Even betterIt already got millions worth of new, lighter trains from Kumbak, I think they're done investing money into that hot garbage. The land would make for a really nice Hyperion style layout though with onboard audio . Let's get through multilaunched Intamin #2 first.
Real talk though, I hope Universal considers bringing in Intamin or Mack to retrack it one day
Shoulda been a Hollywood Dream clone lolRetracting won’t help how many freakin block brakes it has. Needs to just be replaced
B&M was busy and Universal was cheapShoulda been a Hollywood Dream clone lol

Yep! Tear the damn thing down and start from scratch. It’s rough as hell and a sight for sore eyes. Does anyone else think the technology is showing its age too? There’s nothing really that appealing or revolutionary about it nowadays. Is the video even HD?It’s super ugly. At least the JP coaster will have sexy curves. HRRR is clunky and over supported for what it is.
Hey everyone, haven’t posted in a long long time, hope everyone is well. I’ve been keeping an eye on the new Jurassic World ride in Hollywood, has there been any talk or confirmation of this coming to IOA maybe after the new coaster opens?
While I have heard the "if it does well it'll come to Orlando" line from a few folks, I think the crux of it might be that the Hollywood team is handling the JW conversion, and the Orlando team isn't going to agree to bring it here until they see how it performs, well, cause, it's not their project.Talk? Yes. Confirmation? No.
I'd say it's likely, just by going off of how Uni often works, but nothing is confirmed

I get the sense that the Hollywood folks are attempting to prove their worth with this and the SLoP project. Once they do, which I have no doubt that they will, I bet we end up with both of those projects in Orlando eventually.
Of course, that's just my take on things.
The latter. Granted with computer aided design, big mistakes when it comes to the coaster fitting in its designated space are rareQuestion regarding the manufacture of roller coasters...
This roller coaster obviously has to fit in a certain area, but do companies like Intamin fully build a roller coaster like this at a test facility first so they are able to try it out and get dimensions and all the numbers/figures for it? Or do they just build what Universal asked for and ship it to them and hope everything fits and lines up properly?

Hey, I did say *rare**looks at Steel Curtain*
I've ridden that coaster a couple of times and it is insane! Love it so much.You're bang on the money. Looking through Intamin's portfolio, this is the only coaster type I can see:
