortunate aspects of Potter and Kong encroaching on JP but that has nothing to do with this project. They aren't going to rip out all the trees and plop Hulk in the middle of the land. There will be theming mainly for the passers by and the queue, but it's more about the thrills while on the ride. The "fan art" concepts or whatever you want to call em may not be exactly what's going in, but they are good illustrations of the scale. It's mostly taking over a closed area and you'll still be surrounded with trees. I understand the importance of the illusion that there's more area (where all the dinos are hiding), you get that with the kids area, you get that with JPRA and you'll still get that with this plot.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks the twisted metal of coasters are works of art
And here I was thinking, I'd be the only one as-well!
I'm still holding out for a DVC Kiosk

I feel VERY confident in saying it's a coaster.
The insight that @Alicia had on the HP coaster has made me into a believer. If she says it's a coaster in JP, it's a coaster.
