Yea it was announced on the AP newsletter a week or two ago.

I do wonder what kind of ride it will be. If it's a themed family coaster like what's been rumored forever, they'll have to get really creative, as that is a really small area. Big Thunder is about 1.7 acres while SDMT is 2-ish (Man SDMT wastes its space). They could probably get away with making smaller trains to fit more into a small space...but then we have capacity/line issues.
I definitely don't think there's room there for anything super thrilling like some were saying, unless they put a drop tower there or something (they won't put a drop tower there)
Knowing Universal, would you really be surprised if they put coaster track out in front of the Discovery Center (like Rip Ride Rockit in front of the facades,) or over pathways with nets (like Flying Dinosaur?)
The area in question is nearly as big as Camp Jurassic. You throw in some supports that branch out in different parts of the land and you got yourself a coaster... Especially if it's more family (Coastersaurus at Legoland Florida) and less thrill ride (Lightning Rod at Dollywood.)

Of course, it's always possible that the new attraction will not be a coaster. We really do not know. Gentle Giants Petting Zoo anyone?
Or, just to play devils advocate, maybe they're building a permanent Raptor Encounter complex in that area, with one big building with multiple show rooms, kind of like how Olivanders works...

EDIT: He's literally the last raptor alive in the film series, and the report says a new "raptor" is coming.
OMG I'm usually the one to do that and correct folks. Touche'. Touche' indeed.*She.
Either way, more than one Raptor for the meet-and-greet is certainly needed. Does anyone know how long until the new encounter area on the waterfront is completed?So far all we have is the demolition permit for a 1.36 acre area, it's very possible that the project area for new construction will be larger - but we'll have to wait for more permits to confirm that...

Kong misters were back on when I visited last weekA mister mistery. We need to get the Scooby gang on this.
Turning off the misters is an odd thing. They were great for atmosphere.
Best news all day!Kong misters were back on when I visited last week
What about the Camp Jurassic misters and torches?Kong misters were back on when I visited last week
Without a dual announcement I wonder...Welp we have confirmation of JW taking over JP: The Ride at USH.
Now we wait for movement at IoA

Maybe we get a River Adventure update, but they double down on Jurassic PARK for Orlando? Improving our ride, but further changing it to be even more different than Hollywood. That way there's still a JP home somewhere for all the inevitable complainers. (Mission Breakout on west coast, Tower of Terror on east type of deal.) Hmmm.
