Yea, I think too much has been focused on the will they/won't they change it to JW thing. I think if they do "retheme" JP to JW in IOA, all it's going to entail is some changing signage and that's about it

No. Beijing's ride is large, and partially indoors. Ours will be more compact and all outdoors
Nope, sadly. Hopefully it ends up in the new park in some way, whether it’s Jurassic World or it gets themed to something else.
And all the supports were recently inspected, rebolted and repainted. It’s looking good, and they’re not done yet.

This sounds about right. Construction was to have started by now. So maybe it’ll be late 2020 instead of summer 2020?
I mean, if it's just a coaster, I don't see why they can't have it up and running in a year
I don’t think it’s just a coaster. We’ll probably see some other major changes as well, but not Jurassic World theming.
The ride is certainly just a coaster. There's no major show scenes or buildings needed.
There might be an unexpected amount of theming on this coaster. Show scenes/buildings? No. But other stuff? Probably.
I hope your right. I want rockwork, not Everest style rockwork, but at least some.

The coaster won’t be announced until after D23. It will be similar to the flying dinosaur with a launch.
You said this once, but can you give a source? Or are you just going to say a prediction and call it as a rumor.
If it's just a mostly bare coaster, with the only theming being most likely in the queue; then I don't see the need of concern for them needing to start now.
This makes me happy to see. What I'm also hearing.This. It wouldn't take that long to complete they layout. Bulk of the work of course will be station and see below....
I don't think we'll see much JW stuff around the ride itself, but as stated in the video....ride is HIGHLY rumored to be JW. I think it's funny that we already have Blue in the JP area and no one mentions it.
Just a coaster...but I'm hearing there might be one small show scene at the beginning of the ride and that's it.
In all fairness, Blue was promoted by Universal Orlando too as if "yeah, she's here too.."
That said, it should be relatively easy for them. And considering it's just a coaster and not having a lavish indoor set of showbuildings, it shouldn't take as long as others may be thinking. The only quarrel though, could just be footers and land clearing, but that could go quick depending on things.

That said..I am curious if River Adventure gets redone by 2020; considering the rumored completion date of the coaster (and that Hollywood is now underway on it's conversion).
