Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Scott W.]

All good. Gwazi could be the best ride in Central Florida, for sure.

If tourism takes a huge dive and it hits the fan without little investment in the future, selfishly, I'm happy that we're getting an incredible line up of coasters coming over the next 18 months.

I don’t think it’s going to be bad enough where we have to worry about that, but yea

Is it safe to assume that construction will come to a halt while the parks are closed?

It will be continuing as far as I’m aware

 

[WillQ92]

It'll be a hell of a lot easier to move stuff in and out during park hours that's for sure.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I was gonna say if anything... can they get ahead on this possibly?

 

[gabe3235]

Lots of new footers and rebar in place since I was last at the park. The track and supports that have been installed are no longer visible from any spots in the park I could find.

Cool little temporary bridge they laid over the second launch.

Which conveniently blocked the view of the track and supports :fist:

 

[BBPH]

Wow, this is really more than just another coaster isn’t it.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Is their going to be more reconfiguring of the area or am I just having the hardest time finding where a queue for this would go?

Here, no?

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Here, no?

Ya this is likely correct, I guess I thought there was just more track involved over there, pushing things closer to the Discovery Center which really confused me for where a queue could even fit. Makes sense now, thanks!

 

[WaterToWade]

Will the queue start IN the DC?

 

[JoeCamel]

Will the queue start IN the DC?

I doubt it, the lines will be huge for the first year It needs to run up the side when it gets like this.

 

[Andysol]

Lots of workers there working- that's good!

Also- this is fun to see:


I think we'll see some walls down soon as well.
