Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[RFRees]

If the coaster opens in 2021, I guess we're assuming the games and other areas across from the coaster will be ready ahead of that (maybe later this year).

Seeing what they do with the newer areas outside of the coaster will give us a good idea of whether they'll do a complete retheme to JW in the near future.

Pretty cool fan concpet

Orlando Weekly says they have sources who say the August 1st announcement had originally included the JP Coaster. They say the announcement had been scaled back.

I trust Ken about as far as I could throw him.

That being said, I think we'll be getting more announcements soon

Really really cool video. Needs cavern canopy over the old Trike area though.

It never included it because it was a Comcast event. Ask Ken how the roughness on Hagrid is going.

What do you mean by cavern canopy? I'm a bit confused.

More rockwork

More rockwork

Oh, I guess that makes sense. But that POV honestly made me realize how good this ride could be. Can't wait!

While the POV does look fun, not sure we really needed it to know how cool a roller coaster through Jurassic World could be. Especially if we get one or two show pieces, as rumored. I am expecting more theming like the rockwork in Camp Jurassic though, in addition to the concrete JW style buildings we see here as well.

I sort of needed it to see what it could actually look like. I've never seen the majority of the Jurassic films, and none of the POV's and images I saw had any of the theming elements shown here. There's also more to the layout in this POV like the inverting drop and the corkscrew that wasn't in the other POV's.

How will the rockwork be able to fit in with all the buildings? Isn't that space pretty cramped?

That's why I called it a canopy, I think it's like a cave roof thingy to essentially enclose some of the spaghetti bowl section. Plus, of course, jungle foliage and electric fences.

I’d say it’s a proof of concept and not to be too tied to any one part of it.

Expectations raised

That POV was really good...is that a pretty accurate representation based on permits?

Argh, that top hat...I'm finally going to face my fears and do RRR in December, and I'm sure I'll find that the drops don't bother me anymore (I loved Ripsaw when I went last time, to my surprise.)

But that top hat.

 

[WillQ92]

What's funny to me is all of the people on r/rollercoasters saying that there's no way this coaster gets a tophat- despite there always being a tophat in every leaked concept art or layout.

Thrill rides have a tendency to look more fearful than they actually are. Once you summon the courage to give it a try, you'll probably say, heck that was easy and fun, damn that I didn't try it earlier. :thumbsup::toast:

wasnt there a permit stating for construction to be completed in 2021? doesnt that confirm a 2021 opening?
