Oh I see you, footers for launch 2. I see you, and I approve. :bigeye::drool:

Looks like they're starting a tunnel or building for it too.

I wonder what's going on with the massive pipes in the top of the photo.

Looks like they have all of the Popeyes boats in the lagoon currently.

The service road to Popeyes is blocked off by JP construction (in bios photos you can see they totally ripped it up)

My guess is they’ll use the red crane to lift the Popeyes boats from the lagoon into the ride path.

They’re all gone today, I assume they’re back in the ride.

Is there any word on the design and color scheme that they'll be going with for the new Raptor Encounter? Will it be classic Jurassic Park or the more blue and modern approach in Hollywood? I'm still confused how the new coaster is going to be themed to Jurassic World while the rest of the land (and River Adventure) remain Jurassic Park.

It’s going to be In-GENius how they do it.

Is the ride on the basis of story gonna be a coaster (since Jurassic Park/world is canon a theme park so they can get away with that approach) or do we think it’ll be portrayed as some sort of vehicle you can ride through the park on?

While I am excited for a new coaster, I am not a fan of how close this thing gets to Popeye. One of the coolest things about the ride was feeling isolated in the story of Popeye, and I’m not sure how having a giant coaster right next to it will allow it to retain some of its charm.

Oof. Raptor encounter doesn’t even look close to being done. There was a ton more prep work than I thought there would be. They need the new Raptor Encounter up and those walls down in the worst way.

I understand your concern. And from the looks of it from overhead; it looks like it will encroach on it a lot.
But in reality, when you’re getting gallons of water dumped on your head, I bet you don’t notice it one bit.
This will be one of those “Ride it before you judge” situations.

That current hitting the footers is kind of cool...Reminds me of tide waters hitting a bridge....

I suppose that's why Popeye was closed for the length of time it was

It's the reason it was closed at the time it was at least.

I’m wondering when we will know more about a Jurassic World land replacing Jurassic park at IOA unless Jurassic World gets put in the plans at epic universe and becomes a confirmed themed land later on. I think the roller coaster will be themed to JW but they could keep the JP themed it would be kinda weird. I see the construction walls in the Jurassic park area at IOA from pics and I don’t know if this is for the land or for completely for a land transformation into JW. It doesn’t make sense to have 2 Jurassic Park themed lands not sure why we haven’t heard more from this. If a Jurassic World sign we’re to come to JP to replace the JP arch wouldn’t they have done that by now or is it still too early? Also if they were to add a gyro sphere ride they might have to build another Jurassic themed land at epic universe? When do you think we will know more details if the land is staying put to the original franchise or not? 2020 or 2021?
