Hi, I'm Billy Mays! here to introduce the VelociToaster! using the amazing power of dinosaur DNA to toast your bread in no time flat!

Lets just be glad its not nearly a tongue twister like some other names.

Yeh as long as the name of the ride isn't half a book I'm happy. I will make an exception if the abbreviation is a dirty word.

I wonder when Universal announces this coaster. I can’t imagine they announce its existence while the parks are closed. I also can’t imagine they announce it after the parks open to help encourage people to come immediately (instead of waiting for the new JP coaster)

A few days before it opens. How they announce everything else.

Everybody will show up for the Bourne show and social distance in the audience.

As I’ve said before, I can’t imagine Bourne could possibly open when the parks do. They’ll need to rehearse again after many months off. Possibly have to do TM previews again as well.

Weirdly, Universal having a lack of shows could be a real benefit in the current climate.

exactly!

“Wanna go ride the velocicoaster?”
“I’m down, but can we wait a few minutes? i Just ate”

The Jurrassic Park Coaster is what it will be called by the GP

yes...plus if a name is tricky or hard to remember, or roll off the tongue easily, it will be shortened or bypassed.

“Let’s go ride Hagrid’s”

no one says “Lets go ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure”

 

[WillQ92]

Maybe Bio can get a ride on a local news chopper haha. Dying to see the progress.

Looks like it. Some Intamins use an extra little wheel on the train just for storage in order to prevent flat spots on the main wheels and they rest on those rails seen in his pictures. Here's that storage wheel on Hagrid (just above and to the right of the main wheel):

^ I never knew there were such storage wheels. Never noticed them before! Thanks!

Very clever. I’ve only ever noticed an extra set of wheels on flying B&Ms and that was forlowering and raising the seating position.

Not to drag the topic into another topic, BUT, if the parks are closed thru the summer and they can keep doing construction without park guests, how do they NOT open this earlier than anticipated? I know they can’t have large crews but it really seems this is coming along so fast and if they’re closed for literally 4-5 months I don’t see how they can’t get at least a month ahead on this entirely.

Also
Just imagine for the average Universal guests/local who isn’t aware of Velocicoaster, were there before the parks closed with it not being totally obvious it’s a coaster, and coming back opening weekend to see an entire new Coaster resurrected haha. The confusion for some would be hilarious!
