Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

[Magic Feather]

If any of you want a reminder of what a roller coaster hype thread looked like around 2008, check out the first pages of the Rockit thread, back when GCI’s were the supreme wooden coasters, Intamins were only known as unreliable, before B&M’s got too repetitive, and Maurer was getting weirdly hyped up.

It’s not, there’s nothing driving the train forward, gravity does that. The static magnet only serves to slow down the train as it crests downwards into the drop. This reduces the speed overages you’d get if you let it fly through the rest of the relatively low layout without a mag in place.

Which will also serve to eliminate people needing a chiropractor or smelling salts after that heartline roll.

I mean, it was all speculation in the first place

They can overspeed a launch, slow it down at the top, and control the speed on the second half all at the same time

No. . . Just no. They will NOT launch a coaster faster than it needs to be, on purpose, just to slow it down. Also, you say it's all speculation but it appears everything you have been saying has been presenting as fact vs question/speculation.

"Well they're also trying to minimize the whip over the top hat...they clearly don't want you flying over it"

That is stated as a fact when, in fact, you have shown you really don't know what you are saying.

Reminds me of when they stress tested Xcelerator’s cable launch and sent it over the top hat at 117 mph lol.

Im just imagining the track snapping inhalf during that. This is the best video I’ve seen all day, I’m laughing my ass off.

I remember when HRRR was first announced...People thought it was going to launch vertically haha...Good times

Although, I don't think any hype around this ride is misguided

I think it was trying to figure it out and I have the habit of presenting it as fact while speculating in my head

I hope you will be ok

Moving right along, I wonder why they haven't finish the track at least on the lagoon side. . .

I believe that is the heavy equipment access point for the waterfront.

There's also a few footers buried where the access bridge is

 

[Steptwice]

There's also a few footers buried where the access bridge is

For what?

I would have signed whatever waiver necessary to try that. Can only imagine how insane it would feel.

 

[jarmor]

For what?

The rest of the supports/track I presume. . .

 

[joelbryant11]

I'm interested to see how aggressive that last turn into the brake run will be.

 

[jarmor]

I can't wait to taste that reverse wave turn! On RMC coasters, they are hellified! Especially on Lightning Rod. . .

The access bridge is over by 3 Brooms sticks, that track is complete.

Access bridge over launch 2.

You mean (Hogsmeade) bypass bridge. . .

 

[WillQ92]

You mean (Hogsmeade) bypass bridge. . .

I understood what they meant, and most others reading it probably did too. No need to correct them. . .

As far as what's holding up 100% track completion...

Turns out we've been waiting on the last footers this whole time. Looks to be footers for the turn around the building and the cage structure.
