So pretty much the only track left to install is a turn into the brake run, and the brake runs themselves, right?

if that was the name, I'd wager 90% of the general public would call it Raptor Run in their regular conversations.
The Uni skyline has been changed forever.
EDIT: Islands’ skyline!! Although I’m sure you can see it from the areas right outside of property as well as the Universal resorts.

That pic is actually taken off center near the entrance of Confisco's. I actually looked at this yesterday when I was in the park. Walking from Port of Entry into the park, you can only see the Discovery Center because those big trees to the left cover the big hill and top hat section. It's almost like the site line was thought out a little upon entrance.
Yes. The final tunnel. Marked in orange on my original track layout.
Is it possible that the 'raptor chase' element on that last scene takes place alongside the wall that back onto Popeyes and were chased into the security fencing (orange part of the map) as it bends round the corner, where were 'safe'?

Makes more sense for it to be after the uturn to accommodate an initial brake run for the ride.
I snuck off to the park yesterday for the first time since October and I have to say, the coaster really fits in it's location! You can barely see it traversing through the other islands and it really looks great in the lagoon with hulk. From inside Jurassic park, it gives off the impression of being an animal exhibit. This is definitely one of those "you gotta see it in person" things as I have had my doubts.

Four is much more likely - one in the spaghetti bowl block, one in the helix block, one in load/unload, and one either waiting in the brake run or waiting to launch.
Maybe a five if there’s separate load/unload. No idea if it does because I never ask clarifying questions when I hear anything about this (based on what I had heard, I thought the raptor chase was screen based in the second launch tunnel, so by now I’m assuming I didn’t understand that correctly in the moment).

Sone of those classic Intamin "designed for x, runs better with x-1" situations.

Starting to look a bit cluttered to be honest. What do we think they'll drop from the skyline promos? I say Fearfall or MIB leaves.
