Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Alicia]

I mean, the main structure for the Jurassic Park ride is a giant unthemed concrete maintenance building. It looks okay up close cause it's got boats spitting out of it and rockwork next to it, but it is still themed as a large concrete maintenance building.

I don't know why I found that so funny.

Just put one of those big circular grey JW Dino logos on the corner, paint the AC ducts dark grey, and add some foliage. Done.

Maybe @Scott W. Could give a pre-viz of what that would look like.

I don't think it stands out that much given the industrial design of the land anyway.

It would be so easy to hide it if they wanted to. Hell, cover it in a giant camouflage net and it would look better.

Well that's what i'm saying. The show building for River Adventure is HUGE. But it is themed to the land in it's own way. It would just take a few nights worth of paint to make the back of the FJ show building camouflage into the land very easily.

Exactly. Paint it grey and put a logo on it and it fits in fine.

Even just making the walls a darker grey and adding the logo seems to do the trick.



Could add something at the top like the roof from the coaster. Make a pretend helicopter landing pad as a tribute to the ride that never got made.

Could be done literally overnight and it looks so much better and like it belongs in the land.

i agree that they can easily fix it with something simple as masking it as a Jurassic World holding facility--similar to how they themed the Beijing E-Ticket building.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Everything for the VelociCoaster is great, but I this last photo is just glaring in how much the FJ building stands out. All they would have to do is paint that greys and blues (and maybe add a few more palms) and it would fit it in with the land, but as in, it sticks out like a sore thumb. And yes, I know i'm being nit-picky, but this is a theme park and we should expect better.

But just regarding the VelociCoaster stuff, it looks great as I said.

I agree, I also think some bamboo there would help also. I wonder if there's a legal reason they can't paint it, like if it has to do with any building considered "in" WWoHP they have to get WB approval or something.

Can't Universal do whatever it is they did previously to hide that building from that angle? Were a bunch of trees removed over there, or something?

 

[Evan]

I think you are safe from the big ones but those hatchlings attack in groups and go right trough those gaps...the danger is lurking everywhere.

GREAT.

Yeah several dozen feet of trees and foliage removed for the new Raptor Encounter.

 

[joelbryant11]

The raptor on top of the rock next to the S-curve is guarding eggs.




The plants at the base of the drop really complete that part. I also like how the pathway along the lagoon is coming along.


I’m hoping this is going to be a big planter next to the hut.

Glad they’re letting some natural light into this section of the queue.

 

[shiekra38]

I literally just added some bamboo in the planter in front of and behind the Raptor Encounter

 

[belloq87]

This is the area in which I'm hoping there's still some significant planting yet to come. I'd like to see them try to visually blunt the sharp corner of that building (as it juts out towards the main path) with some foliage.

 

[Scott W.]

Just copy Diagon Alley and stick a big dino up there.

 

[Legacy]

I didn’t even notice it until everyone started complaining about and trying to fix it...

 

[HandsomePete]

It looks like the osprey has called in backup :ninja:

Tin foil hat firmly in place #TeamOsprey

After thinking about it, JPRA is kind of one big exposed showbuilding

Still though, some bamboo would cure my perfectionist side

Side Note: I'm going to predict that the best seat on this ride will be back row right side

You are going to get flung over that top hat

 

[WillQ92]

Looks like they're running the train with the nose cone on- I don't recall seeing any tests with it on previously.
