[Magic Feather]

The rockwork on this attraction looks absolutely insane.

Sorry if this has been asked.
Do you think the shrink wrap on the track is so they can put off opening this until we do not have to social distance ?
I can't see them doing a Grand opening soon when that will cause large crowds .
Soft openings can't happen with shrink wrap on .
Or is that so the scenery company doesn't paint the ride?

It's a common measure to protect against damage from ongoing construction

It's so they don't accidentally get concrete or paint on the track while doing the nearby rockwork.

Exactly, they did the same thing with Hagrid. Plus if they were going to mothball the ride till tourism "returns" or the virus is mitigated then they'd just leave it as is, remember they left the track in the EU lot for a year without protection.

Not sure why, but I love this photo... layers of info I guess!

The queue building must be at least 60ft tall.

Wow didn’t realize how big the building was. Guess the queue will slope upwards at points.

So uh, NYT posted an article on Dominion--Velocicoaster was directly mentioned.

‘We Are the Guinea Pigs’: Hollywood Restarts Its Blockbuster Machine (Published 2020)

“Jurassic World: Dominion,” filming in England, is a chance for the movie industry to see if it can move past the financial woes caused by the pandemic.

At-least we have a "name" properly for the coaster, and considering in the article they spoke to various individuals from NBCU/Comcast involved on Dominion..it really isn't a "rumor" at this point.

A "tie in" can be very surface level as in a JW movie is out along with a JW ride but I wonder if they will pull anything from Dominion into the attraction

Team Velocicoaster!

Well that was casual af.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

It's just as easily they pulled that from research than something from Universal. I'd not consider this an announcement or name confirmation.

It’s in quotes. The author is referring to it as if it were a nickname in my mind. Definitely not a confirmation yet. that sentence is reported so matter of factly, yet the coaster Project itself hasn’t even been announced yet, so I’m assuming he’s relaying what others have reported.

Good update video, discussion on trim breaks included as well

 

[Bobharlem]

Can anyone there confirm that there Is there a large bird nest at the top of the tophat now? I drove by it and that's what it kinda looked like.
