Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

I wonder what the scale of the grand opening will be? I’d prefer them to give it a soft opening once the ride itself is ready to go, and then wait until the second after they are not required to do all of the Covid regulations to have a massive ceremony with the cast, unique merchandise, and special ride time

I'm guessing something like Bourne: an online behind the scenes look and special guests.

 

[Blaw923]

That's a great touch, I like it.

 

[Magic-Man]

Hmmmmm

Apparently many of the dining tables that had been along the pathway have been removed as well in preparation for the crowds...



Vehicle removed as well:

Given what happened with the T-Rex, we can assume that's not coming back anywhere else. Bummer.

I don't know, the jeep has moved and been offstage before I think

If they think they'll need that space for overflow queue, I'm happy to lose the vehicle. Right now space is at a premium with physical distancing , so a lost photo op that often blocks a soon to be busy pathway is a necessary sacrifice.

Maybe. But if they didn't go to the trouble to relocate (or properly remove, if the rumor is true) the Rex, I'm not assured they would for a vehicle.

I mean, it's a nice little bit of theme that those of us who aren't going to ride the coaster won't be able to enjoy anymore. If it doesn't return elsewhere.

There are going to be increasingly few places in the land where one can just enjoy some atmosphere, especially if the waterfront is closed to non-riders as extended queue space.

Rumors of rexy’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

There are construction walls by Thunder falls...

And an Explorer just freed itself up. :whistle:

 

[belloq87]

I take it all back!

Crush it down, put it in River Adventure, make it fall down a wall, and make it actually work... lol

[PerceptiveCoot]

This is some of the best integration of lighting and theming I've ever seen on a ride.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

The great thing is that it's something most guests even at night will probably not notice.

 

[Jerroddragon]

Its both cool but kinda strange how many outside rides seem made for night time riding...this and hadgrids and what I assume will be Yoshi's ride as well.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

At this time I believe the only thing holding them back is the queue, which I heard last is still not done at all.
