Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Cruiseshipfan]

The flyers don't count???

And I'm wondering how they can market this and potter at same time without conflicting each other?

Transformers 2013
Jurassic Park 2014
Harry Potter 2015

They will just advertise each one as it approaches opening, and not say anything about what is coming after it until the effect has worn off from the previous opening.
So advertisements starting in April for Transformers
Advertisements starting for in June 2014 for Jurassic Park
and advertisements a few months before Harry Potter. Maybe more time.

I love that you guys are running these article more and more, its great and prevents other sites from running their own article based on what they read here in the forums first and getting the credit for it when all they did was poach the info from you guys to begin with :thumbs:

Also, are you guys able to put a "Twitter Share" tab on the article pages? I didn't notice on the mobile page I was on and my work comp blocks those share tabs, I was able to share it on Facebook though thru the mobile page.

I agree, I'm more excited about the dark ride then the amber mine just because of the velocoraptor AA :happy:

 

[UNIrd]

HTF, you are the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the awesome article.

That JP expansion sounds insane. I hope and pray it's true.

Thanks for that Don! I would have much preferred that jeep ride over JPRA, but it was easier to clone that.

Love that idea so much. Islands of Adventure needs another family dark-ride.

Amen.

 

[mainejeff]

Count me in for the dark ride! Keep me out of the sun...and I feel it will give the island the original ambience john hammond wanted, based on the first Jurassic park movie.

I second that......the original JP was so magical. Everything about it was AWESOME. And can we just forget that JP2 (the San Diego Mis-Adventure) ever happened?.........JP3 was strangely watchable though. I hope that Spielberg & Co. hit a homerun with JP4.........would be nice to tie up the franchise with a GREAT ending.

As nice as it would be for 4 to be the big finale, everything I've seen has referenced it as the beginning to a new trilogy. Although the Jurassic Park movies have been fairly unique in that the three movies in the trilogy weren't continuations of the same quest, so to speak, but completely separate stories that happen to have Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna as backdrops. No reason why a JP4 couldn't be done in complete isolation from the others and any others that may follow.

This sounds amazing, but I am going to echo BriMan's words "take this with a grain of salt." Obviously Trikes is gonna go for the coaster, dark ride, and CJ expansion, but how big are they gonna be, and is there really that much land for those 3? Also, there is the expansion pad behind Thunder Falls that was not mentioned in the article, and they could easily close down and enhance the Flyers to accomedate more guests. And this is all gonna be done in a year? I don't know. We will need to wait on this.

Triceratops takes up a decent chunk of space, so it could probably all fit.

I agree with what everyone is saying. Im loving the fact that HatetoFly is writing these articles, and giving himself credit where as other people might pretend on other sites they have the info. KEEP THEM COMING!

But at this rate.....Universal might need another hotel! This 3 year window period is going to be INSANE. Im excited. Lets keep this steam and creativity going and have this trickle onto the rest of the resort.

Adios Disney

Who wants to quietly wait? I love the speculation of it all. I'm sure no one is thinking this is confirmed info. Besides, where there's smoke...there's an escaped dino not too far behind!

Seems like Uni is working its way around the Islands..........could Toon Lagoon be next???:drool5:

So I guess Potter has always been 2015 then? If so, I imagine early 2015, enough time to get everything tested, possible soft openings Holiday 2014.

Right now were guessing soft openings December 2014 then the grand opening June 2015.

Watching the JP movies today and some of the extras, and that dark ride is sounding better and better after watching the first one. If we get more dino AAs, specifically velociraptors, I hope they base them off of the first two films and not the third. I prefer the simpler, less exotic bird-like look in the first two.

 

[knokout1]

Honestly I'm glad we got JPRA. That Jeep ride looks like a maintenance nightmare. Even though a lot of the Dino AAs we already have are frequently down..and the boat tour gave the IOA Jurassic Park that special touch of uniqueness, like we really are on our own tour and not just following the footsteps of famous characters everyone's seen.
