Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Paint it a darker color and nobody will ever see it again

Another coin in the "change to JW" bucket haha

I'm curious to see if Universal will do anything about this.

All that is needed is a strip of copper or zinc flashing at the top of the roof. The resolved metals for rain will prevent the growth of algae.

 

[Andysol]

You guys read way too much into things. He posted a single picture of a new thing that popped up.

No criticism. No commentary. No demand for something to be fixed.

So I didn’t get the chance to take a video, but there’s an effect on JP:RA that I’ve never seen before in all my years of going to UOR (or at least don’t remember).

There’s a projection on your right in the main building just after you begin to ascend the lift. It appears to be two raptors communicating (I assume ones you meet ahead.) and a T-Rex making its way up the lift (also probably the one you meat ahead).

Is this a new effect? Or an old one that hasn’t worked in years?

Two raptor shadows look at each other, then run forward. The effect has always been there.

 

[RFRees]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there's a new T-Rex Encounter near the JP Coaster construction and Raptor Encounter. I think it's much better than the Raptor Encounter... especially because there was a zero minute wait!

I actually really like that name! It has a ring to it. Prefer that to raptor run or indocoaster

 

[Scott W.]

Nice and simple. I like it.

I sounds familiar though.

Edit: I think this is what I was thinking of:
2017-2020 Ford Raptor - Up To 750 HP | Hennessey Performance

Owen Grady's Magical Velocicoaster Motorbike Adventure

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Love Velocicoaster. Also loving all this news we're getting this week! Nice and simple name. Well done.

 

[JungleSkip]

Velocicoaster is so bad it’s good

 

[Scott W.]

The more I think about it, the more I hate it.

I see what they're trying to do but it seems to imply the opposite of what it should be.

 

[WillQ92]

At least it's not "CandyMonium" :shrug:

Velocicoaster is soooooo goofy. I love it.

 

[ProColor]

If they're leaning in to the "Theme Park within a Theme Park" thing, that name is genius. I mean the Discovery center has had "You bet Jurassic" for forever now.

 

[Honor_Knight]

Lame.

 

[OrlLover]

I think the name is fine and catchy. I’m not the type of person to get caught up on names. It’s better than HMCMB.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Implies speed which is a very good thing

I believe @Alicia or @RollermanDan hinted it would be the fastest multi-launch coaster in the world.

I believe @Alicia or @RollermanDan hinted it would be the fastest multi-launch coaster in the world.

Dan said it first. I was just quoting an internal document I found, but he had the lead on it.

I wonder if it still will be though, as my intel on that was already old by the time I saw it, and there were rumors that the top-hat element was lessened from 200+ feet to something closer in height to Hulk. Maybe @RollermanDan can speak to it more.
