Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[DragonSlayer]

This is very exciting news to finally hear. Off we go again! :smiley:

I would think if anything goes in the trike spot, it would be a family dark ride or some sort of theater experience... maybe like the old Alien Encounter only with Raptors?

But I'd definitely be for 1-3 new attractions in JP!! Hoping to hear more soon! :smiley:

That would be really the only thing they could manage to fit in there. I definitely expect a ride for the family and a ride of more thrilling qualities.

-Add in a simulator type ride that you are in a large jeep and a T-Rex is breaking into your vehicle like in the movie and attacking it by tipping it over. This would be a mix of Star Tours (simulated action), ExtraTerrorestrial In MK (The Darkness at Scenes), and King Kong 360 3D (You are in a vehicle feeling King Kong hitting you)

- Major Refurbishment of Ptereadon Flyers so that it is an enjoyable ride that EVERYBODY can ride and not just little kids.

- Minor Refurbishment of Jurassic Park River Adventure

- Remove Camp Jurassic or the Discovery Center for a Jeep Safari Ride.

You NEED to keep the discovery center, as it's one of the main staples of JP in the movie. So I dont really see them taking that away

 

[OrlandoParks]

Then refurbish the discovery center and put the jeep ride where the thunder falls terrace area is

 

[USO92]

And what would you do with the jeep ride that hasnt been done with the river adventure?

 

[Norman Bates]

This, I think, will work better.

 

[OrlandoParks]

How about this where the triceratops thing is?

BOOM! This small-scale family coaster is said to be a themed run-away mine cart ride through detailed Amber Mines. (Kind of like big thunder moutain)

That looks like apx. a 30 second ride. Not much fun there.

 

[OrlandoParks]

This is where the coaster would go

 

[WolfmanJ]

This is where the coaster would go

I think the plans call for an updated version of the Triceratops Discovery Trail. :shrug:

 

[weRyde]

I hope they blow us away with whatever they are adding into JP. With all of the crazy cool HP attractions, JP needs one just as cool!

Wait, are people seriously suggesting they tear down the Discovery Centre?! Aside from the JP gates, it's probably the most iconic imagery from the movies :bang:

Yeah there are several sites that have taken bits and pieces from here and then thrown there own stuff into the mix. Another reason it's so funny to me because people quietly representing some of these websites have begged for more info But I'm sticking to my guns on this one and keeping one heck of a tight lid to see who really knows what there talking about on the internets. So far....

 

[twebber55]

i still dont have a firm grass of what the heck is being built.....coaster? dark ride? hybrid?

 

[JungleSkip]

I have faith that whatever comes will at least be good. I have Diagon Alley to worry about before taking the time to think about JP.

I think it is pretty obvious that it is a Harry Potter hyper coaster through the Discovery Center...I mean what else would it be

totally agree..its hard to concentrate on JP expansion when you have that big behemoth of a construction project next door and only 10 months or so away

Honestly, I'm more excited about the JP expansion, Wonka possibly replacing LC, and the KidZone revamp than Diagon Alley since we already know so much about it. The unknown or uncertain is a little more exciting eace:

 

[demoncarnotaur]

It's official! Site prep and survey work has officially begun in Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure. Survey markers and flags are popping up behind Thunder Falls! Sorry folks I'm not posting photos as any backstage photography is strictly prohibited. But good news is were on our way to a larger and more diverse Jurassic Park!

Yessss.

As always, I can't wait til you can share more. As a huge fan of Universal/IOA and even a bigger fan of JP (a property that has been too quiet for 10+ years) I am dying to hear more.

The trikes days are numbered but for what is what I'm trying to figure out myself

Interesting, I hope they do utilize the space in a cool way. I do hope they add some Dinos in the park..
