Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[SpatulaShack]

Judging by this image from Bio, I'm having trouble picturing how that rumored skinny showscene Alicia outlined at the end of the ride would fit in here. The track curves around the maintenance building after the final brake run and appears to just hug the wall the entire time. I'm not seeing any room in that space to build anything. Am I missing something?

Looks like it’ll be in the same style as the connector tunnel between load and launch 1.

Anyone have a good guess of the total track length? Is Hagrid’s length of 5,053 feet a good over/under?

I'd venture to say in the 4,200-4,300ft range.

These footings look like they may support something pretty decent in size. Maybe an enclosure of some sort?

Yes. The final tunnel. Marked in orange on my original track layout.

Hopefully the scene Alicia described in her newest video is really a thing

My jaw dropped when she said it tbh lol

I'll be satisfied with the show scene at the beginning to be honest

Another show scene would be far and above what I'm expecting

Doesn't sound like the "scene" at the beginning will be much of a scene

Yes because I’m sure they put a fairly large building around it for no reason

Alicia says it's a countdown for the launch, and not more than that.

 

[Trumen882]

Has anyone tried to figure out a better estimate for the top hat height? The new pictures make it seem like it'll be around 140 feet but haven't been able to find the precise height anywhere

Bioreconstruct has some pictures that show off the height compared to the other stuff on site. I'm no expert, but it looks like anywhere between 150-160ft. Rockit is 167ft and people who have seen the top hat in person seem to say it's roughly the same height as Rockit.

EDIT: speaking of Bio, I noticed this hiding in his aerials of the HHN tents-

Looks an awful lot like what they're putting in along the JP waterfront.

Ah didn’t know that, will check out the video

Seems odd to have a building so large for just a countdown

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

think of that building as being the battery pack that runs the launches, because that’s essentially what it is without getting too technical. Hagrids has the same thing hidden around trees in certain spots on the ride.

Half the building is backstage stuff.

Yes, exactly.

 

[WillQ92]

Even with the power box in that building, there's still plenty of room for a decent amount of scenery. Anyone that's ridden Copperhead Strike at Carowinds should be familiar with the scene before the first launch- it wouldn't be too far out of the question to expect something on par with that.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Well yeah, in @Alicia ’s video she explains the scene and it sounds pretty cool. It’s essentially the sally port between civilians and dinosaurs. When the chamber doors behind you close the ones to the raptors opens and then you launch. Honestly it sounds completely awesome to me and will certainly be one of the best prelaunch sequences in theme park history. This sounds better than hulks original launch tube sequence.
