Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

It seems very cartoony for them to shape it like a dinosaur

I'm not sure why, but Kong is the only animal shaped rock I like haha

I wonder if it’s gonna end up being Bob Chapek giving us his loudest “roooarrrrr!!!” As we pass on by and escape to the lagoon

I'm a little surprised that they haven't capped off the top hat by now. The speed at which they put up the second tower and the drop from it had me thinking we'd see it done already.

Maybe waiting on the rest of the track to be done, then ceremoniously put in the top of the top hat as a "topping out" ceremony. There is typically some pomp and circumstance around placing the last piece of structural steel on a job of this size, obviously not for public consumption but for the internal project team. I know I've eaten a free lunch and signed a few roof joist at similar events.

Attention! Attention! We have an announcement!

We’re building a roller coaster.

I remember when I thought Universal's magnum opus was behind that wall

Haha love how divisive the attraction is. Very entertaining for me, I kind of see it as a sleeper magnum opus. One time I even wrote a monologue for Theatre class about the attraction.

I love it for what it is after riding it a ton. I remember the first time being really let down.

Then F&F happened and I appreciate Kong more.

I don't mind the ride in a vacuum, but I loathe its placement in Jurassic Park.

More like Attention! We will make an announcement about the announcement we might make near the end of the year :surprised:

Oop..

 

[Clive]

I was getting really close to asking we table the "it's shaped like a dinosaur" talk. Guess I'm glad I waited.

 

[Scott W.]

Looks like a giraffe to me.

 

[belloq87]

I hope that doesn't end up looking too goofy.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I hope that doesn't end up looking too goofy.

Universal traded Marvel theme park rights for the rights to use Goofy as a rock confirmed.

 

[JMalez]

I just can't stop thinking about the dinos off of I-4 at the Dinosaur World exit.

 

[Nico]

I still think this thing is an ink blot test. The rock work currently going up looks like a dinosaur. How do we explain all the framework in front of the mouth? Or the position of the “tail” (essentially coming out of the neck)?

 

[Teebin]

Perhaps it will breath fire every 15 minutes...

 

[WillQ92]

From the last set of aerials, the base of that rockwork had already started and it didn't look much like a dinosaur. The base is much wider than the area we are seeing from the pictures taken from the path level. I truly think we're looking at a sort of shard shaped structure like the JPRA sign.
