Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

Love this image (Thanks alicia!) but a little confused. the extended queue looks surprisingly thin, but i’m having trouble imagining it to scale. does anyone know another extended queue it could be compared to?View attachment 11897

I don't know why it is thin but if they needed more queue they could just wrap it around the DC and back out on the existing bridge. That is a lot of area.

They can also connect it to the viewing area below with built in stanchion holes in the concrete. Also, not everything in the image is precisely to scale.

I’m really surprised that Discovery Center isn’t being used as part of the queue for the coaster. It’s basically empty, desperately needs updating, and very iconic.

Maybe they will put something in there when stuff opens? I like the dinos and the feel of it as it is. Could be plussed to update it but overall I think they nailed the vibe of the first movie (well except for the QS and the gift shop...)

Definitely should be updated, but there might have been a theming problem with queuing in the visitor center before walking outside and entering a secure inGen facility (EDIT: if the rumors are accurate)

However, I imagine that they'll be some switchbacks in the Discovery Center for the early weeks of this ride, when it's presumably pulling 3+ hr waits

This coaster should behave better than Hagrid....in theory

So hopefully the queue wont be as nightmarish.

It's Intamin.

Ya'll ready for a blackout of information about this coaster for the next few weeks? No in park photos, no aerials.

Just means we'll have lots to talk about when the parks reopen.

Mack was doing the controls last I heard

If we keep complaining Universal will start working with Maurer again as punishment

Intamin is incredibly frustrating...but I’d still rather have them building Universal’s coasters over anyone, unless Universal started buying RMCs

Mack was doing the controls last I heard

It's a combination of two things: what is VERY clearly Intamin track and reports that Mack staff were going to Universal to program a new coaster. Staff could be wrong or the track could not be Intamin, or neither. I'm leaning more towards Mack controls but that was never 100% spell out as much as inferred.

The crane is back in action today.

That’s a good point. It’s such wasted real estate. Probably the most wasted prime real estate in the entire resort.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Just make the Discovery Center a walkthrough I’d meet and greets (a la Raptor Enocunter) and some Dino’s roaming throughout anyways. It’d be much more useful like that in my opinion.

At the very least this has less complex elements than Hagrid...No drop track or quick switch tracks

 

[Alicia]

I really want the walk around Triceratops like Hollywood introduced.

That and some USJ Spinosaur fences and we are set

 

[belloq87]

Any new dinosaurs (somewhere! anywhere!) would be welcome.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I can’t imagine they don’t have more walk around Dino’s or even those drones of (idk the Dino’s name) of whatever they flew around Los Angelas to promote the new JW ride. Imagine looking over the lagoon, seeing the (hopefully re-painted) Discovery center, new JP arches, the new coaster, River Adventure in the back, Dino’s flying around, and some even on the ground meeting guests!! I think it’d be insanely popular.

I think this has been the reason I’m waiting for concept art and more details on this coaster. I’ve never doubted the coaster would be fun but I think the area as a whole needs a bit of a revamp and it seems, seems, as if we might be getting it.

 

[JoshO]

Just to clarify, the queue entrance is behind the discovery center?
