Going to Universal for the first tie in 8 years, im going in late June, do you think there a good chance the new roller coaster would be open by then?

Nothing is predictable at all these days unfortunately but all signs would point to yes for that date.

Chances are good

I really enjoy that they added a bit of old fashion JP fencing to the top of the JW style cement/steel enclosures.

And the JP style warden lookout on top of the load building with the windows from JW. It’s overall a good mix of styles.

I wonder what the price tag of all this is? It's a pretty extensive project and way more than I was expecting tbh

From August...

Well, I think about how every electric fence the land has ever had has had trees and bushes between it and the walkway thus far.

Of course, the viewing areas will not have trees in front, as they butt right up to the walkway for easy peering into the enclosure. But yea, this is looking fantastic!

You guys weren’t kidding when you said it feels a lot bigger in person

Cheaper than Hagrid’s, at most.

Somewhere between Churro and Diagon Alley

This math checks out.

I was taking some promotional photos in work today for new products. Some of the signs that are 10ft long look tiny and this has really got me revaluating how big this is in person.

It's freaking massive and imposing in person...With a car zooming around the track it will be truly spectacular

Rocks! Hopefully they fully landscape the embankment instead of the dirt they have in Diagon.

Paddock area/mountain looks extra imposing at night. Glad the hours were until 10 this weekend. Also reminded me how great the night ride on JPRA is.

I'm guessing it will be very dramatic once they install the lighting package. If they put a projector or two on top of the wall they could have the odd raptor moving around the area as a shadow.

eta: just a thought - what do raptors do at night? Nest in trees?

This looks so dynamic and adds so much to the Jurassic section. Super impressed how it's all coming together with the trees and finished rock color
