[tankart150]

There needs to be more outdoor dinosaurs, it is Jurassic Park.

Just to clarify, the queue entrance is behind the discovery center?

Between the Discovery Center and the lagoon.

there’s an arrow pointing to it in this image.

Do you think there's going to be netting over the walkways like Hulk?

The more I look at that launch tunnel, the more pumped I get. I also don't know why but it being one of the lowest part of the ride is going to be awesome.

Interesting, for some reason, this thought never came to my mind. Seems pretty cool that this attraction will draw more attention to this area of the park!

I'm not too sure myself, but from what it looks like, most of the coaster will travel along the lagoon area, which isn't necessarily near many guest pathways. But maybe a little bit of netting for reassurance?

Yea probably. Limited to the areas over the bridge and waterfront viewing areas. I don’t see how they couldn’t.

And yes, this ride will have lockers. Not yet sure about metal detectors though.

I can’t imagine they don’t have more walk around Dino’s or even those drones of (idk the Dino’s name) of whatever they flew around Los Angelas to promote the new JW ride. Imagine looking over the lagoon, seeing the (hopefully re-painted) Discovery center, new JP arches, the new coaster, River Adventure in the back, Dino’s flying around, and some even on the ground meeting guests!! I think it’d be insanely popular.

I think this has been the reason I’m waiting for concept art and more details on this coaster. I’ve never doubted the coaster would be fun but I think the area as a whole needs a bit of a revamp and it seems, seems, as if we might be getting it.

You want fully costumed dino puppeteers walk around guests? Team members with limited view and needing a lot of space? Although cool that would be a nightmare scenario and if I was running the park I wouldn't allow it. We have a meet and greet that gets plussed and I would expect there are going to be dino's visible around the new coaster. And for sure not a drone, it's just not realistic.

i believe so. Here’s another awesome pic from alicia!

I'm still amazed at how much of this coaster they're putting in that small space.

Same, it’s honestly quite impressive.

Also, any rumors on how many riders per ride vehicle?

Expect something similar to Taron or Pantheon. Maybe 4-5 cars per train, kinda like this.

Unless Intamin decides to use the 4 across train like Skyrush at Hershey Park or Hyperion at Energylandia.


I personally think it'll be the 2x2 cars.

It’s 2x2, lapbars.

 

[JungleSkip]

Skyrush

Don’t you dare put that evil on me

 

[Magic-Man]

I'm sorry, did you just say lapbars?

 

[WillQ92]

Although it's Mack and not Intamin, Copperhead Strike has a similar setup for lap bars and it works well with inversions. I think they're quite comfortable too. Never been on a new style Intamin seat though.

 

[Scott W.]

Imagine the spaghetti bowl section is enclosed.

 

[JoshO]

Oh, how I hope the trains have lapbars, not shoulder restraints.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Imagine the spaghetti bowl section is enclosed.

It’s not

 

[Scott W.]

It’s not

The tower next to the station gives that away but I'm bored and my mind wanders.

Love the liberating feeling of lap bars on coasters. Hope they are comfy, don't want another Thighcrush...I mean Skyrush:tease:
