Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Scott W.]

Someone on Reddit somehow managed to snap a photo from inside the park. The zero g stall is being installed as of this morning. Won't post it due to forum rules.

The double barrel back makes so much more sense now. Also, why is the guy painting the scaffolding?

At this point, Universal don't need to announce anything and just let all the photos speak for themselves. There is so much hype building for this coaster.

Kinda like Sony's marketing strategy for the PS5. Their silence has created so much hype... same with Universal. Why spend millions in advertising, when you can see something is happening and just let speculation and rumors do all the work for free. Pretty smart if you ask me. Universal got shot in the foot by Eisener back in the day, and it was a hard lesson...but they learned from it. Universal probably has the upper hand these days because of that. Just look at what they've been able to accomplish since then, and not go into massive amounts of debt to do so... just saying.

The real mystery is how they're going to re-erect all of the construction walls before reopening

And what the configuration will be

Walls appear to be up near JPRA. They weren’t there just a few days ago.

I was really hopeful they’d have the raptor encounter side done and landscaped before it opened. So there would only be one side of walls and the other would feel like JP again. But it doesn’t look like that will be the case. We’ll know for sure in 2 days what it’ll look like.

The top hat structure has potentially been christened with its first lighting bolt.... gonna say it's not official though until the track is up. Also could be the crane.

From this angle, will this tower over Hulk?

It might need some more supports. Maybe some large circular foundations and shrubbery.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Nah it'll just go over the arch with no supporting. That's what the double spine accounts for.

It looks so cool already, having that big of a coaster on that side of the park. Excited for everyone to see it.

At least @BBPH got what I was going for but this could be a British thing.

If you haven't, you ought to see Cedar Point's skyline from OH Route 2. All you see is a gathering of the tops of lift hills and Top Thrill. It really sets the mood as you are on your way there and it says goodbye as you're driving home (if you are headed west).

Probably one of the coolest skylines in the world, cities included. Really takes your breath away.
