Unless if they try to do a Hyperion in seating, my gut tells me two-seats will be the style. I'd even wager an evolved form of the style of trains from Taron as the basis to maximize the amount of airtime.

Every Blitz has also had the triangular track and not the double backbone we are seeing now. So if they aren't making exceptions, this won't be a blitz.

Intimidator 305 has the double spine track and it’s still classified as a giga coaster by Intamin. It really just depends on what the buyer wants to do.

Not surprised to see Intamin try new things out with different track pieces...This track looks like a Premier or S&S...They were known for the triangular truss design, wonder why they changed

^Wasnt really correcting anybody rather delivering info to the community. But since you wanna be so abrasive here’s the link to the Intamin website so you can learn the classifications of their rides for yourself. Have at it homie.

You made two statements that were corrective in nature, but wasn't correcting anybody.

OK bro.

I realize it is technically just as safe. I like the comfort of feeling like I'm fully restrained, though.

Same! I love the over-the-head-suck-you-in restraints. Couldn't it be like RnR? Feet don't dangle in that one...

You can’t even raise your arms on RNRC! I say this with all do respect, but that’s a terrible proposition :lol:

Ok now that we have seen JW in Cali, what is the feeling of it coming here to go side by side with the coaster?

I don't want a one-to-one clone of what Hollywood just got. Let them keep the Mosasaurus scene as a Hollywood exclusive, but give IOA's ride a slightly reworked version of Hollywood's new second half and finale.

Very underwhelming was my thought of the new ride! They didn’t change or add enough to warrant changing out the classic JP theme. I think this is good news for us that want to keep Orlando JP. I don’t think universal is going to get the gushing good reviews it had hoped for with this update to justify changing Orlando to JW.

At the very least we need brand new animatronics like they got. The Rex is very fluid

Oofff complete opposite reaction for me. It’s much better than the current version and everyone who has been on it loves it. Bring it here ASAP.

I completely understand what you mean because when I saw the POV video it didn’t feel like a huge change from the old version however the Orlando ride still needs a major update so I’m fine with them bring this version here with some changes unique to our layout.
