Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Alicia]

Has it reached a point they need to call in Robert Muldoon?

..Bit of an alarmist I'm afraid, but knows more about raptors than anyone.

He wasn't very good at his job right? I mean look how it all turned out and he was supposed to control the exhibits?

 

[NotPennysBoat]

Well, it's hard to keep track of a rogue employee like Dennis Nedry! Nedry got his just desserts, but I thought Muldoon deserved better!

It's more like "Nedry became someone's just desserts."

Travel agents across the country are saying they're seeing huge upticks in advanced travel reservations for the second half of 2021 since the vaccines have been approved. Some are reporting numbers above 2019 levels. If that holds up for theme parks too, this coaster might well see summer lines rivaling, or surpassing Hagrid's.

I wonder how that will work seeing as the parks cap capacity at not even close to 2019 levels

I have a feeling that Velocicoaster will be as difficult to ride as Rise of The Resistance with capacity limiting and possible downtime

But this is good news either way if true

Citation needed.

Washington Post a day or two ago. They did a story where they interviewed many of the largest travel agencies in the US. Generally 2021 second half advanced bookings, are at equal to or greater levels, than they were in 2019 second half.

 

[fryoj]

Ugh. Moved my Christmas 2020 trip because of all the restrictions, and am going to end up with a Christmas 2021 trip that will be insanely crowded and probably still be watered down.

 

[WillQ92]

It would appear they're pulling pilings out of the bypass bridge.

 

[fryoj]

Thats the area on the original plans where the squared off "observation deck" was. I wonder if they are going back and putting that in.

 

[gabe3235]

Been a while since I went to the park, only got a few pictures this time.

 

[USO92]

Can someone help me place where that bridge is that they seem to be doing construction on in the pictures above? I recall the bypass bridge but I don't recall it looking as such.

My gratitude ahead of time.

It’s from Lost Continent to JP.

I don't know when you last used it but they took the old down and rebuilt this one at the very start of this project.

 

[USO92]

Ah, that explains it. Thank you both. It's been a number of years since I've last visited so that explains it!

 

[Verdicoshna]

When could we see ride ops being hired?

Who says they haven't been?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

When could we see ride ops being hired?

Commissioning crew has been hired as of October.
