Correct. I believe that's why they had to stop the near-misses on DD. The cars were barreling towards each other so any loose object would do serious damage. It's much more forceful that way.

I think we are literally on a roller coaster ride that runs alongside the raptors. They said “feel the rush of the hunt” which is PR speak for feel like a Raptor if you ask me.
This is from the official press release:
Guests will join the original cast of the films – Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing and BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu – as Jurassic World unveils the next evolution of its “carnivore expansion”: the VelociCoaster, where riders embark on a high-speed chase and feel the rush of the hunt while racing alongside a nimble Velociraptor pack.
What if the coaster is pitched in-story as an enrichment activity akin to zoos having their Cheetahs chase a fake rabbit on a wire? Like they realized the Raptors enjoy running along with Owen on his motorcycle, so they made a permanent solution for that. The Raptors chase the coaster around the enclosure... until something inevitably goes wrong.
I'm just brainstorming. When what they've built looks that good, my level of what I expect from a story in a theme park ride- especially a roller coaster- is significantly lower.

Saw this posted on Reddit. Do they normally add attractions to the not valid list this early?
Could you imagine someone standing out front of the coaster waving the pass yelling " let me in, I have a pass"

I think there are many, many people who have no idea what to do when they get to a theme park. All of us on here are but a small cross-sample of society.
And I love everyone who posts here just for that reason!

I see I can’t use this Single Attraction Pass Plus for expedited boarding onto Jurassic World VelociCoaster on 3/20/2021-3/20/2021. That’s okay. I’ll GLADLY use the Jurassic World VelociCoaster stand-by queue on 3/20/21-3/20/2021.
I just want to know if there's a single rider line and if it will be open when the coaster opens.

the one time I was at the parks, single rider or even the idea of 'mixing parties' was gone for social distancing. I did not ride something like Minions, but I bet they no longer group folks the same . Anyway, you are correct that social distance rules have stopped single rider opportunities.
Nope. But I’m not sure there would be any harm in giving one person a row to themselves on this since it has 12 of them. Maybe they can make an exception here

I was wondering what everyone's views are about this:
So with the upcoming blockout dates, I dont think there will be any soft openings because it will be very busy at the parks. I have a feeling that they will start the softs right at the tail end of the blockouts or right after, because there will be less crowds. I also do believe that during blockouts would be a great time to start having official TM previews, which would give around a month for TMs before normal softs and would allow soft openings to begin early/mid-april.
What do you guys think?

No, they always swap out wheels of different composition to tune for the speeds they want and the ride. From the videos it looks like super smooth is the recipe for this one.
New music loop for the area!
Just the bypass bridge and waterfront area currently. (VelociCoaster courtyard)
