You’re right. What do I know?

Now you're talking!

It's an Intamin so 2021 is being generous. The ride will be "finished" in 2020 but "ready" to ride in 2022.

Ooh, bold and italicized. Let me try it also:

They demoed the old buildings in April 2016 and it would have been an 11 month turnaround to get the ride up and running which they never were going to do.

11 months to build that ride simply wasn't going to happen at the same time they had Fallon, Hulk, VB, Sapphire, and Cabana Bay going on.

You’re right. What do I know?

Or, it's a different property and they're doing something different this time around with a movie release and attraction tie in

To throw a wild idea out there. Let’s say that Jurassic World bombs at USH (Which I highly doubt) and Universal decide not to copy it to IOA, then maybe I could see a 2020 opening on the basis that they’re planning to open the coaster and JPRA revamp at the same time.

I imagine they'll have time to soft open this one, just a hunch though

Feeling the heat in here

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

You’re right. What do I know?

You’re right. Fallon was going to open around November of 2016 and F&F was spring 2017. Then the building issues popped up and Fallon was pushed to the Spring spot.

But you don’t know anything. pal.

Whew chile.. I'm just gonna come back later. I think 2021 though.

Look, Dustin, you can't stop the feeling. So just dance dance dance...

In all seriousness though, I love @Brian G. and all is good. He's my hero.

To bring it back around, this is a big day w/ tracks on the land. Let's get back to complaining about the color. :grin:

Welcome to Florida.

 

[themeparkshark]

Welcome to Florida.

at least no more of that in the hagride queue... huh... huh?? :ay:

Sigh... Jimmy Fallon announced that his ride was opening in 2017 in October of 2015... 6 months before they demoed Disaster!



But other than that, you're exactly right.

:yawn:

Wasn't expecting the black track (could be charcoal gray or very navy blue idk doubt it) but I'm loving the double spine !! :drool:

I was expecting dark gray, but this looks pretty black to me. Wonder if it was just cheaper to get black since they already manufacturer it for other rides?

 

[Stryker]

Welcome to Florida.

I hate Florida in the summer. Come to So Cal. It's 67 and cloudy where I'm at right now.

 

[Viator]

In the terms of whether it was intended to come earlier, let's just hope we don't have a VB situation with the track, to where it combusts into flames and causes a delay.
