Oh, no! Shades of Drachen Fyre!

 

[JoeCamel]

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.

You need to follow Alicia. Good update this morning

edit: Complete with RAPTORCAM!

I'll remove my earrings now

Very fitting that a modern day raptor is nesting on the raptor roller coaster.

I put a video clip on Twitter of her. Nest doesn’t seem to be fully formed. And it’s not egg season, so hopefully they can take care of it before eggs are laid in a few months.

This is, absolutely amazing:





EDIT: Also, have they ever really responded to anything having anything to do with this coaster with something besides "stay tuned to our social channels for updates"?

 

[GAcoaster]

We THOUGHT they were building a coaster, but it's really a sculptural osprey nest...

Funny, although if this Osprey stays there it will have to be moved I believe

edit: never mind misinterpreted the text of the document.

I think she may have moved on already from what onlookers are saying. And the stormy winds may have swept away her nest, since she was only getting started. If anyone's visiting in the next few days, bring some binoculars and give us an update!

Umm... you clearly called it a Raptor on Velocicoster and Universals marketing dept. retweeted it.

Why are you surprised? Have you not met Alicia?

Maybe not.

 

[SkiBum]

Maybe not.

Osprey to self: "Let the humans think what they want, I got to ride this coaster first!!"

 

[Disneyhead]

Maybe not.

Maybe she is part of Universal Creative's Anti-Drone Defense System.

 

[shiekra38]

Maybe not.

I think the only option is to hold Horror Nights to scare it away

But honestly it will probably see the trim brakes next to it and get pissed off at Intamin and leave

She's teamed up with the killer bees on Hagrid's coaster.

I love that rockwork. Its very tall, and it seems like the type of rockwork you'd find in a raptor enclosure.

 

[Magic-Man]

Looks like theming on the back half will start soon. There's a circular foundation near the bunny hop.

Yeah tons of work on the waterfront.
