IOA 99 was AMAZING! I remember thinking "this is the park I would build-- great theming and thrills!"

Definitely still wish they'd just gone with the TRex electrified fence look even if it doesn't make much sense for raptors or fit JW. Seems like such a shame to cover up such a good looking ride even with the viewing areas.
Really not sold on the walls. I don't know how that's not going to feel ultra-sterile and industrial, and clash pretty hard with the aesthetics of the existing structures on the other side of the walkway (and Camp Jurassic adjacent to it).
Walking through today felt very Jurassic to me. There’s still so much peaking out above the walls that it actually makes them not even feel too tall. If they’re able to put some trees in front in a few key spots it’ll be even better, but it’s further back away from the path so nowhere near as claustrophobic as when the work walls were up.
They look like rad dino enclosure walls in a rad dino park. Count me in. :rock:
I keep eyeballing the aerial photos... it appears that much of run has left 6-8 feet for planting.. but i could be wrong. I will wait until they do the finish on the walls and add the plants and then render my caustic opinion.

I really love the idea of the viewing spots. They are exactly what a zoo like this would have. Plus it gives universal a way to frame the shot of the rumored waterfall feature. Plus, this is the back of the ride. It should look like the back so guests aren't as confused as where the entrance is. Add in a bunch of plants and trees and this area is going to look great.
Beautiful...until they add netting, but I get it. They're not gonna let a train flip upside down over a guest path without some sort of protection.

Maybe instead of netting they can add some shade?
Some sails would be nice, or a canopy. Depends on what look they want
You can literally see (what I assume are) connections for nets on the supports now.
I think some kind of camouflage netting wouldn't be out of place for JP.
Netting is inevitable.
As long as it's unobtrusive from views across the lagoon, I'm fine with it. As I tend to enter the land from the Kong/Toon Lagoon side, I don't plan on using that bridge much anyway!
I'll be slightly more concerned if there needs to be a lot of netting in the areas directly in front of the Discovery Center.

It's funny because I told my friends that I saw a wig trapped in the net over Hulk's launch and they said "there's a net? where?"
I also mentioned it to some TM's (just because I thought it was hillarious) and THEY even said "what net?"
I thought I was going insane, but people just really don't notice them

I wonder how they plan on hiding those huge breakroom/AC rooms on top of the loading building.
