So, we're getting a drone coaster with a catapult launch?

Honestly a Gyro Sphere would be a cool Trolly in the Sky type ride ( I know it wont happen) circling a new JW land. Dont need an Indoor dark ride with screenz.

Would love a fast gyrophere in the sky ride kinda like the pteranodon flyers, just way more advanced and sleek. Or cool Gondolas going through JP.

I was able to ask about the Jurassic expansion and what I heard, goes along the lines of what some others have said here. I got word of a next level coaster as a new Jurassic Park ride. He said this thing is supposed to be insane. Remember, I’m just spreading along what I hear and he tells me not to post anything he tells me. But since the coaster thing is already flying around in here, just thought I would add to it.

As long as it’s not something like Dragon Challenge I’m good. We finally just got rid of an eyesore coaster at that end of the park.

This wouldn’t have to be a screen based ride at all. You suspend the gyroscope from above and then hide the track. The gyroscope looks like it’s freestanding from your perspective. Some mechanics would rotate part of the shell to sell the idea that the gyroscope is spinning.

At that point, you’ve built a Disneyland Submarine ride. That ride doesn’t rely on screens.

I never said they needed a screen. The track above doesn’t have to be hidden, it can be something similar to what is in the picture. Also, it doesn’t need to spin because it’s in the air. It will just be a stagnenet ball on a white tack above it.

I still don’t see why people call DC an eyesore. River Adventure is literally a huge concrete box that’s supposed to be on a remote island park.

I think it's a water treatment facility. I think it makes sense considering in the movie Ellie goes in to the electrical compound area to restart the power, so we go to a similarly industrial facility to "escape"

It still contrasts with everything else in the land visually, even if it makes sense in universe. Also why the heck is a water treatment facility that tall? And why does it have a huge conveyor belt inside??? :lol:

It’s suppoed to be the JP Environmental Sytsems Building, and a converyor belt takes you to the top of the building so a park ranger can escort you off the raft and you can be rescued.

I’m not arguing if it makes sense or not(although it still doesn’t make sense why there’s a huge conveyor belt in an “Environmental Systems” building), I’m just saying I think its basic concrete design looks jarring in contrast to the lush jungle of the island, and that it’s much more of an eyesore than DC ever was, I always thought DC’s tracks looked beautiful, imo.

I think it made sense but I’ve always found the building iconic. It was one of the most noticeable elements when IOA was getting built.

What I’m saying is the RA building is iconic, but iconic ≠ pretty.

If we really wanna talk about the main showbuilding, at-least it isn't like you guys have it painted in brown and grey's.

I love our JPRA. The building is much more grand, and our runway at the end is huge. Over in Hollywood I’m pretty sure they have a brake system that you can obviously see through the water. Even the archeway where the boat comes out from is much nicer.

Honestly, I do too. I'm just trying to make a point about what people consider an eyesore.
