Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

I think having an empty park makes things easier but not necessarily any quicker.

But if they’re empty for 2 1/2 months?

True but concrete can only settle so fast and even if they manage to breeze through track installation a few months ahead of schedule, there is still a schedule and the next parts for installation might not be ahead of schedule and they might be working with reduced labour.

The timing of this attraction's opening has little to do with how fast it could've been/could be built.

Off the top of my head, I think this is going to be a longer build than Hagrid’s which is the prime example of it taking exactly as long as they want it to.

@Alicia , btw, is ingen a rumor you heard or a guess for the central aspect of the theme of the ride?

What is that red wall? I see it blocks the view of the building but it seems itll go into the area of where guests will walk

It’s separating the raptor encounter from the restaurant area. The Raptor Encounter exit will probably be along it. (Not through it.)

Such as mandatory shut downs by contractors making prefab rockwork, Intamin and Mack not being able to enter the country for testing, etc etc

Watching the Lost World and I kinda wish the coaster area would be themed to the raptor den from the movie. It has electric fences, watch tower, worn down buildings and other elements that would be very different from anything in the park look wise

Wait, isn't that what we're getting?

I understood it more as the raptor facility from Jurassic World not the abandoned admin building from TLW

Looks like the crane has not moved in a couple of days.

Yep, awesome awesome vid! Hope it’s a series!

But y’all that original River Adventure sounds UNREAL.

Really great video!! Crazy to think if Helicop Tours made the cut we would've never received Harry Potter (or not the same version)

Love this image (Thanks alicia!) but a little confused. the extended queue looks surprisingly thin, but i’m having trouble imagining it to scale. does anyone know another extended queue it could be compared to?

What are the chances the JP arch that used to be on the Kong side makes a return to the new Lost Continent bridge entrance?
