Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

The land under Toon Lagoon is, um, not exactly stable. That's all I'll say about that for now.

Welp. Now that vague, ominous answer will be stuck in my head every time i'm in Toon Lagoon. "Thanks" Alicia.
:up:

I don't have inside info but this doesn't surprise me and probably isn't a surprise to them, just extra work.

Oh definitely not anything they didn’t already know before starting this project, but something people outside the company likely aren’t aware of.

This explains a lot. Every single time I go on Popeye's and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges, the first sign twirls around and sends me in the wrong direction. I'm ready to go to Paradise Island, but we always get sent down Hurricane River. Every. Single. Time.

This explains it! Obviously, sinkholes and tectonic shifts are responsible!

On the subject of that scene, I'm really hoping that it gets fixed during the refurbishment. The signs have been flipped the wrong way as of the last few times I've been on, so it would start off with the correct locations and flip to the wrong ones after getting close. Hurricane River flips towards Paradise Island and vice versa.

I just noticed they have the Steel Drums show in Jurassic Park again . I haven't seen that show there since 2011. I'd imagine they brought it back to help recompense for all the construction walls temporarily destroying the land's ambiance. The band is a nice positive move.

Rode Trolly today and there's MASSIVE construction going on. Would love to see some Bio pics soon.

Tons and tons of forms for the foundations/footers for this ride are now staged behind The Simpson's Ride. They're clearly visible from the Universal Monsters haunted house line, but are technically backstage so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a photo? Either way, it shouldn't be long before they start pouring concrete and going vertical!

There was the guy on Reddit a few months ago who said he is a crane operator and has knowledge of his next Uni gig and he is scheduled to begin operations in December. Seems like December may be the start of vertical

It's beginning to look a lot like progress... Everything where you go! :snowman:

 

[GAcoaster]

So, how long until we see it go vertical? With so many footers in and so much track on site, I'd figure it starts going up soon.

 

[BBPH]

Lots of activity in there today, will see if I can grab some pictures.

What's the rumored timeline for this to open? 2020/2021?

Sorry, haven't been on in a while.

Hagrid's was way more intense than I thought it'd be, can't even begin to imagine whats in store here!!!

 

[Mad Dog]

Lots & lots of construction photos on Alicia's Theme Park Stop site today.

Insiders, think we get an announcement on this before the new year? If I recall, correct me if I’m wrong, it was rumored that this coaster was going to be announced Aug 1 instead of Epic Universe, so just curious.

I doubt you hear about this before late 2020
