Thanks for the additional info, Teebin! That said, doesn't that look a bit too close? I would have personally preferred having the entrance far away from the exit. It might be a problem having crowds trying to enter the attraction while having others trying to exit.

I figured the entrance would be near Toon Lagoon..this is very interesting

I assumed the same but I now know that this isn't the case.

There is a possibility that I could be incorrect about it being the exit... but a major walkway is going there. The red lines are not in question however.

I would assume the red lines would indicate the Jurrasic arch? This gives me hope that's Thunder Falls will be spared.

Thunder Falls isn't part of it.

Yeah the entrance and exit are a bit too close, wonder if it'll make for a cluster in that area but hopefully it won't. Thanks for the info teebs!!!!

 

[Viator]

it makes me wonder if this will have a outdoor line in the vein of Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

Why are people assuming that the exit will be right there. Its just marking the width of an opening. It's not like one line is entrance and one is exit.

What is it you are trying to say here? It is very unclear as currently written. Are to tell us all something that you know?

Good info Teebin, although I am highly surprised at where they are putting the entrance and exit.

I presumes it would be here

Lesson learnt, never presume anything :smiley:

I'm just saying that in your pics you are outlining the entrance to rides, not exits. Unless you mean that will be the in/out of the mini land.

To be honest, it isn't really my "info" (using that term loosely) at all. It is info provided by other fine members on here. I talked out of turn because telling everyone where the entrance will be is hardly "blowing Universal Creative's secret surprises". It's just a simple fact that I felt others would find as fascinating as did I. I am still waiting for the fine members to write to me telling me to shut my ******* mouth. LOL! :wave:

I intended that between the blue is the exit of the attraction after having ridden. That said, I also offered that it may not be the exit as it isn't clearly noted as such. Oops, I just started to explain why I believe it to be the exit and decided I was saying too much so I deleted it. Shut up Teebin!

As ever, answers cause even more questions, huh?

 

[Mad Dog]

Teebs: Thanks for the fairly explicit hints. Things were getting pretty boring around here.

Ok, ok, ok... who got a chance to see this before he edited it???

Sorry, I keep missing posts that have really great questions such as this. As it was designed at one point in recent time, all will be entering a building immediately. Look for major steel construction to go up just over the wall next to where the t-rex was once located. The most baffling thing about this is that there are three lines into the building (makes sense, right?) and then two lines out of the building into an "extended queue???" that is so wildly baffling that I dare not describe it or why. To do so would be to open a pandora's box of questions, but it is really crazy.

What it comes down to is, what is the story being sold on this attraction? Why do we board the ride vehicles and where are we going? This might explain the extended queue.

 

[natespf]

Okay, may be a stupid question... but your saying two sets of ingress and egress for the extended queue?

I'm really sorry. From the phone it cuts the picture off and I only saw the red stuff. My bad. I wonder why it doesn't fit pics in... I'm in the mobike version.

But now that I'm looking at it why wouldn't the exit be on the left. Doesn't the ride go counterclockwise around the plot? Meaning loading would be towards jpra and unload would be toads dudley.

One big entrance with three rows through the same arch/door. Two of those rows might be diverted for extended depending on the time of year. I can only think that it is for singles and standby but I am just guessing. It is also my guess that all, everyone/all will be exiting between the blue lines... after... being throttled in a store behind Thunder Falls. I am going for the exit from AK/Dinosaur kind of thing. That is what it looks like to me. Middle of nowhere and then back to somewhere.

Nope, I don't think so. If any of you thought that some of the land back there is sacrosanct then be advised that is not. I was/am shocked. Any closer and it would be part of the end of JPRA. It's why I love UOR, they use space so efficiently and then push it to the max.

Interesting news...the entrance seems wayyyy too close to the current pathway. The narrow walkways of IOA (particularly that one) have always been an issue in terms of overcrowding, I would assume they will only get worse when a huge new ride is placed there. The ice cream stand on that walkway can create a clustermess on busy days lol...a new ride entrance could be miserable. I thought for sure that they would expand the walkways or create some sort of 'branching-off' path to lead into a separate-themed section. I mean yeah, sure, Universal maximizes space, but sometimes a little waste is good if it means increasing crowd flow and breathability. Hopefully it's not a huge deal, or the actual entrance proper isn't literally going to be right on the side of that current path...but if it is I think we're in for some pretty bad congestion.

As many of you have voiced a concern about this, let me assure you that the entrance will be set back a good 15'-20' behind the current stone wall. So it will have a mini plaza of sorts.
