Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Odds of the queue actually containing some dinosaurs? I'll set the over/under at 50%.

Since Universal - for reasons which defy my comprehension - doesn't want to add dinos anywhere else in the land, if there are some in the queue, I'll take that as a minor victory.

I bet the first scene will have raptors in their stables, and that would be visible from within the queue, and maybe even walking by. That could be a neat way to add energy to the land, while also fleshing out a coaster ride’s theming.

You ever seen that thread: Why we can’t have nice things?

Yes, but I'm not sure I follow you.

If there's any lush forest left after they're done with coaster supports and track. :_:

I think they can get creative with it in the same way that they are doing with the HP Coaster...it remains to be seen...I think Kumba is a local example of a ride that works in with the tropical terrain

 

[Scott W.]

Yes, but I'm not sure I follow you.

If they put a Dino AA within reach of a guest, you can almost guarantee that some moron will probably break it at some point.

Has that been a problem with the goblins in Gringotts' queue, or the witch doctor in Kong? That's more along the lines of what we'd be talking about, right?

Yes, people have touched the goblins. There is video of it on you tube.

 

[TheCodeMan95]

This is literally the number one thing I want in JP. Just random dino AAs behind fences. I feel like they could manage to fit some in Camp Jurassic and along the path.

Then they'll have to make sure people can't reach them. I'd think they'd have chain link fences or something around them anyways, so the dinosaurs are "properly contained" or some theming bologna like that.

 

[Tyc00n96]

Any idea when we think we will see some tree clearing/ start of construction?

Should have already started according to permits. Rumors are some of this project was delayed, but that it should be getting back on track any day now. Hopefully.

Just gotta point out the humor in this conversation and here you are with a picture leaning over the rope and kissing a Dinosaur lol

I'm picturing the ride is about us going to see Jurassic Park's new efforts in training Raptors, so lots of videos about Raptors and the history of the park play overhead throughout the queue, and then as we approach the end of the line we see an actor in front of animatronic raptors in cages (whether in person or on a big TV) about to present the new training techniques when UH-OH! there has been a power outage and the Raptors have escaped!

Turns out they may not have been as well trained as we said, so for your safety quickly make your way to the remote controlled jeeps and we will get you out of harms way until these clever girls can be captured.

The coaster is then us trying to stay one step ahead of the raptors, the sounds of them running, hissing and breathing will be playing on speakers in the headrests. We move quickly through the forests and around buildings, occasionally going through holes in fences that they chewed, "They're gaining on us! Lets go up and over this research station" for hills, and finally we pull into the station to see that the Raptors are back in their cages "You weren't in any real danger (Raptor nips at his finger) Er, probably. Enjoy your time at Jurassic Park!"


While I would prefer more up-close time with animatronic Dinosaurs, I still miss Triceratops Encounter, I think this could work.

Sounds way more involved than what the ride will actually be.

I mean probably, but in reality it is just a roller-coaster with a little extra story telling in the queue, a soundtrack, and a couple head chopper walls, that's far closer to Hulk than what The Hagrid Coaster is looking like, so hopefully they could pull it off.

Haha!! Never even thought about that when I posted!! Gotta love camera angles - I kept a solid foot between me and that raptor. I don't know where it's been.

 

[amityboattours]

I think 2 or 3 raptors in the line like this image would be great. Keep them well away from prying hands, a similar distance to the floating avatar body in the Flight of Passage line.

I like it. Simplistic, and just about the only movement that would be necessary to fool the mind would be some moving eyes and occasional rattling of the cage.

When IoA first opened the containment areas off to the sides of the main path had occasional noises and movements like something was lurking and it was really effective for creating the whole JP mood as you walked through. Over time the noise of the park and just the increased crowds have diminished the effectiveness of the "dinosaurs of the imagination" all around you.
